UP students are not supposed to be called “Iskolar ng Bayan” (Scholar of the Nation). They are “paying scholars”. If you are paying more or less PHP 21, 000, would you really feel that you are indeed a “Iskolar ng Bayan”? Upon enrollment, UP students get in line to pay for their tuition holding wads of cash roughly four times thicker than those from New Era University would pay for. I am sure that we don’t need figures, charts, and statistics to prove the veracity of my claim.

Had it been somebody from PUP, PLM, PNU, TUP, or any state university/college who boasted himself as “Iskolar ng Bayan”, I am inclined to agree. Otherwise, if it’s from UP who claims such, I will maintain the same incredulous revulsion.

Reply: Thank you for your comment. Believe it or not, however, UP is still a state university despite the astronomical increase in tuition and other fees. If we were to believe the claim of the UP administration, the tuition at the undergraduate level amounting to P1,000 per unit is still subsidized, given that the actual cost for UP education is more than P60,000.

But this is, of course, beside the point: The fact that poor but deserving students are now being deprived of a UP education is a reality that we all have to face, and to collectively change.

In this context, the term “scholar of the people (iskolar ng bayan)” still applies to those that are classified as state universities and colleges (SUCs). The reality of “paying scholars” applies not just to UP but even to other SUCs you mentioned like PUP and PNU though they tend to pay less, at least for now. It may interest you to know that progressive UP students and teachers unite with other counterparts from SUCs and other like-minded groups to fight for increased state subsidy to education and to change the current trend of its commercialization.

Thanks for commenting that story, perhaps most of them criticized the theme and calling it as a theme for radio since they got used to listen on the jeepney. Sa bagay, nakakairita din, nakakatuwa at nakakainis.

Thanks for the reply Sir.

I just think that “UP ang galing mo” is good-suitable for ikot jeepneys or in “Love radio” hehehe….

well…
based on the anecdote I read, it shows some UP students thinks that the song is similar to the jingle, and here it is:

At habang naghihintay kami para muling makarating ang mga torch bearers sa Quezon Hall… mga ONE HUNDRED bazillion times ding pinatugtog ang UP Centennial Song sung by the mysteriously anonymous “UP Centennial Band.”

At maraming nag-comment sa lyrics ng kanta ng centennial song…

Anonymous UP Centennial Band: Narito kami nagpupugay…sa yooooo-nibersidad ng aming buhay…

Rose Ann: Haayy.. sa dinami-dami ng mga magagaling na bandang alumni ng UP…bakit ganitrez ang centennial song at mukhang kinapos sa lyrics! Buamanat pa ng “Yoooo-nibersidad…” Tama ba naman yun?

Anonymous UP Centennial Band: Sandaang taon na tayo…lagi ka pa rin sa aming puso…kaya’t kami’y sumasaludo…UP…ANG GALING MO! UP…ANG GALING MO!

Dingdong: Ano ba yang centennial song natin…parang katunog nung jingle ng Love Radio… “Love Radio…isigaw mo pare!” UP…Ang galing mo nga!

Naku…sa mga hindi nakakaalam ng UP Centennial Song…imagine-nin niyo yung jingle ng Love Radio…ka-level nun yung centennial song…

“Kadyot lang…kadyot lang…Ate…ba’t pinakikinggan mo yung UP Centennial Song?”

“Isipin mo na lang…LOVE RADIO YAN!……..waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!”

Sagot: Maraming salamat sa kuwento mo. Nakakahiyang nakakatuwang nakakainis. Ibang antas pala ang inabot ng panlalait sa kantang ito. Nakakairita talaga!

Halata naman kasi na hindi ang pagiging dalubhasa sa sining at kultura ang pinairal sa UP Ang Galing mo , kundi kayabangan, komodipikasyon ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas na pinamumunuan ng mga utak manganagalakal na parag gustong ihalintulad ang UP sa mga variety show… It takes more than a Bussiness Adminsistrator to market a song… Market anaylysis is combined with cultural background and linguistical accuracy to make a song a hit… Gisto yata ng kantang ito makipagsabayan sa Otso-otso, Pito-Pito, Wowowie, Itaktak mo, Spaghetti pababa…
