Say what, Saab?!

Pol Medina, the creator of Pugad Baboy was recently sacked by PDI due to controversial comic strip. While I don't really have any care for this issue, someone seemed to have very strong feelings about this and attempted to write a smart article about it. I say 'attempt' because what started out as a 'smart opinion' on the issue turned out to be a shallow, superficial post on why she hates Assumption Antipolo. One might say 'what??? how's that related to the topic?'. Oh well, here are her points that didn't really make sense to me:

First of all, if you have the money to go to Assumption Antipolo, you very well have the budget to buy simple ponytails worth P5-10 perhaps. Setting that shallow ponytail issue aside, does she even know why there are rules like that in exclusive schools? Obviously she doesn't cus she might be too busy wallowing in her angst for the past several years. One of the basic reasons for this is to prevent jealousy among the students. Some schools now even include meals in their fees because they want to avoid the 'pasiklaban ng lunch' among students. Seriously, you couldn't understand girl? 


My response to point number 6 is this:

Honestly, I wouldn't have cared (and prolly a lot of people wouldn't have either) if she didn't name drop the school. Assumption Antipolo deserves far more respect than this. Chill, Saab Magalona. If you hate Assumption Antipolo so much, don't worry, I'm sure they hate you back. Next time, study well, read well, and most importantly, investigate before you react negatively.

  2. More than jealousy, I think what Assumption wants students to learn from simplicity is humility and that they can stand out as individuals because of their character, not because of a cute pink Hello Kitty clip. I'm an alumna of AA and my daughter is starting school there on June. More than being an 'old girl' and the excellent education, we chose AA because of the values they teach students. Clearly, Saab did not get the point of Assumption education.
