ACADEME

 Dear insansapinas,

Before I joined the academe, I just had resigned from a company where I was the chief accountant. After installing the accounting system, the president of the corporation (closed corporation) thought it was beneficial for them to give the position to his unemployed brother-in-law. As if it was not enough, he asked me to break- in the man who would not pass the CPA board exam several times. I left the company. walang mahabang sulat. tseh nila. Idinemanda ko ng wrongful termination, walang nangyari. Wala naman akong abugado.


I decided to try the academe thinking that in the institutions where professionals are expected to be morally upright there will be no intrigues, no discrimination and no corruption or fraud. I WAS WRONG.


So when I read this article from manila standard, even if the investigation has not yet been finished and the accused is still given the benefit of doubt, I can say that there are really  cases when the top position of a university is being given to those "favored ones".

The Ombudsman ordered CHED Chairman Emmanuel Angeles to enforce the order against Umar, whose case stemmed from a complaint filed by Sahajim H. Hassan, former president of the Tawi-tawi regional college.
Hassan accused Umar of asking for money with the promise to make him college president.
“The money was deposited to the accounts of Umar, her daughter Rihanned M. Umar, and a certain Romeo S. Alcala, all at the Land Bank of the Philippines. Sometime in 2006, respondent asked for and received the amount of P500,000 from the complainant coupled with the same promise of making the latter president of TRAC,” the complainant said.

 Naalala ko tuloy nang inalok akong maging presidente ng isang university. Bagsak ang baba ko. Kasalukuyan palang ako noong kumakapit sa kalendaryo para hindi malaglag sa buwan ng Pebrero. Ako magiging presidente? pinaglalaruan ako.


Ganito yon.


Boss: Gear up, long drive tayo sa...(insert yong probinsiya). Malapit nang mamatay yong presidente ng university, kailangang makausap ko. (boss ko consultant ng mga schools and universities). Kaladkad niya ako dahil kaladkarin ako. 


Kasama namin yong kaibigan kong nasa New jersey ngayon na siyang magbibigay sana ng trabaho sa akin sa multinational company na may office sa pinas at sa ibang lugar ng mundo. Sipunin pa rin siya noon. Kami lang kasi kaya ni boss na bitbitin sa mga lakad niya dahil yong ibang part-time consultants, may mga sari-sarili ng puwesto sa mga kumpaniya nila. Tawag lang sila pag malaking project. Pero ako ang tinitrain ni boss. Mabait raw ako. pag tulog at di naghihilik. Saka sabi niya malakas daw akong makaintimidate pag kasama ako. OO kaagad. Anong akala niya sa akin, bodyguard?


Pagdating sa university, sabi ni boss, pipray over daw kami noong presidente. Relihiyosa kasi. Kaibigan: Oy maglagay ka ng belo, baka umusok ka pag prinay-over ka.


Naku ang tagal naman kaming nakaluhod. gutom na ako. roll eyes na ako sa boss ko. Sabi niya. kaunti pang hirap, ikaw na ang gagawing presidente dito pag nakatagal ka pa. Roll eyes ako ulit.


Pauwi na kami, sabi noong aking kaibigan.


kabigan: ikaw sanang gagawing presidente kapalit niya pero ang reklamo mo raw. Tapos nagkindatan sila ng bossing ko. Tseh. If I know, kailangan doon Christian, eh ako, saradong katoliko. Hindi nga lang nakasusi.
