Education – What they Taught Us and What they Didn’t

I am a graduate of Batangas State University (BSU) in Alangilan, Batangas City, the Philippines. BSU is home to board passers in engineering. Last April 2018, I was given the opportunity to enter the premise once again, after more than a decade leaving this institution to face the new chapter of life. It was a Saturday. Students are also on vacation. Because my friend's father was a professor here, we were allowed to go in and use the gym to exercise. So in most of the photos of me and my friends you will see here, we are on our  jogging and walking outfits. First thing I noticed, the school has transformed from a dusty ground in summer and muddy-floody during rainy days to now a modern-class venue of learning. Old buildings were renovated, new hallways were built and construction of more new buildings is underway. The main gate of BSU is far good today compared to when I was studying here decades ago. As if, in my mind, something better could have happened here

Filipinos! Here is My Free Education Advocacy that I Want You to Know

In the Philippines, we often hear this statement from the Filipinos about education: “Hindi hadlang ang kahirapan para makatapos ng pag-aaral.” Poverty is not a hindrance to finish education. I completely disagree! Allow me to explain my side. www.knowriel.com - This will change the way you think about education. This is My Free Education Advocacy - for a positive change in the education system we grown up with here in the Philippines. This is for all learners out there - students, professionals, entrepreneurs, and even the ordinary people who have access to the internet. Education from Knowriel - it's free and it should be! Millions of Filipinos are unable to step highschool and even college because of the hardships in life we have in our country. Many are poor and therefore cannot afford the cost of education in the Philippines. If paying 5,000 to 20,000 pesos per semester in a Philippine college is already tough, then how about more the daily baon, school project

Filipinos Need Free Education: Why Can't it be Given? - (A Project for the Filipinos Update)

Update: With this personal project, that never actually materialized, I was able to create Knowriel.com - a FREE EDUCATION portal for all. And I am on my way to make it happen more. I am still taking chances that this project goal will happen someday - for the sake of the street children and poor people at least. Everyday, you can see a lot of kids running on the streets of Manila. That is actually one of the many places where poverty, hunger, ignorance, and hopeless dreams can be literally seen in this country Philippines. Go to the provinces, towns, and barangays anywhere in the country and you will see the same sceneries. Everyday, You Will See Kids Jumping on Jeepneys to Ask for Money - They Need Your HELP At about 100 million and growing, what is the hope for Filipinos to become free from these plagues of times? Could it be education that will liberate people from poverty? Learning how to plant seeds, how to look for source of foods or living, how to apply for jobs
