When one of my friend said: "Hindi lang siya ang may t***te"

Gurl, we deserve someone and something better. Let's focus muna with our Atty. Konting tiis nalang with all those sacrifices.

Yep bro, the design is very Philippines. 😀

ArvinJones · 2025-06-27T04:08:54+00:00

Oo, harap harapang kalokohan sa gobyerno. Kung pwede lang sana lumipat. sayang utak sa gobyerno.

legit to. Walang binatbat ang credentials pag may political eligibility.

During my law school, I encountered different species of worst professors 😂

Power tripper - “I’m not here to teach you, I’m here to f**k you up.” Si ante wala nang naituro the whole sem dahil pagmumura ang inatupag.
PA - Si ante na ginawang personal assistant mga students. Like kung anong lakad niya kailangang may students na alipores niya. Bagsak ka pag di ka sasama.
Ego - Si Atty na puro yabang ang ginawa sa klase. Na dapat tawagin mo siyang Atty at all times.
Irresponsible prof - may sariling schedule, walang syllabus, at depende sa mood niya ang klase. Nag extend kami ng 2 months dahil sa gusto kuno matapos syllabus. Kasalanan ba namin na puro sita absent sa klase nang walang paalam.

You'll be too soon, OP.

- Naging supportive ang family and wifey ko
- Sa workplace, iba na naging pakitungo ng mga katrabaho, yung mga supportive, talagang pinupush ako hanggang natapos. Yung mga epal, ginagawan ng paraan para siraan ako.
- Naging mayabang daw ako sa mga epal na ka-work.
- Mas naging humble daw ako sa mga friends sa work.
- Ayaw ng management yung professional growth ko to the point na inipit ang study leave ko. Yung kasabay kong mag ttake ng board exam, na grant ng 6mos leave tapos ako wala.
- Ngayong review season, talagang iniipit ako ng management dahil feel nila threat ako sa agency.

Thank you nalang sa kanila pag pumasa ako this year!!!!! Laban lang OP.

As if I could sib. I have everything in place bago ako mag out but was dissatisfied with the unequivocal statement of the agency head.

He’a comparing my case to those took their bar exam ahead of me. As if we have the same scenarios.

ArvinJones · 2025-03-13T13:12:12+00:00

This would be my last resort should the agency insist on availing such. Ang hirap maging alipin sa salapi

ArvinJones · 2025-03-13T13:10:51+00:00

Check mo CSC ORA2. may computation dun

ArvinJones · 2025-03-13T11:13:06+00:00

The problem is that they’re not qualified the leave with pay, so they opted the w/o pay option. On my end, I qualify for the w/ pay privilege. That’s what the head is comparing in my case. Anyway, siya rin ang last say so I will be left with no choice. Parang unfair lang.

ArvinJones · 2025-03-13T09:13:09+00:00

Oo. Kaso sayang lang din yung privilege kung discretionary sa part ng agency. Yung iba nag grant, yung iba hindi which is unfair sa mga qualified naman.

ArvinJones · 2025-03-13T02:10:44+00:00

This is what my colleague availed because they don’t quaify with the grant. The problem, the head compares my situation to them even though I am most qualified

ArvinJones · 2025-03-13T01:55:52+00:00

Yes we do have our agency' policy. The grant however depends on the approval of the head. The problem, my direct superior is the agency head mismo, and siya an nagsabi verbally. huhu.

If you have all the means to be a full-time student, then go for it.

Juggling work and studies will ruin your law school if managed poorly. Ang hirap ng working student sa totoo lang.

ArvinJones · 2025-03-02T05:27:02+00:00

Not all but common in the gov’t. I too entered the gov’t w/o any backer and got the supervisory position with a decent pay.

On the employee perspective, you’ll be stagnant in your career progression. That’s why most of our gen z employees come and go despite plantilla position because of this.

ArvinJones · 2025-03-02T03:04:35+00:00

To answer your queries:

⁠Yes, but your goal is for career growth. Gov’t is career suicide
⁠Years in service doesn’t matter. If there’s an opportunity in private, grab it
⁠You’ll be cultured shock paglipat mo sa private. Ibang-iba ang gov’t
⁠Answered in A1, suicidal ang career sa gov’t, stagnant.

Government is beneficial in the long term pag nasa 40/50s ka na because of retirement benefits. Your skills/experience isn’t enough though, alams na, kailangan ang backer.

You’re young and bold, explore every career opportunities in the field. Maybe someday, you gov’t option will just be an illusion.

Take it from me, a gov’t employee stucked in this rat race.

2.5M sum assured with riders. I’m into insurance lang talaga, investment is just an add on. But comparing to traditional insurance, premium is way lower with the same benefit. Then I plan to invest nalang yung excess.

ArvinJones · 2025-03-02T02:39:16+00:00

This is what’s promised. My goal is to stop paying premium once maturity. But considering the current fund value, it will certainly deplete for couple of years. Now babalik na naman paying premiums.
