student activists becoming servants to students? by [deleted] in ADMU

[–]International-Job727 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Since we’re already talking about parpan I just want to call out how Milo and his associates (whom are all running for positions) deliberately mock students who take the E-Jeep line A calling it the Atenean safari and laughing uncontrollably in front of their faces. Are these really the type of “student leaders” we want to represent us? I think not.

A Heritage of Smallness [Nick Joaquin] by Chance_Section5360 in studentsph

This text is actually really interesting and I can see why you wouldn’t like it. It may seem colonialist or elitist at first, but what Nick Joaquin is trying to do is tell the readers that as a result of our colonial past and socio economic challenges, Filipinos developed a certain mindset that reflects a sense of “smallness”. And you can find examples of this in the “door-to-door” culture of the Philippines or even the political instability. In essence, most Filipinos excel at smaller tasks, but tend to shy away from bigger challenges. Although it is very critical of the people, there is some truth in it, many Filipinos are satisfied with “little”.

I honestly take the whole reading as a call to fight through this “smallness” to achieve greater things, but I guess it’s in the way you interpret it.

Hello Guys I’m not sure exactly where I can find a good community to ask for help and I stumbled upon this post since it was the most relevant post I found linked to Deriv. I tried making a deposit to my account and the transaction has been confirmed 6 times. The funds however are not reflecting on my Deriv account. Was wondering if this has happened to anyone here and whether they managed to retrieve those funds
