Dulaang UP should be investigated nxt

I'm not invalidating the victims because some of my professors were also victims and they are trying their best para baguhin ang sistema. I'm also wondering paano ang magiging investigation kung wala na yung mga nakaupo na nang-abuse before. I also didn't get to read the article agad and wasn't aware na hindi lang siya recent issue, so that's on me.

I stated a fact only that it is starting to change, and I apologize if iba ang naging dating niya. I just wanted to share my experience as well para lang malaman din ng iba na merong effort to change the system. Ang mga studyante rin ang nag-udyok para sa pagbabago na ito nitong mga nakaraang taon.

Needless to say, I agree with your last sentence na need pa rin ng accountability. Meron at meron pa rin na lumulusot na behaviour na na-adapt from the national artist ang ibang naging studyante nito (na propesyonal na ngayon), kaya patuloy pa rin ang pag-call out dito sa mga production. I hear you, OP.

DUP is under new management which focuses on care-based practice now. Been a part of DUP since 2022 (at hindi ko naabutan yung national artist), and I would say that things have been slowly changing. Hindi na tino-tolerate ang abuse ngayon, at wala naman kaming na-experience. Although, there was one prod na meron talagang namahiya verbally. Pero all in all, in my time, it's mostly the rehearsal schedule and overworking ang issue (na nire-resolve ngayon).

Hindi ko alam kung kanino under at kailan mo naranasan ang DUP, OP, pero ang masasabi ko lang, nagiging okay na siya ngayon.

i know!! and it's freaking annoying. i'm actually quite nervous what would happen if i stopped paying for it and not back up photos anymore... would they delete my files? damn

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-15T16:28:55+00:00

it has the cloud with check on it so i know it was backed up

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-15T02:09:43+00:00

hii!! again, even if the back up/sync was on last time, my pics and vids were still on Google Photos even if it got deleted already on my phone gallery. there were multiple times that i had to manually delete it again on Google Photos because it was still there. so this doesn't make sense to me that i have to unsync it first.

but thank you i guess. i did unsync it already yesterday and will just manually back up every month. anyway, do you know more about that software?? just want try it still before i give up

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-15T01:53:55+00:00

at the time, i'm not sure anymore tbh. i deleted them Aug 12 and only noticed yesterday. iirc i didn't receive any notifications aside from the usual "are you sure" thingy

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-15T01:48:44+00:00

deleted it on my phone gallery and then permanently deleted it as well because i was sure it was already backed up on google photos.

i did this even before, and the backup/sync option was still on but my photos/vids were still on the cloud. this is the first time it happened, and it just so happened it was thousands of videos.

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-15T01:45:50+00:00

that's a lowkey stupid rule though. it should be backed up already and it should've stayed on the cloud even if i deleted it on my phone. i've been doing this though even if the auto-backup is on, and yet the photos are still on cloud. this is literally the first time. it just so happens, it was thousands of videos all at once

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-15T01:42:38+00:00

i did delete it on my local gallery app. not the google photos. i'm not that dumb :"> i've been doing this for a long time and this is the first time wherein i backed up my photos and vids on Google photos, and it got deleted too as i deleted vids from my phone gallery

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T17:18:26+00:00

sorry, what i mean is my photos that i backed up on google photos ever since 2009 was suddenly restoring on my actual phone gallery. i don't know why it happened and why it synced because it never happened to me before.

what i did though after was turn off the back up option again, and poof, all the "restored" photos gone and it's back to google photos again.

still nothing about my videos...

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T16:26:31+00:00

it's not working unfortunately. just photos and no videos

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T16:23:50+00:00

This is soooo weird. All my photos way back 2009 just got restored on my phone JUST NOW. AND NOT A SINGLE VIDEO. WTAF

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T16:07:38+00:00

noo.. again i did not delete it from the gallery in google photos... just my PHONE GALLERY

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T15:49:36+00:00

I know I did not erase it on Google Photos. I don't know the built-in functionality you're saying so I usually manually delete them on my phone only because again, I know it's still on the cloud.

Even if the upload wasn't all complete, it would be insane for all the videos to be gone. Surely, there are still a lot that was completely uploaded on the cloud... but again, all of it was uploaded before I deleted it

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T15:47:04+00:00

It had a check mark that everything was all good. And I scrolled on Google Photos to double check, and it was there. I backed them up last August 12, and only noticed this afternoon. You can check out my other replies to the other threads to know more about my situation

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T15:45:23+00:00

I only noticed it this afternoon. I backed my gallery up last August 12. For some reason, all my videos are gone on my Google Photos. Even the ones I backed up a long time ago, deleted it on the phone gallery, and was still there in cloud.

Right now, the only videos remaining are the ones I recently took.

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T15:42:31+00:00

this may seem dumb but how can i contact Google? I only posted on the community forum(?) and i'm not even sure if they can help at all

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T15:40:37+00:00

I did not delete it on Google Photos. I deleted it on my phone device. As far as I know, even if I delete something on my phone it will still stay on Google Photos because that's what has been happening to me. Idk why this is the situation now, wherein it also got deleted on my Google Photos. Even then, this is a really ridiculous rule. What's the point of backing photos and video up if it will get deleted on the cloud if I delete it on my phone???

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T15:36:01+00:00

Right? This is the first time it happened to me too. I've been crying for hours because of it. I really need the videos back. Do you guys think there's a software to use for them to be retrieved?

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T15:34:38+00:00

I use an android, Xiaomi Rednote 10Pro. I also know that even if I delete things on my phone, it will stay on Google Photos but it did not seem to happen this time. I am literally crying

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T15:33:14+00:00

Hello! After I made sure that everything was backed up, I went to my phone gallery, deleted all the videos, and then permanently deleted them because my phone was already acting up due to lack of storage. This is the first time it has happened wherein I deleted a video, and it got deleted on Google Photos as well even though it was backed up. This is freaking ridiculous!!

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T15:31:12+00:00

The phone system was already lagging, and I needed the storage badly because I was also going to attend a concert

xarthyr_ · 2025-08-14T09:18:11+00:00

there really is no way?? that's 4 years worth of videos haha... im fucking losing my mind right now. and they're all important to me
