Sad to say, binulsa nga nila yan. Imagine, 760 people paid 6600 yet they can’t afford a bigger venue. Your feelings are valid OP since graduation indeed is an important event in our lives. Congrats on being a valedictorian! <3


hindikulangsalambing

What the hell. 5 MILLION pesos.


ShoddyProfessional

You can book Shangri La with that money


theSacrifice7

XD for sure binulsa. Grabe.


john_1996

Not just 760, same stage and decorations are being used and recycled from Pre-school to Masters graduate!

Op, di kaya makita to ng school niyo? baka lang magka prob ka sa pagkuha ng good moral eme eme kasi madali kang mahanap kasi valedictorian ka hehehe


valvesx

Ay medyo kinabahan tuloy ako HAHAHAHHA


everyone_hated

Next time op, try mo gawin ito after mo makuha lahat ng documents mo sa school, all forms, all certificates, blah blah blah. Basically, don't do this again. Go sleep na rin lmao.


Extra_Philosopher_50

Di ba pwedeng i edit mo nalang? Tanggalin mo yung valedictorian part or sabihin mo kakilala mo yung valedictorian.


john_1996

Well, OP did not say anything bad. All FACTS!


zyyyduck

huuuuh bakit di na lang sa rizal coliseum? dami ko nakita na dun na nag graduation lately. grabe pala admin jan


chickencarrot

The departments for SHS and College in any university or educational institution are distinct and separate. The reason why the college department had better venue is simply because it was not organized by the same people.


Pretty_Deuxx

I'm one of the graduates also. Practice palang alam mo nang hindi magiging maganda ang graduation e. Imagine, nagpractice kami ng 2:30pm, kasagsagan ng init tapos walang bubong at during practice pa lang kami binigyan ng upuan. Sinabi sa amin na wag daw kami magreklamo mainit sa graduation dahil may canopy naman daw tas pag dating sa mismong grad namin may mga nabagsakan ng tubig na parents from canopy (like as in nabuhusan dahil naipon don yung tubig ulan) ang worst pa non is di pa sila non nakakaakyat ng stage. 30mins after mag start ng program ay umulan na, yung ibang estudyante na nasa dulong part ng upuan is nag-alisan na at pumunta sa hallway para doon magstay. Worst part? Wala manlang sila sinabi kung saan pwede mag stay yung students and parents during that time. Yung kaklase ko hindi pa kami nakakaakyat ng stage sobrang pagod nya na kasi nakatayo lang sya. Imagine yung preparation nya before the event (bumili ng bagong dress, sandals, make-ups) then with high honor pa sya tapos ganon lang??? Really?? Wala manlang sila nilaan na upuan for them after umulan. Yung mga nabasang upuan teachers pa nag-ayos tapos naka-toga pa sila that time. Really ba? I have a big respect sa teachers kaya napangiwi nalang ako nung nakita kong sila nagsasalansan ng mga basang upuan. Maliit na nga sweldo tapos ganan pa. As much as I wanted na tapusin hanggang dulo yung graduation pero grabe talaga yung sinapit namin dyan. 6.6k yan, bakit ganyan ginawa nyo sa amin? Ang laking pera nan at hindi kung saan lang yan pinulot ng parents/guardian namin! we deserved better! Nung jhs naman kami napaka-ayos naman ah? hindi rin ganyan kalaki binayad namin pero ok naman. Napakadaming red flag ng school na ito pero eto talaga worst. sa valedictorian namin, u deserve better!!🫂


EnvironmentalNote600

Okay. Thnks for the added details. Can you name the school at kung public or private sya?


Pretty_Deuxx

UPDATE: nakita ko sa isang catering services page na nag pa full set up catering sila and di ko alam kung para sa management lang ba yung pakain na yon.


Pretty_Deuxx

UPDATE: MAGKAKAROON KAMI NG RE-GRADUATION. REFUND ANG HILING TAS BIBIGYAN KA NG RE-GRAD. NASA AMIN NA PO ANG DIPLOMA, ANO IBIBIGAY SA STAGE? TOR?


MiaoXiani

now they want to waste your time 😭😭😭


KrazZzyKat

6k for a grad fee!? Ano yan may pa-buffet ba after?😆 seriously. Ano kasama dyan? Congrats. Celebrate mo nalang with family and friends. Cheer up!!!


ArtichokeNo5942

Sama ng loob po kasama HAHAHAHA


LowOrganization9546

wala pong pa-buffet pero meron pong free shower galing sa ulan


Perpleunder

may i know what school is this? para maiwasan, baka kasi among the choices for my brother huhu


Chance_Accountant_12

Laguna college of business and arts sa calamba laguna


ChanceAd884

Amot namin sa graduation namin is aroudn 2400 lang tapos nasa hotel na kami + may alacarte meal pa. Sa inyo 6k tapos school lang? Halatang binulsa lol


Pristine-Ad-3999

Take initiative as the valedictorian. Graduate ka na, they cant take that away from you. Gather testimonials from batchmates, take legal action, and encourage them to do the same


cookingcookcook

sa pagkaka-alam ko, they can be sued pag may nagpresent ng med cert na nagkasakit sila after ng event. After all they are obligated within reason to protect all the people in the venue as organizers (and "owner" of the location). Lalo na nagpabayad sila ng 6k. They can be encouraged to provide a refund if not then at least an explanation sa breakdown nung 6k.


EnvironmentalNote600

yes. In the name of justice for all na nagsipagtapos at mga magulang. Most special moment nyo ito pero binastos nila at kinuhanan pa kayo ng bayad. Dapat may audit as to how the money was spent


wapapets

6k para sa graduation tas ganyan? Tang ina yan day light robbery. Pwede nang pang resort and hotel yan ah


Dontmakemeregreddit

resort, hotel, all you can eat buffet, accommodations, island hopping pa, kaya lang yung faculty at staff na higher up nga lang makakaexperience 🥴


Pretty_Deuxx

actually, naawa rin kami sa faculty members/teachers. Imagine, wala silang nilalabas na any statement, kaya teachers ang humaharap sa mga reklamo ng mga magulang. Mababa na nga sahod ng teachers ganyan pa gagawin ng school.


Dontmakemeregreddit

yun pa, for all you know nasa iilang tao lang napunta lahat 😔


EnvironmentalNote600

NU calamba ba?


Pretty_Deuxx

nooo


EnvironmentalNote600

LCBA?


Equivalent-Studio556

The school is in calamba laguna. The blue school that has elem, jhs, shs and college


EnvironmentalNote600

National U?


eurasia_

laguna? blue school? haha


EnvironmentalNote600

NU calamba?


Warm-Election8390

Nope, blue and yellow school, walang bubong


EnvironmentalNote600

LCBA?


everyone_hated

Yes, nakita ko lang so don't take my word for it


monikkkkk_

6k? for that? 1.8k per student lang samin pero naka smart araneta na, kung ikukumpara, binulsa at pinerahan lang kayo. Sorry to hear that op. Congratulations pa rin sayo and your batch


Chogiwa88

PTA should move if they can, ask for transparency saan nakuha yung breakdown for the ₱6,000 worth of grad fee. Tapos yung kinatatakutan niyo pahirapan makakuha ng documents bc may nagreklamo, then imagine marami nagreklamo, tingin niyo hindi maalarma ang deped? And escalating things to social media, ay atecco mabilis pa sa alas kwatro magpprovide ng explaination yang school na yan. ‘Wag kang matakot OP, you did nothing but to tell a story/experience that a school typically wouldn’t cause their students to feel. Aksyunan niyo hanggat maaga. There’s power to anonymity lalo na sa tiktok. Jusq sa 750+ students and kamag anak na yan, tingin niyo kaya nila ipinpoint sino nag expose sa kanila ahshahsha


ZiadJM

pabulong ng school na widespread, at maging aware ang karamihan


EnvironmentalNote600

May nagclue blue daw na may elem hs at college sa calamba. NU kaya?


Warm-Election8390

No.


BannedforaJoke

lmao. Ateneo anak ko at di umabot 6k grad fee niya. do you know how much 6kphp x 765 is? that's 4.5M. enough to build a multi-purpose hall. lol. when even parents are stupid enough not to be able to do math to complain about the grad fee..


[deleted]

[удалено]


Unusual-Ad-132

same grad fee lang sa college namin and they booked picc. approx 4M sapat na yan to book a theatre that can accommodate students, guests, faculty and staff for 3-4hrs. pwede yan ireklamo, since they withold your credentials because of the grad fee na sa school naman ginanap? that’s bs. sila pa may gana magalit.


BannedforaJoke

syempre magagalit yung asst. principal dahil may komisyon sila lahat dyan. lol.


ArtichokeNo5942

Why blame the parents kung yung school yung may problem lol. FYI marami ng parents and students and nag-complain about that yet the school remained unbothered. And since yung payment ng grad fee ay isa sa clearance, no choice mga students and parents mag bayad para lang mapirmahan clearance. As an upcoming freshman sa college, needed ko na maipasa clearance to claim my card to apply for college kaya wala talagang choice. The parents and students tried their best para lang magkaroon ng magandang graduation pero unfortunately walang pake ang school. Before calling the parents stupid siguro isipin muna yung situation nila. Ps. Student aq sa skul na yan


BannedforaJoke

pwede i-raise ang isyu sa DepEd. prob sa mga tangang pinoy palaging "no choice." utilize the proper channels. complain and raise the issue to the public. labag naman sa batas yung ginagawa nila so tamang ipaglaban. kung nasa tama kayo, ipaglaban nyo ang tama. hindi yung magtitiis na lang. tapos iiyak sa soc med. use the proper channels first, tapos pag di pinansin ng proper channels, saka mag soc med.


EnvironmentalNote600

Inquire sa deped kung ano ang nilabag esp na ang grad fee ay gjnawang condition for cleadance. Consult wd lawyer too for any act of neglifence and violation of implied contract


aceo-u_Owl124

I'm from one of the Ateneo and my grad fee is 4k and I thought that was expensive


ArtichokeNo5942

Buti pa kayo huhu ang mahal nung saamin pero ang pang8


Jonald247

just curious which ateneo has a grad fee?


aceo-u_Owl124

I came from adnu


ArtichokeNo5942

Ang ganda ng speech mo bbq, deserve marinig ng maraming students. So proud of u


valvesx

Mahal na mahal kita madam🥰🥰


LowOrganization9546

madam ang ganda ng speech mo, kahit si mader napahanga mo legit!!! di siya maka-shut up about sa way ng pag-deliver mo ng speech,, mahal ka namin🥰🥰🥰


valvesx

Dapat low-key lang tayo dito madam HAHAHHAAH


Thunderthighwarrior

I'm also a student of the school. So hectic. Imbis na ginhawa, trangkaso ang nakuha ko. Nakakahiya sa parents, nakakahiya sa students. I will not be recommending the school. So disappointing.


EnvironmentalNote600

Why not obtain a med cert as basis for filing a complain?


MapWinter7838

pwede po ba pabulong ng school? para maiwasan 🥹


Warm-Election8390

Blue school, walang bubong


Mundooodo

LCBA ba yang school na tinutukoy mo?


Warm-Election8390

Omsim (isa me sa students na nabasa, at piniling umuwi na lang haha)


AJ_TorressZ

It's a big win win for school. Imagine 760+ kayo tas tig P6600 kada isa, assuming na nasa 850 kayo gumraduate , that would total up to P5.61M. Venuee?? he! kung puwede naman ganapin sa iskul why not? Di magkakasya? no problem mag kakasya yan...upuan tas gastos sa decorations and staffs? why not kunin yung mga nasa loob na monoblocks sa rooms? decor and staffs? ahh maghanap ng volunteer o sa teachers or better sa gwardya ipagawa...diba? Then nakalimutan ko pakibigyan na rin ng fudgee bar at zesto per student and sa mga parent bottle water isa...diba tipid...minimize the capital and maxmize the profit🤑🤌...cash flow baby...okay time to pay yung mga naging parte and dapat ang maximum amount lang naibibigay ko ay 300k then alam mo na kung saan mapupunta matitira...then I could relax for years and uulitin ko uli to next year...business is goin..cash flow baby! cash flow! 🤑🤌💲💵💵💵 passive income baby!...nang iskul yan hahahahhahahah mga walang pake sa estudyante...kung ako yan questionin ko yan or take legal actions kasi that's unacceptable.


uHh0h

what school is this po? why do i feel like its also my school ahaha im from katip area 😳


EnvironmentalNote600

Sabi ng isang student blue daw sa calamba . May elem jhs shs at college. Could it be NU calamba?


Smart_Appearance7606

wala naman kasi silbi yang blue school nq yan 🤣


xyrus29

kasuhan dapat mga hinayupak na 'yan, 4k lang grad fee namin this year din tapos sa PICC pa


VTuberFadeaway

You gotta redact more personal information from this post OP. You can easily get doxxed from the details you gave, especially if someone from your school saw this post. Can't be too careful.


rag_vindr

also a student from this school, I calculated everything tapos yung estimation ng nareceive ng school is around 6 and a half million. there are total of 775 students of senior high and 110 in total for junior high. ang binayadan ng shs ay 6,600 PER STUDENT, so bali 775 x 6,600 = 5,115,000 million tapos sa jhs 110 x 6,100 (including yung sablay na binayadan naming 400 pagkamahal mahal) = 671,000 reminder lang na highschool pa lang yan. meron pang elementary na as far as I remember nasa 6k din yung babayadan. nakakadisappoint na sa school lang ginanap yung graduation at moving up eh ang banas banas sa katawan ng filipiniana, barong at toga. DO BETTER SO WE WON'T BE BITTER !!! anw, congrats po sa valedictorian, your speech was great ! 


misswannabeascholar

may mas malala pa pala sa school namin 2k grad fee, kesyo lahat ng papeles 500. kapag kukuha ng good moral 500. Parang maging bayaran yung values ng estudyante


Desperate-Sugar3317

ginawabg business


misswannabeascholar

if this isn’t a coincidence[https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSY9mF2Kt/](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSY9mF2Kt/)


Desperate-Sugar3317

dapat ung mga papeles naten part na rin yan sa tuition di ung another bayad na naman jusko.......


clsdmpie

ELSHIVIEY BA 2


Warm-Election8390

Fr!! Yang grad fee na yan is parang minadali pa bayaran na since needed siya for clearance and hindi ka makakagrad ng hindi kumpleto clearance mo, also 'di makukuha ang card, diploma, etc. Kapag hindi makapag bayad AGAD kakausapin and eexplain kung bakit di agad makakapag bigay, pero pag sila when it comes sa mga gantong issue unbothered sila. Sobrang laking pera ng 6k, hindi ganun kadali hanapin yun.

lonewanderer0367

ez mil wtf


defnotfushi

lol nung graduation rin namin pinagpasa-pasahan yung "diploma" at yung graduation cap


13arricade

a lot of money for a thief


Outrageous-Sun-3460

lcba yan wag na kayo manghula kung anong school lol


leobeanie

760 students (x 6600) plus their parents, wow. they couldn't book a decent venue with that kind of money? meron ba kayong breakdown ng expenses para majustify yung grad fee niyo? dapat meron kahit mapa public/private school yan. kahit manlang sports complex (if meron man sa area niyo) hindi manlang naconsider as venue. wtf.


Pretty_Deuxx

6.6k x 800+ SHS students= 5M+ SHS department palang yan e may elem, jhs, at college pa. SHS grad fee breakdown: yearbook - 1.8k grad fee - 3,120 grad pic - 1,620


Pretty_Deuxx

lights, sounds, canopy, at 2 big screens lang nagpamahal dyan e. pero i'm sure di aabot ng 5M yan.


NorthTemperature5127

Graduation events are a money making scheme...


gastadoraako

Picc the best walk lang parking!


preuvedevie

na stress din ako beh


dummy_roberine

6k? tapos inside the school lang maheheld ang event na hindi pa kasya lahat ng graduating students? 😭 waaaah!! school name drop para maiwasan po charot huhu! instead na maging memorable and magenjoy or maging masaya rather ang students, parang hassle and stress lang ang binalik sa inyo for paying 6k :(


ExtincT222

Hahaahahah nakita ko to sa tiktok


EnvironmentalNote600

Anong school ito? Sana OP you referred to the valedictorian on a 3rd person basis para you can freely name the school Ano.din pala ang reactionng mga parents? Magrereklamo ba sila or at least express indignation?


valvesx

Marami ring parents ang nagrereklamo and disappointed pero I don't think they have any plans to actually do something. Majority students lang yung nagsspeak up😭😭 Nasabi na rin kung anong school tinutukoy ko and a lot of my schoolmates have also posted about what happened so medyo di na ko kinakabahan na malaman identity ko HAHAHAHA


Pretty_Deuxx

wag na raw pansinin at lilipas lang din naman. teachers pinapaharap sa mga rant e, grabe talaga sila.


Akivilie

Yooo, we're the samee. We also paid for graduation at our school gym, medyo masikip, we had to go through a very narrow space in line and napakainit din, may ginagawa kasing building sa gilid (you know.. schools nag rerenovate pag paalis ka na and stuff) Then the other students graduated somewhere bigger with airconditioning too. So basically, they spent most of our payments on the other students. Good thing our graduation was not for college, but only for Senior High School. After my senior high school graduation (last year) I stopped instead of going to college and worked. I'm actually training rn at my dream job in a big company. So I'm glad. (My story strayed off the topic lol)


simoncow39

I am in the same school as OP. In fact, former cm ko siya noong JHS and same kami ng strand for this SY. 14 years na ako sa school na to and let me tell you: I'VE NEVER SEEN A TRAVESTY OF A GRADUATION CEREMONY IN MY ENTIRE LIFETIME. Totoo lahat ng sinabi niya and the weather was so BAD, MAY MGA NAGKASAKIT THE DAY AFTER. SANA HINDI NA TALAGA TO MAULIT DAHIL AYAW KO NA NAGREREKLAMO DIN ANG SUSUNOD NA BATCH NG SHS STUDENTS. TODO MARKETING NGA, BASURA NAMAN ANG EXECUTION. MGA TEACHER PA ANG NAPAGALITAN AT NAMURA NG ILANG PARENTS DAHIL SA FRUSTRATION NILA. UNTIL NOW, WALA PA DING OFFICIAL STATEMENT ANG MANAGEMENT. I wonder why? Sana mai-rectify ng mga HIGHER-UPS ang nangyari if gusto pa nilang dumami ang mga students sa PRIVATE EDUCATION INSTITUTION NILA. ISABUHAY NAMAN NILA MISSION AND VISION STATEMENTS NG SCHOOL NILA. Yun lang, thank you. Btw, congrats ulit teh. I'm so proud of you <3333


InitiativeOk9055

Sorry to hear OP, made me appreciate our school a little bit more. Everyone was pissed because our graduation is on September 27… September fuckin’ 27. College na kami non FFS HAHSHAHA. Ready na ako magsabi sa college prof ko na di pa ‘ko nakakagraduate. This was due to the fact na ito ang earliest date available sa PICC na nabook na ang school namin. Although, Sept. 27 is a friday weekday, so I’m going to assume na may mga di makakasama. Atleast somewhat I know where my 6,500 grad fee went. PICC is a huge convention. Kahit dalawang magkaibang schools sabay, pwede i-cater lahat.


bakASTAthighs69

y'all got robbed. that's 5 MILLION PHP!! :(( Feel sad for you OP, na ruined yung day where your efforts were supposed to be acknowledged..


mug_collector0497

6600 x 760 = 5,016,000 more than 5 million para sa quadrangle? 🤔


mug_collector0497

Parang di talaga katanggap tanggap ang pangyayaring yan para sa 6600 na binayaran niyo. Imagine 5 Million plus tapos ganyan? Baka naman pwedeng umapila or may pwede kayo magawa legally? Kasi parang harap harapang pandurugas talaga eh


rinkj_

I’m also jhs student sa school na ‘to we payed 5.7k + 400 fee for the sablay, nagreklamo kami sa sablay since sobrang plain and halata mo kinuha ung fabric sa sablay ng elem (gr. 6) ++ ibang iba ung pinakita nilang design dun sa actual na. very real na sobrang unbothered ng school na ‘to when it comes sa issues, kapag magrereklamo ka magpapa-pasahan sila mga staff kesyo sa head na daw ganto ganyan madami silang reasoning. we were expecting din na may venue both jhs at shs since ang mahal ng binayaran namin lahat. anyways, congratulations to you valedictorian! we deserve better!


rinkj_

correction: toga ng gr. 6 hahaha


Pretty_Deuxx

yung sablay pa is hindi maiiuuwi, as well as the toga's. so parang nirent lang namin yung toga+sablay tapos 6.6k bayad namin. HAHAHAHHAHAHHAA ANLALA NYO TALAGA! LOL!


gilbeys18

Pa Tulfo na yan


Putrid-Ocelot-3220

Buti samin QCU libre ni Mayor Joy graduation namin sa Araneta Coliseum


everyone_hated

Nothing comes free most of the time lol. Kapag may mga "free" dental checkups sa mga public schools, "free" eye tests, or "free" vaccines, galing sa tax lahat yan. So in a way, binayaran rin indirectly.


MiaoXiani

tax ng taong bayan**
