are all professors this inconsiderate or is it just ours

this did not happen to me, i was merely a bystander while this happened inside the department.

i am a student at a well-known university in western mindanao, we have an upcoming event [just our program] that we have to pay for—₱250 may not be much, but in these times of crisis every peso counts. a classmate of mine cannot afford it, i did offer to loan her money but she refused. she decided to talk to the professor who’s in charge of the event believing he would be considerate—he was not, my friend was humiliated and ridiculed. he [and another professor] told her along the lines of “papa-utangin ka namin, pero gawin ka naming slave, *slaps table* say my name.” my friend walked out of the department in tears of frustration. weeks before this, one of the profs taught us about the struggles of indios and how the spaniards mistreated them, and now making jokes about it is ironic.

mind you not only are these men phd holders, but also family men, wives and kids and all. i’ve already heard rumors of these two, i believed said rumors, i wouldn’t put it past those two they’ve always been shitty, but witnessing it beforehand is something else, nakakagalit. and it’s sad because we can’t do anything about it.
