UP Baguio Jubilee!

I find this photo demeaning and disrespectful. Is that really what some UP students think of the symbolic raising of the fist at the latter part of UP Naming Mahal? That it’s a “fist pump” to look “cool”? Sorry, but that is disgustingly shallow.

A reaction to my caption as “DISGUSTINGLY SHALLOW.” Any other violent reactions out there?

WALANG BASAGAN NG TRIP!

Sana matuto tayong respetuhin ang tradisyon ng ibang mga unibersidad. Hindi namin itinaas ang kamay namin dahil sa “cool” ito, kundi dahil mayroong kaming mga politikal na paniniwala na walang takot naming inihahayag. Kung sino man, yung nagedit nito, sana hindi niya na lang nilagyan ng ganitong pahayag. Kaya tuloy hindi rin masisi na mainis ang ibang mga tao kasi parang ipinaparating ng larawan na ito na “cool” ang pagtaaas ng kaliwang kamao habang kinakanta ang UP Naming Mahal. Respeto na lang po. Bukod pa roon, hindi lang naman kaming mga estudyante mula sa UP Baguio ang nagtataas ng kamao kapag tumutugtog ang UP Naming Mahal. Lahat naman ng kabilang sa UP system ay ginagawa ito, ngunit nasa tao iyon kung ano ang itaas nyang kamao dahil nga sa kanyang politikal na paniniwala.

hindi naman nakakabastos sa tradition natin yung photo. siguro it’s just a matter of posting it sa isang blogsite na lahat ng makakita pwede mag-react kaya entitled naman lahat sa opinion. no need to lecture us on its meaning, though. alam na natin yan lahat. we don’t need to fight dahil iisa lang naman ang pinaglalaban natin (sana). coz we’re cool like that. ;) 

Obviously, this photo was captioned in that way because our dear friend here is happy she graduated. Sort of school pride thing. Alam naman natin na di lang UP ang may fist pump, pero tayo lang yata(?) ang may left na fist pump, so parang ang sarap ibida. So there. Hi Patty!

Reposting because of the interesting comments.

I initially reblogged it kasi I found it funny (in a good way). Yeah, I agree with -aaronisms that it’s some sort of school pride, which has been translated (?) into the hipster context of Tumblr - in a form of a meme.

Yeah, we’re cool like that.

PAGTATANGLAW
