I just need to get this out.

The University of Santo Tomas is not a Catholic Church. It’s a Catholic University. A Catholic University that produces well-bred, competent professionals. How can you say that UST is a school that only accepts “mga bobo”. UST is a part of the top 4 schools in the country, the others being Ateneo de Manila University, University of the Philippines, and De La Salle University. So for you to say that UST only accepts incompetent individuals, is an insult to me, a student of the university, the student body, the alumni, the faculty, the university itself, and to the Department of Education and Commission on Higher Education of course, because then you would be saying that you have better judgment than the DepEd and CHED.

Reading that post was a huge insult. You had just called 40,000 individuals stupid, that’s not going to get you anywhere. It’s one thing to say that about one student, but it’s another thing to say that about the whole student body. That is where the line is drawn.

The reason why the people who were not able to pass the exam are bitter, as you say, is because they did not get accepted into the institution as they had originally planned. Why else would these people take the entrance exam and why else would they want to study there if they believe that it’s a university filled with idiots?

One of the things that ticked me off the most was that the reason you used to justify your act of recklessness, is: 12 years old lang ako, tapos papatulan niyo ko and 12 years old lang ako, mas matatanda pa yung pumatol sakin (though we all know for a fact that she is 16). Well, for one thing, you had just insulted the entire student body of the University of Santo Tomas, what else do you expect? You cannot always use that reason when you do something bad. Actually, you shouldn’t use that reason at all. Because there should be no reason. You shouldn’t be going around writing horrible things about issues that you know nothing about. That was you. That was all you, it was your fault. You can’t blame your age or anything else. When I was twelve years old I didn’t talk like I knew everything and then post it online for the purpose of offending anybody. There is no justification to what you did. You were being mean, insensitive and inconsiderate. Please learn internet etiquette.

I really didn’t want to do this, I believe in freedom of speech, but what you said was just a bit too much.
