This post has something to do with my duty here in Trece Martirez, Cavite.
From our dormitory in Dasma, Cavite, we arrived at Summerfield Subd. Brgy Osorio, Trece Martires at around 8:30 in the morning. It was just another ordinary day because we've been doing this for two weeks already. Yesterday, we did not finish looking for a family for our typology next week so we loiter around the place to look for a should be "depressed family". The usual "tambay" moments happened so we stop over a small sari-sari store and my classmate found out that the owner has a breast cancer and needs blood donor for her supposed operation. Honestly, I do not have any idea about what operation would be done(I don't know the medical term). With "gift of charity" in mind, four of us decided to volunteer to donate our blood so we asked permission to out clinical instructor and he allow us to go the hospital where the operation would be performed. We ride a tricycle on our way to Bonifacio Medical Center in the capital city of Cavite but the hospital was a public government-owned hospital so we were not able to make reservations during that day and they told us that due to the hundred of early reservations, obviously they can't accomodate us. We again loiter in the hospital while waiting for our "ale" when suddenly, a former CI/Professor of PWU was also in there as a CI for another school.
Due to some private matters and sensitivity of his(or her??) identity, I decided not to name the person here in my blog.
WE were shocked to see him in the hospital. Rumors says that he is working as a call center agent in which he confirmed but of course everybody's question is what happened before he decided to resign as PWU nursing professor. I have heard the story from different gossip personalities of PWU and from our current CI but of course, I believe that there are two sides for every stories so I think it is the right time if he tell us his side. He jokingly asked us what "paninira" were made by PWU Nursing professors about him. Of course, we actually avoided the issue but it came and he confessed to us that yes, some stories were partly true and correct but also others were sensationalized. That is his story. That is his summary.
It's just a pity because that professor was really one of the best PWU have over the years. But in reality, those best doesn't come out to be good the way we see them in later parts.
I know that our country has been suffering from so much fiscal and financial crisis which unfairly affects the masses and the professionals that is why some real professionals are leaving the country in search for greener pastures abroad but do some things like what happened to him really should be done to alleviate poverty or caprices?
I mean why does it have to resort on this things? I remember back in high school when I was taught about one great quotation by one great author:
"The end justifies the means"
Some people we know may be very best at their skills but none of them are perfect. Like Robin Hood, he help the poor by stealing. Is it the same to this professor I/we knew, to bestow knowledge to hundreds by stealing hundreds also?
Unfairly, we ostracize people by the little mistakes they commit. But we give pardon to people even if it is thousands and millions of pesos they steal.
Yes of course, wisdom in line with honesty must start in every small institution we are involved in order to promote to the macroscopic level. But who knows the extremes to such things as this? Do we really care?
and the series with the bald coach slash vice governor is over.
