my open letter to senator chiz escudero:
Greetings Senator Chiz Escudero!
I am from Marikina City, I would like to raise a complaint about what happened awhile ago, I was about to take an entrance exam in a local government university, but I wasn't allowed to enter the campus because I was wearing slippers, but those who were in sandals are allowed to enter. There was a short argument at the gate of the campus because many students were not allowed to take the exam because we were not given a formal notice on what or what not to wear on the entrance exam. Instead, we were advised to take the afternoon exam without formal arrangement.
Although it's not my main point, I personally think that there should be law created that would prohibit schools especially government owned to oppress the freedom of the students to wear clothes which they are comfortable of, I don't see any good reasons for schools to set rules like that. In fact it affects us students in our performance because we feel uncomfortable on what we wear and we lose focus on our studies.
We are in the Philippines, many heroes have fought for the freedom of our country and yet our schools that should set good examples in implementing our rights and freedom in this country is rather the one oppressing us from practicing it.
I hope I can hear from you soon about my letter.
Sincerely yours,
Gian Rei A. Mangcucang
