The catalyst stand in solidarity and rebuke the corrupt officials. This is for the betterment of our country which is the Philippines. A country filled with different ethnicity, weaving the fabric of their culture and a constellation of hope in their faces. With the corruptions that tearing our country to an endless abyss and the people standing and calling themselves a leader where in fact there are the one who is making our country suffer. Is this what we called integrity and leadership? Or a mere facade in our faces.

Taxes that we paid, hardship we endure and homes filled with love and care, shattered in an instant. Because of the higher ups abusing every ounces of it just to be able to satisfy their lustful wants and needs, Leaving us drowning in our own governmental solidarity. Corruptions is not a victimless act. For every stolen money meets a demise of consequences that can alter the shape of global economic stability in the Philippines.

Classrooms unfinished, hospitals lack of equipment, streets and roads crumbled into pieces, projects turns into ghost, and it is the ordinary citizen who suffers from it. Accountability must be pointed on. No more suffering, no more pain, no more of this senseless misery. We should take action and raise our voices because those leaders are not being a leader they are being a oppressor in their own delusional greed.

We the catalyst encouraging everyone to speak up, to stand up, because change is possible if we work together. Lets raise our flags once more to show we our determine and capable to change the wrong doings into whats right. we should always be a catalyst for justice and truth.

We may not have the power or wealth and perhaps they underestimated us because we our weak or powerless but, we have each other, the manifestation of total denomination starts in our palm. To the government officials who are abusing us and treating us a mere pawn in their game. We say this โ€œwitness the will of the weakโ€.

The so called โ€œNO PERMIT, NO EXAM POLICYโ€ has been a hot topic in schools across the world. The idea of it is simple: if a student doesnโ€™t pay for his/her tuition he/she cannot take the examination. This may impose a sense of responsibility to pay for his/her education but, doesnโ€™t violates the students right for education?

Some students are getting pulled out on their own classes because of such policy, imagine getting ready for school, the hard work study nights you endure, and the busy traffic lights you conquer. All of a sudden you are getting drag out of the class because of your unpaid fees, the dignity, the embarrassment you put onto every students who wants to dream, to grow and to make the future a better place. Vanished in an instant. Is this what you called education? I think this is what we called vitriol.

According to RA 7722 or also known as the higher education act of 1994, implies that all students has the right to access quality education. Likewise, the CHED Memorandum Order No. 25, series of 2022, emphasizes prohibits schools from implementing โ€œNO PERMIT, NO EXAM POLICYโ€, this goes to show that no one has the right to deny education simply from financial struggle. The Department of Education (DepEd) also issued same guidelines for basic education. In short, the law is clear, the law is pure, the law is order.

Let us not forget that many Filipino families are living from paycheck to paycheck. Parents sacrifices everything, the happiness of their own, the desires they oath to own and the time they share from the hard work they bleed to own, just to let their children have the brightest future they deserve to own. Punishing them for not paying is like eating the words of Rizal that he states โ€œang kabataan ang pag asa ng bayanโ€. hindering students from taking the examination is like betraying the heroes who sacrifices their life for the betterment of this country.

At the end of the day, the measure of the school is not from the achievements they do. but also, how they emphasizes and nurtures those learners. Further more, violating the rights of every students is like stripping their integrity as a fellow filipino people. After all, education should never be treated as a privilege for those who can pay, but as a right for all who dream.
