CMU reopens survey for proposed night college program

The City of Malabon University (CMU) has reopened its survey for the second batch of respondents today, May 28, for the proposed Night College Program.

This aims to gather more ideas and suggestions from Malabon community before the initiative officially rolls out.

The program seeks to make higher education more accessible, especially for working individuals, parents, and residents who are unable to attend regular day-time classes because of work and other responsibilities.

According to CMU, the Night College Program was proposed to address the realities that are faced by many students in Malabon who put their studies on hold to prioritize income and family needs.

With tuition fees and daily expenses continuing to rise due to the economic crisis, many young people and adults are being forced to choose work over school.

Among the programs currently being considered are Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Marketing Management, Bachelor of Public Administration, and Bachelor of Elementary Education.

The university is also studying flexible learning arrangements that may include evening classes, blended learning, and modular setups to better match the schedules of working students.

Through the proposed program, the university hopes to offer a second chance to those students who still want to finish a degree despite demanding schedules.

Residents are encouraged to share suggestions regarding class schedules, preferred subjects, and other ways as a means for the university to make learning more manageable and accessible.

ni Kassandra Mae Acol

Kung makikita ko ang batang ako,
tatapikin ko siya sa ulo at
guguluhin ito nang nakakaloko,
aayusing muli at ibabalik sa dati.

Ilalapit ang aking mukha sa kaniyang mukha,
titigan ko 'to nang matagal na parang walang bukas.

Ikakawit ko ang hibla ng kaniyang buhok sa kaniyang kanang tainga
at marahang hahawakan ang kaniyang pisnging basa.

Dahan-dahang ibubuka ang mga braso at marahang ibabaon ang kaniyang mukha sa aking dibdib upang patahanin,

Huhugasan ko ng malinis na tubig ang maliit na gasgas—
aalisin ang mga alikabok at dumi,
Hihipan ko ito habang nilalagyan ng gamot na panghilom,

Pagkatapos ay tatapalan ng malinis na bulak para turuan siyang hilumin ang kaniyang sarili sa tuwing siya'y masusugatang mag-isa—
masusugatan sa gitna ng pakikipaglaban sa mga problema.

Kukuwentuhan ko ito ng mga istoryang ako ang pinagmulan para sa kaniyang paglaki ay alam niya na ang dapat gawin,

Aalayan ko siya ng pitas na bulaklak sa tabi-tabi para sabihing "kakayanin mo ang lahat, magaling at matatag ka."
Dahil 'yan ang mga salitang nakaligtaan kong sambitin sa aking sarili.

Tatabihan ko siya hanggang sa dumapo ang dilim,
Kahit tumakbo ng walang humpay ang mga dahon at sumabay sa malakas na pag-ihip ng hangin.

At kapag pumatak na ang ulan—
Umuwi siya nang basang-basa,
Siya'y aking isisilong sa aking pang-unawa dahil naglaro siya sa gitna ng ulan.

Tatapikin ko pa ang kaniyang balikat at ikukulong sa yakap dahil nagawa niyang maging masaya sa ilalim ng nagagalit na ulap.

At sa tuwing sasapit ang gabi,
Ipapatong ko naman ang kaniyang maliit na ulo sa aking braso habang nakatingala sa langit na puno ng bituin—

Sasambitin ang mga katagang "ganiyan kita kamahal, kasing dami ng mga bituin sa langit."

Kaya kung makikita ko ang batang ako,
Siguradong sasabayan ko itong humakbang,

Hahayaang kumapit sa aking mga kamay,
Sasamahan hanggang sa kayanin niya na ang reyalidad ng buhay.
