A video shared online by Rasiya EB has caught the attention of many netizens after she expressed frustration over not being allowed to take her exam despite arriving only a few minutes late.
According to Rasiya, she had traveled to Koronadal and was scheduled to take the exam at a testing venue identified as Marvel 1 Testing Venue. However, things did not go as planned when she arrived slightly past the required time.
In the video, she emotionally explained what happened, saying:
“Nandito ako sa Koronadal sa Marvel 1. Hindi po nila ako pina-exam. Na-late lang ng 4 minutes kasi pinrint ko pa 'yung NOA ko na bago. Tapos hindi na po nila ako pinapasok.”
Rasiya clarified that she had to step out briefly to print a new copy of her Notice of Admission (NOA) because the copy she initially presented was from the previous year. While showing both documents to the camera, she said:
“Eto 'yung NOA na pinakita ko doon, 2025 pa ito. Tapos ito yung 2026 na NOA ko.”
She further explained that she was already listed in the room assignment and even had a designated seat number prepared for her. Despite this, she claimed the exam personnel required her to present a newly printed NOA before she could enter the testing room. Unfortunately, the short time it took for her to print the updated document caused her to return four minutes late.
Rasiya expressed disappointment, emphasizing that everything about her exam slot was already confirmed from her name on the list to her assigned seat.
“May pangalan naman na ako sa room, may upuan na, may seat number na lahat lahat meron na. Pero hinanapan nila ako ng bagong print na NOA,” she said.
She also shared that she pleaded with the staff to let her take the exam, explaining her situation, but the rules were strictly enforced.
“Kahit anong pagmamakaawa ko hindi na talaga nila ako pinapasok.”
The video quickly circulated online, sparking mixed reactions from viewers. Some netizens sympathized with Rasiya, saying that being late by only a few minutes due to a document requirement could have been considered. Others, however, pointed out that examination rules are usually strict to maintain fairness and organization for all examinees.
The incident has since opened discussions online about exam protocols, preparation, and how strict policies can sometimes lead to difficult situations for examinees who have already gone through the effort of traveling and preparing for such important tests.
