I'm Free from AMA Education System

It was mid August when I heard the news of new policies to be implemented in the educational system of AMA. I was disheartened to know that the teachers will handle a new loading scheme.. Imagine that each teacher is required to teach 30 units of subjects per week? It is an overkill for the teachers, and I don't want to teach half-baked lessons. So, I have decided to quit my job as a teacher, I'll just finish my contract. But on August 30, 2004, the administration has announced that all teachers are terminated, we could not renew our contracts anymore. The school director admitted that the company could not afford to pay us anymore. The company will hire new teachers with lower salary. tsk.. tsk.. tsk.. These are some reasons why the quality of education in the Philippines is deteriorating. But it was a good experience staying in AMA, because of the of the big workloads that are given to us with minimal salary, it has thought me to be more resourceful and efficient in different ways..

Anyways, I'll miss my students, friends, barkada..

Ernesto "Che" Guevara QUOTES


If you tremble indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.

Silence is argument carried out by other means.

Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.

I know you've come to kill me. Shoot, coward, you're only going to kill a man.

The amount of poverty and suffering required for the emergence of a Rockefeller, and the amount of depravity that the accumulation of a fortune of such magnitude entails, are left out of the picture, and it is not always possible to make the people in general see this.

There are no boundaries in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, for a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory; just as any country's defeat is a defeat for all of us.

Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

Where a government has come into power through some form of popular vote, fraudulent or not, and maintains at least an appearance of constitutional legality, the guerrilla outbreak cannot be promoted, since the possibilities of peaceful struggle have not yet been exhausted.
