TUITION FEE of the University for this academic year increased by 2.5 percent, with a price of P1,280.33 per unit, after meetings of the administration with deans and student leaders.

Originally meant to be 5 percent, the increase this year was lower than the 3.5 percent of academic year 2012-2013, and 3 percent of academic year 2011-2012.

TomasinoWeb requested a statement coming from the Office of the Vice Rector for Finance, but the office has yet to answer.

The following are the thoughts of students regarding the said increase:

@TomasinoWeb As long as the 2.5% increase can be felt by the students through better service and facilities, it’s fine with me. #TalkonTW

@TomasinoWeb It’s never been fair for the students.Life keeps getting harder financially as they keep loading us with an unbearable increase

“@TomasinoWeb: Are you in favor for the 2.5% tuition fee increase? SHOUT OUT! THOMASIANS #TalkonTW” -NO!!! Grabe naman.

@TomasinoWeb Are you in favor for the 2.5% tuition fee increase?- Well, nope not really but i guess it’s inevitable. #TalkonTW

@TomasinoWeb #TalkonTW 2.5% increase in tuition fee is alright as long as they do something beneficial with that increase.

#TalkonTW: Manila bus ban [UPDATED]

NOONG ika-23 ng Hulyo ay pormal na ipinatupad ng lokal na pamahalaan ng Maynila ang isang bagong ordinansa na nagbabawal sa mga bus na walang sariling prangkisa o sariling terminal na dumaan sa nasabing siyudad.

Manila Bus Ban, ito ang sagot ng bagong luklok na alkalde ng Maynila, na si Joseph Ejercito Estrada, at ng kanyang bise akalde, na si Isko Moreno, sa lumalalang sitwasyon ng trapiko sa kanilang nasasakupan.

Nagkagulo at nabigla ang mga commuters sa unang araw ng pagpapatupad ng batas na ito. Umulan naman ng protesta mula sa mga tsuper at may-ari ng mga bus na dumadaan sa Maynila mula sa mga karatig-siyudad tulad ng San Juan, Quezon City at Makati City.

Hindi natinag si Erap at Isko. Sa halip, nakipagdiyalogo sila sa mga tsuper, may-ari ng mga bus at iba pang sektor na direktang apektado ng bagong batas. Sa pagpupulong noong ika-8 ng Agosto sa Manila City Hall, napagkasunduan ng parehong panig na ipatupad ang bago at pinagbuting bersyon ng ordinansa.

Sa kasalukuyan ay unti-unti nang naisaayos ang kalituhang idinulot ng bus ban sa mga mananakay, tsuper at may-ari ng mga bus.

Ano kaya ang masasabi ng mga Tomasino sa bagong patakarang ito?

Pero promise ang linis tingnan ng Lawton nung nawala ang mga bus. @TomasinoWeb #TalkonTW

Instead of the bus ban, why not the local gov’t focus on removing the illegal bus terminals that cause the traffic. @TomasinoWeb #TalkonTW

half ako dyan.nabawasan nga ang traffic pero super hirap maksakay!alam naman nila na napakadaming students around Espanya-Morayta! #TalkonTW

@TomasinoWeb They addressed the problem on buses. How about the jeepneys, especially in Quiapo? #TalkonTW

Sana naisip muna nila yung mga bumabyaheng malayo. Imbes na isang sakayan lang, mas napapalyo pa dahil sa bus ban. Hayyyy! #TalkonTW

@TomasinoWeb Di ako sang ayon sa bus ban sa Manila. Kahapon, di ko alam kung saan dumadaan yung mga bus pauwi ng Cavite.Di na ako nakauwi 🙁

@TomasinoWeb kung may mga disiplina at ndi kaskasero ung mga bus driver at hindi nila gngwang parking lot ang maynila. Sguro walang bus ban

@TomasinoWeb Dapat kasi may advisory bago pinatupad. Hindi nangugulat. Kung ipinaalam lang nila ng maayos, walang problema, handa tayo.
