Identity crisis in our universities

[Bogeyman]

Our prevailing culture is--- to get ahead, all u need is lakas ng loob, good looks, and diskarte.

Just as bad is when people resort to nepotism to get ahead. Aasa sa kamag-anak, kaibigan, kakilala para lang makapasok sa trabaho. Dadaanin sa palakasan.

Two months ago an elderly guy came to the office with a teenaged boy, and they were looking for our VP. Turns out that the old man is the VP's brother, and he was hoping to get his son a job with the help of dear old 'uncle'. Matagal na pala silang pinagtataguan ng VP namin, because he hates handing out favors, especially to kin. And he doesn't want to give the impression that he can easily employ his relatives just because of his position.
