Bill - Hon. Jezaline Clemente
Republic of the Philippines
Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Youth Congress
Sta. Mesa, Manila
First Regular Session
House Bill No. ______
Introduced by: Hon. JEZALINE CLEMENTE
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill primary seeks to help the students in Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) from being discriminated by some prominent Universities here in the Philippines. It is a fact that yearly, Fifteen (15) thousand newly graduates from PUP faces different kinds of problems in finding their appropriate jobs and for some, once the employer knew that you came from PUP, automatically your resume will be set aside without any concrete reasons. Thus it manifest that the dominance of empowered Universities prevails over PUP. And the aftermath is for the PUP to remain stagnant and up to present still experiencing a hard time changing their bad image to a better one.
With the help of this bill, the PUPians would be able to uplift their personality and establish their own novel identity. Through the learning that they might gain in the Cooperative Subject Program will surely make each PUPians “A Captain of their Fate and A Master of their Soul.”
So that those who gained knowledge through this subject can established their own venture despite for some students they find it so irrelevant to their course still they have no any assurance that once they’ve graduated they can easily fund a job that suits their field.
Whereas in this bill it will motivate the PUPians to be business-minded at their early age, so that once they leave the four corners of the University they are more confident to face the challenges of today, the problems of tomorrow and its repercussion in the future.
This bill also helps in alleviating poverty and lessening the unstoppable growth of unemployment rate here in the Philippines. Thus, the inspired PUPians will serve as the root or starting point especially those who had a hard time finding their personal legends. I am picturing here successful cooperatives in the near future.
A group of people not just an ordinary employee but also the master of their own establishment. The Cooperative Subject Program would be the stepping stone to reach such goals by gaining the knowledge and learning techniques of cooperatives.
Ergo, it follows the transforming of image of PUP into a well established university.
To realize this, I urge my constituents in the chamber to immediately pass this bill.
