Angelo E. Miranda
Are you willing to break the silence? The silence that locked up the truth within the corners of your mind? Are you willing to sacrifice your job and career in order to eradicate discrimination and unlawful impositions upon those who have no full comprehension of the Labor Code or Manual of Operations for Private Higher Education Institutions? Are you willing to give your love and life to all those who are in need of protection without inhibitions and/or pretense? Or, would you rather stay neutral and watch your co-workers being manipulated and dominated because they haven’t a choice? Of course, most of you don’t. It is not your life that is affected. You don’t care. It’s a fact.
We all have fear in our hearts. We are strangled by the rules and regulations of agencies that don’t even care if we live or die. We see others being mistreated and discriminated and most of us only turn our heads away because it is not us. We say, it is not our business. If we let imbeciles run an organization, can you not imagine the kind of leadership it will be having? It would be like being dictated and ordered around by twelve – year old kid who has no idea about what real management is.
It is quite dismaying and annoying to know the things are being reported as a “problem-free” when the very fact is that problems, a lot of them exist. Someone would report to the head that this and that is happening when in fact it has occurred hours earlier and have been taken care of. It is a drag. All sides of it, a drag. Most of us have done everything that we can for the organization, but what do we get? Somebody who has not done anything for the whole week is being recognized for something he/she did not do. Those individuals who are suffering with AIDS (As If Doing Something) or would you prefer a few who are sick with AIDS (Acquired Income Deficiency Syndrome) or those who are always trying to impress the head or any of the top officers whenever they are around.
There are instances wherein letters addressed to the president are being sidetracked because of decisions or reasons wherein self-interest comes in ; and the development in knowledge and skills of some employees are sacrificed, a certain loss in the part of the organization due to concepts that are created by leaders who are legends in their own minds. They want to impress the president every time that he is around. So they do everything even if they step on the toes of their colleagues. They don’t care as long as they make an impression that they are very enthusiastic and are working very hard. They report this and that. Blah-blah-blah-blah! Fact is; they are just ass-kissing.
It is really disheartening to know the truth about some individuals in this organization. I hate this ability to see what lies beneath the skin of my fellow workers. It makes me want to hang my head and cry. I am me, however, and this is going to be a long one.

It is understandable, though. They are doing what they think seem favorable for them while on the other hand, they are making enemies out of their own colleagues. When they in their offices, they look and feel like they can do everything without the assistance of colleagues, in fact, there is one who feels like he/she owns the organization. Well, I say. They are legends in their own frigging minds. Watch them scampering around when the big guy is around. Are we in the movies? Who in this organization are they kidding with their actions? They are so transparent. Working in this institution is not an illusion. It is a reality that can cause you to lose your belief in honesty, trust and all those virtues that we are to instill in students’ minds. Who do you think can be trusted? Who do you think is really on your side? Would you prefer playing the game alone? Are you psychic-vampire?
“Everything is alright”, the statement usually replied by some when asked by the head of this institution. Why can we not tell our dear president the truth? Are we afraid to be reprimanded? Are we concerned with our status in this organization? Can we not be as one and in harmony with the rest of co-workers? The conflicts exist not because of us but because of a few who are insisting they know more than the rest. Why can we not just accept the truth that we all have limits when it comes to the differences in our skills and abilities? There is really no need to brag that one is better than the most. Or, somebody is special because he knows this and that. Maybe, he does bit it doesn’t mean he knows everything and that he can do everything. That’s claptrap!
Sometimes it is better to leave things that are going on alone. But, the nagging deep inside our hearts and minds cannot be shut-off. Reverberating, “You could have done something”. Well. We really have to do something about this. There are individuals in this organization that are hiding behind the mask of being powerful and a leading authority when in fact he/she is actually lost in his/her own degenerate self-appreciating illusionary proclamation of being someone; An individual just like us but very unlikely in terms of being a professional and a human being. The mirror is free, if you know what I mean.
I am breaking my silence because I feel that something is going on. This is my alma mater and every time I hear negative stories about it, within or outside the campus, it hurts like hell.
Sometimes, I wonder why in the first place I was drawn into the organization. Is this fate and destiny? What is my role in the years to come? I did not come here to become rich? I volunteered myself to work for this institution because I want to instill into the minds of the students the truth of where they are going. That really is not sleeping and temptation is right there beside each one of us and just waiting to draw us into its lair.
Up to now, I am telling students of what really is out there in the wilderness. The future can only be certain if we create it by ourselves and not because of the dictates of foreign regulations that are choking our very own economy.
Our school is a mini society. Its operations are linked with what is going on outside the four corners of this institution.
Correct me if I am wrong, one officer of this prestigious institution once said in a seminar about values integrated in the workplace that we must take off our masks and show our real selves. And unfortunately, there are those who are becoming like this individual.
I am sad. It is the truth. I love my Alma Mater. This is my second home. What do you want me to do? Just watch them do their thing? Gee, Do I look like a pizza?
