Not that we were eeky about it, but to our surprise he lives in a major squatter's area, the narrow way was dirty, and the neighboring people though friendly, we're looking kinda like those seen on the news. Since he was running for candidacy, the people there knew where his house was. As we approach his house their were little stickers of his name and face on most of the walls and gates and doors.
We stopped at the red grilled door and saw his purple barong hanging on their wall inside and said to ourselves, this was the place.
It was a rundown. As we peeped through the opened door, we saw how poor our professor was. I, myself, knew that being a teacher didn't pay much but I never expected this kind of situation from a professor who's about to graduate from his doctorate degree.
Tsk..Tsk..Tsk.. I felt a pang of pity and sadness to this professional. We always laugh at him because he's this kind of professor who sells snacks to his students every break time and you can also pay it later if you don't have enough money. Just list it as debt. I never understood those times why this professor would do that...but now I know.
Real people living in real situations such as this.
Damn.

teaching is a noble profession indeed. pepwede namang lumipat xa ng work noon pa pero di nya ginawa. i admire him for his dedication coz teaching is not a well paying profession... =)
we are so blessed and sometimes we don't even realize it. guilty as charged. =)
tama nga ung sinabi ni keloyd kahapon. nakakaantig nga.
tama hindi talaga well paying ang teaching profession. at ngayon ko lang naintindihan ung part ng teacher namin sa elementary na nagbebenta ng kung kahit na ano sa amin. =)
...because teaching is a tankless job. nobody gets rich with it.
ive said this over a million of times. and yet im still stucked with this profession. hats off to your prof. he's one noble man.
