SARAH RAYMUNDO is an Assistant Professor from the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman's Department of Sociology, College of Social Sciences and Philosophy. She's been teaching in UP for ten years. She has met, and even exceeded, the minimum requirements for tenure. Why then, after a year since she applied for tenure, is Prof. Raymundo being denied permanent status in the university?

Sarah is the Secretary-General of the Congress of Teachers/Educators for Nationalism and Democracy (CONTEND), Treasurer of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) National Council, and an active member of the All UP Academic Employees Union (AUPAEU).

"Parochialism" by Ernesto V. Enrique

I don't know the background of the issue and I don't care to know. Give credit where it is due. 'Activists' are a dime a dozen in that department. In fact, the 'elders' are still there. So how come they undermine the activism of Sarah and make an issue out of it? Tsk-tsk, I think parochialism is working again. Plain and simple. No wonder the university is regressing. UP should stand for University of Parochialism! Ang Galing-galing Mo!
