CJ Cansino Leaving the UST Growling Tigers

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The UST Growling Tigers and Season 82 team captain CJ Cansino have agreed to part ways.

Cj Cansino, a former UAAP Juniors MVP, super rookie, double-double machine, triple-double player, monster rebounder and scorer. Surely, he's gonna be a gem for his next team.

Once seen as a future cornerstone of the Tigers side, Cansino has decided to leave the school.

A proper explanation is yet to be given about those personal reasons, but what is certain is that the 6-foot-2, 20-year-old guard is said to be hopeful about continuing his career in the UAAP.

CJ Cansino leaving UST is very 2020. UST Tigers will never be the same without him.

His next destination is unknown as of the moment. I guess he couldn't handle playing 4th fiddle behind Abando, Nonoy and Chabi Yo.

Going UP? For "academic reasons" because he needs to have a career after basketball and through UP he can achieve it. But the downside is his minutes and role in the team.

They are loaded as well. Dami ng recruited guards. Siguro sa UAAP or NCAA na mabibigyan sya ng opportunities as main or second guy.

Sabagay, me Abadiano na. Maganda sana kung mapunta siya sa ibang team na hindi masyado napapansin ngayon.

Will he sacrifice his minutes to win the UAAP Men's Basketball Title. UP is in win now mode because of the quality of players that they have. All they need is to replace the coach just as I've said a couple of times in the last UAAP season.

NU - He will be the face of the team, the offense will run through him, depending on who will be their next head coach. He has no competition unlike in UST. But the pressure is on him, can he lead that team to a final 4 berth in his last 2 playing seasons in UAAP.

Letran - he wants to go to a school that has the same feeling as to UST because they are sister schools. The Letran crowd is also same to the UST crowd, they are die hard fans. He will still have his UST fans supporting him.

SMC connection because he might play on a SMC team in the PBA after he finishes his Collegiate career.

DLSU - it might be a long shot but who knows. The team is also in a win now situation and will maximize the 2 remaining years of Cansino's eligibility.

All I know is this will be a hard decision for @cjcansino, he loves the Thomasian Community and vice versa. I hope him for the best in his next move as a player.

I also wish that the current UST coach didn't make a huge mistake by letting him leave the team.

Can you still remember when Ricci Rivero left DLSU and now CJ Cansino will be leaving UST. Can you imagine what will Brent Paraiso feel after CJ Cansino and Ricci Rivero left him?

I know CJ Cansino’s departure is heartbreaking but please don’t drag other Tigers down. I was watching Brent since his DLSU days, he didn’t have much playing time back then since La Salle is loaded with A LOT of talented players(Ricci, Ben, Aljun, J. TENG, etc).

#NinoyIsNotAHero Trends on Twitter the Night Before August 21

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Growing up, we're always taught that Ninoy is the hero & Marcos is the villain. History books should be unbiased & must be rewritten. Teachers should be neutral, present only the facts & not influence the students whom to stand for. "

A staunch critic of the Marcos dictatorship, former Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. was assassinated on Aug. 21, 1983.

Today, we remember Ninoy Aquino.

But more than this, today, we remember that Ferdinand Marcos was a tyrant, plunderer and murderer—and no amount of revisionism can change this.

Yes, Ninoy was imperfect, but his death  galvanized people into toppling Marcos’ kleptocratic rule.

#NinoyIsNotAHero is an inorganic trend activated by a few accounts yesterday and is now a top trend right in the middle of the night.

The first accounts that started posting it -- see anything in common?

You are free to evaluate the man's legacy however you choose of course; my point is to be critical of trends, these are the same mechanisms that will be used to determine the next elections.

#NinoyIsNotAHero is trending because the poon of the DDS is a Marcos fan. Mahilig sa EJK, magtago ng yaman, at  DIKTADOR.

Kahit anong pa-trend niyo diyan sa #NinoyIsNotAHero, MARCOS WILL NEVER BE A HERO, not TODAY, not TOMORROW, not FOREVER! He will be remembered as the Dictator who was thrown out of Power!

Accept the facts, idiots! You've been enjoying freedom of speech today NOT because of Marcos but because of PEOPLE POWER triggered by Ninoy's death.

"Just wanna remind everyone that despite all the syndicated propaganda, the basic element of extracting the truth out of something is to claw it down to its grassroots."

Tigilan ninyo yung ganito, please! Imagine younger generations na nabrabrain wash dahil sa pag iisip ninyo.

The IRONY with Ninoy Holiday is that the opposition⁠—reds, yellows, church groups, their "disente" allies⁠—have bastardized the said day by DIVIDING, instead of UNITING, Filipinos to revive the obsolete political sentiment they once enjoyed because of EDSA86.

Bakit ba kasi ginagawang hero mga politicians. Everyone should know politicians aren't that great nor trustworthy.

I actually agree with this #NinoyIsNotAHero but it's amusing that most accounts tweeting about it are Marcos apologists/Duterte supporters.

As Marcos LOYALists would say, but the love for power and money can make people evil and evil people are dictated by SATAN who's evil and the father of LIES. It's Marcos who held on to his power for many years. Everything that they say against Ninoy is a lie.

Hay nako, when you support a madman like Marcos/Duterte, you lose all credibility. Please stop.

Why Academic Freeze, Just Open Your MacBook Pro and Study!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Guys, bakit mag aacademic freeze? Hays can't you just, like you know, open your macbook pros and like study? It’s so simple lang naman eh, plus it’s super dali na rin when you pair your ipad pro sa mac using sidecar, then you just have to tell yaya to cook you food in bed and open the AI."

Before, I just wanted a MacBook Pro, like the one the rich kid got for his online class, but dad also bought me an ultra wide curved LED screen. I wanted a rotating office chair, too, like what he has, but dad bought me an automatic reclining chair with a touchscreen console.

Just wanna tell everyone that the previous statements were a joke based on a confession posted on DLSU FW!

Ang daming *reeks, privilege* post sa DLSU FW!

Pashare nmn ng funds para sa electric bill na aricon 24/7, MacBook Pro Air, iPad Pro, taga-luto, and malakas ng wifi.

On a serious note, DepEd and CHED should recognize that online learning only accentuates classism in education.

Classism is prejudice against or in favor of people belonging to a particular social class.
Unless everyone is well-fed, has the basic resources to comply to their requirements, and is not risking exposure to the virus, pushing school opening during this pandemic is a disservice to their constituents.

Academic freeze is for students who can't afford laptop and/or internet services for online classes; also considering the increasing number of covid cases, face to face classes are not ideal. Printed modules? Yet DepEd expects parents to go to the school to pick them up. Hello, the virus is still out there. You want parents to risk going out and get infected, and then infect their families when they get home? It's not that we don't want to our kids to study, it's the circumstance.

Why can't these people understand that the best thing to do now is to freeze the academic year?! We are not asking you to freeze it because we're lazy. We are asking because it's ineffective, there are lots of factors to consider, teachers are also having a hard time, not just us.

Your reason of not freezing is because education should not be stopped? Don't you realize ineffective is as good as nothing.

Even modular for lower years is not effective especially in rural areas, it's just burdening the parents. What if their parents don't know how to read and write? Then what?

You're doing this for the youth? For their future? Then, why are you not hearing our pleas? We are the ones having a hard time, not you. You don't get to decide for us.
