St. Theresa’s College sued!

[brian joshua]

Well, one is a daughter of a physician; she most likely be taking up a course in the medical field, so she won't be enrolling in any sectarian colleges in the future.

true that. but the thing is, this type of activity is supposed to be done by people in the legal age.
stc, by and large, is taking its claim for their reputation. the sisters from within may have their own
grudge against the families but we cant do anything about that.

it must be the girls' parents to make a move about their misbehaving daughters. it may sound like
easy but it's not, really. even if he's a physician, even if she will take up medical course not too long
from now, it wont be the same again.

mao jud bro.

However, on STC's part, the TRO would be enough to destroy the very reason why this issue is here in the first place - which is NOT allowing the girls to join the graduation ceremonies.

Ang mga madre wala ni tuman sa TRO gi hatag nila, so unsa-on man sad pag pa tuo sa mga tinun-an ana nila kung sila mismo nag pa ugat sad.

makatimbang timbang na pud tingali ang mga tinun-an bro kung ngano na ingon ana karon ang sitwasyon. Kinsay nagsugod aning gubuta, kung dili lang pasaway ang mga students, dili ma ingon ani. I think the school is in dilemma kay if tumanon nila ang TRO, unsa naman lang respeto sa mga students sa ilang balaod? Kung dili pud tumanon, maka ingon pud sama sa imong point gi raise. Now, I think ang gibuhat sa mga madre is to do what they think is right. At least they stand up for what they think is right.

I can't find an online link, but published today in CDN's Mao Ba? was the girl's father's point of view on the photos.

"I booked two rooms in a plush Mactan beach resort for her 16th birthday party," he said. "I allow her to drink and maybe try smoking," he said. "Let them be teenagers," he said.

God, when I was 16, all I did was play games and study. My parents would yell at my non-sectarian ass to death if they found out I drank and smoked.

That's one hell of a dad.

EDIT:



Dad shocked by penalty, not photos

Photos of his daughter in a bikini don't shock her father.
He said he remembers the exact occasion – her recent 16th birthday in a plush Mactan beach resort, where he booked two rooms for her to enjoy the day with friends.
Even some teachers were invited there, he told Cebu Daily News.
He said he allows his daughter to ‘drink a little’ or even try smoking.
“These things are part of high school life. At that age you are very curious,” he said.

too much talk about "freedom" to do this and that....lets talk about responsibility

both sides are at fault for turning such issue into disastrous proportions and for me "lewd" is such a misnomer unless the kid was naked or doing provocative pose. but as a parent, if that kid was my daughter (God forbid naa pud ko) i wouldn't tolerate such especially if minor pa. everything we do or choose to do have its consequences. if the school says that "bang" then why force the issue to make it right when it was really wrong on the first place?(personal opinion: nothing wrong with 2 piece swim suit for me but a MINOR with a cigarette or whatever contraband in their hands is another thing) as a parent dili sa gyud ko mo tolerate ug mo konsinte kung ingon ana sad binuhatan sa akong anak.

lucky for that kid she wasn't enrolled in a different kind of religious school where there are more very strict rules.

Balili said if the court rules in favor of the petitioners, they will comply with the decision and allow the students to join the graduation ceremony on Friday.

“Well, if the petition is granted we have no choice but to follow, we are law-biding citizens. St. Theresa produces law-abiding citizens,” he said.

law abiding daw sila, comply with the decision they say... wala man lagi ghapon gpa marcha tsk tsk. this is going to be a circus, what could be the consequences on non complying on the court order? im so excited!

[estor_boot]

STC's defiance to the TRO means they are prepared for a long legal battle. so good luck to both parties.

I know, right?

I feel bad about the kids not being able to graduate and all, but the issue has gone way overboard. Both parties have ideals to protect, and I can't wait to hear what STC has to say about this.
