Hehehehe ... I dont think naay picture na naka gawas or ni circulate other than mga copy sa administration otherwise hagbay ra unta na ni nakita diri . Kadaghang maayong laki diri sa forums about sourcing out pictures pero wala gyud . Instead they got the picture na kadtong girls na kinataw-anay while ang ga blue ga rinse s abuhok and ang rest nag duko laughing .

Of course it looks natural and wholesome and nothign is wrong because to start , from people who really knew these girls diay , they are not even Theresians , obviously di to mao ang picture . Ambot lang pod kinsa nagpasi-ugda ato and probably the reason ngano daghan nasuko sa STC because everyone thought na mao to ang pic na gibasehan about being LEWD which is di man to mao .

@ SUPERSTAR ... unless the pic you have is not the one I am talking about , i PM sa akoa ang link wahahahaha !!! Bitaw I doubt if mao na .

As what I've posted few pages back, FAKE to nga picture gi post sa usa ka blog site as I've seen that picture from another site dated Sept. 2011 and nahitabo ang birthday party January this year lang where makit-an to ang supposedly lewd photos.

have been backreading, and guess what? daghan gihapon ang wala ka kita sa other side of the coin. You are still using on debates that the source of barring the students from the graduation rites is inhuman.

Yes, daghan ta mga ginikanan diri, lain lain ta ug pamaagi sa pag discipline sa bata, but still STC had its own laws to implement. If dili sila mo stand sa ila laws, how can they input their students on how to stands on the mission and vission of the school, on how to determine which is moral and immoral..

Though if you could back read on my post, I go against the STC, but after reading and hearing the other side of the coin, then I could say the institution just done its part as a second parents of the students..

Schools as Facebook patrol | Inquirer Opinion

Schools as Facebook patrol

It’s less about whether to be libertines or prudes, or how lenient and how severe. That will merely drag us into the amorphous debate on obscenity, and lead us to say, “I know it when I see it,” in the famous words of US Justice Potter Stewart. Rather, it’s about who gets to make the call, and whether we can carve out spheres in our lives where we can be free to be ourselves without having to worry about prying eyes.

...

...

One, concededly, the school has the power to adopt its own institutional mission. If St. Theresa’s says that its goal is to advance the moral formation of its wards in strict Catholic tradition, it will be acting within its own academic freedom. We can split hairs here—the Constitution guarantees academic freedom only to “institutions of higher learning,” which means colleges and universities, and not high schools. But I don’t see how that distinction matters here. Any school worth its license to operate should be respected in its school mission.

Also, the parents accept that mission when they enroll their children and entrust them to the school. The school’s mission is therefore binding upon the parents in two ways: legislatively, as rules adopted by the school, and contractually, as an agreement to which the parents consent on registration day.

...

Two, however, under the Family Code, the school exercises “special parental authority” only during school activities. The mother says that the bikini shot was taken at a “family or private social activity [that] does not involve the school’s supervision and control” and “was not connected with the school curriculum.” The school cannot install itself as moral watchdog over a student’s entire life.

Three, the school actually intruded into the student’s privacy. The photograph was apparently posted on the girl’s Facebook account whose privacy settings allowed access only to her friends. The school officials were not her Facebook friends, and were kibitzers into the child’s zone of privacy. Indeed, if indeed the girl’s privacy settings gave access only to her friends, the girl’s Facebook posts are technically hearsay vis-à-vis the school officials because they were not privy to her posts.

Of the three arguments, the third is most empowering. In the first two, the high school student is merely the passive object as two powers, the school vis-à-vis the parent, collide over the power to run her life. In the third, she is the active subject, able to express herself among her friends, able to pick and choose who those friends are, and yes, able to choose how she wants to dress during her friend’s birthday party.

Finally, it is not fatal to the mother’s case that apparently she had earlier taken part in the disciplinary case. The school’s legal counsel insists that due process was observed because the “parents were present when the child signed the probation.” Is counsel saying that fundamental rights can be waived? Not everything can be bargained away by contract. Can a Muslim student be forced to bargain away his religion in exchange for enrolling in a Catholic school? Come on. This silly argument must be put to rest once and for all.

Last weekend, I visited a church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I used to hear Mass the last time I taught there. I saw these words on the Sunday missal: “No matter what your present status in the Catholic Church; No matter what your current … marital situation; No matter what your personal history, age, background, race, etc.; No matter what your own self-image; You are invited, welcomed, accepted, loved and respected here at St. Peter Parish.” Given the unnecessary ruckus over the innocuous Facebook photograph, will we live to see the day when the Filipino Catholic can be as open and as welcoming? Is the Filipino Catholic capable of being truly catholic?
