but how bout our money??

unless the school pays me back...i wont go.....

shii21 I think you can reimburse it... personal ka ba or from the school?

momoberry you paid personally diba? I think it's possible to reimburse it from your agency or the airport

the risk is too big to go out now... As bad as it sounds, the school is taking little precautions..

I still think they should stop our classes for a while too though.. UST and FEU's start of classes were moved already cause of this...

even so...i paid on my own...and it's not easy to back out on the flights and such...

jrjs: sa labas din ako e.. direct sa singapore taz PAL..

momoberry: i AGREE!!

momoberry it's better than not getting it back.. it was the risk you guys took for paying outside...

but if CSB isn't returning the money of those who paid.. then that's wrong na...

as in paid the school...

I don't mean to be harsh ok.. I'm just saying CSB can't be blamed for it, they have to worry about the students and the staff as well

well it's not that we're angry about

the fact that csb's 2 statements are contradicting

bro vic says anyone who undergoes self quarantine for 10 days is excused from classes

and now they (sda people) say na hindi considered un.....so who are we to believe

most of us are not worried about the flu...in fact i have a cold right now...i dont think we are not irresponsible enough

to not take pre-cautionary actions....the school should learn to listen to us too.

momoberry: onga onga, lintek, ang gulo nila.

hmm.. bsta.. baliblitan nlng.. we just need to be more more more careful pra walang pasalubong na swine pgbalik

momoberry then... I think it's more appropriate if you guys talk to bro vic... diba?

yeah actually....but when do this people become available to talk to us anyway

well, yo ucan see brother walking around SDA form time to time, and I think they're approachable, if needed

I can ask bro Ceci about this issue

it's not that...it's the faculty din....they're just too unreasonable and they think rebooking everything is easy

sorry na po. isang beses lang dumating ang ganitong opurtunidad sa buhay ko at mahirap humagilap ng pera kung saan saan.

momoberry: true, ndi nmn kc maliit na pera ang mawawala eh... lintek na swine flue

*flu

momoberry I know i know.. If you guys really can't get excused or whatever I'll ask bro Ceci.. I know how hard it is to get money =|

jrjs: can u ask din about the PAL promo if pwd marefund..?? 5K mahigit din yon! hehe.. nakakalungkot...!

shii21 I think I can only ask bro ceci regarding blue forms things like that. I can't ask him to refund stuff that CSB didn't pay for..

it is a big hassle for me din, i'm forced to pay MORE for rebooking and rerouting my flight. And its like... we had to pay for something we

didnt really do

which is unfair

technodium you don't want to refund it nalang? I heard it's possible naman e

^ actually...yes....and besides...Singapore is almost clear from the virus...we dont get the money back 100% and if we do refund it...

there are still surcharges..

jrjs: i don't think that the airline would be refunding it. Its in their contract eh. If ever they'll be refunding, only the 1/4 payment

sayang din yun, that's hard earned money, para lang kaming nagtapon ng pera kung ganon, diba? its okay if they're going to refund EVERYTHING

i agree with paul.....we still lose whatever the case is....and to think hard earned cash was invested in this.,..

and the fact that some of us had to invest some of our allowances (like me) to be able to get in this trip

if we ddnt want it so much...we wouldnt complain about it in the first place...

momoberry still why hassel yourselves with school stuff, why not just refund it, it's better than completely losing all that cash

coz some of us got promo tickets.....which means non-refundable....

dude, I'm not being harsh, but things aren't really as simple as you may think. The school has been really crappy in the way it handled this

crappy organizing, and now crappy cancelling. EVERYONE is having a hard time, and the fact that they're not giving any answers doesn't help

They encouraged us to book outside if we want cheaper rates. Heck only 10 people booked with the school.

Fine for those people, but what about the hundreds that didn't?

AH1N1 precautionary hooplah is understandable, but the way they're treating the students now is unacceptable

i actually agree with Dino here, to think that nagagalit sila that we dont give what they want on time

now that they do this, they wont even give us a simple answer regarding our queries and questions, now who says its unfair? i do, very much

they just send a letter which even discourages students to go to singapore... tsk

so even if we are threatened by the flu, we would still want to go just have that feeling that everything was worth it in the end

because we were not treated properly whenever we had inquiries plus the whole organizing of the event for csb was plain bullshit

plus this is something most of us wanted and to leave us hanging without an answer to our simple questions....is plain unacceptable

now that I realized it, it boils down to one point: we are getting mad becoz csb iz teh stupidzzzz hahahaha

yes paul...that is really the main point and we cannot stop ourselves from blaming the school

momoberry I know what you mean pero it can't be helped na nga

shinyu I know I know it's sad nga, pero well from the e-mail from sir Pepe they're trying to help you guys get refunds...

and it's not the schools fault swine flu is here... I don't mean to sound selfish here pero think about the other thousands of students in

CSB, if you guys get infected you guys will be the cause of the infection in the school... if ever, and the school is trying to aoid that

*avoid... the way they did it is wrong... that you guys aren't excused but that's their sollution, we can't do anything about it...

right now, they're thinking of the other thousands of students and I think it's valid din... I'll try to help by asking brother ceci

but you guys can't blame the school.. blame swine flu...

technodium I understand, but I don't mean to sound harsh, you guys have to think about the thousands not going din to singapore..

not to mention we're beside st scho pa and DLSU, not that they're already infected or quarantined

momoberry you guys have to relax din a bit.... this kasi they have to plan din... and sir Pepe sent an e mail just now

they're trying to help you guys din naman, but from you guys din you know how hard it is to refund your ticket, imagine the school..

we wont give a damn to other people who did not give a damn about us in the first place.

we want our money back, and yes, we are blaming the school for not giving us an answer about the 10-day quarantine that we are all willing

to go through....

the fact the faculty is censoring all our questions in the yahoogroup is solid proof that csb is covering up something

we're not all rich people who can cover up other people's hasty decisions. get the facts straight.

momoberry hay... nevermind I won't argue anymore, I'm just making a point.. I don't to say this but the way you are acting is kind of being

if they have the guts to suspend the trip...why not suspend our classes.

selfish with the way you reply... a lot of us also want to go to singapore at least you guys afforded it to begin with

by chance you guys were bad luck.. that's all

it's not bad luck. if you knew how the preparations were...how many people had to put up with the bitchyness of the organizers....

and don't assume everyone is rich din... cause not everyone is... there's no possible way to tell who has scholarships or not...

it's not selfish because we lost something here.

so yeah... I won't reply here anymore, reply all you want..

haaay. this isn't some glory trip to SG. we were told it's a meaningful school event, and that's why we were allowed to go

and im saying im not asumming everyone's rich....coz i myself could not even afford this trip without begging my parents

and bargaining with them

no ryan, coz you think you understand the situation.

not all of us asked money for it like it was a joke. christ, fuck everyone who might get infected

are you saying we're too stupid and ignorant not to think of others, and make responsible steps for ours and everyone else's protection?

that's why the unexcused quarantine the fatass is implying is wrong, we're already taking responsibility to safeguard the environment

do you think we're going to SG just to be carriers of some virus and come back to spread hell? christ

i respect your opinion but don't go acting as if we're totally wrong and you know the situation. we're victims here.

especially since you aren't even part of most of us who had to go through so much to even have this chance to go to SG

sir, in ryan's defense, you *may* not be going to singapore just to get swine flu, but it *is* a risk that you contract it unintentionally.

other than that i have no problem with what you're standing for.

Romes: yeah. we know that. some of us won't take the risk, some might still, but at least they're responsible enough and know what to do
