The financial burden of PRC’s last-minute board exam rescheduling is absolute cinema!
quick rant.
ang lala ng prc. bumiyahe ako from cavite to qc yesterday, only to get stranded on a bus because the traffic literally wasn’t moving due to the flooding. millions have supposedly been allocated for flood control, metro manila is the center of everything, and yet this long-standing problem still can’t be solved?
then i took the lrt. the line was insanely long and it took me almost an hour because there was literally only one teller. the queue was so long that people were lined up from the first floor all the way to the third-floor stairs. wtf.
i booked a place to stay because of the storm and because i didn’t want to deal with the commute on aug 19. guess what? it’s non-refundable and non-rebookable. i spent ₱6,000 for what? only for the exam to get rescheduled?
i mean, i understand that safety comes first. but luzon has been dealing with storms for weeks, and now you decide to reschedule the exam when it’s literally one day before the board exam?
myghad. you’re called the Professional Regulation Commission, but this whole situation feels so unprofessional.
do they not realize how much money, time, and effort examinees and their families put into this? do they seriously think everyone can just afford another accommodation booking? some people saved up for months just to cover the expenses. some had to take leave from work. some traveled from provinces just to be there on time.
and now we’re expected to deal with another booking, another trip, another set of expenses, and another round of preparation because of a decision announced at the last minute?
again, i understand that safety comes first. but there has to be better planning and communication than this.
wtf moment talaga. ₱6,000 down the drain, and i’m sure i’m not the only one dealing with unexpected expenses because of this rescheduling.
₱6,000 accommodation pa lang ‘yan. hindi pa kasama pagkain, pamasahe, booking fees, and everything else. not everyone can simply pull another few thousand pesos out of nowhere. for some of us, that money took months of saving and a lot of sacrifice.
wtf moment talaga.
