Ateneo, De La Salle and UP – why the college you choose matters – Part 3

 

UP, Ateneo, La Salle grads hired faster, paid more

by Jojo Malig, ABS-CBNNews.com

MANILA, Philippines – Graduates of the top 3 educational institutions in the Philippines are hired faster and paid more by employers, according to the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB).

The NSCB, in a new report citing a Graduate Tracer Study made by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), said graduates of the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, and De La Salle University have a significant head start in their careers compared to graduates of other colleges and universities nationwide.

Of the “Big 3,” UP graduates were the fastest to find work but were paid a smaller starting salary compared to Ateneo or La Salle graduates.

UP graduates only waited an average of 1.8 month to find work and had a mean income per month of a little over P9,700.

De La Salle graduates actively looked for a job for an average of 2.4 months but got a mean income per month of almost P11,900.

Ateneo graduates, meanwhile, spend an average of 2.9 months looking for work and had a mean income per month of around P 10,100.

In comparison, graduates of other private sectarian universities spent almost 4 months looking for work and got a mean oncome of P8,388.

Graduates of private non-sectarian schools, meanwhile, spent 4.4 months looking for work and had a mean income of just 8,202.

Meanwhile, graduates of local colleges and universities, other state unuversities, and non-profit educational institutions spent as much as an average of 6 months looking for work and were paid far less than graduates of the “Big 3″ schools.

NSCB Secretary General Jose Ramon Albert cited the 1999 CHED data in his report released Friday on whether education is in sync with the country’s labor conditions and needs.

“The 1999 GTS suggests that graduates from the three premier HEIs in the country, namely, the University of the Philippines, De La Salle University, and Ateneo de Manila University, have triple plus points: lower waiting time to join the job market from the time of graduation; higher employment rates; and higher income,” he said.

“About half of the respondents to the study land jobs within 6 months after graduation, and about one percent of them do not have jobs even 2 years after their graduation,” he added.

“Chief among the reported reasons why the college graduates surveyed for the 1999 GTS find difficulty getting jobs are lack of job opportunities, and unsatisfactory salaries or opportunities for advancement in jobs,” Albert said.

He raised the need to conduct a new GTS to determine if supply from higher education meets the demands of the labor market.

‘Choosy graduates’

Citing a 2006-2011 set of data from the Labor Force Survey (LFS) conducted by the National Statistics Office, Albert said college graduates account for at least 18 percent of the total unemployed in the country.

Most of the college graduates who are not working earned degrees on medical courses, trade, craft and industrial programs, engineering and architectural programs, he said.

In comparision, Bureau of Labor Employment Statistics (BLES) data indicate that the top 3 “hard-to-fill” job vacancies from January 2009 to June 2010 include accountants and auditors, electronics and communications engineers, and systems analysts and designers.

“The top 3 reasons why vacancies are hard to fill were: 1) applicants lack needed competency/skill; 2) applicants expect a high salary; and 3) applicants lack years of experience,” he explained.

He said this jibes with the CHED’s 1999 GTS that shows jobless college graduates seem to be “choosy” in seeking jobs.

Albert said 2 in 5 unemployed graduate say they are jobless because of the following reasons: there is no job opening in field of specialization; no interest in getting a job; starting pay is low; and, no job opening within the vicinity of residence.

“The GTS clearly has a wealth of information that are useful in designing policies that put education in sync with employment,” he said.

Albert told ABS-CBNNews.com they are still waiting for the results of a new 2012 GTS that was commissioned to DLSU.

“The CHED appears to have conducted the GTS last year, and I look forward to examining the results,” he said.

names of la salle players written on wood burned during ateneo bonfire – pictures posted!

here’s an interesting and funny (!) sidelight —- someone wrote down the names of la salle players on pieces of wood, then carried it to the bonfire to burn! view the pictures here : http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.com/

apparently, this is a hot topic that readers from both sides – ateneo and la  salle are reacting to these pictures. read them here : http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.com/2008/10/ateneo-bonfire-celebration-of-5-wins.html

ateneo simply the superior team in the league this season, with or without la salle’s maierhofer’s dirty finger

how did ateneo win the UAAP championship? there are a few reasons: 

• la salle WAS NOT the only victim of ateneo’s prowess this season, EVERYONE else, all the other schools in the league lost to ateneo. ateneo closed the season almost on a pristine record. so la salle is not the sole victim here, ateneo simply dominated the league this season.hindi tsamba, the ateneo has it for real.
• ateneo beat la salle in ALL games played this season. that alone shows the strength and the superiority of the ateneo team over la salle. let’s accept it, ateneo’s team is superior over la salle this season.
• in the 2 finals games, la salle hardly led the score, in most of the game ateneo was ahead of la salle. once ateneo pulled ahead, la salle was unable to recover or even come close to say 1 point within ateneo. that never happened. that was how dominant the ateneo team was over la salle.
• rabeh has been the key to the ateneo team, the league MVP. rabeh’s stats, which are FACTS says it all – he used to average 5 pts last season, in this season he averaged 17 pts (if i remember that right) and in game 1 of the finals 31 pts (if i remember that right)
• chris tiu has played the same kind of power basketball as he did last season. that is key as that means ateneo has not lost it’s go-to guy this season.
• baclao has dominated the defensive end of the ateneo game. and certainly la salle was not the only victim, everyone else in the league was his victim.
• ateneo won the finals for a few reasons — rabeh improved his game, tiu continued his great game, baclao is the defensive power AND everyone else contributed very well. the ateneo team has the deepest bench in the league. time and again, specially in the finals, when their stars failed, the other players compensated for it and performed.in fact when 1 star fails, another star compensated. that happened in game 1, tiu underperformed, rabeh took over. in game 2, rabeh underperformed, tiu compensated.

  in both games, ateneo’s second stringers did their job too. and that was equally critical.

• something happened to the la salle team – they kept missing their shots. often they had a few chances to score, but no player can connect.
• la salle’s star players under-performed. in both finals game, la salle did not have a standout player – that one player who made a difference or even one player who showed leadership on the court. they disappeared from the team.
• la salle’s coach failed.a key weakness was exposed in the la salle game in game 1 – high turn-overs and low conversion of shots. la salle’s coach FAILED to adjust his coaching strategy in game 2. the SAME KINDS of errors and weaknesses were shown by the la salle team in game 2.

  there was only 1 successful coaching strategy la salle’s coach did – he got rabeh in foul trouble at the very start of the game. but other than that, the la salle coach underperformed.

• norman black out-coached la salle’s coach. black was brilliant in finding the right player to fill in the failures of its stars. tsui underperformed in game 1, rabeh underperformed in game 2 – in both instances, black chose the right 2nd stringers to fill in the weaknesses to keep the momentum up and keep the score in ateneo’s favor.black kept rabeh out of the game for most of the first half – that’s very couragious of him and as it turned out a brilliant strategy. that is great coaching!

  la salle’s coach on the other hand kept doing the same old thing, thus the failures continued. part of the problem of course is that la salle has very weak 2nd stringers.

la salle’s rico maierhofer dirty finger picture – posted in the-WAWAM!-file

la salle's rico maierhofer's dirty finger?

WAWAM! launched a campaign to find a picture of maierhofer flashing his dirty finger. we asked blog readers to send  pictures to the blog and we will post them. each and everyone in araneta coliseum had a cellphone with them, a picture of that moment ought to surface sooner or later.

the picture above was submitted by a reader. is that the an index finger or a dirty finger? read more about it here : http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.com/

maierhofer dirty finger – what caused la salle to lose to ateneo in the championship

as predicted here, ateneo won the championship via a sweep of la salle. we knew that, but what we didn’t know was the reaction of la salle’s coach and team.

la salle coach pumaren made a big deal rico maierhofer’s ejection from the game after his 2nd technical foul. pumaren says they lost on an account of bad officiating, like it was a set-up from start to finish that ateneo will win, courtesy of the referees. and he made an even bigger deal about the ejection of maierhofer. maierhofer was slapped a technical foul after he flashed a dirty finger.

maierhofer said he did not show a dirty finger – it was not the middle finger it was an index finger and it was meant for a teammate, telling his teammate to do better at guarding.

we need pictures of that middle finger or index finger being shown. we will post in WAWAM! your cellphone pictures of that scene. read more here : http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.com/
