I lived on both the kupal season and the now version of UPLB. I just don't want yung mga comments na sobrang nasa extreme sides of the spectrum. Bakit outraged yung alums? Kasi yung term na kupal nuon is very casual, its more of play of words. More on witty rebuttal and use...

..of sarcasm. Nung time ko undergrad (ewan ko kung ganito rin yung nuon nuon pa). Ang pangugupal is just plainly verbal.
Modern halimbawa: (pumunta kayo sa carinderia)
Ate Karinderia: Kakain?
Student: Hindi ate maliligo ako kaya ako dito pumunta sa carinderia.

This is..

..already pangungupal. Yung pagtawanan mo sha sa maling sagot nya sa dimensional analysis sa exam. Pangungupal na yun. It was taken lightly then. It was given very heavy meaning today that this word actually nawawala na sha sa vocabulary ng UPLB when it was a mainstay before.

Also, nuon pag kinupal ka and it doesn't sit well with you, you confront the person and tell him na mali ang ginagawa nya. Merong resolve na person-person. Or sa text or call maybe. Hindi pa uso ang social media masyado. Hindi katulad ngayon, parang wala ng chance to confront..

their points as if your opinions are the absolute correct and righteous. Generation gap entails difference in socio-economic status, definition of terms, conditions from then and now. I say respect begets respect and we should find a middle ground for all of what's happening...

Sabi nga seek first to understand than to be understood. So yeah keep the discussion healthy and meaningful and please wag namang close minded if nagtatry na magpaliwanag. Tas nakikita ko minsan pag may point yung argument hindi nirereplyan or inaacknowledge. I think mali yung...

ganun. If you really want to push for something then understand what the other side is saying for fairness and for understanding. Mahirap ang side mo lang ang nakikita mo.
No hate just love. :)
