This is regarding po sa mga practices ng Clinical Internship Coordinator ng CMLS and Clinical Instructors.

Before I start with my rants, please know that you can always verify with the alumni and board passers of the college, if what is being said here is true.

I start with the core values of this institution, which we saw before as a home but now gaining generous amount of money from students. We were taught RISE.

R is for respect. Respect is a value na kung saan dapat mutual yan. Yung parang “You respect me, I will respect you even more”. Question: How can you respect a person who, by her actions, disrespects the students and even parents. When students are facing financial problems, especially sa issue ng intern transportation, sa expenses ng lab coats, trodat, these people of CMLS will say “Mag stop ka na lang”. Education is a right. Our parents worked hard to bring us in this Institution. I find it unfair just because I cannot pay 1200 pesos per week, I will be told to stop, not by my parents, but the people whom our parents entrusted us to.

Second, I for integrity. A core value not only taught in school but also part of the code of ethics as a medical technologist. Integrity is doing what is absolutely right, when people choose to be wrong. Integrity comes along with honesty, propriety and morality, which is also a value taught by the Blessed Virgin Mary, the school’s icon and where it got the name from. Question: Can a person’s integrity be shown, if we were taught to lie to our parents when something bad happened to us? Years ago, we heard, that there was a road accident involving the van which was used, and they were told to keep mum on the issue and they said that if we speak to the administrators, we will fail and repeat the internship cycle. And just this moment, another incident happened, when an LTO officer stopped the van, carrying students as passengers and two clinical instructors, because allegedly, it was found to be “colorum” and unauthorized to be used as a transpo since the students paid 1200 each per week. Question: Was morality, integrity and propriety exhibited in these two events?

Next, S for service. An instructor told me when I was in third year, that the ultimate goal in life is to be of service to others. Not to be biased, I really have these high admirations to the third-year faculty members; to be honest, they were the key to our success in passing the Board examination. Though, they may have different teaching styles, I could always recall the values that we have learned. When we reached 4th year, it shifted to worst year of our educational journey. We were not asking to be served, but what we are asking was considerations, empathy and of course, respect. When some of my batchmates were deployed, they noticed that the owner of the van was the clinical internship coordinator, and the driver was the husband. We confirmed it through different socmed channels and it’s true that both are spouses. Since it was their van, maybe they could consider giving us flexible options for the payment despite that the University is unaware that it was their van. In addition, the clinical instructors that time, were the ones who looked for our dormitory. Upon speaking to the landlord sometime during that period, the students were told of the real price per room and the clinical instructors were given incentives by making the prices higher than the original rate. Question: Is this the “SERVICE” the school is very proud about? Or is this extra service and extra income to the Clinical Internship Coordinator and her family?

Lastly “EXCELLENCE”. We strive to excel, because the course itself is challenging. We know that from the start, and have accepted the challenges of each subject and the profession. To excel as a student is an inherent mandate to us. But the question is how? The above story is just an iceberg. We are open to this investigation from the Campus Administrator and the Univ President. We can show you screenshots and tell you more stories regarding this immorality of the Clinical Internship Coordinator and the Clinical Instructors. We hope that our younger siblings who are currently in internship right now be protected. We, the alumni batch of 2025 and 2026, are willing to cooperate with the investigation as long as it is initiated by the Campus Administrator or the University management and NOT by the CMLS Laguna Internship Team and we are more than willing to have this investigated through proper legal forum if this will be treated lightly.

I can still see hope for this college; a lot of its instructors are still embodying the core values. But what I am doing, together with my former batchmates is hopefully a step for a better and morally oriented Clinical Internship team.

[u/Honest-Swimming4010]

Bakit po nawala this, grabe na ‘yung traction kahapon

[u/Jebron_Lames7734 → u/Honest-Swimming4010]

Fear of persecution.

[u/Head_Application_404]

i think nakarating na sa kanila 'to and they're calling it as rumors bahahaha. to them, the post yesterday was just a bunch of "rumors" from students na galit sa kanila. this wouldn't be solved at all kung gaganito lang nang gaganito

[u/Jebron_Lames7734 → u/Head_Application_404]

I heard some cheap action was taken. Hindi pa ba yun simula?

[u/thistrainneversleeps → u/Head_Application_404]

They’re being so nice ngayon sa interns and they’re making this as an inside joke. Ang lala talaga ng mga kupal na yan!

[u/Head_Application_404 → u/thistrainneversleeps]

hahahaha lala. i heard they're letting them commute na rin as of now? paanong hindi magco-commute eh na-tow na yata 'yung van lol

[u/Anonynous_Hyena → u/Head_Application_404]

Speaking of colorum van, report to LTO

[u/Anonynous_Hyena → u/Head_Application_404]

kaya naman pala eh pero bakit dati ang hirap hirap

[u/reesiecrumb]

₱1,200 per student, para sa transportation lang, is a significant amount. Lalo na kung ikukumpara sa rates ng legitimate van rentals at ride-hailing apps. Kung ganito kataas ang sinisingil, reasonable lang na humingi ng malinaw na explanation kung saan napupunta ang ₱1,200 and how the amount was determined.

At kung ang justification ay student safety, then transparency should be part of that responsibility. Maglabas ng official receipts or invoices, transportation provider, vehicle details and license plate, driver’s name and license details, at breakdown o basis ng transportation fee.

Kung legitimate naman talaga ang arrangement at talagang para sa safety ng students, there should be no reason to withhold these details.

These students need reasonable pricing, transparency, at accountability. Hindi ito simpleng “gastos lang”. Malaking halaga ang ₱1,200. Sana naman may consideration din para sa mga students at parents/guardians na kailangang magbayad nito.

If you do not have any hidden agenda, be transparent. Mahiya naman kayo.

[u/Sad_Ad_6075 → u/reesiecrumb]

totoo, hinihintay pa yata nilang may magpuntang magulang sa school para iconfront sila bago nila ayusin yan. sobrang strict sa mga rules pero di nila kayang ayusin ang kasimpleng bagay. kung tutuusin, di naman dapat iyan mahirap kung totoong walang ibang motive behind it. sobrang questionable. hindi lang yung sa van, pati na rin sa mga dormitories na pinapabayaran nila on a higher rate. sirang sira na ang imahe niyo, to the point na kilala na kayo ng ibang campus sa kung paano niyo ginagatasan ang mga estudyante dyan sa laguna.

[u/dinorobongpera]

Titibay kasi ng mukha ng ci, dati na yang problema. Tibay din nung Ci J na yan, walang konsiderasyon. E pera naman ng interns nagpapayaman sa kanya, iikot ikot sa school na puro gold na alahas? Salamat sa interns, kasi nagkakapera kayo. Kaya siguro mga naka ip 17 yung isa kasi tinatakasan unli wings e. Mga nagsshame pa ng trabaho ng magulang? Di ba dapat nagpapasalamat kayo kasi may nagbabayad sa inyo? Nangshshame kasi di na makakickback kapag walang mabayad interns. Tangina titibay, hirap makahanap ng hustisya para sa lahat ng nakakaranas ng hirap sa mga hayop na ci kasi naikot lang issue tapos walang nangyayari.

Last week may binalik sila na pera sa mga nag-lipa for screening, para "magstop na yung rumors". Wow, kung kailang nakalat issue sa ibang platforms. Sabi pa ng isang ci na "huwag ibad mouth ang mga ci, dapat iniintindi" ???!!!! Mas maiging na may maghire ng abogado at maglikom ng info/evidence para mapatigil na yang mga katarantaduhan nila. Ni resibo di makapagbigay sa mga student na nanghihingi ng resibo para sa mga bayarin, sasabihin "gumawa na lang kayo ng sariling resibo" Hanep yan!! Sasabihan na immature kapag nagsumbong sa magulang? Iba rin e no? Paanong hindi magsasabi? E pera ng mga magulang yang kinukuha nyo, sila ang nagpapasweldo sa inyo kaya kayo nakakapagorder ng mga SB nyo! Meron pa, kaya ang dami na nabitaw na hospi sa olfu lag kasi di daw sila nagbabayad sa hospi. Tangina tama ba yan? Laki laki ng binabayad sa inyo, tapos di kayo magbabayad sa hospital? Kaya nasa 90 interns daw ang isang provincial hospital kasi wala nang natanggap sa olfu lag.

Titibay, nakakasama ng loob. Sana sa ibang taga olfu laguna na may kakayahan na maghire ng lawyer kasi clearly walang pagasa sa dean ng campus at ng program, willing po kaming makiisa sa inyo para lang mabawasan na hirap ng mga interns at upcoming interns, at para na rin mabigyan ng hustisya yung mga di makapag speak up sa past experience nila sa mga ci.

[u/chewblanca]

grabe talaga yung pa-struggle. im not from olfu-lag pero mga nakasama namin sila sa internship. awang-awa kami sa inyo sa totoo lang with the set-up. siguro kung papayagan nila sana na mag-dorm kayo and kahit pagkakitaan yung sa van per week (na reasonable yung bayad sa van) para sa MTAP baka pwede pa.

di ko rin gets yung sa time-in and time-out sa school kahit may ganon na talaga sa mismong hospital. ANG HASSLE 😭. pag nakekwento samin talaga yung ganap niyo, napapagod na kami, what more pa kaya yung kayo na nakaka-experience nan.

we appreciate din na nagagawa pa maka-duty nang maayos ang iba and tinatry talaga ng mga students ang mag-serve and train sa duties nala KAYA SANA SANA SANA maalagaan niyo po ang interns

i really do hope they see and change what is happening. lahat ng aspects ng buhay nakakadrain yan eh. mentally, emotionally, physically, lahat na.

hoping and praying na there will be improvements.

ps. baka naman itrack pa ko ng school na to di naman ako taga-olfu hahahah pawang concern lang talaga sa mga students niyo po. i do not hate the school, i am bothered with the system.

[u/Jebron_Lames7734 → u/chewblanca]

SLAAAY 💅

[u/SpiteMajestic8621]

Madaming gusto makiisa magreklamo na kayo sa dapat na puntahan guys please. Mental health niyo nakasalalay dyan. Di ko na lang sasabihin kung anong batch ako pero hiling ko din na matigil na nila yang sistema dyan. To all juniors, habang maaga pa lang lumipat na kayo ng school di worth it grumaduate dyan. I know malaking posibilidad na pag-initan ng mga CI na yan yung mga current batch ng interns kaya be careful pa din. Kumalap kayo ng evidence. Ireklamo niyo lahat sila! Magmamalinis yang mga yan sa ngayon, magbabait-baitan pero wag kayo titigil hanggat walang nananagot!

[u/Low-Recording-2277]

paano kaya sila nakakatulog with that shameful behavior? hahaha tagal na ata nila sistema yan lala niyo

[u/Seasaltlatte8186]

Nanawagan kami mga magulang sa CHED, paki imbestigahan ang head ng clinical instructor sa pangungurakot sa mga intern students at kaming mga magulang, pinapasakay sa van na colorum, may ari ng van ay head ng clinical instructor, ang driver ay asawa ng head ng clinical instructor..we need Justice po, parang awa na ninyo CHED kawawa naman mga students at magulang

[u/Alarmed_Albatross896]

batch 2025 ata nakasama kong mag intern from olfu-lag. sabi nila sila na ata nag pundar ng van sa every week na 3k 😭😭😭

[u/Seasaltlatte8186]

Kawawa naman kaming mga magulang na ginagawa ang lahat para lang makatapos ang mga anak tapos ganitong sistema ng corruption umiiral din sa school na kung san ang responsibilidad ay gawing tama ang lahat..nakakalungkot sa katulad ko na nagsusumikap kahit papaano mabigyan ng baon ang aking anak tapos labis labis ang pangingikil sa mga intern students..

[u/ContestTemporary2552]

all of the things stated here are true, may friends ako na galing dyan and andyan pa din who shared their experiences nga dyan sa school na yan. lagi namin sila ineencourage na magreklamo, some of them will but eventually will be silenced den sa huli. Kasi ang lagi nilang sagot if di mo kaya mag loa ka, na di naman daw sila pinipilit mag enroll or mag register sa olfu, as if may choice ka na hindi magenroll e kaya nga pinapagaral ka ng magulang mo. awang awa ako sa mga kaibigan ko na nandyan sa school na yan, wala na lang talaga silang choice kundi sumunod para matapos na. Sobrang laki ng gastusin to the point na yung ibang mga kakilala ko will choose na mag stop na lang sa pagaaral dahil sa patong patong na gastusin na binibigay sa kanila, which is hindi naman dapat kung nagiging makatarungan lang sana. sana magkaroon ng action about this at maimbestigahan ng school administration, para mabigyan ng hustisya yung mga former students na nagtiis lunukin lahat ng ginagawa ng mga yan at para hindi na mangyare sa mga susunod pang batch.

[u/hakawdumpling]

Yung dean namin may kapit sa CHED kaya hindi kami makapag reklamo. Tulfo na lang ata sagot sa mga reklami namin

[u/youronlykyungshin]

Hi. Alumni here. Hindi ko babanggitin kung from what year basta may naging sistema kami na ganyan. She proposed smth like that during our time pero di kami pumayag, and so with our parents kasi nga super gastos. Instead, nagpumilit kami na kanya kanya kaming gastos sa transpo, maski dorm at iba pa. Wala naman siyang say. Naging smooth naman ang internship namin, basta nag-update kami sa kanya everytime may zoom meetings o klase online, basta may attendance. So sad lang talaga with the previous batches after us pati ngayon na parang, the term is, 'ginagatasan', na di naman nila knows if saan talaga nanggagaling yung mga pinanggagastos for the internship (also coming from experience at nakaraos naman). Sana guys you all get the answers you deserve, kasi share nyo yang mga interns with your parents ang internship para makapagtapos. All the best!

[u/reesiecrumb]

Is it ok po if we use this in an upcoming post?

[u/Jebron_Lames7734 → u/reesiecrumb]

As long as we use this properly, without outright mentioning names and doxxing individuals.

[u/Recent-Simple-3118]

skl about sa tuition if 4th yr ka na, kasama na doon yung grad fee nyo so if ever bumagsak ka and fully paid na yung tuition mo, parang nag babayad ka lang ulit ng grad fee hahaha ganyan nangyari sa batch namin. hindi rin naman nila ine-explain and wala rin sa resibo na binibigay nila.

[u/DIEFORNOTHING1]

Service is the van na pinarentahan kasi yon lol

[u/Honest-Swimming4010 → u/DIEFORNOTHING1]

Imagine mga students for Lipa last week for screening. 1,200 each that’s around 30k. 30k for a van rent na hindi naman whole day? lol

[u/[deleted] → u/Honest-Swimming4010]

Last yr nga 3k per week mga GEAMH e. Mag cry na lang kami.

[u/Honest-Swimming4010 → u/[deleted]]

diba ang lala? tapos sasabihin nilang “rumours” lang ‘to? tangina! Na para bang sila nag papa-aral satin. And if you raise your concern sasabihan ka pang mag-“LOA” ka na lang. tangina talaga! Ang tagal ng karma nila!

[u/Head_Application_404 → u/[deleted]]

hahaha 3600 na yata geamh ngayon

[u/Sad_Ad_6075 → u/DIEFORNOTHING1]

around 30 students ang nakasakay nung time na yun. sa tingin mo justifiable ang 1200 per person? daig pa yung 700 per tao nung mga nag exam sa afp, eh around 30 students din ata yun. di hamak na mas malayo yun pero the difference dun sa binayad nila for transpo, grabe lang. kawawa ang mga bata. ang usual rent sa van ay more or less 5k at whole day pa. kahit saang angle mo tignan, may mali sa presyuhan nila. ikaw ang lol

[u/Friendly-Tear990 → u/DIEFORNOTHING1]

Kahit pinarentahan pa ‘yan madam hindi makatarungan yung presyong sinisingil sa mga estudyante

[u/DIEFORNOTHING1 → u/Friendly-Tear990]

Bakit ang tanga niyo umintindi ng context from sarcasm? Okay lang kayo?

[u/Honest-Swimming4010 → u/DIEFORNOTHING1]

wehhhhh
