14 | @jcmaningat: The suicide of the UP Manila student is big slap on the face of @PresidentNoy who claims that life is easier under his reign #justice #fb | @jcmaningat: Felaka tehamaina mivaivay eny amin'ny tavan'ny @PresidentNoy ny famonoan-tena nataon'ilay mpianatry ny UP Manila, ny filoha izay milaza fa mora kokoa ny fiainana eo ambanin'ny fitondràny #justice #fb |

16 | The case of Kristel Tejada was not a suicide. | Tsy famonoantena ny trangan'i Kristel Tejada. |
17 | There was no choice - either you pay or you stop pursuing your dreams. | Tsy nisy safidy - na ianao mandoa na ianao mitsahatra tsy manohy ny nofinofinao. |
18 | She was killed by the system- a system that refuse to recognize that education is a right, that life is measured in your capacity to pay. | Ny rafitra no namono azy - rafitra iray izay mandà ny hankato ny maha-zo n y fanabeazana, sy hoe refesina amin'ny alàlan'ny fahafahanao mandoa vola ny fiainanao. |
19 | A sad and outrageous day for us Iskolars ng Bayan (scholars of the people). :( | Andro iray sady mampalahelo no mahatezitra ho antsika Iskolars ng Bayan (manampahaizan'ny vahoaka). |

21 | I believe that we are an education system that prides itself on honor and excellence. | Inoako fa isika no rafi-panabeazana iray izay midoka tena ho misy voninahitra sy tonga lafatra. |
22 | But if we deny someone her rights because of money, are we not worse than the system we claim to fight and abhor? | Nefa raha toa isika mandà ny zony noho ny resa-bola, tsy ratsy lavitra noho ny rafitra izay lazaintsika fa hiadiana sy lavina ve isika? |
23 | Where is the honor or the excellence in that, my beloved UP? | Aiza ny voninahita sy ny tonga lafatra ao anatin'izany, ry UP malalako? |

25 | Jefrey Tupas compares the recent suicide of the UP Manila student to the death of a 12-year old girl in Davao City five years ago: | Mampitaha ilay famononantena vao haingana nataonà mpianatry ny UP Manila io tamin'ny fahafatesan'ny zazavavy iray 12 taona tao an-tanànan'i Davao, dimi taona lasa izay i Jefrey Tupas: |
26 | Those who come from grassroots families, those who are living below poverty line, are directly hit by the policy of the government on education commercialization. | Ireo izay avy amin'ny sarambabem-bahoaka, ireo izay miaina ambanin'ny fahantrana, no mizaka mivantana ny politikan'ny governemanta momba ny fanaovana ny fampianarana ho toy ny varotra. |
27 | The yellow government-the Aquino government-is pursuing the same formula being forced on us by the previous governments. | Ny governemanta mavo - ny governemantan'i Aquino - dia manohy hatrany io raikipohy napetraky ny governemanta teo aloha ho amintsika io. |
28 | Dean Lozarie answers those who seek to de-politicize the issue by insisting that the death was merely personal and not political. | Mamaly i Dean Lozarie ho an'ireo izay mitady ny hamadika ilay olana tsy ho ao anaty resa-politika amin'ny fanindriana hoe resaka manokana fa tsy misy idiran'ny politika ilay fahafatesana. |
29 | But it certainly was, if by political we mean that it aptly describes the state of things on a wider scale and reflects the narrative of society at large. | Nefa izany no izy, raha ny tiantsika tenenina ara-politika dia ny hoe manoritsoritra ny toe-zavatra amin'ny sehatra midadasika sy mitaratra ny fitantaràna ny tantaran'ny fiaraha-monina iray manontolo izany. |
30 | We can argue about facts, and we can argue about what was really going through her mind in her final moments. | Afaka miady hevitra momba ireo zava-misy isika, ary afaka miady hevitra momba ny zavatra tena nandalo tao an-tsainy nandritra ny fotoana farany nahavelomany. |
31 | But on this we can certainly agree: barely one year into her stay at the nation's premiere university, long-standing university and government policies prevented her from continuing her studies. | Nefa amin'izany dia afaka manaiky soa aman-tsara isika fa: herintaona monja nandritra ny fijanonany tao amin'ny anjerimanontolo voalohan'ny firenena, nanakana azy hanohy ny fianarany ny politika napetraky ny anjerimanontolo sy ny governemanta efa hatry ny ela. |
32 | Repeated and reasonable pleas from her and her family to reassign her to a lower bracket in UP's financial assistance program and to consider her financial situation were rejected. | Nolavina ny fangatahany sy ny an'ny fianakaviany miverimberina sy ara-drariny ho famerenana azy any aminà bracket ambany kokoa eo amin'ny fandaharana fanohanana ara-bolan'ny Anjerimanontolo ao Filipina sy ny hijerena manokana ny toerana misy azy. |
33 | This deeply affected her emotionally. | Niantraika lalina teo amin'ny ara-pihetseham-pony izany. |
34 | These facets of society, of the contemporary history of our nation, are manifest in the biography of the UP freshman from Tondo who just wanted to go to school. | Ireo endriky ny fiaraha-monina ireo, ny an'ny tantaran'ny firenentsika amin'izao fotoana, dia mivandravandra ao anatin'ny mombamomba ilay mpianatra taona voalohan'ny Anjerimanontolon'i Filipina avy any Tondo izay te-handia fianarana fotsiny ihany. |

36 | Former UP Student Regent Krissy Conti explains why the university's STFAP is a smokescreen for tuition increase and forms a sinister background for the suicide. | Manazava ny antony mahatonga ny STFAP-n'ny anjerimanontolo ho fàfana mamoaka setroka entina hanakonana ny fiakaran'ny saram-pianarana sy mamorona tontolo mampidi-doza ho an'ny famonoan-tena, ny solotenan'ny mpianatry taloha avy amin'ny Anjerimanotolo Krissy Conti. |
37 | The final tuition collection from all enrolees is right there, tallied in the government accounting. | Ny fitambaran'reo saram-pianaran'ireo nisoratra anarana rehetra voaray farany, mipetraka ao anatin'ny fitantanan'ny governemanta. |
38 | No one has dared deny that income from student fees has grown through the years. | Tsy nisy na iray aza sahy nandà fa nitombo ny vola avy amin'ny saram-pianaran'ireo mpianatra nandritra ireo taona mifanesy. |
39 | In fact it has become a reliable and liquid money source that more or less half of maintenance expenses are programmatically taken from the tuition fund | Eny tokoa, lasa loharano azo antoka ho fidiran'ny tonga dia vola (liquide) izany ary avy amin'ireo saram-pianarana ireo no voalamina hanaovana saika ny antsasaky ny fanamboarana rehetra |
40 | Priscilla Pamintuan comments that the suicide is a clear example of the unjust system of education now prevailing in the country. | Mitsikera i Priscilla Pamintuan fa ohatra mivaingana manaporofo ny rafitra tsy rarin'ny fampianarana mibahana eo amin'ny firenena ankehitriny io famonoan-tena io. |
41 | Whatever washing of hands the Commission on Higher Education may do in public - because each state university have the autonomy to set its own policies related to tuition - it cannot deny that it is accountable to what happens to their students. | Na inona na inona fomba hanasan'ny Kaomision'ny Fampianarana Ambony tànana eo anoloan'ny vahoaka - satria manana fizakan-tena hametraka ny politikany manokana manodidina ny saram-pampianarana ny anjerimanontolom-panjakana tsirairay - tsy afaka mandà ny andraikiny manoloana ny zavatra manjo ny mpianany izy. |
42 | Is it not that CHED and the administration of Benigno Aquino III have long pushed for the yearly cuts in the budget of state colleges and universities to make them “self-sufficient”? | Tsy ny CHED sy ny biraon'i Benigno Aquino III va no nanararaotra efa hatry ny ela ny fanapahana isan-taona ny tetibola ho an'ireo mpianatry ny fanjakana sy ny anjerimanontolo mba hanaovana azy ireny ho “mizaka tena”? |
43 | In a Facebook Note, Lisa Ito writes a call to action to honor the dead student's memory. | Anatinà naoty Facebook, manoratra antso hihetsehana ho fanomezan-kaja hahatsiarovana ilay mpianatra maty i Lisa Ito. |
44 | Some have implored: suicide is not the solution, don't give up, there is hope. | Ny sasany niangavy: tsy vahaolana ny famonoan-tena, aza mamoy fo, misy ny fanantenana. |
45 | I agree. | Manaiky aho. |
46 | | Ny vahaolana dia ny fiadiana ho an'ny zon'ny olona iray, ary mijery ny ady hatramin'ny farany. |
47 | | Tsy hiteny mihitsy aho hoe very hasina izy, satria-na inona na inona antony nahatonga azy nanao ny zava-bitany-ny fanaovany sorona ny tenany sy ny fahabangana eo amin'ny fianakaviany dia nahatonga antsika hiatrika amin'izay ilay marina mankarary: fa tsy misy hevitra afa-tsy ny fihetsehana manoloana ny trangan-javatra misy amin'izao fotoana. |
48 | The solution is to fight for one's rights, and to see the struggle through to the end. | Ny laharana voalohany amin'ny anton'ny famonoan-tena ao amin'ny firenena dia ny rarin-tsaina tsy voatsabo. Azo tsaboina tsara ny rarin-tsaina ary azo sorohana ny famonoan-tenba. |
49 | I will never say that she failed in valor, because-whatever the reason for arriving at the point she did-her sacrifice and her family's loss has compelled us all to finally confront the painful truth: that there is no other recourse but to act on the situation now. | Afaka mahazo fanampiana avy amin'ireo laharan'antso fizaràna tsiambaratelo ho an'ny resaka famonoan-tena sy ho an'ireny olona misedra olana ara-pihetsehampo ireny. Tsidiho ny Befrienders.org hahitànao fanampiana ety anaty aterineto isorohana ny famonoan-tena any amin'ny firenanao. |
