The millions of money wasted on useless investments chosen by Jinggoy, JPE and the 3rd I think is Bong R for their PDAF is unthinkable. It could have been used on far more meaningful projects to benefit the poor. The case about this young UP student is something she can no longer afford to solve by herself nor with the help of her parents whose means of livelihood is far too stretched. Her case would have been better classified under Class "E" and not "D" where she could have been classified free from paying the tuition if only she were under "E." That girl's situation is really difficult to imagine because, being the eldest in the siblings of 5, she must have higher dreams in life if only given the chance to overcome it. And she must have envisioned herself as the onl y hope i n the family to redeem their dismal state of being poor especially looking at how her younger siblings are trying hard everyday how to survive with the meager income of her father who is simply a "taxi driver." And what made her driven to end her life up to the last minute was the reality itself that much to her desire to continue her studies she reached the bottom line of it where she was made to stop going to school because of her parents failure to pay her school fees.

She was classified D before because her father used to earn enough for the family as a quality control officer of a factory that closed up. UP should have done a reevaluation of Kristel's tuition class bracket when this thing happened to her family.
