In a baffling turn of events, parents, teachers, and students of two esteemed schools in Butuan City and Leon, Iloilo, have reportedly launched a petition to rename their beloved institutions. Citing alleged difficulties in job hunting for alumni, who supposedly face cringe-worthy reactions from employers upon seeing their alma mater on resumes, the petition targets none other than Bading Elementary School and Bayag National High School. Claiming an urgent need for change, proponents argue that the mere mention of these names sends shockwaves through the Filipino job market, leaving graduates in a perpetual state of employment limbo. While the seriousness of the situation remains questionable, one can’t help but wonder if this uproar is simply a case of misplaced priorities or a genuine attempt to alleviate the woes of the job-seeking populace. As the debate rages on, one thing is certain: the fate of Bading and Bayag hangs in the balance, awaiting a verdict that could redefine their legacy forever.

“Bading” is Filipino slang for “gay man,” and “bayag” is the Tagalog word for “testicles.”
