THE POLYTECHNIC University of the Philippines earned flak for its “stingy” pay for student assistants.

This came after the university announced that SAs will be paid P25 per hour with a maximum of 100 hours of work per month.

“Nagmahal na po pamasahe and such. May increase po ba kahit unti sa assistance 100 hr x 25 pesos = 2,500php,” one netizen said.

Others agreed, saying that SAs should be compensated properly.

Students wanting to do SA work need to have a general weighted average of at least 2.50 and have no failing marks or drop subjects.

The post is open for 2nd to 4th-year-regular students who are not scholars.
