Teacher Urges Parents to Refrain from Giving Money Garlands During Graduation Ceremonies


A teacher and content creator has called on parents to stop distributing Money Garlands to their children during graduation ceremonies.

In a Facebook post, Alice Ecila expressed concerns that parents flaunting their wealth in this manner could negatively impact the mental health of other graduating students.

Money Garlands are elaborate ribbons made by stacking paper bills together.



“Munting pakiusap para sa mga magulang na magbibigay ng Money Garland.. Sana po ay huwag po ninyong isabit ito sa mga anak nio habang nagaganap ang seremonya ng graduation. Para ipakita sa mga tao na higit na sagana kayo kaysa sa nakakarami. Alam ko po na ang magiging rason n’yo eh gusto n’yo eh, karapatan n’yo un, pero ang ndi n’yo po alam malaki epekto nito sa mga batang ndi mabbgyan ng ganyan,” Ecila wrote.

“Magkakaroon sila ng inggit at mababang pagtingin sa kanilang mga magulang. Madami ang magsasabi “Sana All” pero deep inside ang nasa isip nila “sana ako din may ganun”. Paalala lamang ito at hindi po ito pangongontra. Malay mo yung ibang magulang halos gumapang sa hirap mapagtapos lang ang kanilang mga anak. Be responsible in all our actions,” she added.

The post has already garnered thousands of shares on social media.

One netizen, May Ann, commented, “Yes po Tama,para sa mata ng ibang bata inggit mananaig,kahit naman sino mapapa Sana all na lang,”



Another netizen, also commented “Very well said. Magkakaron ng insecurity at mababang pagtingin sa magulang nila yong iBang Bata na naghahngad ng ganyan din. Pwede naman siguro sa bahay na lang nila ibigay”
