MANILA, Philippines – When a perpetual locker room opens up, questions are raised when territorial boys say having girls around will threaten their traditions and end their “glory days.”
In this episode of Making Space, Rappler’s Michelle Abad speaks to Saab Rivas and Sean Carballo, alumni of La Salle Green Hills , and Jb Bejarin and Bea Legaspi, graduates of Ateneo Senior High School . After many years of an all-boys Ateneo, Jb became part of the pioneer co-ed batch for ASHS, while Bea became the first female student government president.
Fernandez also mentioned that a co-ed setup would help with the “holistic formation of the boys.” Saab and Sean agreed that girls shouldn’t be tools for boys to develop themselves. Jb and Bea said they had pleasant experiences in the pilot years for co-education in ASHS, but they worry that girls will have to go through dangerous or even abusive encounters that were a result of the school not moving fast enough to truly accommodate them.
