Unang araw sana ng tutorial niya noon kay BBM, Winnie Monsod nag walk-out!

Former Socioeconomic Planning Secretary and Famous Professor Winnie Monsod revealed that she was the tutor of former Senator Bongbong Marcos.

In her article in the Inquirer, Monsod recounts how Malacanang called her to teach Marcos who had already failed his cut-off exam at Oxford. The former senator allegedly failed in Politics and Economics but passed in Philosophy.

She said Marcos was given the opportunity to pass the said exam so Monsod was called by her then dean Jose “Pepe” Encarnacion to teach the former senator Economics. “My Dean, the late Jose ‘Pepe’ Encarnacion, phoned me and asked if I would consider tutoring Bongbong Marcos in economics. He said about four hours maximum, just to explain certain points which Bongbong was confused about,” said Monsod.

But the first day of his tutoring with Marcos did not go well because she was ahead of her student.

After waiting for a few minutes, Monsod left because Marcos allegedly did not show respect for her. “I went to Malacañang at the appointed time and presented myself—Professor Monsod, Bongbong’s tutor. And was asked to take a seat. I waited for 10 minutes, and then asked the man who was there: Where is my student? He shamefacedly said that Bongbong had not yet arrived. I pointed out that in UP, students waited for the teacher, not the other way around. And marched down the stairs.” added the economist.

The next day, she continued teaching Marcos who apologized to her. “He was. Bongbong apologized nicely, and we had a two-hour conversation on microeconomics. We had another two hours in macroeconomics on some other day. And that was the last I saw of him for another 20 years.” stated Monsod.

 

It seems that Monsod's teaching to Marcos paid off because he passed the economics exam, but he still failed in politics. That is why the former senator allegedly only obtained a Special Diploma from a prestigious university.

So far, Marcos' camp has not responded to Monsod's story.
