We share the "Iskolar ng Bayan" label with those who go to other public universities such as the University of the Philippines. It's more of a privilege than something to be embarrassed of actually. After all, not everyone gets to be called "iskolar". Passing WVSU college entrance test could be a pooper but it will all be worth it once you get in.
