Here are some of the comments:
“Sana mabigyan sya ng chance na makapagturo. Sobrang konti ang mga teachers sa math” – FB user Ma Cristina Yao Codotco
“I salute kuya’s enthusiasm. But theres an error.(x+y)^2 is not equal to (x^2+y^2). Must be (x^2+2xy+y^2). I’m worried that profs beside him didnt notice. Baka magcause ng confusion sa students . I hope he got corrected during discussion para atleast naitama narin yung learnings ng students. I think kuya forgot the rule since mukang impromptu yung pagdiscuss nya. But still salute to him” – FB user Alexander Columna Amen
“That raises a question: if a vendor knows algebra and the fact s/he can use it, what’s the use of algebra if does not uplift the *quality* of life of a person? Lalo lang magtataka ang student…” – FB user Rex Bringula
