Church duty is not a valid excuse to be absent

I have this student who contacted me saying, "Good afternoon po, Sir. Sorry po for messaging this late. [Name redacted] po from level 4 block 5, hindi ko po kasi mahahabol yung schedule ko po ng 8-10am sa return demo due to my church duty and obligations po. Kung pwede po sir na maisabay nalang po ako sa ibang blk sa hapon po? Hoping for your consideration po. Thank you po."

I told her that church obligations are not valid excuses to be absent from class and told her that her excuse will remain invalid once she is already working as a registered nurse. I teach BSN in one of the top performing schools of nursing in the country here in North Luzon and no I won't budge on her damn excuse. You know what grinds my gears now? I fricking learned that she's part of the INC cult.

Either she attends my class or she'll be zero. Sorry not sorry.

Edit: My reply, "Good afternoon. Sorry pero hindi valid excuse yung church duty. Pag working ka na di nila din icoconsider yung mga ganyang matters kaya masanay na kayo. Illness lang ang valid excuse."
