How are out-of-class communication and groupings organized?

The digital platform at www.easyclass.com shall be used for out-of-

class communication. For registration/log in instructions, go to

tinyurl.com/m5gy8cz . Note that failure to register your ISMIS-recorded

surname and given name(s) using normal capitalization will mean

disapproval or deletion in case request is inadvertently approved.

Easyclass posts shall be sufficient notice to the class. Check for posts atleast twice a week including Sundays. Strictly no text messaging except

for urgent messages and only via duly chosen team leader(s). Note that

our Easyclass account is solely class-intended. Thus, it will be deleted

after the semester/summer.

Those not regularly online must choose as academic partner

somebody who regularly connects to the internet. Other than

coordinate with each other, academic partners shall also account for

each other during drills and emergencies. Meanwhile, groupings are:Grouping Team (location facing ANFC) Segment as Convenor

KatipunanHimig (H) – front right Pre-midterm

Oro (O) – back right Midterm

MaharlikaSinag (S) – back left Pre-final

Tumpak (T) – front left Final

The Convenor Team co-manages the class with the following roles:

1.

Facilitate the attendance checking and monitoring 10 minutesafter the second bell/official start of class. The monitoring form is

provided herewith and is also accessible at tinyurl.com/kc3sytd. It must

also ensure that entry into the room is barred within this period. Entry

into the classroom shall resume after this 10-minute period.

2. Help guide the class on the order of the day.

3. Collect papers intended/scheduled for submission to ANFC.

4. Alert ANFC to prepare for dismissal 10 minutes before the next

period. At this time, the team must also submit to ANFC the team

attendance forms, and late slips or other submissions, if any.

5. Help maintain cleanliness and orderliness in the classroom during

and after class especially if ANFC is not yet in or is temporarily out of the

room. This includes ensuring for ready use a clean board and/or

projector and other equipment if and when needed.

Issues affecting any groupings such as free-loading must be

communicated to ANFC immediately via private message in Easyclass

otherwise, the grouping is presumed to be working as intended, i.e. to

facilitate learning.

2.

How do you identify submitted matter in class?

Unless otherwise instructed, indicate your Class Locator & Identifying

Code (CLIC) at the top of any hard copy submission:

Class symbol Surname, Given name/s initials Team initial<row>.<seat> Date

Example: % CAPISTRANO, A.N.F. H1.1 11-12-13

Soft copy submissions must bear the following filename format in all

SMALL letters:<Class symbol><Surname/s w/ initials or team’s name>.<date of deadline>

Example: %capistranoanf.01.16.15 OR %himig.01.16.15

Note: Failure to properly indicate your CLIC will mean non-

acceptance of submission and/or discretionary deduction . Neitherpiecemeal submission nor post-submission retrieval shall be allowed.

3.

What are the critical points regarding attendance?

You get one (1) point per ½ hour attended provided that you

accomplish properly the team attendance form provided (also

accessible at tinyurl.com/p4w2rxa). Proper accomplishment is done by:

a. Indicating the class symbol and row numbers on the spaces

provided for. Names must be written legibly.

b. Indicate the date numerically in the following order: month’s

number, specific date, year.

c. Choose a signature that is quick and convenient to write and

affix it consistently throughout the semester in the form.

d. For orderly compilation, each duly accomplished attendance

form must be attached with a double adhesive tape at the part

indicated. The accomplished forms must be submitted to theConvenor Team with one side of the tape unopened.

e. Each student/partnership/team must have her/his/its own

printout of the required form, scissors, and double adhesive

tape. Sharing is permissible if it expedites the procedure.

f. Printing/reproduction of the form must comply with the

required dimension since the proper alignment of signatures of

present students is essential in ascertaining attendance.

Absences must not exceed 20% of semestral contact hours or

approximately:

You must present your

Re-admission Slip (RAS) after your …

7 1 ½ first 5 absences and each absence thereafter

10 1 first 7 absences and each absence thereafter

5 3 first 3 absences and each absence thereafter

Note:Monitor your attendance. Once needed, get your RAS from

your college/department. If the dean/chairman is not around,

prepare a note to be signed by authorized personnel as proof of your

prior attempt to secure the RAS and present to ANFC for provisional

re-admission. Do not stop securing the note for each subsequent

meeting until you get your RAS or else, you will still be deemed

absent despite class attendance. Documented valid absences may be

granted consideration provided that said documentation is properly

verified by apt person(s), e.g. parent/guardian, doctor, coach.

Absences are presumed upon:

a.

Failure to present RAS after the first set of absences and after; or

b. Failure to duly accomplish the class attendance form; or

c. Three (3) instances of duly-noted tardiness/lateness.

To adjust a record of absence to late,

you must prepare, sign and submit inclass immediately without demand a

1”x1” Late Slip. Failure to do so properly

will not modify the record of absence.

A warning will be given for the first violation and confiscation upon

subsequent violation(s).

d. Submission deadlines are for strict compliance. Inability to comply

in time must be communicated online and in writing to ANFC on orbefore the deadline with undertaking to submit the pertinent

requirement at a specific later date followed by actual submission.

e. Failure/refusal to follow policies, instructions and/or academic

standards shall be dealt with accordingly.

f. Grades shall be released via Easyclass Gradebook and ISMIS.

Type your essay below this instruction.

In your opinion, is the controversy regarding the DAP a sufficient reason to im

the President? Justify your standpoint.

is during President Benigno Aquino III’s years in the position that a great number of controversies and the

ringing down of corruption took place. An example of which is the infamous Philippine Developmentssistance Funds (PDAF) and its abolishment, the scrutiny of the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), and

he many cases sued against suspected government officials.

he main focus of this essay is DAP. The Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) is a stimulus package under

he Aquino administration designed to fast-track public spending and push economic growth. This covers

igh-impact budgetary programs and projects, which will be augmented out of the savings generated during the

ear and additional revenue sources.

n an article I have read from Philstar, the Supreme Court of the Philippines affirmed the unconstitutionality of

he DAP while partially granting the government’s motion for reconsideration. The magistrates affirmed that a

gnificant portion of the administration's DAP, supposedly created to speed-up public spending, violates Section5(5), Article VI of the 1987 Constitution and the doctrine of separation of powers of the executive and

egislative branches.

ecause of the affirmation stated above, is it more enough of a reason now to impeach our President? No. The

AP, even if some parts of it is affirmed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, is not a sufficient reason to

mpeach the President. Why not? What are the grounds to impeach him? The grounds for impeachment are:

ulpable violation of the Constitution, treason, bribery, graft and corruption, other high crimes, or betrayal of

ublic trust. Is it not that DAP is unconstitutional therefore it is a culpable violation of the Constitution? No, it is

ot. I would like to quote Constitution expert Fr. Joaquin Berna with regards to this.

t doesn't seem to me a culpable violation of the constitution. Because culpable violation means to be an

ntentional violation of the constitution. Negligence, but that's not a ground for impeachment,” Berna said in an

nterview aired on GMA News TV.

ow about betrayal of public trust? Many people say this would be the ground for the impeachment of the

resident. However, there needs to be assessment whether it is betrayal or just disappointment. The Supreme

ourt defined betrayal of trust simply as “Acts that should constitute betrayal of public trust as to warrant

emoval from office may be less than criminal but must be attended by bad faith and of such gravity and

eriousness as the other grounds of impeachment.” Going with this definition alone, President Noynoy can

rgue that the DAP is just a misunderstanding of the law and was implemented in good faith.

gain, my say in the matter regarding the DAP as a sufficient reason to impeach the President is a no. DAP is not

legal basis for his impeachment. I would like to end this essay with a quote from Fr. Joaquin Berna,

t seems to me it's more of ignorance of the Constitution, and ignorance is not a ground for impeachment." 494
