PART II.
1. Read carefully the provisions in Section 3(2) of Article XIV on Education. Explain the mandate
that the State shall “establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate and integrated
system of education.”
It basically states that the government shall build schools, maintain them, establish a
learning curriculum that is relevant to the learner’s needs.
2. Based on your observation as a would-be teacher, what are the educational institutions doing to
prepare teachers who will help attain the goals stated in Section 3?
According to Section 3, a would-be teacher should be required to include the study of
the Constitution in the school’s curricula to instill values of patriotism and nationalism,
foster love for humanity, promote respect for human rights and the appreciation of the
role of national heroes in the historical development of the country, teach the rights and
duties of citizenship, and encourage critical and creative thinking to the young minds of
the students.

The State should also give priority to research and development and innovation and
protect the rights of scientists, inventors, artists and other gifted citizens to their
intellectual property rights and the State should promote physical education and sports
programs in order to instill self-discipline and foster teamwork and excellence for the
development of a healthy and alert citizenry.
The 1987 Constitution gives every Filipino citizen the privilege to be educated and utilize
the free education that each one deserves.
4. Is the use of the Mother Tongue as a medium of instruction from K to Grade 3 in the K to 12
Curriculum in accordance with Section 7?
Yes, because according to Section 7, the official languages are Filipino and, until
otherwise provided by law, English.
5. What educational practices and programs are aligned to Sec. 10, Sec. 14, Sec. 17, Sec. 18 and
Sec. 19?
The Duterte administration gave reassurance of its commitment to the science,
technology and innovation sector. This was established in the big increase in the budget
of the DOST this year.
Besides the basic and applied research, Duterte’s speech specifically expressed the
current administration’s support to the Philippine Space Technology Program.
Even that the Philippines is influenced by western culture but it is still very rich in the
national arts and culture that is why the Philippines has been named "cultural capital" of
the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) for 2010 and 2011,
according to presidential adviser on culture Cecile Guidote-Alvarez.
The major cultural agencies of government are the Cultural Center of the Philippines,
the National Historical Institute, the National Museum, The National Library, the
Records Management and Archives Office, and the Commission on the Filipino
Language. The Heads of these cultural agencies are all ex-officio members of the NCCA
Board and all except the Commission on the Filipino Language are together under the
National Commission on Culture and Arts are working hand in hand with the
Department of Education to openly show how rich is the culture and arts of the
Philippines to the Filipino students for them to be proud and continually preserve and
enrich the Filipino national culture.
Albert Einstein as a scientist and philosopher also recommend that play is part of
success. Having fun and making some relaxation after hard work complete a person.
This is the reason that is why the DepEd still takes care of the physical activities of the
students through sports.
The result of the 2009 South East Asian Games held in Vientiene, Laos shows that
among eleven countries, the Philippines ranked number fifteen. The senate is not
satisfied with this kind of performance that is why they take a closer look to this issue.
January 7, 2010, the Senate committee on Games, Amusements and Sports held a public
hearing to discuss various concerns in Philippine sports. Discussions will touch on the
"dismal" performance of Filipino athletes in international events and how the Philippine
Sports Commission and the Philippine Olympic Committee plans to rectify that in future
stints abroad.
For me the, the standing of our athletes is fine as long as we excel in other areas like
academics, culture and arts. As developing country, we have to take one step at a time,
develop our human resources wherein we know we can excel so that we can take pride
to even one area of competitions abroad.
PART III.
1. Who are referred to as “teacher” in R.A. 4670? Who are not included although they are school

appointment of teachers shall be clearly defined by the Department of Education:

3. Explain the meaning of “exigencies of the service” referred to in Section 6 of the Magna Carta as
regards transfer of a teacher from one station to another.
The “exigencies of the service” is about the urgency need or demand of the service
about why the teacher is needed to be transferred.
4. Are the provisions in Sections 22 and 23 teachers’ rights or privileges?
I think, the Medical Examination and Treatment and Compensation for Injuries, are
rights of a teacher, because a teacher must be healthy and capable of teaching in order
for the classroom to be conducive in learning.

implementing rules and orders in school. And also, I need to make sure, that everything
I’m responsible is accounted for.

teachers?
