Professor Pacifico A. Velilla took over the presidency of PCC and
in 1960 Attorney Victor dela Torre was designated as PCC's Acting
President. In 1962, Dr. Nemesio E. Prudente assumed presidency and
oversaw major improvements during his time.
In 1965, the site of the Bureau of Animal Industry in Pandacan,
Manila was reserved for the use of PCC through the proclamation ofPresident Diosdado Macapagal. Two years later, President Ferdinand
Marcos also reserved a 10 hectare (24 acres (0.1 km2)) lot in
Bicutan, Taguig for PCC's exclusive use. On 1968, a large area at
Santa Mesa, Manila was authorized for the use and disposition of
PCC. Also, the title lot for its campus in Sampaloc, Manila was
awarded to PCC. On 1971, PCC's Laboratory High School was
transferred to the new campus in Santa Mesa, Manila and the
school's Katipunan Foundation, Inc. was established.
In 1972, PCC reorganized its academic and administrative
policies, followed by the establishment of a satellite campus in
the Bataan Export Processing Zone (BEPZ), Mariveles, Bataan on1975, and another satellite campus in Quezon on 1978. Dr. Isabelo
T. Crisostomo became the OIC of the College on 1973. He would be

Through Presidential Decree (PD) 1341, the Philippine College of
Commerce (PCC) was converted into a chartered state university and
accordingly renamed as the Polytechnic University of the

University President. Prudente had the university's philosophy,
mission, and strategies formulated by a multi-sectoral committee.
He also had a new

university was also democratized, with students actively
participating in making academical and economical decisions. Under
his leadership, the university had improvements done on its
facilities, academics, and had more student organizations
established. These changes cause the increase in enrollment. New
colleges were added over the time.In 1988, the administration took steps to improve the facilities
of all the PUP campuses. The university also established
extensions in Taguig, Romblon and Masbate. It was followed by the
acquisition of a 10 hectare lot adjacent to the campus in Santa
Mesa, Manila.
In 1990, the Center for Distance Learning Education was
established. The school also retained overall championship in both
the SCUAA and PICUAA. The CEA Building in the NDC Compound Campus
was also constructed. Among the achievements during this year
were: assignment of rooms to the student council, completion of
the construction of the Main Library, introduction of new courses,and the institution of several computerization projects.
Dr. Zenaida A. Olonan became the Officer-in-Charge after the
retirement of Prudente on 1991 and was the first lady to serve as
the University President. For a short period time, from July 3-
August 3 of 1992, Dr. Jaime Gellor served as the Acting President.
Dr. Olanan was replaced by Dr. Ofelia M. Carague in 1998, who led
a series of infrastructure improvements in the university. In
1997, President Fidel V. Ramos conferred his support for the
computerization of the university and on 1999, the university
initiated a project for its modernization with the establishment
of the Information Linkages Systems and the ICT Center. The
operation of ICT Center began in 2000 and it was declared a
Microsoft Certified Government Technology Education Center (GTEC).
Also, the university obtained recognition as a Center for
Development in the field of Information Technology from the
Commission on Higher Education and recognized as Virtual Center
for Technology Innovation in Information Technology by the
Department of Science and Technology.

mainly focused on the upcoming centenary of the school and the
improvements of the facilities of the university and its other
campuses.

ng Kabuhayan ng Mamamayan". As part of the celebration and to
highlight the signing of the Declaration of Peace to be put before
the United Nations, the university broke the record for the
world's largest human rainbow consisting of 30,365 students,
faculty, staff and alumni. On 2005, Dr. Dante G. Guevarra became the University President.
His administration that lasted 6 years, from 2005-2011 was tied
with numerous controversies. He failed to obtain an outstanding
rating as the University President and therefore his term was not
renewed. He filed a complaint against 3 officials of the
university including two from the Board of Regents when he was
ousted as the University President. Among the numerous
controversies in his term is the assassination of VP for
Administration Augustus Cezar whose killings was link to his work
as a university official since it is believed that he would
testify against Dr. Guevarra's administration because of graft and
corruption. Cezar was also believed to be harassed during his timeas serving as one of the university's vice presidents. Students
also expressed outrage and dissatisfaction against Guevarra and
his administration.
Guevarra would be replaced by Edicio G. dela Torre, who became
the Officer-in-Charge for only two months while the Board of
Regents searches for a new University President, although this
decision did not fare well among the faculty and students.
Estelita Wi-Dela Rosa became the Officer-in-Charge on
2011replacing dela Torre.
On March 2012, Emanuel C. de Guzman formally sits as the
University President. His administration mainly focused on the
improvement of the university after years of neglect under the
previous administration.

Best Practices
The whole observation session I did during our classes have been
so expository. I noticed a lot of best practices of my critic
teacher. Of course, noted these explicitly knowing that it would help
me someday somehow in my future teaching job.
One of the best practices that I saw in my critic teacher was
that she didn’t leave the classroom without having asked the students if they truly understood the subject matter. I think it was among the
best practices of my critic teacher because she assured that all of
the students learned that day. After all, the learning of the
students is the main responsibility of a teacher.
As I mentioned, my teacher was very emphatic on the cleanliness
of the classroom. She would always instruct as that the class should
already clean and organized before she enters it. This was a concern
of the classroom environment where the students stay to learn.
A teacher is an actor. It means that every teacher should have agood looking physical appearance. My teacher believes so in this. She
didn’t go to her class without improperly groomed. She actually
groomed herself in the faculty room. It was a good practice of her
since a teacher is always on the front of the class.
We could not always expect a teacher of having a perfect
attendance. My teacher, oftentimes have to be absent in a day for
some reasons. However, there was still a good practice on this. It
was because she would instruct us to administer all the classes. I
may not expect sometimes but whenever she felt like she would be
absent the following day, the lessons or activities were already prepared. Hence, the only task for us was to execute those
activities. The best practice here was that, just because the teacher
was absent didn’t mean the student had no lesson to learn that day.
This was not just a practice anyhow but a best principle of a
teacher.
8/13/2019 Case Study on Bribery
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/case-study-on-bribery 16/23
Hermogino, Kevin Esquejo
Bachelor in Secondary Education Major in English 4-1N
These practices constitute the love of a teacher in his/her
profession. It is important to obtain best practices in teaching
since a teacher is the main provider of knowledge. Throughout my
class observation, these habits/manners of my critic teacher were not
changing. She used to be a good teacher with these crème-de-la-crème
practices.
Generalization
My 300 hours of class observation has taught me several things
in the matter of teaching. In this manner, I have understood how
learners behave in a classroom. I learned the responsibility of the
teachers. And I understand the value of classroom environment in the
learning of the students. All of these are important elements inteaching-learning process. Thus, it should all be properly exercised.
Importantly, the experience of being a student teacher was such
a rewarding feeling. My class observation was a doorway to enter the
world of teaching. It prepared me to become a good teacher in the
future as I acquired those skills and competence of being such.
Moreover, I have learned so many things on how education ought to be
in school.
I have observed 13 classes per week and it was quite hard for a
teacher to accommodate them all equally. Sometimes, those classes inthe evening were no longer given a lively discussion because the
teacher was already exhausted and stressed. We could not blame the
teacher in this way because they too are human who can be drained
sometimes.
The teaching approach and technique of a teacher vary from class
to class. It is practiced because the diversity of students is being
considered. Students’ interest may changes from course to course.
Thus, all activities that the teacher must carry out should suit
their interest, it is important too that a teacher must monitor the
progress of every student. Talking with them every now and then isadvantageous. Students’ attendance was a very important thing too,
through this a teacher could supervise the presence of the students.
Assignments need to be checked for the next meeting to know whether
the students have studied their homework. All these are part of the
teaching job and require much hard work and patience to fulfill
everything.

Insights
Problems Encountered
There have been countless of problems I encountered during my
observation. It was not that quite severe to be considered big issue.
Further, they needed close attention to address them.
It has been a habit of my critic teacher to come in class late.
But she still comes even if it was 30 minutes left for discussion.
Anyway, there were times when she didn’t give any instruction to us
student teacher and we ended up reporting her that we didn’t give any
lesson to the class. It was a problem since I could not anticipate
what possible lesson or activity I need to undertake to the class.
Second was the disrespectfulness of the class. Of course, not
all of the classes were the same. Some were good and others were
really not that good to me. Disrespectfulness of the class in a sensethat they didn’t recognize the student teacher as the acting teacher
if their teacher was absent. It was a problem because whenever I
teach them lesson, they didn’t show courtesy to e as the teacher.
Hence, the learning environment was set up not in a good manner.
Third, students’ go in and out during the lesson. I think it is
tolerable if the students’ would ask to go out for whatever reason
before/ after the lecture. It was a problem since they were missing
the most important part of the lesson. And that part could not
possibly reteach to them just because they were out of the classroom
during the discussion.
Problems are inevitable in classroom situation I believe that if
a problem arises once then it has to resolve right away to prevent of
appearing again. The problems I encountered were probably the most
common problems in the classroom yet have a big impact to teacher and
students.

Recommendations
The recommendations I drawn out here was based from what I have
observed and seen during my class observation throughout the
semester.
The teacher should be in the classroom on time of his/her
class. It is an obligation of a teacher to be in his/her
destined classroom on the time of his class. It is because
to avoid doubt of the students if the teacher is present
or not on that day.
The teacher should introduce to the students his/her
student teacher formally. Through this, the students shall
be aware of the duty and role of the student teacher in
their class. As a result, the students may not be
disrespectful toward their student teacher.
Upon arrival of the teacher in the class, he/she should
give couples of minutes to his/her students to go outside
for whatever reasons. I recommend this to avoid students
going in and out the class during the discussion of the
lesson.
A teacher knows how he/she can manage administer and maintain a
healthy classroom. It is just that they could forget sometimes these
because of several things they do in a day. Whatever it is, a teacher

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/case-study-on-bribery 19/23

should be keeping in mind that learning should be given to students
its highest possible quality.
III. Others
Myself as a Student Teacher
My student teacher life was awesome and great. It taught me
knowledge and experience at the same time. Observing classes wereactually hard task even if I was just sitting in a corner of the
classroom and listening and looking to the teacher or students.
Sometimes, sitting is the most tiring of the entire task.
At first I was excited because it was the first time I’m going
to observe class officially. The first months were nice, I was just
an observer. The succeeding months were better since I was already
permitted to hold classes day after day. Therefore, it was another
job that made my boring observation tasks a livelier one. Then, it
was followed by series of job such as recording of grades, checking
of papers, consultation of students and a lot more.
These tasks have engraved me of the experiences on what really
the teaching profession is. And it is hard. A quite hard important
job.
I think and believe that I become efficient in my work as a
student teacher. I deserve this complement from my own self. Of
course, I have become so diligent in obeying my superior. As a
student teacher, I was in the state of being a student and a teacher.
It was a double tasking which I experienced. Sometimes, you will be
confused if you will act as a student or a teacher or a studentteacher.
The moment I sit and observe the class was honestly didn’t have
any difference of being a student. However, I felt like I was not
just an ordinary student but an exceptional student. While observing
the class in their classroom procedure, I was also learning from them
consequently. This was me as a student teacher.

Hermogino, Kevin Esquejo
Bachelor in Secondary Education Major in English 4-1N
If given an opportunity to administer a class and teach a
particular lesson was another phase of being a student teacher. In
these times, I felt myself as a real teacher I need not just to
observe but to direct the classroom procedure. Whenever in front of
the class, I always get my voice modulated to be able to hear by
everybody. I have to explain the lesson plainly and explicitly. And most importantly, I have to communicate with students. This was total
teaching job these times. This was me as a student teacher.
Whenever not in class I may be found in the faculty room doing
some checking and recording duties. It was another phase of being a
student teacher. And it felt like you are a student assistant. This
time I have to be so serious in checking and recording grades.
Seriousness was all that matter in this phase. It was actually the
most boring part most especially if there would be a lot of papers to
check. It takes hours to finish them completely.
My entire student teacher life in the university was totally
tiring. Everyday should be supplemented by energy drinks. One thing
that I realized after all is that my duties of being a student
teacher have become part of the learning of our students. This thing
was the rewarding part to me as a student teacher.
My Critic Teacher
My critic teacher my superior and my mentor- Professor Pia Merla
Hilario Esperida. She have been teaching in the university for
several years already. Professor Esperida is definitely an idealistic
and sophisticated teacher. As I mentioned, she is a kind of teacher
who wants everything in best place. A teacher who aimed that someday
all her students shall go to their dreams they deserve.
Professor Esperida was a graduate of AB English from polytechnic
University of the Philippines. At the same university she obtained
her Master of Arts in English Language Teaching. She teaches subjects
like Study and Thinking Skills in English, Speech Communication,Developmental Reading, Cross Cultural Communication and a lot more.
Her academic teaching loads have a total of 13 lasses this first
semester of academic year 2013-2914. In spite of his, she is still
determined to teach them all.
Actually, professor Esperida have a diverse personality as a
person and as a teacher. In the classroom, she is like so serious,

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/case-study-on-bribery 21/23
Hermogino, Kevin Esquejo
Bachelor in Secondary Education Major in English 4-1N
strict and tough teacher. She used to be so earnest in her teaching.
Ma’am could hardly crack jokes in class. The only thing that I think
dislikable in her is that she can easily annoyed and provoked. I may
not noticed sometimes that she was already angry. In times like this,
honestly, I could observe that her enthusiasm and energy in teaching
the subject matter were not that powerful. On the other hand, when ingood mood Professor Esperida is really an ideal teacher. The manner
on how she explained the lesson to the class was so worthy enough hat
all student would have a deep comprehension of the topic. She loves
teaching after all. As a person, Ma’am is an awesome jester. She used
to tlk to us about entertainment. Laugh at us oftentimes. A note of a
happy-go-lucky person. Occasionally, she gives us food for lunch or
snacks. A very loving person.
Best experience with Ma’am Pia was her advising time to us. She
used to talk with us every end of classes in a day. She would ask us
as of what we have observed on that day. Then she would give herfeedback and advice. Throughout my stay with her, I found myself so
happy and lucky because I have a critic teacher like her. The best
Ma’am Pia!
My Favorite Class
Bachelor of Arts in English 2-1 was the most lovable class I
held ever. They were the students who obeyed me naturally as if areally am the teacher. This class was awesome because they did
respect me even not in school time. The very first time I went to
this class. I have already observed the emerging good attitude of the
students. Students who were so organized and respectful. I didn’t
doubt nevertheless that most of them have really the brains.
Although, frequently they may burst into very noisy class but in time
of discussion you may expect that these students were attentive
listeners.
I consider them as my favorite because they were totally
different from other classes. ABE 2-1 have the most diverse studentsand yet they could handle their differences. During discussions,
these students have the best mind. They participate actively in all
activity given to them. Most importantly, they don’t disregard any
academic task rendered to them. I actually was telling these students
to continue their competitiveness. They may use this good attitude as
a foundation of being a good person.

My Memorable Experiences
Everyday of class observation was memorable for it gave me an
everyday experience of what can be a situation in a classroom. These
were days that were quite weary because everything happening was all
in repletion. Boring days may also be so memorable to me because,
even I could hardly grasp what was happening inside the classroom.
It was our last class in the evening in Speech Communication for
accountancy students, and I and my critic teacher were both tired
because of series of classes we attended before. My critic teacher
was about to discuss some activity on pronunciation of vowels. She
asked a student to rent an LCD projector and speaker because a video
presentation was about to view. Then after they rented, they set it
up. Professor discussed first the fundamental lesson afterwards she
played the video. The class was suddenly become so lively when they
watched it. The video was actually like a nursery rhyme of difficult
vowels. The class was enliven, I and Professor Pia too. So,
eventually the class was sung along with the video. The happiness on
their faces could not be possibly painted. Subsequently, they learn
very much with those simple kindergarten video.
Another memorable experience of mine was when I was directed by
my critic teacher to give the midterm examination to one of our class
in the morning. Professor instructed me to begin the exam at exactly
8:00am but unfortunately I arrived late at class or 15 minutes. So
they started 8:15am. Unluckily, the president of the class has texted
ma’am telling that I have not yet in the class. So, I gave them their
exam and gave the papers to ma’am thereafter. Professor angrily
scolded me why did I give the exam late. That was the most memorable
and embarrassing experience I had.
My practice teaching was the most memorable of all. Since it was
one of the requirements in this course, I had to make it the best
teaching. On that day, I was really prepared and with me were my
beautifully crafted visual aids. It was then 30 minutes late for my

demo teaching and Professor Pia has not yet in the class. I didn’t
have choice but to carry on with my teaching even without the teacher
who would evaluate me. And the time was over. I taught everything to
the class and it was confirmed ma’am didn’t arrive in the classroom.
And I felt like so disappointed with what happened. All preparations
were gone to nothing.
Furthermore, these memorable experiences have enlightened of one
thing. That teaching can be enjoyable and can also be mortifying. I
should be very grateful for these experiences because at least I
experience them.
Comments/Suggestions
The following comments and/or suggestions are merely to express
my sentiments on the different experiences I had during my class
observation sessions.
300 hours is seems to be too long for class observation. It may
be lowered to 200 perhaps so that student teachers could still
focus to their other academic subjects.
It should be made clear the duties and responsibilities of the
student teacher and the critic teacher.
The coordinating teacher should from time to time talk with
critic teacher about the progress of student teachers.
Student teachers as much as possible observe the class inside
the classroom.
Critic teacher should be patient in their student teachers’
entire fault. Keeping in mind that they are still practicing
the real profession of teaching.
