Authority to Discipline

• Philippine Legislature Act 2706

otherwise known as the Private

School Law, on the basis of which

the Manual of Regulations for

Private Schools has been

promulgated.

The Manual provides that “every school

is required to maintain good school

discipline” and that it “shall have the

authority and prerogative to promulgate

such rules and regulations as it may

deem necessary from time to time

effective as of the date of their

promulgation unless otherwise specified”.

• For the Bureau of Public Schools, the

source of authority to discipline is

contained in the Service Manual

(1912), its latest edition is 1960.

The Service Manual provides that

“students should be required to be

clean, orderly, courteous and

respectful, prompt, obedient,

industrious and reasonably regular in

attendance”.

“Art 352. The relations between the teacherand pupil, professor and student, are fixed bygovernment regulations and those of eachschool or institution. In no case corporalpunishment be countenanced.

• The Civil Code of the Philippines

expressly recognizes the doctrine of in

loco parentis by providing that

“teachers and professors shall

exercise substitute parental authority”

and “shall cultivate the best

potentialities of the heart and mind of

the pupil or student”.

STUDENT- STUDENT RELATIONSHIP

A harmonious relationship and unity among the studentry is needed.

Students are expected to keep their uniforms clean.

It is the responsibility of the students to have the

uniform jacket and pants/slacks dry-cleaned.

Uniforms cannot be machine washed. Shirts may be

washed and ironed. Students are expected to

maintain good daily hygiene and wear their

uniforms so as not to detract from the overall

military appearance..

Students are to maintain proper body hygiene

and take good care in keeping their body clean.

Tattooing, in areas of the body, (i.e. face, legs)

which would cause the tattoo to be exposed

while in Class A uniform, is strictly forbidden.

Parents are encouraged not to allow students to

receive tattoos or piercing while they are

students at JBLFMU.

Students may wear religious apparel, articles,

and jewellery that are not visible or apparent.

“Religious apparel” is defined as articles of

clothing worn as part of the observance of the

religious faith practiced by the student

• Uphold and protect the image of the university

• Respect their superiors

• Considerate with peers

• wear their complete uniform

• Follow the prescribe 5x3x1 white side wall haircut when attending classes

• Never wear slippers inside the campus

• Avoid loitering in corridors during their vacant periods

• No smoking inside the campus and 50meters outside the campus.

• Help keep the school clean

• Help maintain and preserve school facilities and report any act of vandalism to the proper school authorities

• Wear their school I.D’s on their uniform when inside the campus.

• Avoid engaging in brawls, riots or fighting, joining or organizing gangs, or organization of similar nature like fraternity or sorority.

• Show respect and courtesy to all visitors of the school

• Never bribe your instructors or other school authorities in relation to academic deficiencies

When a student enters JBLFMU-AREVALO,

he/she shall be assumed to possess a high

standard of personal honor and be worthy of

our complete trust. The student need not earn

our trust. As long as the student conducts

himself with honor, that trust will be given and

each student will be considered a lady or

gentleman.

There are certain basic character traits that are a

natural part of the makeup of a lady or a

gentleman. A lady or a gentleman would, at the

very least, always be scrupulously honest,

considering truth and honesty in dealing with

others to be far more important than personal

gain or potential loss.

A lady or gentleman, furthermore, would never

degrade his/her self esteem by unlawfully

obtaining information to further his/her own

goals - what we commonly call cheating; and

further, he/she would never take something for

his/her own which he/she did not rightfully earn

- what we refer to as stealing.

The labels, "liar", "cheater" or "thief” are

inconsistent with the labels "lady" or

"gentleman" and are, therefore, likewise

inconsistent with the title “midshipman.” The

honor and trust inherent in the title

“midshipman" or "Lady" or "Gentleman" is

yours when you enter JBLFMU-AREVALO

community.

1) Instructors Entering/Leaving. When an instructor enters the classroom, the section leader calls the class to attention. "Attention on Deck" Midshipmen stand at attention until directed otherwise by the instructor.

2) General Conduct. At all times, midshipmen conduct themselves in a military manner and await the instructor's invitation to stand at ease, sit down, dismiss, etc. When speaking casually with an officer the midshipman should be standing at a modified parade rest - hands should not be on the hips or crossed in front of the body.

2) 'Attention on Deck" is a courtesy reserved for the Administrator and Dean and should be called when either officer enters or leaves the room.

Reporting

When reporting to an instructor/head of discipline in an office, the midshipman will appear in proper civilian attire and knock on the office door. When acknowledged, the midshipman will

• either state the purpose of his/her visit or request permission to enter the office, center himself/herself six inches in front of the desk at attention, identify himself/herself and the purpose of the visit (e.g., "Sir, Midshipman Jones reporting as ordered", or "Sir, Midshipman Jones respectfully requests to discuss academic problems").

Disciplinary Sanctions • Sanction – is a penalty or punishment

imposed for disobedience to lawfuland valid orders of authorities.

• Section 2 of Executive Order No. 200states that “every student has theresponsibility to recognize and complywith the policies and regulationsconcerning school duties, campusactivities and discipline within theschool”.

• Paragraph 146 of Section IX of the

Manual states the three categories

of disciplinary administrative

sanctions which may be imposed

upon erring students, commensurate

with the nature and gravity of the

violation of school rules and

regulations committed these are:
