One of the best profs na kilala ko.:)

positiveCOMM 3

Hayyy si sir.. All his lessons were things that you can really use in different life situations. I've learned from him that good communication is truly an essential part of lifemore

positiveCOMM 3

Best prof ever!

Only downside is hindi recorded ang kanyang mga sync sessions. SOBRANG dami mong matututunan outside of the module. Yung tipong gusto mong balik-balikan yung mga sinasabi niya because it's applicable to life, and he understands his students. I can't even begin to explain how lucky I am to be in his class last semester.

positiveSPEECH 30

Had him as a prof very briefly pre-pandemic and he's so amazing talaga. I swear to god every class I had with him I felt like I was attending the best TED Talk of my life.more

positiveCOMM 3

Best class and best prof I ever had!

positiveCOMM 3

Mabait, chill pero magaling magturo at marami kang matutunan. Sobrang fun pa ng classes!

positiveCOMM 3

Fun ng mga activities ni Sir. :)

positiveCOMM 3

Okay si Sir Olaes! Prof ko siya nung 2nd sem. Siya yung tipo ng prof na chill lang pero marami kang matututunan at the same time ) Mataas pang magbigay ng grades!more

positiveCOMM 3

Kung gusto mo nang masayang Comm 3 experience, kuhain niyo si Sir Olaes. :)) Hindi ganon ka-heavy yung requirements, sobrang fun yung activities, at matututo ka talaga. Tumatanggap pala siya ng prerog.more

positiveCOMM 3

Sir Olaes is one of the best Comm profs out there. Fun ang class niya and to be honest, medyo light lang din. Nakakakaba yung speeches pero once it's over, parang okay na rin. He'll give you feedback on the things you need to improve.more

positiveCOMM3

One of the best profs I'd had in UP. He's very good and well versed on the topics. He's a bit on the critical side however his comments are justifiable and he delivers it 'smoothly'. His taglines are simply memorable. I quote from one of his catchphrases,"Don't just do it, JUST F**KING DO IT"! Grades are awesome at best.more

positiveCOMM 3

The best si Sir! Kahit na mahiyain ka, okay lang kasi mabait siya. :)

positiveCOMM 3

Sir Marvin is a really awesome teacher. He carries himself well. He is also very friendly all while maintaining good teacher-student relationships. He makes everyone confident about themselves even though public speaking is not what they think they're good at.more

positiveCOMM 3

He fosters a very fun and interactive atmosphere during class and there is much that I have learned in this class, not only about the subject but also about other important things in life which, I think, is very helpful especially for those who need that extra push to really grow as people.more

neutralCOMM 3

Ewan ko pero di ako nag enjoy sa klase niya. Or baka iba kasi approach niya sa amin pero nakulangan ako sa paraan ng pamamalakad niya sa klase. Sana mag push pa siya ng mga estudyante.more

positiveCOMM 3

One of the best profs! Gives very useful criticism on the way you speak. Activities are fun. He has a great way of persuasion.

positiveCOMM 3

Ultimate sa clingyness kapag kay Sir Marvin ka nag-Comm 3! Kahit na halos puro reporting ang klase, maganda pa rin kasi ang daming insights si Sir tungkol sa Comm at siyempre sa buhay. Nakakawala talaga ng kaba yung maraming speeches sa kanya. :D Fun fun class!more

positiveCOMM 3

Very cool prof :). Sobrang matututo kang magspeech and mawawala ang hiya mo.

positiveCOMM 3

the best fucking prof in comm 3.

positiveCOMM 3 ENG

Never akong inantok sa class niya. Lahat ng classes ko natulugan ko na pero kapag Comm 3 na sobrang interested ako makinig kasi ang galing ni Sir Olaes magturo. Aside from the topics kasi, madami siyang life lessons na tinuturo. He gives constructive criticisms which are really very helpful and he gives credit to where it is due. Best prof ever <3more

positiveCOMM 3 ENG

He handled the best class I had during my freshman year. He has very good teaching techniques; you will really learn a lot on how communication is very important in life. :)more

positiveCOMM 3

Medyo nawala hiya ko nung nagtake ako ng Comm 3 kay sir. Hehe. Magaling, magaling.

positiveCOMM 3

Comm 3 is definitely a class I looked forward to each week! Sir Olaes made the class very hands-on: we had no papers to submit (unlike other classes). It was relaxed but also fun and engaging. I learned a lot from him. His criticism was also very kindly given. Super cool siya na prof.more

positiveCOMM 3

Very very very cool prof! For one, magaling siyang magturo. Plus points yung ang ganda ng boses niya haha. The class is very chill yet engaging, as he prefers activities for teaching. I don't think he requires attendance, but sobrang worth it ng meetings with him :)more

positiveCOMM 3 ENG

He gives a lot of meaningful insights and advice about life. His activities are really fun and engaging, so our class was well-bonded. He gives constructive criticism about each student's performance and praises what we do correctly. Take him as your Comm 3 prof and you'll never regret it :)more

positiveCOMM 3

I wouldn't say na chill lang talaga ang class kasi may reporting and speeches, which I guess usual naman sa lahat ng Comm 3 classes. Parang worth it lahat ng effort na ibibigay mo kasi masaya talaga ang classes ni sir. Unoable naman talaga, lalo na kung alam niya na deserve mo. Super fun and relatable si sir. BEST CLASS I'VE HAD SO FARmore

positiveCOMM 3

So far the best prof I've had in UP. Super fun ni sir, relatable, at may life lessons din. May reporting na formal at tatlong speeches + many super fun activities. Mag effort ka lang, unoable talaga. Gives constructive criticism, at talagang you make use of communication in his class. The project was... interesting, in a VERY good way. :Dmore

positiveCOMM 3

super chill class. enjoyed every single meeting!

positiveCOMM 3

Sir will require you to go on "dates" with different people (some of them complete strangers; don't worry: it's completely safe). Honestly one of the most fun classes I have ever taken. The perfect mix of chill and relevant. If you want a prof who motivates you to go to class, definitely take Sir Olaes' class!more

positiveCOMM 3

He's straight to the point, clear. He really helps and pushes students become good communicators. Just be a good class and get on his good side. We've observed that he's harsher on the class before ours (he handles us both).more

positiveCOMM 3

BEST COMM3 PROF EVERRRRR!

positiveCOMM 3

Great prof for the subject! Gives fun but meaningful speaking activities in class. Is the kind of prof that encourages you and really makes you want to do your best. He made staying in school 'til 5:30 on my first sem as a freshie worth it <3more

positiveCOMM 3

kailangan mong mag effort. kapalan ang mukha. pero magaling na prof si sir! masaya palagi sa class niya. kakaiba rin ang mga requirements niya hahaha. kagimbalgimbal minsan. so maghanda ka!more

positiveCOMM 3

<3 DO TAKE SIR MARVS! MAGIGING IDOL MO SYA. Super helpful and sobrang galing in the field that he is teaching :)) Inspirational lagi mga speeches nya :D Unoable just exert efforts and magiging makapal mukha mo for sure :D WALANG LE haha pero masaya naman ang speech exams :))more

positiveCOMM 3

BEST PROF! Learned a lot from him and he always has "quotable quotes" haha Those who did not really do well with speaking usually improve in just a short span because he inspires you to do so. I'm actually not the best when it comes to public speaking, but I can say that I've clearly improved! Super hugot also hahamore

neutralCOMM 3

Nakulangan ako sa Comm 3, pero ok naman yung klase para sa iba. Gusto ko lumipat sa kabilang class kasi masaya sila at may constructive criticism galing sa prof. May bias sa mga estudyante.more

positiveCOMM 3

SUPER FUN PROF! Parang kabarkada lang. He's also very helpful. He gives you notes after each of your reports so you know how to improve. Only requirements are group report and activity related to topic + speech at end of the sem. Only thing is if your classmates are NR, medj may dead air na. Also tends to freecut alot.more

positiveCOMM 3 ENG

Let's Marvin Ray and get it on.

positiveCOMM 3

NO DOUBT, BEST CLASS EVER. Sobrang naging clingy yung X3-1(2016) bc of him. Sobrang value-adding. Follow his advice and do your effort, for sure lalabas ka sa class na siguradong may natutunan. Always put in your heart to your hands and feet lahat ng matutunan and sure na winner ka sa class na ito. : ) luv u sirmore

positiveCOMM 3

THE BEST MIDYEAR BC OF THIS CLASS!!! Sobrang clingy pa ng class namin (X3-1). Talagang nakatulong yung critic ni Sir sa speech. You'll learn a lot abt comm and life in general. HUWAG NA MAG DALAWANG ISIP I-TAKE MO NA! BASTA SOLID THE BEST!!!more

positiveCOMM 3

Super galing ni Sir. Itake nyo sya sa MIDYEAR the best. Although sa umpisa maiistress ka, masasanay at tatawa ka ng tatawa sa class nya. Tsaka d ka rin mahihiya magsalita sa class nya kasi pare-pareho lang kayong nahihirapan haha! ITAKE NYO SYA KAKAPAL NG BLOKE BLOKE MUKA NYO HAHAmore

positiveCOMM 3

I consider myself a relatively confident and enthusiastic speaker, and yet I still learned so much in this class. Sir Olaes has so much presence in class, I probably will never forget when he entered the classroom for the first time and said "Words are more dangerous than bullets". Would take this class again any day just for fun.more

positiveCOMM 3

Super Solid nya na PROF AS IN. Be careful lang sa grammar mo kasi minsan sensitive siya sa ganon. Super naging close yung class dahil sakanya! Super exciting pare! M.A.more

positiveCOMM 3

A bit intimidating at the start (it's the eyebrows) but opens up a lot about himself that you can relate to. He's very understanding and more supportive than you think. Respects all his students. Is good at telling stories to help learn both the coverage and life lessons. Totoo, the most powerful people in the world are storytellers.more

positiveCOMM 3

PUTA NAMAMAKLA TO NG ESTUDYANTE NIYA!!! BWISIT AMPUTA NIYAYA PA KAMING MAG BAR. MAY MATUTUTUNAN NAMAN KASO NAPAKA CLINGY NIYA LITERAL!!!!

positiveCOMM 3

SOLID CLASS GRABE. Ang galing niyang magturo and kayang-kaya ang requirements. Kailangan lang talaga ng confidence sa sarili. He's very considerate din like he'll encourage you kapag nahihiya kang magsalita sa harap.more

positiveCOMM 3

Sir Olaes is one of the best profs I've ever had. He taught us a lot of things, not only about communication and public speaking, but also life lessons that I'll be carrying for life. Magiging clingy at supportive na friends kayo sa class niya at kakapal ng sobra ang mukha mo. You'll explore uncharted territory but it will be worth it, I promise!more

positiveCOMM 3

One of the best profs I've ever had. Class activities are engaging and fun. His lectures are super fun and informative and he wonderfully teaches students to actually speak out and be the best speaker they can be. He cares to take note of each student's strengths and weaknesses as a speaker and challenges you even further. Amazing prof and person.more

positiveCOMM 3

What a prof should be. Comes to class prepared and ENTHUSIASTIC to teach. Very friendly, relatable, and approachable. Going to his class doesn't feel like a chore.more

positiveCOMM 3

BEST. COMM 3. PROF. EVER. Kahit na may anxiety ako, nakapagspeech ako kahit na sobrang nanginginig mga kamay ko to the point na hindi ko na magamit as non-verbals hahaha. I can see my improvement because of sir's lessons at maiaapply mo talaga siya sa totoong buhay. Magiging supportive din ang buong class sa isa't-isa. Take him.more

positiveCOMM 3

Every meeting feels like a TED Talk. It's the type of class you wouldn't want to cut because he explains everything so well! He does more than just teach about oral communication, but you get life lessons worth remembering too! Just don't be shy to speak in public because almost every output is a speech - it's oral communication after all!more

positiveSPEECH 30

vouch na vouch kay sir! fave prof sa first sem ko in UPD! parang bff ko lang si sir ganong level, but may boundaries parin as profs and students. nevertheless, one of the best prof I ever had in my life. If you'd ask me if i-retake ko si sir just because he is the prof? i wouldmore
