truly just read the readings and have notes from it cus most of the time class is just discussing about it and what you got from the readings! maam fil is the best but she does not tolerate students who don’t put it any effort. she also appreciates it when you recite a lot and give a different pov of the readings! tests are also relatively easy and fun once you get a hang of the topics. love maam fil!more

best prof ive ever had in admu! never missed a class even if she doesnt count attendance. topics are really interesting and the way she teaches just makes u wanna listen. always read the readings before class because there are a lot of pop quizzes and heavy weight siya sa final grade. dont ai them because she goes into detail but they’re really short and usually easily digestible naman. learn the theories because it’s important that u apply them properly to the questions. she grades fairly and would say she’s a-able. got a 98 average in that class. love love loveeee ms phil. still carry her lessons to this day.more

If anyone can transform a lecture on a reading about gay furry porn into the most beautiful and tearful course conclusion I have ever witnessed it is her. Every lesson of hers was incredibly awe inspiring. There was not a single reading wherein I knew what to expect out of her lecture. Her analysis on her Fili 12 readings were so far from the generic ones I'd find online and yet somehow they'd make more sense. Her lectures may seem scattered at first and it does take some time getting used to her but slowly they'll all connect into this bigger picture you'll never see coming. For assessments you don't really need to read the readings ahead of time. She discusses them thoroughly during class and if you listen well and take notes from her lectures you'll have an easy time writing for her two essays. She allows you to have a dictionary so there's no issue if filipino isn't your strong suit. As for her quizzes she only had two and one was on an English reading. She announced both quizzes in advance and the questions were just to make sure you read the text so you wouldn't be a burden to your groupmates during group discussions. The questions were simple stuff like what was the name of this character. Her group discussions are kind of stressful thought from experience the challenge is that it's hand written and thus only one person can write so just give the paper to whoever's best in filipino and feed them with ideas. What she looks for in them are the ideas and content rather than the organization and structure anyways. Lastly for her final project instead of the departmental one she made our lives easier and just had us do a podcast. She graded highly assuming you could properly integrate the lessons from her discussions (though she does prefer no scripts and full filipino). Overall for Fili 12 she's A-able. It's also her strong suit (she's said herself she finds Fili 11 boring) so just keep an open mind and prepare to be amazed.more

the best prof ever! i've never been the best at fili, but ms phil made the discussions so enjoyable, and gave so much more depth and perspectives on the readings! she's also very progressive, and talked about contemporary issues openly with us. read the readings (yes there are pop quizzes, but they're usually 2 questions worth 5 points each), participate and recite during discussions even if you aren't completely sure or confident with your filipino (she'll guide you to the right answers), and be as open and respectful as she is, and you'll have the greatest time! she makes you think more, sharper, and wider. fili 12 was my best and favorite subject, taking an 8 am for her was so worth it, and i hope others find her class as inspiring!more

she's okay if your plan is just to network. you get access to so many veteran journalists and key figures in the ph but if you want to actually to learn, choose a different profmore

Anonymous member 524 hi! currently taking her class and she gives the best exposure to us in journalism! Recently, we went to Villamor Air Base to make us experience defense journalism! We also went to ABS-CBN to show us the real-life broadcasting experience. Just like the other review, her broadcast news style is more featurized, but we also had lessons on “direct” style! We had both Filipino and English broadcast writing sessions! A big tip is to watch TV Patrol (Filipino) and The World Tonight (English)! HAHAHA 😅 I’m not sure if they are still on YouTube, but you may also watch the shows of ma’am Pia on CNN Philippines online and listen to how she delivers her lines. For grading, she actually grades high! One of our quizzes was a game! 😬 When she gives her lessons, she is very hands-on! She even brought lego to demonstrate how journalism works (you’ll get it when you take her HAHAHAHA). 🙌 To add, we also had “voicing lessons” in news reporting! She taught us on what words to emphasize and the like.more

TLDR: Her class focuses on TV news-style reporting (like TV Patrol/ANC) with some feature-style elements. If you want a documentary-style journalism experience, consider taking Investigative Journalism (IJ). Just a heads-up: IJ is only offered in the first semester and requires COMM 77 (News Writing) as a prerequisite, so you must complete COMM 77 before enlisting!more
