(Onsite) Had him for foreign fil 12.1 back when I was a sophomore and I really loved the way he teaches! He always provided an interesting perspective on language and its origins especially cause he’s a linguist. Attending his class made me feel excited cause I never knew what I was going to learn next. He’s really friendly and explains really well. He isn’t stingy with grading, but to get an A you’ll need to impress him in finals/major requirements. Good luckmore

hello!!! he was my prof for fili 11.1 (filipino for foreigners) and he was super duper nice! he would ask us at the start of the course if we were okay with the requirements and even reduced it to 2 assessments instead of 5 assessments because of suspensions + whenever he was sick. his modules and tasks were very doable (maybe because it was basic filipino lol) and he made sure to keep it as engaging and relatable as possible. he gave us the choice to either have more modules or more synch classes, and i personally was able to learn more during synch sessions. for grading, he was very very accommodating and it’s not hard to get an A, at least for fili 11.1! i’m pretty sure no one got below a b+ unless they really didn’t do anything for the class. he really considered our current filipino skills and didn’t expect too much from us. as a native filipino speaker, it was easy naman, but feedback from my classmates was that they were able to learn loads of basic filipino language + culture din! he also gave tons of feedback for projects, as in paragraphs and paragraphs lol tipong essay na siya. you can tell that he really read and watched everything carefully and cared about making sure that we learned from our projects. overall, super commendable prof! nicest one i’ve encountered so far in admu hehe.
Hello! I took him two years ago for Fili 11 and I super liked his class! Back then our requirements consisted mainly of short quizzes based on the reading for that week. The readings were frequent but not too long so studying them wasn't too difficult, and the quizzes weren't hard either (mostly memorization of some details/terms found w/in the reading) Aside from these quizzes, he also had us do a group presentation and a group paper. For the latter, we were made to discuss about a pop-culture word/phrase and how it is used by Filipinos. The last weeks of class were used for consultations about the paper. Sir also graded pretty leniently w regards to my group's paper as well; we wrote an essay on memes and naka-A kami dun HAHAHHAHAHAH (sir also helped us expound on the points we wanted to make on the paper, so make use of the consultations if there are any!) When it comes to teaching, we could see sir was v passionate about the subject matter. Plus points din also bc he doesnt speak in monotone so class w/him in general is very lively and engaging. He talked a lot about pop culture as well in his Fili 11 class, so he might end up using doing more or less the same thing? (dont quote me on this tho!!) but the stuff sir says during lectures def has a lot more meat than just relying on the lecture slides I'm not sure how much of the above gets translated into his online classes, but for sure masaya siya as a prof! Super chill long as you don't abuse his kindness, lively and interesting lectures, and I'd say A-able as long as you dont slack too hard on the readings if there are anymore

Hello! I had him for FILI 11.1 last quarter and I can say he was a really kind and considerate prof! He was really passionate about teaching us Filipino as well as Filipino culture! In terms of reqs, he was very considerate as he gave us a really minimal workload which comprised of answering discussion boards in the form of short paragraphs or short videos wherein we had the explain what we learnt from the specific lesson! Major reqs consisted of a creative output that documented our linguistic journey with different languages and a cooking vlog! In terms of speaking Filipino, he really encouraged each one of us to simply try our best to speak as much Filipino as we could! He never made it compulsory for us to speak solely Filipino, rather he was alright with us using Taglish or English when conveying our thoughts or answering discussion boards and the major reqs. For synch sessions, we met twice a week as much as possible as Filipino, or any language for that matter, is best learnt through practice rather than self study or written work. Even then, Sir Jomar did not compel us to attend each session but highly encouraged it. TL;DR: He’s a really kind and considerate prof who’s passionate about teaching Filipino! 10/10 would recommend!!more

Very passionate about what he's teaching. He's also super kind and considerate. He's also willing to change deadlines as long everyone agrees to it. He'll tell you that he's easy to talk to and if ever you are caught lacking he'll consult and find ways to get a good grade. Ez A if u don't take his kindess for granted. Other than that, you're in safe hands.more

Hello! I had him for PNTKN 149.03i last intersession. He’s a nice prof, and you can tell that he’s into what he’s teaching. Quite a lot of his requirements are discussion boards where you react to videos or something that he tasks you to read. Tbh, I don’t like watching videos (esp long ones cuz I get distracted easily haha) but the ones he lets you watch are actually really interesting, especially if you’re really into gender discourse. Since we had our class when online classes were still new, he had to make a lot of adjustments to our syllabus. I don’t know if he’s still asking for the same requirements, but we had like 1 individual output and 3 group outputs (2 of which were videos). Overall, he’s a really nice prof! He’s open to consultations and helping you out if you ask. When it comes to grades, his class is A-able if you show that you’re interested in the topics.more
