Sadly, di siya nagbibigay ng feedbacks at gulat na langn daw iba na mababa grades kahit maganda sinubmit na outputs. Di siya nagbibigay feedback at all based sa ibang kakilalamore

negativePHILO 1

RUN. WAG. Sobrang incompetent niya. I don't even know bakit tinotolerate pa siya ng dept niya. SUCKS.

neutralPHILO 11

Not really worth the risk (Philo 11). I got 3 even though I reviewed for his exams. I kept raising my hand for recitation but he never called me.

negativePHILO 1

Take another prof. A lot of Philo profs give uno-line grades din, so kung gwa-conscious ka, Philo 1 is a good subject for bringing up your grades if you have the right prof.

neutralPHILO 1

He's actually very objective in how he grades his students, although his way of teaching isn't very fun to listen to. The only difference is he calls on girls in recitation and barely calls the boys. I know a guy who got an uno in his class, so you can't say he's not objective. He explains parts you don't understand. Don't rely on his reputation.more

Ez life pag lalaki ka, tulog ka lang sa klase. Aral paminsan-minsan, at basahin lang ang libro at exercises goods ka na.

negativePHILO 11

Son of b*tch is an effing pervert. Too sensitive also on quizzes.

positivePHILO 1

I'll admit that he gives us girls an easier time and that I did get an uno. But he will only help you get an uno if you help him first and show him what you can do. He offers numerous methods of teaching us lessons and he really does teach them well. It's only easy if you please him, and I can honestly say that I was satisfied with his performance.more

negativePHILO 11

Save. Your. Life. If I could turn back time, I NEVER, EVER would've taken him.

negativePHILO 11

i wasted my time with this perverted maniac, completely biased and assumes everyone is equal in terms of knowledge and background. complete d*ck

neutralPHILO 1

Sobrang talino ni Sir. Andami niyang alam. Siguro, yung teaching method lang niya ang problema. Pero para sa akin, exaggerated na yung sinasabi ng iba na pervert siya. He just always call girls for recitation.more

negativePHILO 1

No. Just no. Especially if you're female. As a girl, I was very very very bothered with the way he treated me and even just looked at me. He also grades unfairly, and sobrang kakaiba yung exams niya. Verbatim na ewan. Pls save yourself lol.more

neutralPHILO 1

I wasn't really satisfied with the way he teaches, but he really isn't that bad. While he closely bases his lectures on the required textbook, he does provide new explanations and concepts occasionally. He prefers calling girls for recitation, but he will also call boys who volunteer. Exams are a bit hard, but manageable with enough effort.more

neutralPHILO 1

Totoo yung mga sinasabi nila tungkol kay sir pero it was not that bad sa class namin. Palaging discussions lang. Hindi naman ganun kahirap yung mga exams. May final paper. Passable naman kung mag-eeffort.more

positivePHILO 1

di ko alam kung bakit ang daming sobrang negative reviews sa kanya. Medyo boring nga ung class and nakakaantok but sobrang daming matututunan coz di siya titigil until maintindihan fully ng class ung lesson. MADALI LANG EXAMS NIYA BASTA'T MAGETS MO YUNG MGA LESSONS. and yes, girls lagi tinatawag niya. mabagal din ung pacing ng lessons.more

negativePHILO 1

Those perverted comments might be a little over dramatic. Madali lang yung exams, trust me, basahin at intindihin lang nang mabuti. Wag madaliin. That's even considering na tulog ako half of the time na pumasok ako. But I hate how he teaches the class-boring and what-is-he-doing-with-the-chair, and how he has this orientalist mind, tbh.more

neutralPHILO 1

Don't hesitate to take the leap! :)) Actually his topics are informative and he really knows the topic as if he memorized a script of Philo 1 lessons. Umuulit lang minsan. For the exams, listen well, read the book and the readings he'll give (old version ng current book btw) and you'll be okay! Be an analytic philosopher the best as you can!more

neutralPHILO 11

Sobrang hirap ng last exam ng Philo 11! Sobrang unfair talaga mag grade! Sa kanya ko nakuha ang lowest grade ko. :(

negativePHILO 1

Hindi ko parin gets bakit 2.00 lang grade ko kahit matataas naman LEs ko :((((((((((((((

neutralPHILO

Okay naman si Sir. Not as bad as how others describe him. Baka sa higher Philo classes? Medyo boring pero okay naman. Survivable. Not a total nightmare for me. Pero hindi rin naman yung tipo ng klaseng you will look forward to. I'd get him than have no slot at all.more

positivePHILO 11

He knows what he's teaching. Cracking dirty jokes at times is not very unusual. Hanggang dun lang naman, & marami ka talagang matututunan sa kanya if you pay attention to the lesson. Yun lang, if you're a guy & you're a GC, I guess you'd get pissed every meeting. Lol. And yes, all the comments in here about him being pervert are all exaggerated.more

neutralPHILO 1

Magaling magturo kaso nakakabore talaga. Mabagal ang pacing. Easy lang basta naintindihan mo yung concepts. Di siya UNOABLE. 2 LEs and 1 paper lang. Huwag mag-absent.more

neutralPHILO 1

Mabait si sir at ayun puro babae lang talaga tinatawag AS IN (Kala ko talaga hindi totoo yun huhu) (tatawag lang sya ng lalake pag may lalakeng nagtaas ng kamay). Sobrang bagal ng pacing ng discussion na kinailangan pa naming magmakeup class. At palaging on time magdismiss SAGAD MUM. Kung hindi on time, overtime pero mga 3-5 mins lng nmn. GOODLUCK.more

neutralPHILO 1

OA yung mga reviews sa kanya. Sa totoo maayos naman si Sir, nung simula lang talaga mahahalata mo ang pagka manyak niya at ang lagkit ng tingin niya sa mga babae at mga comments niya on sex na nasesegue niya magically sa discussion kahit di talaga related. Pero if masipag ka magbasa ng readings, maeenjoy mo yung class kasi hnihimay niya talaga yungmore

neutralPHILO 11

He knows what he's doing but sometimes nagmamadali siya magturo. The topics are interesting, nakaka-bore lang because of how he teaches it. Laging 20-30 min. late except exams, and yes, he loves girls (lalo na pag-recitation, mostly girls LOL) Take him at your own risk; through a lot of effort and self-study sa class na 'to you'll be fine. :)more

neutralPHILO 1

Lagi girls tinatawag kahit may tatlong lalaki nang nagtataas ng kamay sa harap niya. Mabagal pacing ng lessons pero matututo ka naman. Two tests and one paper lang for the sem yung requirements namin. Okay naman siya kung gusto mo ng chill at babae ka HAHAmore

neutralPHILO 1

ok naman si sir, pag recit oo totoong halos babae tinatawag niya. pero siyempre kung lalaki tatawagin ka pa rin niya basta alam mo sagot, ofcrse. madalas malate. may weird siyang involuntary movement ata na nagagawa sa upuan. (somthing i noticed). mej may ktandaan na si sir kaya siguro ganon. Pero alam niya tinuturo niya. approachable naman.more

neutralPHILO 1

Okay naman si sir. Yes girls lagi tinatawag for recitation, and you'll find yourself memorizing all their last names, but he knows what he's teaching. He teaches by the book and super easy lang. I suggest you sit in front kasi pa-kwento and ma-example siya magturo, so it helps if you can actually hear him.more

positivePHILO 11

1) Hindi manyak si sir - mahilig lang talaga siya tumawag ng babae kasi "magaling sa intuition ang mga babae" 2) M A G A L I N G magturo si sir - hindi ko alam bakit walang nagp-point out nito - detailed siya magturo at talagang nagpapasagot siya ng examples - kayang kaya mo ipasa exam niya kung nakikinig ka sa lessonsmore

negativePHILO 1

Hindi totoo na finafavor lang ni prof yung mga babae sa class niya (tho, girls lang talaga tinatawag niya sa room unless lalake ka pero Physics/Bio Major). Babae ako, nasagot ko naman lahat ng mga tanong niya sa akin, mataas naman quiz ko sa kanya, nag-pasa naman ako ng requirements on time pero mababa yung grade ko sa kanya. Nakakaantok class niyamore

mixedPHILO 11

DON'T LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY NA SURE UNO IF YOU WEAR SHORTS. NOT TRUE. I had girl classmates who got 5. He may like the girl students more because he memorized our names and always asked us for boardwork but YOU have to make an effort to learn the lesson. He's GOOD at explaining the lesson and exam grades are transmuted.more

negativePHILO 1

mahilig ka sa philo? go lang. masipag ka? go lang. BABAE KA? EASY YAN. matulog ka? 2.00 na pinakamataas na makukuha mo.

Di naman sya pervy ah. May tinatandaan syang girls and yun yung palagi niyang tatawagin pag wlang sumasagot, but syempre pinapansin nya din yung nag re-recite. Ma bo-bore ka kasi nagsasalita lang sya & nagsusulat minsan pero sobrang dami mong matututunan. If you took notes & study them, madali lang yung exams! Mej chill. I cant rly say if easy uno.more

Tangina nakakapagod umupo at makinig as in tumubo bigote ko sa sobrang bagal ng oras at boring ng class na 'to, pero kaya siyang i uno, basta nag notes ka.

neutralPHILO 1

Nakakaantok, madalas repetetive na yung sinasabi. Try to move the discussion by asking a question or reciting. For the girls, be ready kayo palaging tatawagin. At medyo malagkit nga minsan tingin ni sir, pero wag na pansinin haha. Overall, okay naman syang prof.more

neutralPHILO 1

Girls lang yung tinatawag niya lagi lalo na pag medyo nakakatulog na or yung nakikipagdaldalan sa tabi pero unfair kasi yung boys pwedeng matulog :( mababa siya magbigay ng grade as in pero sobrang dami naman yung matututunan mo pero mababa pa rin kasi talaga e :(( *hindi totoo yung pag nag short shorts uno na agad. mahirap makauno sa kanyamore

Don't get it wrong na uno na kaagad 'yung mga palaging tinatawag ni Sir (which are girls) because ako 'yung favorite tawagin ni Sir for recit pero I still got the grade that I deserve (based on my exam results plus the final paper na I crammed) YOU WILL LEARN A LOT, I MUST TELL. Mej boring but labanan ang antok and try to absorb whatever he's sayinmore

negativePHILO 1

Worst class ever. Sobrang slow-paced. Kung icocompare mo sa ibang philo 1 classes, sobrang mema ng pagturo nya. May favoritism. Unfair magbigay ng grade. Just nomore

positivePHILO 11

medyo slow-paced sa first few sessions until mag prove na kayo, tuloy tuloy na yun. Di ko gets yung mga tao dito na nagsasabing unfair mag grade si sir coz if anything, nagcu-curve siya kasi mahirap yung exams, legit. worked my ass off days before tapos wala, tres pa rin- curved na yun. worth it kung gusto mo talaga matuto ng philosophy of logic.more

negativePHILO 11

Isa ako dun sa mga girls na lagi niyang tinatawag hahaha. Yung mga boys kahit nagra-raise ng hand madalas, di niya pa rin tinatawag tapos dun pa rin siya sa girls na hindi naka-raise ng hand tumatawag... ewan ko ba. Fairly mataas naman exams ko (compared sa buong class) pero ang baba niya magbigay ng grade. 2.00 lang nakuha ko.more

ETO LANG NANGING PROF KO NA LAGING MATIGAS YUNG TITE. IDOL TALAGA

negativePHILO 11

Sir is literally thirty minutes late before every class. In theory, the class should be easy because he only gives three exams. You get some bonus points for reciting and the only people he calls on are pretty girls This is such a huge factor that a friend of mine had a higher grade than me, despite failing two long tests while I passed both.more

neutralPHILO 12

If ayaw niyong kuhanin si sir dahil dun sa rumors sa kanya, know na he's not actually a pervert or something. Yes, may favoritism. Pero medyo OA yung mga rumors eh. He's actually good with teaching logic. Yung nga lang, mabagal yung pacing niya tapos biglang bibilis kaya medyo mahirap habulin. Basta makinig ka sa klase niya at mag-aral.more

Manyakis na manyakis na manyakis pero fair magbigay ng grade. Nap time for boys. Aral lang ng mabuti sa exams

mixedPHILO 11

This prof is shit like wtf. He's very technical sa format ng proving. Madali lang exam nya kapag nag-aral ka (I got 95% sa 2nd exam but 80% nung 1st). Key is to study the words used for the modifiers para pag trinanslate mo to symbolic yung problem madali lang. 2.25 lang ako kahit 90% above dalawa kong exams. Totoo yung grade bias sa girls.more

positivePHILO 11

He only calls women during recitation, but I don't think it has any bearing on the grade. If you can stay awake in a math class, you can definitely survive his lectures. Lagi siyang late, but once he starts he doesn't stray from the topic. 3 exams, all are quite challenging, but just practice and you will pass. Definitely not unoable.more

mixedPHILO 1

He's an atheist (that's what you can view from his words) and I strongly uphold to my faith. So madalas, nagkakaroon kami ng problema kapag religion ang usapan. He doesn't accept other views unless same perspective kayo. And ino-objectify niya ang mga babae. Nacomply ko lahat ng reqs, high exams, passed the paper and perf attendance. Pero 2.25 akomore

negativePHILO 11

HUWAG NIYONG KUNIN ANG PROF NA ITO! DI KO ALAM KUNG BAKIT GANUN SIYA MAG BIGAY NG GRADE. GRABE STANDARDS NIYA. MARAMI KA NAMANG MATUTUNAN PERO ANG BORING MAGTURO. MAY TANONG SIYA, WHAT IS LOVE?more

misogynist. has biased opinions on european philosophy vs. asian philosophy. dont take him. sayang time sayang pera sayang GWA

neutralPHILO 10

Took his class during midyear. Saks lang. Medyo exaggerated yung mga reviews about sa pagkamanyak niya; some days he'll crack a dirty joke, and the class just laughed along anyway, so wag masyado ma-discouraged sa reviews. EZ yung exam kung nakinig. Yun nga lang, medyo biased sa opinyons, super conservative at times.more

negativePHILO 1

Always came in a couple of minutes before free cut and never dismisses on time, may mga araw pang nageextend kami. CREEPY AF, walang tumataas ng kamay sa class niya so tumatawag siya ng mga tao(girls). Bes, memorize ko na mga family name nila, paulit ulit. Didn't discuss his requirements properly and gave me an INC kasi mali yung format ng paper komore

neutralPHILO 1

The class is actually fine. Madali lang magets yung readings, and na-e-explain naman ni sir sa class yung important points na dapat mong makuha. Madaming nasasabi si sir kaya minsan nalalayo sa topic. If you listen, you'll surely learn a lot. Late nga siya palagi, checks attendance. Exams are objective. Chill class pero hindi easy uno.more

positivePHILO 1

Call it biased because I'm a girl, and I might have gotten his favor because I always sat in front but he really isn't a bad teacher. He teaches really well and if you have any questions, he'll sure have an answer for it. I guess it's the pace of his lectures that could get a little boring but a helpful tip is to have a chug of coffee b4 his class.more

neutralPHILO 1

Although dull and monotonous yung discussion, you know he's intelligent. He's very detailed in explaining the lessons to the point na sobrang bagal ng pacing niyo. I honestly learned a lot of things from him, swear. Re sa grades, di ko alam kung san niya hinugot grades ko eh ang taas naman ng exam ko at present naman ako lagi sa class. JUSTICE!more

neutralPHILO 1

Putangina give chance naman sa boys haha

negativePHILO 12

Don't take him unless you're at the absolute point of desperation. My reasons, however, do not involve his seemingly perverted reputation (he's not);he's just the type of prof who crams lessons. Sir Soberano also gives questionable grades (darts yata) pero i don't mind kasi wala rin akong masyadong natututunan sa kanya.more

positivePHILO 1

FROM A GUY STUDENT: Ang OA naman po ng comments ninyo. May matutunan kaya kay sir. Tapos kapag minsan nakatawa. Well totoo nga na babae lang tinatawag niya, which is weird, pero pwede naman magrecite ang lalaki at hindi naman siya nagagalit. Yung Philo 1 niya nasasakop na ang ibang courses, lagi niya nirerelate yung philo sa engineering, bio, etc.more

positivePHILO 11

Magaling siyang magturo, and most of the time we answer exercises which is good, since logic ang subject. For our class, I don't think naging inappropriate siya on anybody. Yes, he calls the ladies but sometimes he calls the gentlemen, too. Give him a chance y'all.more

positivePHILO 11

Magaling naman si sir magturo.

negativePHILO 12

Narinig mo na siya diba? Oo, totoo - malala si sir. Ang hirap pa ng klase. Nagtatawag siya ng lalaki, pero may preference talaga siya sa mga babae. Yung titig talaga niya sa mga babae kapag tinatawag niya ito - ang lagkit.more

mixedPHILO 11

Logic is Sir Soberano's forte, so magaling siya magturo, ignore mo lang titig niya kung gurl ka HAHA. Grading-wise, may slight bias sa girls at sila ung tinatawag niya 'matic, unless may lalaki na magtaas (girls lang kilala niya). Exams naman keri siya as long as practice-in mo ung mga tinuro niya, di naman OA ung given niya sa exams, sakto lang.more

positivePHILO 11

Logic ung forte ni Sir, so legit magaling magturo. Grade-wise it appears may slight bias towards girls - sila lang ang tinatawag unless may lalaki na magtaas; and girls lang kilala. Exams lang requirement niya, and kaya ung exams kung nakinig ka at nagpractice, hindi OA ung given niya sa exams as in naka-calibrate naman siya nang maayos. Pweds na.more

Hindi perv si sir!

Will teach you page by page from a book he requires you buy (which he may also sell you directly). To be honest, I didn't learn a single thing and felt like I wasted my time. Classes are easy enough to pass though so if you don't mind spending an hour and a half of not learning for a line of 1....more

negativePHILO 11

Ang consideration ni sir ay makikita sa lessons, paulit-ulit niya itong ituturo. Pero if you don't plan on buying a copy of the book, o ipahotocopy man lang ay lagot ka. Practice everyday pag Symbolic logic, trust me you really need the book. He gives 3 exams, and fail 2 and you're done-- Those exams are his only basis for the grades (Exc. Attend).more

Babae lang talaga kinakausap niya during class. Pero outside the class o pagkatapos na pagkatapos he will entertain questions from dudes too. Masaya ang Philo 1 kung gusto mo iyong subject pero with him as prof tapos ayaw mo pa iyong subject (kaso required eh) baka mapilitan ka magdropmore
