What to expect: Administrative Law

Professor: Prof. Alfredo Molo III
Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Agpalo, A2015 Reviewer, Beda Reviewer,
Admin. Code Book 7, Constitution, Admin Code books from the library, De Leon
From a range of 1-5 with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, how would you rate
your professor?
Average: 2.82
Scores: 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 4
What can you say about your professor?
Recitation is still random. Agpalo is a useful book but not required. Discussion is based
on the book. General sentiment is that the grades were issued randomly.
Same teaching style as Legal Method. I think same grade binigay niya halos sa lahat.
He talks a lot about non-Admin Law stuff (but are still relevant in your legal profession).
The discussions are simple and straight to the point but he does ask a lot of good
questions that would force you to think outside the box.
When he teaches the subject, he teaches it very well. But 70% of the class is about his
"mission" as a professor to lead students into a healthy practice of profession. More of
like a legal ethics class.
Darts
Mahirap siya timplahin. Very moody. Pero oks naman siya magturo.
"Power trips" on "favorite" students. Try to be low profile during the start of the sem. For
students whom he notices (for example, fell asleep, came in late, laughed when
something wasn't funny, top 5 students in the batch), expect to be called almost every
meeting.
Mas bagay siyang prof sa Legal Method kaysa sa Admin.
Very strict. You can't even look at the clock while he's holding class because he'll think
you can't wait to leave his class.
Got a lot of nice life/lawyer life advice from the prof but very temperemental
Moody in class. Vague basis for final grade
Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the sophomores:
Don't be on his bad side so you don't get called for recitation for more than necessary.
Wala, darts talaga. Sana maswerte kayo sa darts.
Read the reviewers. They do help.
Read books outside of the scope of the class for the departmentals.
Pray na maganda yung tama ng darts sayo. And kupal si sir, sana wag ka nyang makupal.
Pero may point naman yung pangugupal niya. And alam mong performance lang yun to
make you a better student. Pero darts talaga si sir.
Yung exam more of application ng lahat ng tinuro niya.
Stick to the law and the cases. That's pretty much it, no need to read annotations.
Get only the gist of the case. He doesn't like going into the details. Also, be on your
toes. He likes hypothetical problems.
Study, look submissive, be bibo but not mayabang, be quiet
I don't think anyone read the entire administrative code. Very few provisions were
discussed, so focus on the doctrines.

Professor: Dean Salvador Carlota
Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: None except laws & cases assigned, A2015
Admin Law Reviewer (for recits and exams), No prescribed textbook, Beda Reviewer, Laws and
Jurisprudence
your professor?
Average: 1.62
Scores: 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4
What
can you say about your professor?

You will learn for sure
When you say the word he's looking for, you're good and he'll take over the discussion.
Canalized
Dean Carlota's Admin Law was definitely one of the lighter subjects during that
semester. His class could be best described as maximum learning through minimum
effort, meaning you could survive the class using the reviewer and/or digests only, not
to mention that Dean Carlota clearly has mastery over the subject.
THE BEST.
His teaching style is very structured. The semester starts out slow but he picks up the
pace once he feels that the class is prepared to handle more cases.
He gives 1 or 2 high grades at the end.
Dean Carlota teaches Admin Law well. After the sem. The student will still remember
the concepts taught in his class.
Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and does not need other materials to discuss the
subject. Comes to class without notes but knows all the cases and the laws.
1 case per student sa recit. Mix of cases and concepts sa exam. Discussion will mostly be
cases.
Memorize his definition of administrative law because it's a useful catch-all response for
his exam. Checks attendance, gives extra points for those who are never absent. I think
that's what saved me from failing because I wasn't able to study for his finals.
Try not to get bored or fall asleep in class because you might miss something. His
discussions are meaty, so take notes. Asks students to memorize certain definitions. Siya
ang master ng Admin. Textbook nyo na yung reviewer niya.
Hes fair. He conducts recitation mainly about the cases assigned. You don't have to be
very particular about all the facts.
study all the cases for real
Read all the cases and note what he says about them. Also, study samplexes.
Nothing except to study
Use the reviewers. Recitations are relatively quick, so focus on the doctrines.
Make sure you stay awake. His classes are usually early in the morning. His mind is still
sharp; do not try to bullshit your way around him. ALWAYS answer the question! Do not
try to work your way around a recit.
One can survive on digests alone. The recitations are very quick -- you must know how to
identify the doctrine. There are even cases when the recitation does not even last more
than a minute.

PLEASE PROVIDE TIPS THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR THE INCOMING
SOPHOMORES
Make a block digest pool and digest the cases before the sem even starts. This way, you
can exert your time during the sem to other subjects such as CivPro. Use A2015's
reviewer. Everything's there.
If you get Dean Carlota, study the cases in advance. Make digests BEFORE class starts.
Digest pool
Likes the basics, or as he says, the "Pepe and Pilar." There is a reviewer at Blessings that
can help.
Memorize the definition of Administrative Law. Has a slight bias towards girls. Lumabas
last year sa finals yung requisites for subpoena. His outline is based on Justice Cortes'
book.
You can just focus on the facts and issues relevant to the subject heading. Always read
the dissenting opinion!
Professor: Jose Layug

Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Admin Law by Cruz
your professor?
Average: 2
Scores: 1, 3
Chill magturo.
Chill. 1 to 2 people recite per class, but they recite a lot of cases. Meron naman digests.
Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the incoming sophomores:
Just listen to him.
listen to the prof, read the cases
What to expect: Credit Transactions

Professor: Prof. Hector de Leon
Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: De Leon Book and Codal
your professor?
Average: 2.44
Scores: 2, 4, 1, 1, 4, 1, 5, 3, 1
Recitation is based on syllabus. His book is too redundant. You can live by the codal.
Exam is easy.
Voluntary recit for cases, and summary before class. Repeats everything you say sa recit.
Follows the rules, 1% per point sa midterms and finals. Madali midterms, MCQ. Also sa
finals madali rin kasi basic yung questions. He is very fair.
He knows everything by heart. He speaks, breathes and eats credit transactions. I like
that he shares to us his work experience that is relevant to the topic, so it is easier to
understand the application of the topics
He's really really good. His lectures are enough for you to make your own reviewer. Just
remember everything he will teach in class because those will be the only ones that will
be asked in the exams. Exams are easy to perfect :)
Chill. :) MCQ for the midterms na 1% of the grade each question. Madali yung finals.
Spoonfeed kung spoonfeed. Very fair. Very nice guy. Hindi namamahiya. Yun nga lang,
he gives the answer agad pag mali ka.
The best. Effective teaching method. Chill recits. He's very nice, so don't abuse it.
He likes making mind maps. He's a bit scatter-brained.
He's so nice! Fair. Does not embarrass students. Exams are based on codal + his book.
Not a hard prof. No need for survival tips.
Read the codal plenty of times because they are indeed helpful.
Read any book while trying to create practical examples in your head. Credit
Transactions is a very practical subject.
Be patient kasi paulit ulit si sir pero it's for your benefit naman. :)
Read his book! And study for the midterms and finals.
Useful subject in the future, particular in corporation/commercial law.
Take note of these maps. Better yet, try getting a copy from an upper batch. Sobrang
unreliable yung textbook niya for his own class. (kind of ironic, huh?)
Just read De Leon and study the codal.

Professor: Prof. Rocky Reyes
Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Credit Transactions by De Leon
your professor?
Average: 3.6
Scores: 3, 3, 4, 3, 5,
What
can you say about your professor?

Very slow pace
He tells a lot of stories.
Prof. Reyes is highly intelligent. However, this does not really manifest in the way he
teaches. He can waste two hours of a three-hour class talking about things that are not
even remotely related to Credit Transactions. He has, in other words, a habit of going
off on a tangent.
Loves to share a lot of stories.
He does not teach. In a three-hour class, you can spend two hours talking about anything
but Credit. He fails a certain percentage of students, regardless of what score they
achieved.
Study the provisions and memorize them if you can
Learn to answer his exams quickly.
His recitations barely make a blip in your grade. Focus on the exams. He usually fails the
bottom 10% of the class, unless a lot of people have already dropped. Given that his
exams are time pressure
Study on your own. He guides rather than teaches. You'll be pressured to study for the
bar. HAHAHA!
Study on your own. You cannot hope to learn anything about Credit from Rocky Reyes.
Be mindful of your scores as well. If you are at or near the bottom of the class in terms
of standing, you had better drop the course.
Professor: Prof. Stephanie Gomez-Somera
Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Somera's book (can be bought at the Law
Center)
your professor?
Average: 2.33
Scores: 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 5
The Devil Who Wears Prada
Prof. Somera is very strict. You have to study well before every session. But rounds ang
recits so prepare well if you know you will get called. Finals is everything.
Fail her finals and you will surely fail her class.
Too strict and intimidating; the material slips from one's mind because of fear.
Very good. Sobrang galing niya

Reminds me of Miranda Priestly from the Devil Wears Prada. Her book is badly formatted
but it's good at explaining concepts.
you will surely learn Credit Transactions and a lot of practical litigation tips. Passing is
not a certainty though, as she one of the most demanding professors in UP Law. Masaya
yung contract negotiation exercise.
Shes scary at first but she mellows down after a few sessions.
Hmm...idk
Read her book for every session and always be prepared for recitation. Don't try to hope
that you won't be called.
There are no shortcuts. Study!!
Read in advance. Study the cases. Review previous subjects like Property Law and
ObliCon.
Memorize her book. Understand the cases well
Make sure you dont just parrot her book. She will ask you to apply the lesson in real life
and ask you for strategies
For the exam, she asked a lot about the special topics - letters of credit,
warehouseman's lien, trust receipt - so study that, we also had a fria question. Fair exam
She wont check your final exam if you dont pass her passing grade sa recitation
Volunteer for reporting
Attendance is checked every meeting
She failed some people in our class. People you didn't expect. So study hard
Masungit during recits, just be respectful and reasonably assertive and you'll be fine. DO
NOT BE MAHIYAIN/GIVE THE APPEARANCE THAT YOU'RE SCARED UNDER ALL
CIRCUMSTANCES. Shows people their recit grades towards the end of the class. She
grades reasonably, unless you gave her the impression that you're mahiyain/scared.
Understand the codal provisions well and you'll do well in the exam. The exam is
important. Just because you have good recits does not mean you will pass the subject this happened to a couple classmates of mine.
Finalist si Ma'am. She looks for ""magic words"". Kung bagsak, bagsak so STUDY HARD FOR
THE FINALS. Wag papasok nang 'di handa. Kayo rin. Pwedeng mag-volunteer, pero
paghandaan. Kung hindi, kayo rin...
Exam niya last year: pledge, FRIA, tapos may interest [yun lang naalala ko]. May
transaction tapos ipapa-identify sa inyo kung anong contract yun. Dapat alam nyo yung
mga elements.
Dean also specializes in Credit kaya most likely 100 items yung MCQ nyo.
Read the assigned pages of her book at least twice. Memorize the articles. She loves it if
you recite without looking at anything.

Professor: Prof. Raul Vasquez
Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Codal, Cases, De Leon/Somera's book
your professor?
Average: 3
Scores: 4, 3, 2
he's ok. whimsical and capricious, but not an asshole. if you can endure the recits, the
exams will more than make up for it. he's very generous with partial points, so just
answer all of the questions (don't linger too long on any one question) and you can pass.
has favorites, more forgiving towards girls, but he isn't, like, extra unfair towards boys
or anything.
Has favorites. Masungit to the guys in the class. Girls should make "pacute" hahaha
Labo kausap, weird questions during recit, but fun prof
credit also encompasses chattel mortgage, letters of credit, trust receipts, warehouse
receipts and financial insolvency and rehabilitation. for these parts, you may want to be
aided by annotations, since they can be a bit complicated.
Use the Block C Reviewer. Brush up on your OBLICON (memorize rescissbile, voidable
and void contracts), PERSONS and PROPERTY. No looking at notes when reciting. No
need of detailed recitation of cases. The summaries in the reviewer will do.
Finish the exam
Professor: Prof. Mark Dennis Joven
Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: None, digest group
your professor?
Average: 3
Scores: 3, 3
a little cranky sometimes, but mabait. Recit is around 1 case per student. Exam
questions have both definitions and enumeration based on codal/landmark cases and
situational.
Listen to him.
Good to take banking with credit transactions. Form a digest group
What to expect: Labor and Social Legislation 2

Professor: Prof. Leo Battad
Textbooks/Materials used for the entire semester: Azucena (optional) and codal, Everyone's
Labor Code by Azucena
your professor?
Average: 2.62
Scores: 1, 5, 1, 1, 3, 4, 3, 2, 5, 1, 1, 5, 2
Requires a lot of diligence. Handwritten notes. Has high standards but a nice professor.
HAND WRITTEN NOTES!! Likes it if students won't read their notes. DON'T EVER APPEAR
IN CLASS WITH OTHER PERSON'S NOTES. (or galingan niyo dumiskarte)
Midterms ang hirap, pero s/he is generous sa partial points for finals na BTW ay cover to
cover!
Enjoyed her class and learned a lot
She is a very passionate labor lawyer and will instil in you the necessary heart for the
laborers. She is very precise and accurate with the labor laws, which is very important
for this kind of subject.
Haha. Alam nyo na yan. Always side on the rights of the workers.
Waste of time.
She has very high expectations from every student. If you can choose to not look at your
notes, then please do, so you can have a higher grade. Be CONFIDENT when answering
questions. Exams are really really hard so study labor everyday.
Sobrang matrabaho si ma'am pero ang dami naming natutunan! <3 Wag uupo sa front row
or sa aisle. Pero good thing din if favorite ka ni ma'am so if may opportunity to
volunteer, go. And dapat galingan mo pag nagvolunteer ka.
Sobrang okay ni Ma'm for Labor 2. Matrabaho, pero worth it. Basta wag ka lang
magpapastandout na kapitalista ka or something.
Totally unreasonable. Really easy questions for her recits, it's just the handwriting that
takes up your time.
She's one of the best if you take her seriously. She has what most other law profs lack:
showmanship. Don't listen to the others when they say that she's a terror prof. She's
neutral. If you pass, you pass because of your own hard work. If you fail, it's all you.
I learned more from her than from Daway. Maybe it's the need to handwrite everything.
BUT THAT WAS VERY TEDIOUS.
Do well in the midterms. Drop if you fail midterms.
Magsulat na kayo based on the syllabus! Mahirap kasi if buong labor code kasi magfflip pa
ng pages, no time for that during recits. Azucena is really helpful. Don't sit in front, or
dun sa last row. Kasi if in front, kayo parati tatawagin. Sa last row, if nobody sits in
front, papaupuin niya kayo doon. (yep that's what happened to me)
Read the codals. The annotations are only helpful with regard to confusing topics.
Write, write, write!
What to expect: Labor and Social Legislation 2

- Please provide tips that you think would be helpful for the sophomores:
Write down the laws and case digests in advance, i.e. BEFORE classes start
Handwritten
You need to think like an employee to understand this subject more. Read the codals and
jurisprudence prudently.
Sulat lang kayo ng notes, and wag kayo mandaya kasi helpful siya lalo na sa finals.
Advise for all those taking Battad -- spend more time understanding the law and the
cases than on writing the provisions verbatim. Hate her
Magsulat na ng codal and RRs habang maaga pa!!!
You can only bring handwritten notes to class. This ain't all bad if you know how to take
notes.
Short lesson on taking notes while studying:
Do: write systematically, succinctly and most of all, write with yourself in mind. Write for
you, not for her. Don't: write the provisions verbatim. It's a massive waste of time and
ink.
Also, don't be afraid to speak your mind.
No need to read the thicker Azucena. The Azucena lite [Everyone's Labor Code by
Azucena] was enough for me--although you really have to read the annotations before
class. Everyone knows that you need to handwrite everything, but focus on writing the
provisions since there are harder questions on the law. For cases, just read the digests
and take minimal notes (except for her favorite cases--take note of the quotable quotes
like that "sesementohan para kahit ipis ay di makakapasok" something) since recits are
just facts-ratio.

Normal pace. Ma'am Daway is very nice as a teacher
she is very nice and very knowledgeable about labor. do not abuse her kindness. her
exams are a bit difficult, but they're fair. she might make you do a group case study of an
employer-union relationship or something similar.
Unlike Professor Battad, she doesn't require handwritten notes (at least when we had
her).
Mabait. Very minimal effort needed. Just come to class having read the provisions and the
digests and you'll be fine.
She is very motherly.
focus on the most important provisions of law, since there are many laws and memorizing
all of them would be futile
CODAL CODAL CODAL. pay attention to the modifications that have been made to the
labor code by the IRR, as well as supreme court interpretations of certain concepts.
jurisdiction is a bit complicated in labor, so pay very close attention.
She gives higher recit grades to those who recite without looking
What to expect: Civil Procedure

Nice with recits. Does rounds until round 2. Exam is easy if you study. You will not learn
from him. This is purely self-help.
MAG-ARAL KAYO KAHIT SOBRANG NAKAKATAMAD SIYA. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT I
SWEAR!!! (Retain the all caps please para intense kasi i swear matalino si Sir pero
masyado siyang mabait (albeit nambagsak siya samin ng 3 students!!!) kaya katamad
mag-aral) AGAIN, MAG-ARAL KAYO MAMATAY KAYO SA MCQ!! But Sir is really smart, and
he knows the subject very well. Kaya makinig kayo sa kanya. His exam questions,
sinasabi niya sa class, so listen to his discussions kahit sobrang boring.
He is an amazing and smart remedial lawyer. The only downside is that he is too smart
to translate everything into simple terms. Sometimes he forgets that we don't know that
much yet about the topic.
Very fast paced.
He's funny but you won't finish the syllabus.
Prof. Eleazar seems to be a brilliant litigator. However, he is not able to impart his
knowledge of CivPro to his students effectively.
Yet another professor who does not teach very well. Be prepared to study on your own.
Eleazar: soft voice, somewhat confusing. Gives equally confusing exams but he says he
grades fairly. Did not return said exams, however.
He's smart but he doesn't teach properly. He expects you to have mastered the subject
when you come to class since he will be asking advance level questions. So it's a selfstudy class. But the brighter side is that you can come to class unprepared (well I guess
he doesn't really grade your recitations) as you can just read off from your reviewers the
answers to his questions and the digests of the cases.
Sobrang boring ni sir.
Hindi siya magaling magmotivate or magpaintindi.
Chill professor. Self-study for the whole sem, you'll just be discussing cases during class.
You can get by with digests, just don't cram everything in the end. CivPro will be very
difficult to understand when you cram it.
Open ended, no structure. Perfect combination for not studying. They say di siya
nambabagsak. It's not true.
Self-study.

Read all sample questions in Riano before taking midterms/finals. Most likely the
question is already there.
MAG-ARAL KAYO. Arellano notes are really helpful. And alam ni Sir na nag-eexist siya =))
Also, Block B 2015 case digests.
Read the ROC over and over again. Memorize if you can.
self-study should be intense
Herrera sucks. Don't waste your time on that book.
Self-study. Some of the questions in the recitations come from Riano, so it might be
useful to read both Herrera and Riano if you have the time.
Study on your own. Prof. Eleazar will rush through remedial law in order to finish it on
time. The exams are also very difficult. Consult the bar questionnaires for exercises.
Eleazar: Read Riano. He has a detailed outline (find this online or ask from
upperclassmen) which will help for the first few weeks of the semester. Beyond that,
Riano!
Codal, codal, and more codal. Same technique you will use for all remedial law subjects.
Makinig kayo sa lectures niya kahit walang incentive. Super chill ng recit i think hindi
graded. Pero makinig kayo at mag-aral pa rin sa class kahit na super katamad pumasok.
Basahin mo yung beda at codal, oks ka na.
CODAL
Start with the rules of court, go to the cases, read the annotations only if you don't
understand the rule. Civ Pro is a gargantuan subject. It won't help if you rely on this
professor to learn. You'll have to study almost entirely on your own here.
Self. Study.

it seems like he focuses on cases, but actually roc is the most important to him (as it
should tbh). he will keep calling people until someone says the right answer. he's nice,
won't shout or anything like that. group reports supplement classes.
He's slow in moving on in the outline, so he'll probably just lecture on the last few
page(s) by himself in the last meeting(s) without having recitations.
Discussions and recitations are very detailed, so note the factual details in cases; as this
is a procedure class. Very lenient and easygoing but asks difficult questions during recit.
Kabisado niya lahat ng kaso as in. Di kayo makakalusot pag di nyo alam yung details. No
one (AFAIK) has seen him get angry, kaya wag nyo na lang subukan. Always comes in late
(so class is always extended); usually does not show up on the first day. Hindi
nambabagsak.

Read the rules of court. seriously. before you even think about reading the cases, read
the assigned rules and sections. unless your professor is ridiculously thorough (aka prof
avena) the chances that you will finish all 71 rules is nil. prepare and study accordingly.
there may be a new set of rules of civil procedure to be promulgated by 2015-6. just a
heads up :)
Calls out people at random, so some may not get to recite until the very end of the
semester. Has a ""handwritten-notes only"" policy, but does not usually enforce it . To be
sure, keep handwritten notes in handy para may ""pantakip"". :D
Exams: Modified true or false; essay.
Jurisdiction lang idi-discuss hanggang midterm; tapos mabilisan na lahat afterwards
(reporting na lang), so self-study na lang.

THE BEST.
Read your codal! Learn his style when it comes to answering his quizzes. You'll learn a
lot if you study well. He focuses on the nuances of the law rather than spoonfeeding you
with everything.

Matrabaho. Laging overtime.
Detail-oriented.
Super detailed when it comes to recitation. Memorize the provisions verbatim. You will
need hardcopies of the cases so you can keep up with her especially when you're on
deck. Recitation will last a minimum of 3 days in order to get a passing grade.
Brilliant but impatient
study hard
She hates people who are unprepared. Mapapa-'sitdown' ka agad, which means you get a
4 or worse 5 as your recit grade.
STUDY HARD and dont lose your mind
What to expect: Agency & Partnership

Professor: Prof. Dionne Sanchez

Reviewer
your professor?
Average: 2.2
Scores: 1, 2, 2, 2, 4
She bases her rules on her impression of the block, whether the block studies hard or
not.
Prof. Sanchez is a good professor, though she is a bit strict. During my time, we were
only allowed to have our syllabi and codals on the desk. I heard that the incoming
juniors were only allowed to have their syllabi on their desks.
She's really nice. The ladies need to up their game since she expects more from you.
She is a good professor and teaches well. She has a clean table policy, so be prepared to
write your notes on your syllabus. Even the codal is not allowed.
If any of your gadgets make sound(s) during class, she'll give a quiz.
Study hard from the get-go and she will be more lenient on materials allowed during
class. memorize provisions on agency.
Master the annotations. Most, if not all of her questions come from De Leon's
annotations. The block must make a good impression, lest her displeasure towards the
class be reflected in her exams.
She may seem nice but do not test her patience! Study for class since it's only once a
week. Do well during recits because it's 50% of the grade! Study your codal for the
exams.
Read the annotations very well, as her recitations are highly dependent on those. Try to
answer as quickly as possible as she is impatient. Lastly, try to make a good impression
as a block. It will determine your grades and the difficulty of your final exam.
