SUCCESSION

PROF. BALANE
Block III-A

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 1.2
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Jottings and Jurisprudence in Civil Law (Succession) by Balane
- A2015 reviewer
- CHAMP reviewer
- RAM reviewer
- Cases (often, you just need to read his summary in the book, unless the case is
not in it)
- Civil Code (required)
Professors Teaching Style
- Very methodical, concise and clear.
- After midterms, recits are rare and he mostly just lectures.
- Reciiiiit. Super galing niya what is mastery of the subject. Mabilis maasar pag
mabagal sumagot.
- Clean table recits. You're allowed to have all your notes/gadgets during
discussion but once you get called you have to put away everything.
- He expects you to memorize important provisions of the Civl Code verbatim.
- For cases, you have to know the central issue of the case. He is very particular
with this and if you give the wrong issue he can get a bit impatient.
- He gives a midterm quiz which is easy and usually boosts people's grades up.
- His final exam consists of questions wherein you have to compute the legitimes
of the heirs. It can get tricky.
- He's easily one of the best professors in UP Law
- You are required to memorize certain provisions verbatim (minimum
requirement) and sometimes pag mahaba yung provisions like Art. 805) marecite
mo lang yun ng perfect, perfect ka na sa recit.
- Sobrang galing ni Sir. He usually starts with the history of everything. He can
recite spanish/greek/russian (??) kahit na ano atang poem verbatim. Marami
siyang side comments in class na malayo na sa topic pero super interesting
nilang malaman.

Tips
- Read the Champ reviewer andun lahat.
- Just have to prepare well before each class. Memorize all the important
provisions (which are usually marked in the reviewers), and be prepared to get
called every meeting.
- Practice how you recite cases. You have to be ON POINT with the particular
issue. He hates it when you stray off topic. Don't recite unnecessary details.
- Memorize certain provisions of the CC VERBATIM. Start memorizing Art. 805
(he'll ask around 3 students to recite that and give perfect points if you can recite
it precisely)
- Semi-blind na Sir so meron siyang magnifying glass parati. Tapos parating
nawawala yung rubberband niya kahit nakakabit lang sa kamay niya. :)) Super
adorable ni sir balane gusto ko magkastuff toy just like him haha <3
- Dapat yung beadle niyo lalaking pogi. Mahilig siya sa boys so make them sit in
front. di masyado sa girls.
- Mabagal magdiscuss si sir. and you can make it extra bagal pa. he loves history.
he can recite yung buong royal blood line ng england in his sleep. haha!
- Memorize verbatim his favorite provisions and know by heart reserva troncal.
- Memorize codal provis na gusto niya. Have a bibo class! Pakain rin kayo haha

PROF. QUINTOS
Block III-B

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 2.25
Textbook/Materials Needed
- None. But I used Joemer Perez's outline. Nakatulong naman siya and mas madali
intindihin provisions
- I think Balane's book is a must regardless of who you have for Succession.
Professors Teaching Style
- Very chill
- Minimal ang matututunan if hindi mag effort
- Mababaw ang discussions
- Chill siya but they say medyo less chill na siya now.
Tips
-

Impressionist
Wag mag absent or mag miss ng recit. Natatandaan niya.
Volunteer kayo kasi naalala rin niya mga nagvovolunteer
May quizzes.
Mahihirap quizzes pati exams.
Memorize provisions na lang para mas madali ang buhay.
Mahirap ang exams. Super hirap.

PROF. CONCEPCION
Block III-C

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 1.75
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Tolentino is his required text book, but I used Jottings and Jurisprudence on
Succession by Balane, as well as the reviewer available sa Blessings.
- His reviewer from blessings (Concepcion Magic Notes).
- Sir will "require" you to read all books written about Succession but his favorite
are Caguioa and JBL Reyes. If you want a student-friendly book, try Joemer
Perez' book but that has never been referred to by Dean Danicon.
- Joemer Perez outline as supplemental reading and as reviewer for the exam
Professors Teaching Style
- May recits but they don't really matter sa grade. Puro lecture, and sometimes he
asks about the cases. He usually calls the people sitting infront so expect na if
you're the person infront, dapat you're always prepared. Only codals were
allowed sa table, so what we did was to print copies of the codals then place our
notes there. There were also quizzes, mostly announced. Difficult finals exam.
- Lecture style, but will call on people for the first month or so. Really good prof,
you'll really learn. Classes are very enjoyable and he's very funny. However, he
gives low grades (has a ceiling), and his final exam is extremely difficult.
- One of the best teachers you will encounter. Magaling na siya, magaling pa sya
magturo.
- Codal only [no syllabus, scratch paper, etc]. You will have to write your notes on
the codals.
- He will require you to make handwritten digests to be passed before the finals.
Finish them early.
- Before, he usually just lectures and he seldom asks anyone to recite. Today, he
still lectures in class but he will sometimes test the class and point to someone for
recitation (not really graded). The person sitting next to that person will be asked
to recite next and so on.
- He sometimes skips cases but they will be asked in the exam so memorize case
names and doctrines. Only recite impt parts; sometimes, he just needs the
doctrine.
- There are exercises in class and take home assignments.
- For the exams, be very thorough because he wants all issues addressed. He gives
points sparingly.

Mostly lecture type. He will just start with the first part of the syllabus and
continue talking until class ends. Then he will pick up where he left off in the
next meeting.
He calls people to recite in the first part of the sem, but then towards mid and
end of sem, it's just pure lecture. Recits are not graded tho.
Quizzes - usually problem solving.
Finals - SUPER LONG and SUPER HARD. Legit. mostly because the subject
matter is difficult.

Tips
- Study regularly and read the cases (preferably in the original, if you have the
time).
- Listen to his lectures, try not to fall asleep.
- Read tolentino as your basic source of knowledge on Succession.
- Take down notes in class because you'll learn a lot by listening.
- Take note of the cases he mentions because they may appear in the exam.
- DannyCon likes to discuss varying schools of thought on a certain topic, take
note of the school of thought he prefers, or if he has a personal opinion. This is
what you follow when answering his exam.
- Memorize article 805 of the Civil Code on the requirements of a Holographic Will
- He also likes to ask which one word in a codal provision you should remember
or underline
- Study his reviewer well. Study for class, even if you're tempted not to. Listen to
him, because a lot of what he says goes into the exam. Study the computations,
because he makes people compute in the finals.
- Study for his class, do not become complacent.
- Wag balat sibuyas. Masakit sya magsalita sa umpisa pero ganun talaga sya.
Funny naman sya.
- Intel from previous batch: He is a finalist.
- Marami talaga matututunan so wag sayangin ang pagkakataon. Tanong lang ng
tanong.

PROF. JOVEN
Block III-Evening

Grade your professor. 3 1.5


- AVERAGE: 1.78
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Cases lang
- None. But Sir loves JBL Reyes and Balane. So Balane will be a good book.
Professors Teaching Style
- Relies on cases.
- Does a recap of last week's discussion.
- Sir is very efficient and systematic. He is able to finish all assigned cases for the
day. He's also very strict about the facts of the case. His analysis is sometimes
beyond the case so you really need to understand the cases.
Tips
- Not lax at all.
- Study lessons from last week
- Always have with you a Beda reviewer. IF you are called first, chances are, he'll
ask a lot of questions on the topics discussed in the previous session. Answers
are almost always in Beda reviewers. You also need to have a grasp of the codal.
Before he jumps to a new topic, he always discusses the codal first. :)
- Mataas siya magbigay ng grade. Huwag ka lang pala-absent. Walang excused sa
kanya.

PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW

PROF. ROQUE
Block III-A and III-C

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 2.1
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Higgins, Problems and Process
- Brownie, Principles of International Law
- A2015 reviewer and C2015 reviewer
- Karichi reviewer
- Introduction to Public International Law (Bernas)
- Roque notes (Blessings)
- Sirs blog
Professors Teaching Style
- Knows his stuff. Socratic, but does a lot of the talking if you feed him well.
- Recit for cases are not fact-heavy. He's more into the case doctrine.
- Recits. We had a mock moot court that took the place of some of our recits. He
likes food (and dapat may excuse kayo everytime bakit may food for everyone,
like birthday ng blockmate, etc, di pwede na because of him), but he hated our
block kasi we never gave him that much food (we only gave him a small cupcake
for his birthday lol). He's moody.
- Focuses on specific details during recitation. Doesn't mind if people use digests,
but gets annoyed if the digests are incomplete and the class can't answer.
- He was always absent. He's very particular about the cases although it's pretty
much impossible to read them because they're too long.
- Discusses cases in groups, usually with a framework for each topic and which
determines the kind of questions he asks about the case. Know how to compare
the decisions of different cases, and don't forget landmark cases.
- Be ready to skip cases as well (kahit na ang tagal mong binabasa yun huhu).
- Sometimes he will ask for powerpoint presentations which count as recit as well.
- Grade is based on recit and finals. He does not count the MCQ.
- May volunteer reporting.
- Recit every meeting (walang rounds).
- Mahilig sa current events.
- Finals lang na sobrang hirap ang exam. Iyong sa amin, tungkol sa pag invade ng
Russia. Lahat ng tanong dun lang umikot.

Tips
- Digests will suffice. Have excellent digests. Do not settle for mediocre digests.
- Case digests are fine. The Roque Notes will keep you alive. Just make sure that at
least one person in class read the whole case or a longer case digest. He
sometimes asks facts that are not in the Roque Notes. He likes humor. The class
can get by if there's one person in class who can make him laugh all the time.
- He gives good grades. Takes into account the recits, so do well in recits. Keep
him happy with the class in general.
- Intel by previous batches: Read Karichi first then the case digests. For those with
effectivites, list down relevant facts in bulletpoints. Sir won't ask you to recite in
the normal way - facts, issue, ratio. He wants it presented in the same way as
they present in moot courts (ask moot court people)
- [To first time readers of international cases] For ICJ cases and for those who want
to read the originals, read the reviewers first, then the summary (also in ICJ
website), and then the full case . If you want to know the important parts
relevant to the topics, refer to foreign books [2nd flr lib] like Henkin and Harris
which have digests of certain cases.
- You may download ICJ cases from their website. This is in pdf form and is
written in English and French on alternating pages. You may want to
download .doc files without the French translation from other sites (ie.
HeinOnline - available thru Dilnet/lib, JSTOR - Dilnet/lib, Justis - free trial). I
suggest you do the latter because this will lessen the number of pages
considerably and will aid those who will digest.
- Most cases are long but at the very least read the delimitation cases in the
original if you really want to understand delimitation because they have
illustrations. Note however that Sir often makes the class report this.
- For ILM and other cases, look for the cases in the above cited websites. In any
case, Block D 2016 has a soft copy of the cases in Sir's syllabus and you may
contact anyone for a copy.
- Do well in the final exams and always keep Sir in a good mood.
- Bawal siya magutom. Kasabay namin siya mag dinner kasi 6pm to 9pm iyong
class once a week.
- Gusto niya yung mga nagvo volunteer sa moot, reporting, recit.
- Focus niya is UNCLOS.
- Naiinis siya pag di ka man lang nagbasa nung case. Ok lang magkamali sa recit
basta pakita mong nagbasa ka. Mahirap siya magtanong pag nakita niyang di ka
prepared at all. Magiging super mean siya.
- Mabait si sir at sobrang funny. Dapat tumawa ka sa jokes niya pero nakakatawa
naman talaga.
- Dapat may taong taga sagot (savior) pag di talaga alam ng class para di siya
mainis.
- He likes good speakers.
- He can be tactless with his comments, but I suppose it's nothing personal.

PROF. MAGALLONA
Block III-D

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 2.06
Textbook/Materials Needed
- His book on PIL
- Read the cases in his syllabus. Wikipedia can help. :)
- His primer on treaties
Professors Teaching Style
- Recits
- Appreciates/ prefers opinions contrary to the court's
- Does not bring classcards but he knows where each one is seated
- Magaling pero paulit-ulit
- Focuses on just a select number of cases and topics. Particularly, sources of law,
and subjects of international law.
- Medyo sabaw. There's no other way I can put it.
- There's no way you can get the upper hand in a recit. Just try to survive.
- You'll only really take up some of the cases in detail (but in ridiculous detail -- we
spent almost a month on one case), but he makes reference to the other cases in
the syllabus. It might be good to have reference digests in case, just so you can
follow his questions.
- Papers and a take-home final exam form a large part of your grade. No idea how
he grades papers, but he has a 1.75-4.00 range for those. 4.00 = rewrite.
- Mabagal. The same topic/case is discussed for 3-5 meetings. And it's hard to
anticipate the questions he might ask. Also, lumalapit sya sa person na
nagrerecite, mej scary haha.
Tips
- Prepare to submit handwritten essays
- No midterms; final exam take home to be submitted the next morning
handwritten
- Did not flunk anyone from the class
- May Magallona reviewer sa blessings
- His book is useful for recits.
- Have a lot of patience.
- Don't miss class, he remembers if you do. If he asks the class to submit an "essay"
on a topic, it means "paper" na legit, with sources, footnotes, etc., hindi lang
feelings :/

TAXATION 1

PROF. SALVADOR
Block III-A

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 2.2
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Codal, BIR issuances (RR's, etc)
- some used Mamalateo
- Ingles reviewer
Professors Teaching Style
- His lectures are not structured. He doesn't really teach the basics and expects you
to know certain concepts from the start.
- He asks really random questions for recits sometimes that aren't completely
related to the assigned topic.
- I don't think he grades recits. I got called 5 times during the semester and was
not able to say a single word in any of them but still got a relatively good final
grade. I think his sole basis for the final grade is the final exam.
- You have to know the basics because he won't bother teaching that
- Concentrates more on the difficult questions/rationale than the fundamentals
(he's actually a very insightful teacher but not very bar-friendly I guess?)
- Parang sumabak ka sa gyera na wala kang weapons. Sir will not discuss the
basics. First day of class may recit na agad. (pero we think na nonbearing yung
recits) Mahilig siya sa mga exercises on tax avoidance. Board work mostly na
nakay Ingles.
- Mabilis siyang magdiscuss. Be prepared for the first two pages ng syllabus on
your first day. Baliw diba?
- Magulo super hindi mo alam what to study for that day.
- Lecture na biglang may recit.
Tips
- Read and master the Ingles reviewer. It's all you need to pass his final exam.
- If he singles you out and gives you a homework, BETTER DO IT AND DO IT
WELL because he normally doesn't grade recits (I think) but wouldn't hesitate to
give you a 5 if you don't take the homework seriously
- Don't be absent, if possible... or you'll be his "favorite".
- Ingles saved us.
- Mej walang concept of personal space si sir so nakakaooff paminsan.
- Use samplex nag-uulit si sir ng questions. Fair naman yung exams usually kung
ano lang yung diniscuss. Meron siyang powerpoint but hindi niya binibigay sa
students niya.

PROF. LUCENARIO
Block III-B

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 2.5
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Valencia (All your problems come from Valencia)
- Handouts (shell provide them)
Professors Teaching Style
- Magulo si maam but sobrang bait. Just listen to her lectures and yung examples
niya most likely yun din ang exam.
- Kanya kanyang aral ito. Walang matututunan sa lectures masyado.
- Rely siya sa handouts niya.
- She gives you free handouts from different authors and books, so why buy
Domondon or Dimaampao or Vitug or Mamalateo when Valencia is all you
really need?
- Exams every month, or depending on your pace. If sluggish, you'll probably
have three exams for the whole sem.
- Boring. Most students just sleep in class. Darts grade, but the top ten get good
ones. Our grades ranged from 1.5-2.5 as lowest. I never passed a Lucy exam
(9/35-ish scores) but I got 2.25.
- She's really nice. Lumelevel kay Lumba sa kabaitan.
Tips
- Read valencia! and be good to her since sobrang bait niya.
- Chill lang siya at mataas magbigay.
- Basa lang kayo handouts at valencia.
- Hindi namin masyado binuksan ang tax code.

PROF. LAFORTEZA
Block III-C

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 2.95
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Mamalateo, but many of us used De Leon.
- Ingles book or notes
- Any tax book which can guide you with the basics.
- De leon fundamentals of taxation
- De leon income taxation
- Beda reviewer
Professors Teaching Style
- Recits. Sorry, did not like this class so much. Midterms was MCQ na right minus
wrong, finals was computation. She asked us to make an outline of the rates.
- Very complicated.
- Did not learn anything. She can't teach.
- Case heavy syllabus. Recits are mostly on cases (na minsan, 2 lines lang ang
related sa tax)
- Make your recits counts because this is a big part of the grade. You will probably
recite only 1 or 2 times the entire sem.
- She gets distracted so she can start talking about Corpo stuff which you will not
get.
- Don't be fooled by her cute demeanor. haha, she failed a few people in the block.
- Makes students recite for a long period. So if there are a lot of you, a student will
only get to recite about twice or thrice in the whole sem. However, she grades
students really low in recits, especially when people read while reciting. She's
okay, needs a lot of focus but you can learn from her if you study before class.
Gives out the whole range of grades, and if you study well you can get a high
grade.
- Accounting-style.
- You will have a hard time if you have no background in accounting
- Mej sabaw.
- She's very detailed. If you recite a case, try to discuss all the issues related to
taxation.
- She likes to discuss in detail topics which are yet to be discussed so you may get
confused. Take note of what she says because she will state the same when you
get to that topic but don't be confused.
- She grades higher if you don't look at your notes and recite from memory.

She will ask you to make an outline of tax rates to be passed during the final
exams.
She likes to make difficult exams. Try to get on her good side.

Tips
- Study on your own. Sa class namin, she focused on concepts, but our finals was
biglang computation. Memorize rates!
- Study extra hard if you're planning to volunteer for recits. She will spend a lot of
time on the fundamentals part. Very difficult finals (accounting-like exam). She
likes tea and bananas.
- Make sure you study tax on your own, apart from attending and complying with
the assignments for class.
- Her midterm exam was purely true or false, right minus wrong - coverage was
fundamantals of tax, her finals was made up of 2 long fact patterns with
subquestions.
- Try to recite without looking at notes. Study well, and try to memorize rates
because they come up frequently in the recits, and you might need to memorize
for the finals. Our final exam was pure computation, so prepare for that. We also
had no codigo for the rates (even though she had us write them).
- Read De Leon.
- For Funda, De Leon's book is a-okay.
- For Income Taxation, read undergrad books to understand the basics and to
know how to compute. Then read Micky Ingles to get a student friendly
discussion. After that, read De Leon's Law on Income Taxation. The latter has
relevant provisions of the IRR, BIR Rulings and Revenue Regulations in textbook
form so read that. The Tax Beda Mem Aid Reviewer also has updated rates and
Rulings and is also a great reference.

PROF. LORIEGA
Block III-D

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 1.29
Textbook/Materials Needed
- NIRC
- De leon fundamentals of taxation
- De leon income taxation
- Mamalateo
- Vitug books
- Calculator
Professors Teaching Style
- Chill.
- Recit on cases lang then you can assign pa kung sino magrerecit, ok lang sa
kanya. well, alam naman niya na un ung gagawin niyo haha
- Lecture lang si ma'am.
- Recits ay assigned cases.
- Mas okay kung mahilig magtanong iyong class kasi detailed si ma'am sumagot
ng questions.
- Madaming tips.
- Semi-voluntary recits for cases after the midterms (you assign them beforehand).
Excellent lecturer.
- Lectures on the income taxation part. Reads from the text, but stresses certain
points (either it's a practice area, a favorite topic, or a frequent bar question).
- Very fair with the grading, but you have to pass the finals. Tax 1 is not hard to
get, just study well and remember what she bears heard on.
- Tricky exams, but it's all there in the code.
- Love love love Ma'am Loriega. She's very systematic with how she teaches tax
especially when it comes to computation. She gives sample problems then gives
you seatwork to see if you get the concept. Mabait. Very mabait. Not to mention
super smart.
- Lecture. Voluntary recits pero minsan nagtatawag sya randomly (bihira lang
though).
Tips
- Assign the cases and the person assigned should know the case well. Focus lang
sa tax issue para di hassle.

Assigned cases iyong recit so dapat imemorize mo na iyong case mo. Maiinis
siya pag tumitingin sa notes ang nagrerecite. Sobrang bait. Mataas magbigay ng
grade
Listen to everything she says. Everything.
Practice your Math because she likes her computations.
Watch what she stresses or has practice problems for as she's bound to have
questions on those in the exams.
Voluntary ang recit sa cases so decide who recites on which case. Maging bibo sa
class niya. Aralin ang kanyang sample problems and your seatwork especially
for the exams. Read De Leon, and keep track of the revenue
regulations/memorandum orders that have superseded provisions in the codal.
Don't worry if hindi naintindihan ang provisions. Ma'am will explain anyway.
But at least try to read kahit papano.

NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS

PROF. QUEVEDO
Block III-A and III-B
Grade your professor.
- AVERAGE: 2.2
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Campos
- Cases
- Codal
Professors Teaching Style
- No structure as to his lessons. He sometimes jumps to a chapter that he hasn't
even assigned yet so just be prepared to get screwed over.
- Recits are all about confidence. Even if you don't know the case, just look him in
the eye and pretend you do. If he thinks you actually read the case he lets you sit
down right away. Those who start off their recit bad will sometimes have to
recite for more than an hour.
- His final exam is extremely long. Ours took almost 5 hours to finish (with a pizza
break in between).
- Sobrang gulo ni sir magturo. Pati exam niya ganun. Paulit ulit mga lessons and
patalon talon yung mga topics so confused kami sa coverage ng lesson. Usually
tatapusin niya muna yung mga concepts then cases. Pero magulo talaga kasi
hanggang sa last meeting binalikan pa rin namin yung first topic.
- 40 cases assigned per meeting on average.
- Darts sa grade.
- Recit tapos wagas na lecture.
Tips
- Campos' book isn't the easiest book to understand so try to read other textbooks
which are easier to read. For the final exam, just try to master the provisions of
the code.
- Basically have materials ready for like 3-4 chapters of the book because he jumps
from one chapter to another
- For exam, GO CODAL Don't believe that MCQ would only account for 5% (or
whatever % you agree on) of the grade!!! In our case, it seemed to have
accounted for 100% of our final grade.
- Madaling mapagod si Sir kasi sumisigaw siya magturo. Parati rin siyang absent
so maraming make up classes. Crazy sa haba finals namin. Super comprehensive,
18 items, na may 4 unrelated subquestions na may a-j subletters pa na may or
may not be related.

Sabi niya may oral midterms daw siya pero never natuloy. Yung samin ang plan
niya was to have it on the same day as the finals (kagulo diba) pero since 6 hours
na kami nag-eexam hindi na tinuloy ni sir.
Dapat yung beadle niyo malambing :)
And impressionist pala si sir. Make sure na maganda yung first recit niya. Aim
for a flower, kasi ganun siya maggrade (i think i saw a circle, a star, and a flower
- kung ano man yan di ko alam haha)
Negotiable instruments made easy by Abad made nego easier lol

PROF. DISINI
Block III-C

Grade your professor.


- AVERAGE: 1.78
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Campos (yun talaga, he follows the book). And he assigned additional cases.
- C2015 Reviewer
- Codal
- Handwritten notes and digests
Professors Teaching Style
- Intimidating but more likely to tease people. He relies on Campos but assigns
other cases. 70% recit, 20% final exam, 10% attendance. Sometimes he asks weird
questions like questions that require looking at the table of contents for the
answer. He prefers handwritten notes but you can have Campos and your codal
out.
- Campos is the only reference you need. If the case assigned is in Campos, you
don't really need to read the case in the original because he never asked for
facts/ratio which are not in Campos. He does not actually expect you to read the
original cases if they're already in Campos. However, for some cases, you will
have difficulty understanding them without reading the original because those in
Campos are really cut and paste paragraphs. Discern.
- You actually don't need the reviewers because everything you need to know is in
Campos. However, these reviewers have Disini comments which you may
consider in analyzing the case. Read them with caution because Sir may have
changed his mind or his comments may have been lost in translation.
- Much nicer than in Oblicon. You must know exactly what you're talking about or
else he'll twist your words.
- He has blunt, in-your-face comments on your recits. Final exam is difficult.
- He asks a loooooot of hypothetical questions. Mabilis si Sir magsalita and mabilis
dicussion so it's hard to keep up sometimes.
- Lecture, recit. Sobrang bilis magtanong sa recit so dapat sagot ka agad.
- Same as his oblicon style, but more merciful.
- Quick recits as in sagot agad. Huwag ma-rattle. Read the cases he assigned. He
skips cases sa Campos pero never ung mga inassign niya.
- Recits. Be straight to the point sa recits. He doesn't allow digests, but he allows
the book and codal. Hindi ko naintindihan finals nya, lol. And he didn't count
the mcq in our case.

Tips
- Mag-volunteer for recitation during the last day, blanket uno un.
- Always ask yourself what is wrong with the case. He likes alternative views.
- Wag umupo sa harap kasi nakakatakot siya minsan. Sobrang bait at mataas mag
grade. Pag nagpa volunteer siya sa recit, mag volunteer ka.
- Study the cases inside out, but more than anything understand the codal
provisions.
- Face you fears (haha). "Mabait" na sya sa third years, not as scary (daw) as in
Oblicon.
- You'll be forced to study for the semester due to fear, anyway, so just keep doing
that.
- Memorize 1 and 52 of the NIL.
- Do not use the same digests. He will check if they are yours.
- Read Campos thoroughly. Minsan di siya maganda mag-digest, ugh. Mahirap
ang Nego so study it well and learn how to trace where negotiable instruments
go (not where broken hearts go, hahaha). Memorize Sec. 1 and 52 of the NIL. As
in, know them by heart.
- Recit is 70% so yan ang pangbawi mo. Mahirap kasi ang finals. Make perfect
attendance because that can save your grade.

PROF. VASQUEZ
Block III-D
Grade your professor.
- AVERAGE: 1.83
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Campos (required), De Leon (dagdag na lang)
Professors Teaching Style
- Mahirap recit ni sir. Closed notes and madalas malabo questions niya.
- Recit heavy. Magrerecit kayo every session
- Lahat ng nirerecite nasa Campos lang. Though sa iba ibang parts ng Campos
makikita
- Matuto naman kahit papaano. Basahin lang Campos at least twice.
- Doctrine recits; facts not so important.
- Has his own concepts and book in mind. Usually hates De Leon commentaries. If
naipit ka sa recit and you don't know the answer, come up with your own and
say your source is from Campos.
Tips
-

Read campos and master the provision.


Kapag wala ng masabi, provision na lang!
Mahirap recit pero kaya naman. Mawawala bad habits during recit
Impressionist.
Bumawi kapag na 5.0
Generous magbigay ng partial points
Campos lang nang campos.
Memorize provisions.

TRANSPORTATION LAW

PROF. VISTAN
Block III-B and III-D
Grade your professor.
- AVERAGE: 1.85
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Cases
- Vistan reviewer
- Codals
Professors Teaching Style
- Lecture. Mas okay kung magtatanong kayo kasi mag eelaborate siya pag may
nagtanong.
- Very chill during recits.
- Super bait. 1 case/person, a well-detailed digest is enough. Fair grades. Rounds.
- When we had him, he was new to Transpo, but he has experience in Public
Utilities and he's great in the part with Civil Law elements (common carriers,
since he usually teaches Civil Law in the schools he taught prior to UP). He got
better at tying things together at that point-- he might be better this time around
now that he has more experience.
- Exams are fair and comprehensive.
- Ok lang. Know your provisions. Not into that much detail in cases.
- He didnt fail anyone.
Tips
- Drink coffee before class kasi sometimes nakakaantok and there are instances
where feeling ko even si Sir is not interested in the subject hahaha
- Makinig kay sir kasi magaling siya mag lecture. Nakaka antok lang. Sobrang
bait. Medyo mahirap yung midterms namin pero iyong finals kayang aralin.
- Take down notes. He often restates the rule and the important case doctrine.

PROF. CALICA
Block III-C
Grade your professor.
- AVERAGE: 1.95
Textbook/Materials Needed
- He assigns cases. He patterned his outline after Agbayani, so some people used
that reviewer.
- Civil Code
- Code of Commerce
- Other special laws
- Quimbo reviewer
- C2015 Reviewer (Calica outline)
- B2015 Reviewer (Other prof's outline but similar)
Professors Teaching Style
- Night classes, 'nuff said. Chill but probably TOO chill. Likes to ask about the tiny
details to make sure you read the case in the original. Imposes rules at the
beginning of the sem (e.g. no computerized materials on the table except codals)
but is lax in enforcing them (you can get away with it). Likes to bounce a
question from one student to another till he gets the answer he wants.
- He will tackle the concepts first but you will never get to sit until you have
recited a case, usually 1 case only but he will let you recite the next one if you're
good. He is case-focused so be sure to give the correct doctrine.
- If you don't know the answer, he will call another person to help you but he will
get back to you. Remember the sequence by which you were called because
usually, you will recite the case which corresponds to your number in said order.
- He discussed the first part (common carriers) in detail because that's a Bar
subject.
- Super chill, funny.
- Case heavy style of teaching. Concepts can be gleaned more from cases than
from textbooks. Very kind prof. Gives good grades.
- Chill professor but range of grades that he gives is low (2.25-2.5)
- Socratic method, normal recit style. You know your answer is wrong if he calls
another person while you're on deck. But he won't make you sit down naman
immediately.
- Exams are objective and easy if you study your civil code, special laws and cases
well.
- He starts the sem slow so by the last part of the sem, he'll ask people to make
presentations to cover all the topics.

Tips
- Chill lang, pero study regularly pa rin.
- "Handwritten" notes. We just printed sa yellow paper with handwriting font.
- Take note of the cases na he will highlight in class, most likely yun yung nasa
exams nya.
- Nothing of note. It's Transpo and Calica. This will probably be your easiest class
of the sem.
- Just study. Ang bait na nga niya nakakahiya naman.
- Try not to fall asleep in his class. Night classes plus yung boses niya,
nakakaantok. Don't try to bluff, he's class valedictorian and president, as well as
a former PLJ editor, and therefore not easily fooled.
- Sir arrives late in class but don't leave without his go signal. He dismisses on
time so that's okay.
- There's usually one person who gets called every meeting and there are some
who were never called for recitation until they made such fact known to him.
- He has no rounds so beware. Also, the person who always gets called in class is
usually a sure 2 or higher.

PROF. QUIMBO
Block III-Evening
Grade your professor.
- AVERAGE: 1.25
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Cases
- Certain laws and conventions
Professors Teaching Style
- Eats up a bulk of the discussion
- Randomly calls for recitation but almost always calls the same people
- Very flamboyant
- Grand manner lecture.
Tips
- Make sure to memorize case names
- Follow his (very) short outline as it grounds you on the basics
- Codal lang and the Quimbo notes. Ang hirap nya magpaexam though. ;)

EVIDENCE

PROF. SAN PEDRO


Block III-A
Grade your professor.
- AVERAGE: 1.88
Textbook/Materials Needed
- None but I think most of us bought Riano's book. Reviewers are useful.
- Regalado
- Riano
Professors Teaching Style
- Straightforward and structured lectures.
- Reciting cases is also straightforward.
- He's a bit more particular with the provisions so master those before class.
- Final exam is a mix of objective questions and hypothetical situations.
- He likes to dissect ROC provisions
- Likes asking for examples and making comparisons
- Sir would not lead you to the right answer.
- Straightforward si sir. Late siya most of the time and ang aga niyang magdismiss
parati.
- Chill.
Tips
- Just master the provisions and you'll be good. He's a chill prof.
- Provisions are usually harder to recite than cases (digests mostly suffice); always
prepare to give examples/compare stuff.
- For exams, he made us answer questions with 1-sentence answers only
- Crazy nung finals namin, 1 sentence answer!!!!!
- Mahilig siya manghingi ng examples.
- Chill prof. Study lang.
- Kaya niyo yan. Super chill. Rounds naman.

PROF. AVENA
Block III-B and III-D
Grade your professor.
- AVERAGE: 1.59
Textbook/Materials Needed
- Regalado (Basic book needed), Francisco (added knowledge for recit)
- She bashes Riano.
Professors Teaching Style
- Her reputation precedes herself.
- Mahirap recits. Usually 3 sessions long.
- Crucial rin exams. May mga matataas sa recit na nadale sa exams.
- Memorize provisions!
- Avena is the BEST professor you will encounter in UP Law. The most taxing part
is the preparation for class.
- She will call you (but brownie points if voluntary), and ask you to recite for days.
3-4 days are ordinary. 2 days, you're lucky.
- Memorize the codal. Know the cases by heart and be sure you can handle it
when she tweaks the facts to apply various Rules on Evidence using different
factual milieus.
Tips
- Memorize the code and master the cases. Yun lang, there is no other way.
- Pag hindi niyo alam sagot, wag kayo magsalita. Request for more time to think.
Basahin niyo cases in the original at least thrice. Super detailed ng mga
tinatanong.
- Memorize provisions.
- No other advice but to STUDY. Don't bullshit her. She knows her stuff and if you
anger her, well, better drop.
- If she tells you, "You better drop", or "You're not learning anything", well follow
her command as it came straight from the horse's mouth and you'll most
probably already fail. Don't give slow answers, but make sure you think your
stuff before you blurt it out.

PROF. DAROY-MORALES
Block III-C
Grade your professor.
- AVERAGE: 2.63
Textbook/Materials Needed
- None, but we used Riano.
- In doubt, stick to the Rules of Court
- No required textbook but you may consult certain books like Riano, Herrera and
Regalado.
Professors Teaching Style
- Always tardy, makwento, doesn't stay on topic.
- We like to joke that our Evidence Class is actually Intro to OLA.
- She gives announced and surprise quizzes, assignments (ie. write draft forms,
send & mail a letter to your classmate) and exercises.
- She divided us into teams and required as to draft judicial affidavits and
comments/opposition for different parties using an OLA case as our reference
for the facts. She scrutinized these affidavits in class so draft good ones.
- Ma'am has a lot of stories, but they're relevant. Has a lot of practical advice
(actually a good primer for those wishing to do OLA). Gives a whole range of
grades, from 1.5 to 5. She fails a few people or gives them 4.0.
- She always comes to class late, but she checks attendance so be sure you're there
when she is.
- Master your rules on evidence, she will sometimes give quizzes
- She also gives random assignments and always explores possibility of moot
court.
- Exams are okay, she gives midterms and finals.
- Recits, lectures, assignments and quizzes.
Tips
-

It helps to regularly prepare for this class. Be open to learning and listening.
Recite cases as if you're telling a story. The more theatrical, the better.
Passive aggressive ang style. Don't act mayabang when you recite.
Keep a low profile.
Know your judicial affidavit rule.
Study for the exams. Some questions in the exams are case-based. Also, she gives
surprise quizzes every now and then, so prepare for class.
Read the cases, don't contradict her, NEVER interrupt her while she's speaking.
Keep her generally happy with the class. Listen to her. Never yawn in class,
that's a sign of disrespect.

She hates bluffers so if you're not prepared to defend your point, don't pretend to
know whatever she asks. She dislikes overconfidence.
Use 'actually' or 'firstly' sparingly or better yet refrain from using them. Never
use "you".
Don't use phones in class or talk to your seatmate or whatever. Be attentive.
Remember your GMC class. Don't point with your finger.
Volunteer if she asks.
It's actually an exciting class and Ma'am really wants us to learn.
Study on your own. Read Riano.
