SUCCESSION
PROF. BALANE
Block III-A
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
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
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
PROF. ROQUE
Block III-A and III-C
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
TAXATION 1
PROF. SALVADOR
Block III-A
PROF. LUCENARIO
Block III-B
PROF. LAFORTEZA
Block III-C
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
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
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
-
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. 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.
