Reflection
Why do you think Philippine Constitution of 1987 Under Article XIV provides importance in
your future endeavor?
Often called the "Freedom Constitution", this constitution was intended as a transitional
constitution to ensure democracy and the freedom of the people. The Freedom Constitution
provided for an orderly transfer of power while a Constitutional Commission was drafting a
permanent constitution. The Constitution of the Philippines (Filipino: Saligang Batas ng Pilipinas
or Konstitusyon ng Pilipinas, Spanish: Constitución de la República de Filipinas) is the
constitution or supreme law of the Republic of the Philippines. Its final draft was completed by
the Constitutional Commission on October 12, 1986 and was ratified by a nationwide plebiscite
on February 2, 1987.
The program of GMA which is “Biyaheng Totoo” last December 2009, shown the ten
poorest places here in the Philippines and these are the rural places which are the farthest
communities. It seems that these places are not known anymore by the government because they
even do not know what is happening to the city because of lack of electricity to be updated to
what is happening around them; no school or if there is, two or more hours are needed to reach it
through walking. How can they still think to be educated if the basic food they need is also a
problem.
In other countries especially in Japan, Great Britain and Russia, the state is the one
responsible for the education of the students unlike here in the Philippines, although they claim
that education is free but it’s not. They provide very low budget for education and after that leave
the responsibility to each school to support their program which they call decentralization. Yes,
it’s true that every employee in the school is considered educator but still, self and spiritual
growth must be within each individual to be a good educator to every student inside the
classroom.
Everybody is free to choose any course as long as it’s within their capacity but it is not
controlled by the government because the state is not strict to the policy of colleges and
universities. It is very easy to get a license to put up a school. The government is very lax on the
criteria to meet before building up an educational institution. The outcome of the students
predicts the condition of the country in the future. I think it’s better if the national test like
National College Achievement Examination (NCAE) will be used to identify the students who
are capable to a certain course to take in college.
