Law of obligation and contract.

For a wide range of people, this word means


nothing to them. It does not have any major impact on their lives. It is not a part
of their daily lives and others may not know what obligation they into, but for me
and my classmates and those who take up Law , Accountancy or any business
course, Oblicon is a very big deal it helps us to understand our right as a creditor
and debtor. Though at first I consider law as a scary one because I hate recitation
but at the end of this essay I can say that oblicon is a big help of my developing
self.

This subject Oblicon stands for "Law on Obligations and Contracts." As its
name suggests, it talks about the law. The subject can somehow be overwhelming
with its numerous terminologies and principles as Sir Dico said this subject uses a
lot of jargons. As a student it is necessary for me to exert a lot of effort to survive
in this course but two months to be in this class, I already learned a lot of things.
Things that are not only related to the law but also the things that could be useful
and can be apply in our daily lives.

I learned that there different kinds or subject of law in the Philippines we


have the Divine law which means the law of religion. Natural law or also known as
the low of conscience. Moral law is the totality of the norms of good and right
conduct. Physical law also known as the laws of physical science. State law it is the
law that is promulgated and enforced by the state. I also learned the concepts of
law, the characteristics of law, the functions of law, classification of law where I
have discover there the two purpose of law, the substantive law and the adjective
law. Substantive law tells us out rights while adjective law tells us how these right
may be enforced.
In chapter 1, I learned the obligations general provisions, in which an
obligation was defined as a juridical necessity to give, to do or not to do. I have
learned that in obligation there is a set of rights, the right of a debtor and the
right of the creditor. I was enlighten on the articles I've read and i know that those
articles are still not enough , there are still a lot of articles I haven't read yet. I've
been able to learn and understand the meaning of juridical necessity, the four
requisites of an obligation, the kinds of obligation; the real obligation and the
personal obligation. I have also learned that obligation arises from law, contracts,
quasi contracts, delicts, and quasi delicts.

In chapter 2, I've learned the natire and effects of obligation, I have


understand and memorize some of the articles in this chapter. I've been able to
determine and distinguished specific and generic thing. In this chapter there is
also a lot of remedies and requisites of a debtor and creditor. I may not
mentioned all of my learnings here yet I know in myself that I have learned and I
am learning on this subject

In order to survive Oblicon or even other major subject or venture in life, we


students must be fearless. To be honest, I was very inspired by our Oblicon
professor he had finished his degree and has a lot of achievements I love the way
he delivers his speech everyday, though he is strict and always gives oral
recitation he always inspire us to do better, to make our study habit better and he
always encourage us to strive hard to achieve the CPA tittle after our name.
Sometimes we give him a wrong answer but he'll squeeze you until you blurt out
the correct one or call someone to help you.
That is what we want. What we want is for us to be able to stand up for
ourselves and speak. Given the difficult situation, we should learn to share our
ideas and ask questions. It is normal to be scared and shy when facing a professor
and classmates or situation but if we let the shyness eat us, nothing will happen.
We will be stuck. No learning will flow and no effective conversation will happen
so it will definitely be helpful if we forget about our shyness and learn to find our
voice.

Let's face it. Nobody is perfect. It is not every day that we will be praised by
our professors or anyone at all. We will say silly things and wrong answers and
out of which, we could receive words and raised eyebrows yet we must acquire
those things as our inspiration to do better. People will question our abilities,
knowledge and skills. Yet, it is okay. It is okay to make mistakes.

We all have good and bad days and sometimes, every day is a bad day but
we should not make the wrong assumption that making mistakes is a sign of
weakness or dumbness. Mistakes are simply roadblocks or bridges which are
made to make us stronger. Honestly I had nervous in every oblicon meetings, I
was so disappointed and frustrated with myself because I knew that I could do
better. I knew that I was above that so I just let myself drown with frustration in a
day. I tried to shake myself and put nervous away but it won't disappear. I had no
choice but to face it and I faced it. I blamed myself for that disastrous Oblicon
class but after which, I decided to just let it go. It already happened and nothing
could change that fact.

When you have a lot of articles to read, to understand and to memories, and
at the day of examination it was like everything is shuffling specially the different
requisites, it is very easy to conclude that it is impossible to finish the reading
assignments. Well, the reassuring truth is that it is possible to read a lot of
articles. All we have to do is to manage our time but it really requires a lot of time
to read again and again to be able to understand these articles of it really mean.
Understanding the articles is enough and one thing I learned from that is to know
what you already know and understand everything by heart is when you feel like
vomiting them, I always relate myself to what I am reading. The principle made
me curious but it helped me a lot. Because of my hectic schedule and assignments
from my other 5 major subjects there's always a time that other assignments
overrides oblicon. In our class in every meeting our professor gives oral.

Lastly, Oblicon opened my eyes to the good side of law. I was able to
understand the different rights we have and the circumstances wherein we could
benefit from them. For me studying law is scary, yes it is but once you would be
able to understand the lessons, especially when you enter in the very prepared
the. Studying law is exciting. It is depressing at first yet you'll enjoy it once you
understand the lesson. It is actually exciting with all of the different situations
given to you to scrutinize.

Also, it is a plus factor when you know your law because you could relate it
to the current issues going on in and out of country. It would also protect us from
the scammers and liars who can defraud and take advantage of us. I have learned
that ignorance of the law is not accepted as an excuse to the court, that's why an
individual should know and have learning’s on law for them to know their right as
a person.
Therefore I conclude that sometimes we need to set aside things we're into
for us to give more attention and focus more on necessary and important things.
Just like us, as student it is important for us to prioritize our studies than going on
a travel, or we must put study first before social media because social media is
very common in our generation, and somehow it is a of the fact that we waste
most of our time in socializing while given our studies lesser time. It is also helpful
for us to discourage our "mamyana" attitude and start to develop the always on
the go, ready attitude.

Before entering into this course, I have thought that it would be easy for me
to adopt the different subject belong to this field, but I was wrong I have enter in
this kind of course where everyone is in difficulties, everyone feel pressured
because of the project and requirements specially in law, but an individual can
lessen its difficulties if we read and read and read with understanding. According
to Sir Dico in order for us to survive the law and accountancy, we must read books
many, many times, and if possible memories everything on it. Life is not easy, life
is difficult and for us to survive we must embrace the fact that we need to make a
move and action to lessen the difficulties of the life we have.
