SELECTION 1: ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES


1
The Philippines have faced numerous trials and ordeals with regards to its government and the welfare of the people. It
has endured the Spanish, American and Japanese governance. It has suffered through Martial Law. It has faced a huge
number of coup d'états. And it has gone through a lot of corruption. Aside from the mishaps of governance, the
Philippines has also experienced and is still experiencing economic instability. Despite all of these, there may be a
solution to the problems currently faced by the Philippines. The solution may be found in a book that dates back as far as
the 4th century BCE - The Arthashastra. The Arthashastra is believed to be a manual of how to control a state that is ruled
by a king. It contained a variety of topics about management, more specifically, wealth management. Aside from that, the
topics covered are somewhat modern and contemporary although it was written in the 4th century BCE. Through the
years, it had stood its ground as the oldest book on management. The Arthashastra is then a book that can still be used to
address the modern problems faced by the Philippines. This exposition of the knowledge that is known in the 4th century
BCE will aid the Philippines in its quest for good governance and economic stability.

Kautilya on Good Governance: Theory and Application


2
According to the Arthashastra, good governance comes with peace and order which can be achieved through the
collaboration of different factors in a community. The first of these factors is the leader. The leader is the one held
responsible for everything that is happening in a community. In Indian society, the leader or the king plays a very
important role as he is the one leading the nation and thus, must exhibit a lot of virtues. Because the Arthashastra's main
goal is to maintain the welfare of the people, called Yoga-kshema, the leader of the society must work for this goal. This
goal must be the most important priority even against the leader's own needs. This is what true service is all about.

47 | DYCIan College Admission Assessment 1


GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE
3
Considering this principle in the present-day Philippines, all the "kings," from the Barangay Captains to the President,
must be dedicated in serving the people. These "kings" should exercise true service not because they will gain something
from it personally but because it is for the betterment of the people. Quoting from President Noynoy's campaign line,
"Kayo ang boss ko! (You are my boss!)", exemplifies this principle.
4
Aside from rendering service to the people, the king's deference to the law is the second factor. As said before, the king
must be virtuous and must be an example to his people. As what stated in the first chapter of the Arthashastra, "when the
king is active the servants become active following his example. If he is too remiss, they too become remiss along with
him." So, if the king looked up to by the people, humbly follows rules and regulations, so will the people.
5
Also, the king should be morally upright in every way. The Arthashastra provides various traits that describe a good
leader and most of stresses on honesty and trustworthiness. Kautilya gave much emphasis on this issue as corruption
ravaged the Indian society during his time. Even through the passage of time, corruption still remains up to the present
society. According to the Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC), the Philippines is the fourth
most corrupt country in the Asia-Pacific Region. This is truly alarming as the Philippines not only loses its budget to
private individuals, it also loses possible foreign investors. Now, if the president is a part of this corruption in the country,
what happens then to the goal of serving the people? Because of this, the Arthashastra's invokes the people to have a
king worthy enough to be entrusted the welfare of the nation.
6
As said before, the kings of the country not only mean the President, but also the low-ranking officials, such as the
Barangay Captains. These kings should exercise service for the betterment of the people. Because of this, these people
are just as important as the President, hence, they should also possess the qualities stated by the Arthashastra about the
King. According to the article, Summary on Kautilya's Arthashastra: It's Contemporary Relevance, since these officials are
the ones responsible for a project's budget and the details of the work, there must be someone who will be scrutinizing
every part of the official's work not just the expenses but also the output of the project. This will diminish questionable
expenses or inefficient implantation of the project due to the official's irresponsibility.
7
In the Philippines, these officials are the ones from the Senate and Congress who are given pork barrel for project
implementation. In Earl Parreño's article, Pork, pork barrels of the congress were actually intended to avoid the bias
priorities of the national government to rural areas. Because of these, every area is assured of a budget for beneficial
projects managed by these officials. However, because of corruption, these congressmen do "money-saving tactics" to
gain kickbacks out of the budget which produces substandard projects. To exemplify this, Parreño set an airport that was
given fifty-seven million pesos (Php 57 million) in 1993. But, after three years, only one hundred meters of the runway are
paved. According to Representative Teodoro Casiño, "in the 2004 elections, the administration spent an estimated Php
7.3 billion in government funds to ensure Mrs. Arroyo's victory over presidential aspirant, Fernando Poe, Jr.".
8
Aside from this, there is also an issue with regards to the attendance in Congress. Added to that is that some of the
congressmen are not even listening to the speeches given by their fellow congressmen.
9
To remedy these, accountability and transparency is what Kautilya requires of these officials. Looking at the present
Philippine situation, it is of great dismay that most of them are not doing what they should be doing as they are elected to
power. It would seem that they have forgotten why they are in position.
10
The Arthashastra also addresses the magistrates of their jobs. In the 4th chapter it states that, "The magistrate should
be impartial, and decide on a case, remaining neutral between the King and the subjects." This means that they should be
unbiased in every trial or case they are handling no matter who the people are involved. This reflects true justice:
punishing the guilty and releasing the innocent - an ideal justice system where everyone is judged equally. The
Philippines is indeed still very far from this ideal justice system. Take the Maguindanao Massacre last 23 November 2009,
where more than fifty (50) journalists and civilians were killed like animals because of politics. Up to now, no one has been
convicted because the suspects are prominent in the area, if not, the whole nation. Justice has not yet been achieved.
Some cases lasted for decades like the Dacer-Corbito Double Murder Case and still no one has been convicted.
11
Another factor in successful governance is the presence and accomplishments of projects that will improve the nation.
In the Arthashastra, Kautilya presented concrete proposals that must be implemented properly. The most important of
these is the prioritization of education. This is because in any society, having a good number of human capital is
necessary to let the economy run and improve. In the Arthashastra, Kautilya mentioned the requirement of extensive
training of the people in various fields which resulted to a good outcome in those times. At present, the people know how
important education is. In the context of the Philippines, although awareness is there, problems on education still exist.
According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, only twenty-nine percent (29%) of the total tertiary age Filipinos are
studying in college. Numerous news articles have been made regarding the lack of teachers and classrooms in the
48 | DYCIan College Admission Assessment 1
GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE
country, especially in the rural areas. There have been problems in these areas since the day we can remember and yet
they are still present. This just proves that the awareness of the problem is not enough to solve these. Action is what is
really needed.
12
However, for a project to be concretized, proper deliberation must first be done by all the officials to decide whether the
project can cause good to the people and is worth the budget allotment. Through this process, instant-decision-making is
impossible and everyone is given the assurance that the projects have are passed for the benefit of the society. In the
Philippines, we are made to believe that the politicians are "deliberating" the projects. If it is true, we do hope that they are
doing it properly.
13
Also, to assure the people of every official's dedication to service, Kautilya says that the nation's stakeholders must be
the ones to gather feedbacks on the administration's performance. Moreover, the leader should look after his subordinate
official whether they were able to do their job or not. Through this feedback gathering, an evaluation is achieved in which i t
stands as a critique for the administration. And should the administration take note of the critique, it will stand as a basis
for improvement for the years to come. After the evaluation of every official based on their performances, these officials
should be subjected to either a promotion or a demotion. This follows the concept of punishment and reward. Following
this concept is important because aspiring leaders who believe in true service will be encouraged more by the incentives.
In the Indian society during the time of Kautilya, punishment for every corrupt official must be done no matter how high
their positions are. On the contrary, if one performs well on his job as an official, the government will either make him
permanent on his position or promote him. If this concept is to be implemented here in the Philippines, a huge number o f
positions will be subject to vacancy.
14
Lastly, although the Arthashastra's main goal and responsibility is the welfare of the people, Kautilya still includes rules
in his treatise the maintenance of the environment and other living things. This is due to the fact that the Indian society
values all living things because of their belief.

Kautilya on Economics: Theory and Application


15
According to the Arthashastra, there is a strong connection between good governance and the economy of a nation. As
stated in the Summary on Kautilya's Arthashastra: It's Contemporary Relevance, "the end is economic governance while
political governance is the means" (Chapter 2). It means that proper management and good governance has an effect on
the economic aspect of a nation. The Arthashastra then serves as basic guidelines for the proper management of the
economy of the country. Knowing how to manage resources, such as monetary funds, can contribute to the development
of the economy.

16
We have said before that corruption is still present in the modern-day society and in the Philippines. The Philippines
have been affected by corruption because of lack of good governance. However, in order to lessen or eradicate corruption
certain principles must be followed in order to gain good governance which have been stated in the previous section. And
since, the political governance is the means for economic governance, there is a need for good political governance.
17
Kautilya explicitly states that, adulteration of grains, oils, alkalis, salts, scents, and medicinal articles with similar articles
of no quality shall be punished with a fine the sale or mortgage of articles such as timber, iron, brilliant stones, ropes,
skins as superior, although they are really inferior, shall be punished with a fine (Chapter 5).
18
This clearly states that piracy of the products should not be done and practitioners of said act should be dealt with
accordingly. In addition, the need for products whose quality is trusted enough or better is because of the need for
increasing and strengthening of trade with other nations. In addition to achieving this economic development, according to
the Arthashastra, is to ensure the good quality of products, accompanied by reasonable rates which would not only benefit
the consumers but the producers as well.
19
Another factor that has been given emphasis by the Arthashastra is agriculture. "The importance of irrigation and
providing amenities could be taken up on a priority basis. Systematic cropping patterns and irrigation systems followed by
Kautilya is what today's experts need to recognize". Kautilya also recognizes organic farming because of its non-usage of
chemicals. Also, aside from this, it is also necessary to learn different agricultural processes because it will help in the
production and storage of sources that will be used by the people. In the case of the Philippines, agriculture is widely
spread as our climate is perfect for farming and that the lands are extensive enough for farm use. Because of this,
farming is considered as a very important sector and is a major part of the country's economic development. However,
during the last few months, typhoons have destroyed various crops which resulted in a massive loss of agricultural
products. This had affected the farmers and the huge investments are being lost. This is one problem that the country

GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE
constantly faces and it is essential to find ways on how it can be solved. Better irrigation, improved farming processes and
preparedness for such situations can be a big help in achieving this.
20
Lastly, Kautilya expressed in the Arthashastra that a nation would benefit from trade if certain "safeguards and policy
measures" are present (Chapter 7 and 8). Thus, making certain that the trade policies of the country are implemented and
are not abusive for the other parties would ensure the benefits of the nation when it comes to trading. This then promotes
trust and well-being for both parties.

Conclusion
21
With the elucidation by Kautilya, in his book the Arthashastra, about the conditions of good governance, we insist that
the government officials take a look at the world's oldest book on management that contains modern-day ideas of
governance. Knowing that such ideas have been around for the past hundreds of years and that it can be applied to
present-day societies puts us in a better perspective of how to possibly attain the sought-after peace in government. With
this knowledge, the way to our country's good governance has been made clear.

SELECTION 2: ON BEING A LEADER


1
Leadership is a common and quite simple word but rather very difficult word to define due to its complexity and
multifaceted composition. According to Bass (1981) leadership can be defined in different ways: It is an act of influencing
activities of an organized group in its quest to set goals and also to achieve certain goals. He also defined leadership to
mean the influence that somebody exercises in a situation by means of communication in order to attain a specified goal.
However in order to be a leader you require a variety of qualities. A good leader is one who doesn’t know everything:
trying to imagine that effective leadership is related to knowing everything is one of the most dangerous misconceptions in
the field of leadership. So as much as the final decision and responsibility lies with one individual, it is important for
him/her to gather other peoples’ opinions or views and respects them before making a final decision on an issue.
2
To be a good leader one also needs to be open to change. This is one of the obvious factors that take place in life
including areas where we work but has remained strongly resisted by mankind. However effective leadership demands
that we anticipate all changes whether minor or major and respond to them promptly to allow growth to take place. On
other hand however, it is also important to understand some of the attributes associated with bad leadership in life so as
to avoid them completely when one is aspiring to be a leader. In order to be a leader one should avoid being a buddy
boss. This character is normally exhibited when a manger make buddies instead of being a leader after failing to acquire
the recognition of a leader among employees. Experts hold it that bosses can never be buddies with their employees; in
fact their power and authority are always neutralized by friendships. Such relationships are always known to cloud the
objectivity of a leader and hinder his/her ability to correct behaviors, delegate and to hold employees accountable for their
responsibilities, omissions or commissions. As a person strive to climb the ladder of good leadership, it is important to
avoid disorganization at workplace because such behavior always leads to having employees without direction just like
their leaders. In fact disorganized leaders don’t always guide their teams properly because they don’t deliver and manage
their plans and strategies appropriately.

SELECTION 3: PASSION FOR COOKING


1
Cooking is considered a passion by most individuals around the world. This passion became an industry in most
businesses around the world. The hospitality industry is where cooking belongs to. Cooks transformed their passion into a
business by establishing a restaurant and fast food chains around the world. In this way, they can monetize their favorite
hobby, which turned into a profiting business. Many families made their passion into a conglomerate, making them as the
richest and most successful personalities in the hospitality industry. For households who are not into business, their
passion for cooking has one purpose, which is to satisfy the Palatine of their relatives, friends, and family. This is the
reason why there are many secret recipes that are kept by a family chain for many years.
2
As a passion, cooking gradually improves when you are always inspired to make different dishes as a way to satisfy your
partner or family member. Cooking becomes personal when you inject your character to the food that you are going to
make. The personality of a person can easily coordinate with the style and the type of cooking that is applied to each dish.
The reason behind is that when a person gets emotional when they cook, the measurement of each ingredient becomes
compatible with each other, creating a masterpiece that enhances the flavor of the dish. However, if the cook is suffering
from a stressful day, their cooking routine changes because they are more withdrawn to a particular stressor than cooking
a certain dish. This is because the proper measurements are not usually followed, which changes the taste of the food or
the type of the dish being prepared.

3
Passion for cooking is now a serious profession. Aspiring future chefs must undergo a program under the hospitality
industry so that they are qualified to apply as a chef in restaurants. Examples are hotel and restaurant bachelor under
cooking major. If you took a bachelor’s degree in dietitian and know how to cook well, you can be employed into the
hospitality industry. But with the growing number of aspiring chefs, the competition becomes a challenge each year. This
52 | DYCIan College Admission Assessment 1
GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE
is because there are more graduates who are seeking the same job to apply their passion and learned trainings during
their academic years. If you have earned numerous certificates in relation to cooking, your chances of getting hired are
very high because the hospitality industry believes that you have got what it takes to be their next big chef (Pringle, 2012).
4
Cooking takes time and effort before creating an edible masterpiece. This is because each chef should consider the
ingredients before preparing their favorite dish. After the ingredients have been prepared, the measurements are now the
next challenge. As a chef, it is important to consider the measurements of each ingredient because either too much or too
less changes the taste of the food. Customers will become agitated when the taste that they are expecting did not satisfy
their curiosity. In this case, there is an ethical concern because customers can provide a negative feedback against the
food that is prepared. Passion deals with the sense of responsibility whenever a person cooks. The reason behind is that
cooking deals with the right amount of measurement, ingredients, and the culture that can satisfy one’s satiety or palatine
integrity.

SELECTION 4: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SINGING, AN EXCERPT


David C. Taylor
1
Training the voice is one concrete process. Its component features may be considered separately; the cultivation of the
sense of hearing, the acquirement of command of the single tone, and the development of technical skill, each may be
considered apart from its companion processes. But in actual practice the three elements of Voice Culture cannot be
dissociated. The student of singing progresses simultaneously along all three lines. Intelligently directed practice in
singing results in this simultaneous progress. As the voice depends for guidance on the ear, so the ear benefits by the
improvement of the voice. Each advance made by the voice toward the perfect production of tone is marked by a greater
facility in the technical use of the voice. Correct tone-production cannot be directly acquired by the singing of single tones.
This practice would tend to stiffen the throat. Technique and tone-production must be developed together.

53 | DYCIan College Admission Assessment 1


GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE
2
There is a difference between the natural and the properly trained voice. As to the nature of this difference the facts of
empirical observation are borne out by the results of scientific analysis. The natural voice is crude because it is unskillfully
used. A lack of facility is revealed in the untrained singer's handling of the voice. Intonations are imperfect; transitions from
note to note are rough; the whole effect indicates that the voice is not completely under the command of the singer.
Further, the sound of the individual tones betrays faults of production. The tones are more or less throaty or nasal, or
indicative of some degree of muscular tension.
3
A perfectly used voice, on the other hand, convinces the hearer that the singer has full command of all the resources of
the vocal organs. Each tone is a perfect musical sound, free from fault or blemish. The voice moves from one note to
another with ease and with purity of intonation. All the gradations of loud and soft, all the lights and shades of sentiment or
passion, seem to respond directly to the singer's instinctive desire for musical expression. On the physical side the
singer's voice is felt by the hearer to be in a condition of balanced and harmonious muscular activity.
4
When the possessor of a good natural voice goes through a proper course of vocal training, the faults of production
native to the untrained voice are gradually corrected. Wrong muscular tension is imperceptibly relaxed. Little by little the
student acquires facility in handling the voice. Coincident with this progress is the advance toward the correct vocal action.
The transition from the natural to the perfect use of the voice is gradual and imperceptible. There is no stage of progress
at which the operations of the voice radically change in character. At no time does the student change the manner of
managing the voice. Effects difficult at first gradually become easier, simply as the result of practice. This is the only
change that the voice undergoes in training.
5
One influence, and only one, can interfere with this normal development of the voice. This is the involuntary and
unconscious stiffening of the throat. In the normal practice of singing nothing is involved which could cause the throat to
stiffen. True, the first stages of study are usually marked by a slight degree of stiffness, due solely to the lack of practice
and experience. This initial stiffness does not tend to become habitual; it disappears before the student becomes aware of
it, and leaves no permanent trace on the voice. That is, provided mechanical instruction does not intervene, to introduce
the tendency directly to stiffen the throat.
6
As the initial stiffness disappears, and the vocal action gradually becomes smooth and automatic, the voice begins to
take on the characteristics of perfect tone-production. The voice rounds out, the tones become free and true, and in
perfect tune. No excessive throat tension being present, the voice conforms to the correct empirical standard of tone-
production. It gives evidence to the ear of correct support and of open throat. The tones issue freely from the mouth and
convey no impression of throat or nose.
7
As a matter of experience it is known that vocal students generally make satisfactory progress in the first few months of
study. This is perfectly natural. It requires several months for the normally constituted student to grasp the idea of
mechanical vocal management. Gifted with a fine voice, the natural impulse of any one is to sing. By singing naturally the
voice is bound to improve.
