1. Atty. Reyes is a legal officer of DepEd

Mindanao. In his office, there is a
complaint filed against Mr. Tuazon a well-
known hardworking teacher who is
allegedly charged with collecting money
from his students. This act is against
DepEd Order Number 41, s. 2012 which
prohibits any compulsory collection of
money from the students. After the
presentation of the pieces of evidence
done by those who filed against him; Atty.
Reyes announced that he (Mr. Tuazon) is
liable for the offense. Thus, he should face
an administrative case in a lower court.
2. Currently, the Government of the
Republic of the Philippines faces different
accusations due to its alleged sponsorship
of indiscriminate killings of supposedly
drug addicts and pushers. According to
some international reports, there are

department hires vigilantes just to perform

this Philippine government’s campaign

against illegal drugs would never become
successful and would only result in fear
among its citizenry.
3. Mang Dindo is a father to eight children.
He earns their living through farming in
the hacienda of a rich young man in San
Pablo City. His son, Levy, is an incoming
grade 11 student; but Mang Dindo doesn’t
want to send his son into Senior High
school, because he believes that enrolling
in senior high school is just a waste of
time and money. Instead, Mang Dindo
urges his son levy to just help him in
doing farm chores so that he (levy) can
help his father to raise their family.
“Education” according to Mang Dindo “is
just for those who can afford it.”
4. Aling Mareng belongs to the marginalized
sector of society. She believes that she
becomes poor because the government
fails to help her in finding a decent job.
She wasn’t able to graduate from college
because of early pregnancy, and couldn’t
able to find a decent job that she wants;
because she lacks the skills needed in the
industry.
5. Leo is a graduating student of BS
Information Technology in a state college
in Laguna. His parents provide all his
needs by working in a government office
in the said province. In finishing his
course requirements for graduation, Leo
needs to upgrade his Laptop’s operating
system so that he can finish the project.
However, upon requesting to his parents,
he is denied of such request, because his
parents believe that as an IT student, he
should know how to maximize the system
in his old Laptop.
