social development.
(BA Major in Philippine Studies) Knowledgeable graduates who have in-depth understanding of Philippine Geography, History, Politics,
Arts, and Culture, and current issues with emphasis on Palawan Studies.
The course is intended to facilitate the exploration of the issues and concerns regarding self and identity to arrive at a better understanding of one’s self. It
strives to meet this goal by stressing the integration of the personal with the academic—contextualizing matters discussed in the classroom and in the
everyday experiences of students—making for better learning, generating a new appreciation for the learning process, and developing a more critical and
reflective attitude while enabling them to manage and improve their selves to attain a better quality of life.
The course is divided into three major parts: The first part seeks to understand the construct of the self from various disciplinal perspectives: philosophy,
sociology, anthropology, and psychology—as well as the more traditional division between the East and West—each seeking to provide answers to the
difficult but essential question of “What is the self?” And raising, among others, the question: “Is there even such a construct of the self?”
The second parts explored some of the various aspects that make up the self, such as the biological and material up to and including the more recent
Digital Self. The third and final part identifies three areas of concern for young students: learning, goal setting, and managing stress. It also provides for
the more practical application of the concepts discussed in this course and enables them the hands-on experiences of developing self-help plans for self-
regulating learning, goal setting, and self care.
