The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers Reflection

Activity # 1
Study the following situations. Explain your answer based on the Code of Ethics for
Professional Teachers
Situation 1: Mr. Thomas N. Jericho, renowned for his honesty and trustworthiness, has
been a dedicated member of the Board of Election Canvassers for the last decade.
Nevertheless, in the upcoming elections, his mother will be running for the position of
barangay captain. Consequently, he is being requested to actively support her
campaign. Would it be appropriate for him to engage in campaigning for his mother's
candidacy?
Based on the code of ethics for professional teachers article 5, Section 1. Teachers
shall at all times, be imbued with the spirit of loyalty, mutual confidence, and faith in one
another, self sacrifice for the common good, and full cooperation with colleagues.
Situation 2: Mr. Nilo Jade Ortiz, an experienced teacher with 25 years of service,
declined to attend a significant conference in Mindanao. Whenever the principal asks
him to participate in such events, he consistently requests that another teacher be sent
instead. As a professional teacher, is it acceptable to refuse to attend conferences?
Situation 3: Is Mr. Ricky Dela Cruz setting a good example for his students? Despite
being one of the youngest teachers at Sta. Fe National High School, he spends his free
time with friends and peers. They often gather at internet cafes to play Dota, and visit
gambling dens, and beerhouses. Additionally, he is a regular presence at discos on
weekends.
Situation 4: Madam Esther Ramirez, a teacher III at Malunta Elementary School,
receives a monthly take-home pay of P7,500.00. She decided to borrow money from
Provincial Savings Bank, with a monthly deduction of P3,500. Additionally, she
borrowed money from First Diamond Lending Company, with a monthly deduction of
P3,500. For the first two months, she was able to enjoy a take-home pay of P7,500.00,
as the deductions from the two lending institutions were scheduled to begin on the third
month from the borrowing date. Considering that her take-home pay will not be
sufficient when the deductions take effect, is it appropriate for Mrs. Ramos to borrow the
amount?
Situation 5: In the tradition of celebrating Independence Day, a civic parade is
organized in which schools participate. All teachers and students must attend. Despite
the excitement of Mrs. Kathy T. Selios's students to join the parade, she chose not to
accompany them due to personal reasons. Instead, she instructed the class president to
keep track of the attendance of their classmates. Is Mrs. Selios exempt from being held
responsible for any potential unfortunate incidents involving the students?

coordinated and enjoyable celebration of their barrio fiesta. Is it appropriate for Mr. Pilar
