 INTRODUCTION

A. A BRIEF HISTORY OF CRIMINOLOGY IN THE PHILIPPINES

CRIMINOLOGY was offered as a course in Plaridel College now known as Philippine

College of Criminology located at Sta. Cruz, Manila. Criminology in the Philippines merely
focuses on describing, analyzing, and explaining the operations of the Criminal Justice System,
namely the Police, Prosecution, Courts, and Correctional facilities. However in the curriculum
promulgated by Commission on Higher Education only five (5) out of Six (6) subjects dealt with
Criminology proper the Crime Etiology and Psychology and Theories, while the rest focused on
Law Enforcement Administration, Criminal Law and Jurisprudence, Criminal Detection and
investigation, Criminalistics and Correctional Administration. That’s the result why no Filipino
Criminologist advances in the theories of Crime causation.

CRIMINOLOGY PROGRAM was one of the parcels of the Criminal Justice Education
(CJE) in the country in accordance with CHED Memorandum Order no.
21 series of 2005. The latter inclusions of other degree programs such as
Law Enforcement Administration, Correctional Administration, Industrial
Security Administration, and Forensic Science as interdisciplinary fields
in criminal justice were rationalized in order to meet the demands of
globalization and dynamics in the field of the study. Among others the
policies and standards are set, which primarily “focuses” on criminology
program. In year 1972 July First Republic Act no. 6506 was authored by
“Cong. Teodulo Natividad” a Criminologist, the law that paves the way to the professionalism of
the Criminology course herein the Philippines and as a result he was entitled as the Father of
Criminology in the Philippines.

B. PRACTICE OF CRIMINOLOGY IN THE PHILIPPINES

The practice of criminology in the Philippines was defined by sec. 23 of R.A. 6506

“SECTION 23. Practice of Criminology Defined. — A person

scientific criminal investigation or public welfare
administration.”

The provisions of sec. 23 R.A. 6506 subparagraph 1 to 5 vividly indicate the practices
and professions of being a criminologist. Notwithstanding the person desiring to engage on it

Note: the words NOT, EXCEPT, OTHER THAN, DOES NOT BELONG, and ALL BUT
ONE simply means that one is not included or does not belong to the group.

NEITHER means NEGATIVE, none of these or none of the above while

EITHER means POSITIVE, all of these or all of the above.

AND MY TIP “Aside from reading a lot of books but because the type of the examination is
Multiple Choice Question you must at least target 9,000 question then, I will guarantee you that
you are going to see you name on the list of board passers”.

REMEMBER!
These two quotations

“Victory belongs to the most persevering” (for Board passers)

and

“Hard work makes a difference” (for Topnotchers)

 TIPS, METHODS AND TECHNIQUES

“There are no limitations to the self. There are no limitations to its potential. You can adopt
artificial limitations through ignorance.”
-Jane Roberts

I. A GOAL.

“Dream to be a Criminologist and a Topnotcher”

Are you dreaming to become a Criminologist? I am a criminologist and I am one of the

living proof and yes I will give you the burden, the burden are herein stated you just need to follow
through it. A glace of my past before I became a Criminologist, when I was dreaming to top the
Licensure exam I often asked from most of my seniors, professors and most of them told me “go
aim to top the board” you have the potential as the board exam came too soon I was not able to
maintain my goal because of many factors and unfortunately I failed to top the board but
fortunately I’d just passed and now I am a criminologist. As I learned that this saying is worth of
credit “Go aim for the stars and if you failed so you will still land on the moon”.

Most of the candidate for licensure exam aim only to pass the grueling exam and as a result
if they got out of luck on that goal they will fail. Believe me you, it is important to dream big as a
reviewee will exert more effort than the normal. Jut down this one if you only dream of trivial
matter or just passing the board exam, expect that the effort that will be exerted will be also trivial.
So now! Future Criminologist. Dream to top the board exam!

II. THE NO. 1 PROBLEM “LAZINESS”

“Laziness as one of the deadly sin”

Laziness is often the no. 1 problem of every reviewees, laziness is a habit which can
compromise everything even the most promising profession. Laziness is congenial it stems from
our surroundings such as lazy friends or unsupportive relatives, and even yourself because of lack
of a definite goals.

Decide and Act, it is the only way to conquer it. The unwillingness to make a decision and
none commitment to follow through with it will result to failure. Commit yourself by achieving
your goals and dreams, then you can expect success. Many reviewees have made a strong decision
on what they want. But the commitment to those goals is as important as establishing them. It’s
not enough to say “I want to become a CRIMINOLOGIST”. You’ll need to say, “I want to become
a Criminologist and will do it. I will read 10 hours a day and I will do everything to pass it if that’s
what it takes”. Now future Criminologist be ready to conquer laziness!
