APPLICATION – LET’S APPLY:
1. In line with the government’s austerity program, DepEd reiterates the following policies:
a. Graduation rites should be simple but meaningful to encourage civil rights, a sense of
community, and personal responsibility. While these rites mark a milestone in the life of the
learners, these should be conducted without excessive spending, extravagant attire or
extraordinary venue;

b. Moving Up or Completion Ceremonies should be simple, involving only the learners, their
parents and the school; and

c. Non-academic projects such as attendance to field trips, film showing, Junior-Senior

promenade, and other school events should not be imposed as requirements for graduation
or completion. (D.O. # 02, s. 2019)

1) Which of the weaknesses of the Filipino does this DepEd Order wish to help eliminate?
Explain.

2) Before the pandemic, did DepEd schools adhere to these policies? Cite at least two
examples to support your agreement or disagreement.

3) During the pandemic, do government offices observe austerity programs? Cite at least
two examples to support your answer.

2. In a post-observation conference, school head cites points for improvement for the teacher
observed. It happens that there are more points for improvement than positive points. Teacher
concludes the school head is biased against her.

Which Filipino weakness is revealed? What should be done?

3. What should be done in the Philippine basic education system so that it is more substance than
form?
4. Cite instances where 1) extreme family centeredness, 2) lack of discipline, 3) passivity and lack of
initiative, 4) colonial mentality, 5) kanya-kanya syndrome, talangka mentality, 6) lack of self-
analysis and self-reflection are manifested in Philippine society.

Explain how schools can help counteract such negative traits.

5. Based on Sen. Shahani’s Report, Chapter IV as written by Patricia B. Licuanan, once Chair of the
Commission on Higher Education of the Philippines, schools have contributed to the development
of Filipino passivity and lack of critical thinking:

Aside from the influences of the formal curriculum, there are the influences of the ‘hidden curriculum’, i.e.,
the values taught informally by the Philippine school system. Schools are highly authoritarian with the
teachers as central focus. The Filipino student is taught to be dependent on the teacher, so he attempts to
record verbatim what the teacher says and to give this back in its original form with little processing during
examination.

Teachers reward well-behaved and obedient students and are uncomfortable with those who ask
questions and express different viewpoints…. Critical thinking is not learned in school.
 a. Does this picture still hold true today? Why or why not?
b. Is this true to the pre-pandemic NVSU setting? To the pandemic NVSU setting?
