echoing the previous comment on how it's not really That much of a philosophy of religion class in terms of his lectures, but imo the assigned readings (and the recits on them that happen) do discuss some of the classic arguments that the other commentor mentioned. this was last year tho so he might have changed his syllabus and teaching style. i'd say his class is definitely An Experience and if you want to challenge urself then go for him! HAHAHAHA but if you have a heavy sem and dont really want to exert a lot of effort and deal with the anxiety of recits every meeting then another prof is definitely best for youmore

only take lopo if that's the only accounting class you'll ever have 😅 if you just want a good grade and don't need the accounting knowledge ever again then taking him worksmore

duhaylongsod curve god (D to B real quick)

neutral

pls do not take lopo if u have a hard time (or if its your first time) with finance subjects and genuinely want to fully understand accounting! personally had a difficult time with his teaching style and a lot of the time he canceled lectures bc he had his own meetings to attend to. quizzes and activities are online but still difficult to ace :’)more

take lopo! exams are open notes haha. B/B+ with effort, A if you attend every session and he knows you

neutralFAA 101.10

Anonymous member 306 took duhaylongsod for faa 101.10 this sem and i dont think this is accurate lmao you will pass but dont trust that you get as high as a B

i already put my recommendations jn other posts but if ur just wanting to learn and not nitpick the definition of "philosophy" 🤓☝️, id recommend. you get to learn about the more practical dynamics (power, influence, etc) of religion, and others. nice change of pace from it being just another theo-aligned classmore

COPY PASTED REVIEW RHAT I LEFT IN 2022 best prof took a picture of my vespa pa 10/10 imo hes genuinely a good prof!! but hes also a law school prof so his standards ARE UP THERE talaga but hes rly good like i got an A naman with a lot of effort and i dont regret taking his class AT ALL! hes scary lang at first kasi literally memorize every small detail about the reading but u get used to his pattern/ style over time (and by that i literally mean after like 3-4 quizzes he told us san niya kinukuha questions niya para yun lang aralin namin kek) hes one of those profs na indi terror but also hard but also u wont regret taking them kasi he rly lectures very nice! hes the only prof i have had so far na did the style na "i wont spoonfeed u everything" properly like he executed it rly well kasi he rly makes u think. i would take him again tbh i have no regrets just put a lot of effort sa outputs kasi he really appreciates like well thought out arguments and dont be afraid to take a stance even if its unpopular in one output i had a different stance from him and he said even he disagrees but the arguemnts are well done so he appreciates it and gave a high grade TLDR put a lot of effort kasi he will rly notice it and rly tell u na u did a good job; id say take him if ur rly willing to put the time and effort into his subj kasi it will really pay off and he really gives constructive feedback on what he wants to see sa mga arguments and stuff! he is a bit scary talaga at first altho idk if thats because kami yung first class niya sa admu but over time he gets more comfortable with the class!! unironically i was excited to go to his classes and didnt want to cut LMAO given that palaging max cuts ko sa ibang class more power to him ig but i also have to add na almost 1/3 of the class dropped (which imo i think is a skill issue) but yea he can rly be challengingmore

positivePHILO 12

Had him for PHILO 12 last semester. He’s a pretty cool guy. Daming energy. Pretty funny and unfiltered din. Knows his stuff and is very passionate about what he teaches. Likes to make kwento about his life (e.g. studies here and abroad, his time as a minor seminarian, school, legal practice, etc.) Maraming readings and will definitely apply socratic method sa discussions ninyo every meeting, so if you don’t want that, I suggest you go for a different prof. Atty. JM isn’t easy-A at all but I will say marami akong natutunan sa kanya. He’s very practical with his approach to PHILO 12 (as a lawyer himself, he likes to reconcile PHILO 12 with law. You’ll get to tackle stuff like separation of church and state, political liberalism, etc.) Read the news (national, local, and international). Stay updated. Magtatanong siya about that. Dapat related to religion. Random magtawag sa klase. You’ll be asked to submit index cards with your photos and names on them. Again, para kang nasa law school. But the guy isn’t scary at all. He’s very friendly! Parang kuya mo lang pero he wants you to do your best. Take notes fast dahil mabilis siya mag-discuss. Study well and DO YOUR READINGS (intindihin mong maigi talaga) kasi bukod sa magtatanong siya about that in class, his quizzes and exams are objective (puro essay type haha, pero may subjective portion—but the objective part takes up a bigger portion of the assessment). Walang orals pero ayun, may socratic method. But he’s a nice guy. Maraming pakulo lang. But trust, marami kang matututunan sa kanya. Very A-able with blood, sweat and tears. B+/B with effort. Bawal kang tamarin kay Atty. JM. You really have to put in the work if you wanna get that A. He can tell if you’re BS-ing your stuff (sa recit, patatayuin ka for a bit if he isn’t satisfied with your answer). He gives incentives to those with perfect attendance. He can recognize diligence and hard work. But overall, he’s a nice guy kahit mataas expectations niya. Very approachable. He just wants to see you do your best and learn something valuable/practical from his class. Take him if you dig the law school vibe/experience. Baka mabigyan ka pa ng recommendation letter haha (he’s generous daw with this basta you get an A in his class!)more

I took his Philo of Religion class last sem. He is a great prof! You can see he really has a passion for teaching and cares about his students a lot. Because he’s a lawyer, teaches law school, and has so many letters after his name he seems scary at first. He expects you remember little details about the readings and his lectures. Eventually, (like the previous review mentioned) you’ll understand his patterns and what he expects of you and suddenly it’s not that hard! Plus he grades very generously with papers and other outputs that aren’t quizzes with objective answers. If you are willing to put in effort, do not be deterred from taking his class! It is A-able if you put in effort, he will recognize if you are putting in work! I really love his class. Truly enriching and interesting~ if you want to learn, take it!! Let me know if you have more specific questions TLDR: Take his class. A with effort. Worth taking! 🫶🏼more

ok ill post my review na here since a lot have asked na din through PM imo hes genuinely a good prof!! but hes also a law school prof so his standards ARE UP THERE talaga but hes rly good like i got an A naman with a lot of effort and i dont regret taking his class AT ALL! hes scary lang at first kasi literally memorize every small detail about the reading but u get used to his pattern/ style over time (and by that i literally mean after like 3-4 quizzes he told us san niya kinukuha questions niya para yun lang aralin namin kek) hes one of those profs na indi terror but also hard but also u wont regret taking them kasi he rly lectures very nice! hes the only prof i have had so far na did the style na "i wont spoonfeed u everything" properly like he executed it rly well kasi he rly makes u think. i would take him again tbh i have no regrets just put a lot of effort sa outputs kasi he really appreciates like well thought out arguments and dont be afraid to take a stance even if its unpopular in one output i had a different stance from him and he said even he disagrees but the arguemnts are well done so he appreciates it and gave a high grade TLDR put a lot of effort kasi he will rly notice it and rly tell u na u did a good job; id say take him if ur rly willing to put the time and effort into his subj kasi it will really pay off and he really gives constructive feedback on what he wants to see sa mga arguments and stuff! he is a bit scary talaga at first altho idk if thats because kami yung first class niya sa admu but over time he gets more comfortable with the class!!more

Took Duhaylongsod for FAA 101.1 and I can say he teaches a lot of new stuff all at once (cuz of the of topics the curriculum makes you learn in a short amount of time) but he always makes sure that everyone understands what he’s saying. He repeats important info 3 times per sentence 😂. Still ended up not listening to most lectures cuz the plethora of things going over your head makes the class boring but he uploads all the recoded lectures, practice problems, ppt, study guide, and crammed notes on canvas so if u are a crammer, this truly helps. Overall, he does curve a lot and even gave bonus on the quizzes (which were all online). B with low effort. B+ with mid effort. Definitely A-able with effort and finesse 😉more

if you don’t have any prior knowledge w accounting, don’t get lopo took him this first sem and i don’t think i really learned much :(( for onsite lectures, he has a habit of being late for his first class which rlly affects the flow of discussion (feels rushed) i mostly had to review on my own using the ppts and his yt videos don’t know what my grade was for the entire sem bcs canvas assessments were left ungraded if it’s ur only acct class and don’t care a lot about it then he is fine tbh idk how i got a B, but most of the people in my class got the same grademore
