Congratulations and Welcome to 2nd Year!

First of all, I want to start off by scaring you and saying na ang kalisod sa 2nd year kay
times 3 sa First Year. Why? Because that mindset helped me survive 2nd year 1st Sem. Halos
tanan subjects kay major na. Bar subjects naman gud tanan. NatRes ra siguro maconsider na
minor.

BUT, Ayg tuo na di kaya ma survive ang 2nd Year 1st Sem na way bagsak. Kaya man
basta maningkamot. ☺ Strike a balance lang jud between strategy and diligence. (2nd year 1st
sem guide ra ni ha kay wa pa koy locus standi mag share about 2nd sem kay wa pa niabot tanan
akuang grado..haha).

Best thing to do now is to read in advance. Ngano? There will not be enough time for
everything na during the sem. Maski 10 pages a day or one case a day ra gud para
makabakasyon and makapahuway gihapon kag taman for Summer. You won’t regret reading in
advance, promise. Ang top 3 jud na akuang ma suggest na basahon in advance are:

• CRIMPRO – Use LA TSN


• PROPERTY – Use Paras
• SALES – Tung case list ni Ma’am. Di man kayo to ga change. If naa, gamay ra. (I
attached sa e-mail ang latest course outline ni Ma’am. Kabalo ko hugaw pero
bawal mag judge. Haha)

Also, here are some prof and subject-specific tips for 2nd year 1st Sem especially kung sa
2Manresa ka ibutang ☺

Subject and Most Effective Tips


Professor Material/s (For Me)
Atty. Batacan Paras Book Read the book in advance then paminaw sa
PROPERTY CODAL lecture. Si sir Ed ay murag si Atty. Buena mag
5 units lecture. Gina highlight lang ang important. Pati
(Si Atty. Suarez for sa exam, especially sa prelims, kato pud
SR) nagagawas. Buotan sya and di na sya terror
pero ayaw kumpyansa kay akuang Final Grade
sa iya way plus. All exams divided by 4 lang. So
careful jud.

*For exams: Book (especially tung iyang gi


highlight as important), CODAL (MEMORIZE!!!),
TM Notes (Kalat ni na notes ni Sir Ed pero
NEVER make him feel na naa moy copy kay di
sya ganahan), Past Exams
Atty. Suarez Book ni Atty. Suarez 2nd year experience is not complete without her.
CRIM PRO LA TSN Haha. And she expects you to know her rules
3 units CODAL even without her telling you. Some of her rules:
(Si Atty. Europa for • Wear ID all the time, maski wa ka sa
SR) sulod sa classroom
• Dress well (sa amuang 1st day of class,
gipaadto mi sa atubangan tas gi check
niya ang propriety sa amuang attire)
• Don’t wear YELLOW (she hates that
color)
• When reporting/reciting, NEVER use
petitioner or respondent, gamita ang
name mismo sa petitioner ug
respondent. Kung daghan, ingna lang
“et.al.”
• When reporting/reciting, make it short
and concise, focus lang sa important and
sa iyang ginapangita. Ayaw pag pa
impress na wala sa lugar.

For Atty. Suarez, impression matters and 1st


impression lasts. So work on that.

For reporting, read the full-text. She will know


kung nag digest ra ka.

*For exams: LA TSN, CODAL (Memorize!!!),


Past Exams
Fr. Gus TSNs Walking genius ni si Father. So record his
LABOR lectures. Daghan kayo kay ma learn. He won’t
STANDARDS terrorize you. Mag lecture ra na sya. But he is
2 units known for not adjusting your grades. Imung
grade is all exams divided by the number of
exams ra jud. Unya kana na na. Maski 74.5 pa
na. Round down man so 74. Maski muhilak pa
kag ice drop. Final na na.

True or False rapud iyang exam. So study in a


detailed way. Precision is the secret.

*For exams: 3 TSN rule. Record him this year.


Tas pangita ug maayong TSN for the past 2
years. Basaha jud tanan iyang handouts. Kung
kaya pa, read Azucena.
Atty. Elman LA TSN Sir Elman is one of the kindest professors in law
PUBLIC school. He won’t terrorize you. For recit, I can
CORPORATION say na even digests would be enough basta
2 units makabalo ka sa issue and relevant ruling.
(For both Manresa
and SR) *For exams: LA TSN, Sir Elman’s Powerpoint
Presentation, Past Exams
Atty. Valencia Sigma TSN Atty. Valencia is similar to Atty. G. Mother figure.
ELECTIONS But her recitations will give you mild heart
2 units attacks. For her recits, at first masunod pa ang
(For both Manresa order, and it would suffice na maka read kag 10
and SR) cases. Pero ma shock nalang ka kay mag skip-
skip na sya and there is no possible way na
nabasa to nimo na kaso kay ika 35th case na sya
sa list (except kung alien ka and mabasa jud
nimo tanan). Ana gud.

So giunsa nako pag survive iyang recit?


Reading what I can and the rest was divine
intervention. Swear. Pag matawag ka sa recit,
and you know the case, MAKE HER FEEL
THAT YOU DO. If she feels na kabalo ka sa
case, it will save you from her asking you
questions like “how many votes were cast”, “how
many precincts”, “what case was filed and
where”. Kay kung unsa ka specific ang recits ni
Atty. Suarez, ato ka all-encompassing ang kay
Atty. V.

P.S. Know when her birthday is and paghatag


mog gift as a batch. Pag makalimot mo, kamo ra
ang batch na wa sya na remember. And she will
remember that. Hehe.

*For exams: Sigma TSN, Bar Reviewer ni Atty.


Valencia (Batch 2016 graduates ang latest
source ani), Past Exams
Atty. Sarona-Lozare Class Transcription Atty. Sarona is my personal favourite ☺ Wala
SALES syay igawas sa exam na wala niya gitudlo. So
2 units best way to survive sa iya is to record and
(For both Manresa transcribe her lectures. Most 2nd year students
and SR) have that erroneous thinking na TANAN
subjects dapat i-transcribe. In my opinion,
makabuang na. It would take most of your time.
Mawad-an kag social life ana, hala ka. So
choose the profs to transcribe and number one
sa list si Atty. Sarona. She’s like a book talking
man gud. ☺

For recits, read full text. Reasonable man ang


iyang ginapabasa, 7-10 cases per session.

*For exams: Class TSN (I suggest na apilan na


ninyo ug case digest para kato nalang inyung
study-han), Past Exams (although not
indispensable)
Atty. Panes Agcaoili Book Na stress ko sa LandTi. Haha. Basta basaha
LANDTI lang tanan kaso na iyang ipa recite pati ang part
2 units sa book na related ato. Loyalist man si Ma’am
(Nakalimot ko kinsa kay Agcaoili. Pansin nako na her exams come
sa SR) from the book and full-text raman jud.

*For exam: Book and cases


Atty. Coronel TSN Naga quiz si Sir every meeting. And iyang exam,
NATRES compilation of quizzes plus additional questions.
1 unit Okay mag full text sa iyaha, especially sa sugod,
(Si Atty. Tan for for recit and quiz purposes. Pero tung
SR) nagkabuang nako balance sa tanan subjects, I
ended up with digests. Just have a good TSN.
The one I got was from the Graduating Batch of
2016. Okay to.

For your class activity, daghay naga ingun na


pinaka gusto ni Sir na mag tree planting mo.
Haha ☺

*For exam: TSN

There you have it. This is practically everything I wished someone told me before nag
2nd year 1st sem ko. Haha. I wish it helps you. God bless and enjoy the journey! ☺

Lovelots,
