Re: 𝗟𝗘𝗕 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻-𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, which mandates all law schools to deliver the basic law program through onsite learning starting A.Y. 2023-2024, I would like to share the feedback and recommendations I have sent to the Hon. LEB Chairperson Anna Marie Melanie B. Trinidad, which I also submitted during the public consultation conducted this afternoon. 


I would like to emphasize, however, that this is my personal opinion expressed in my individual capacity as a law professor, and it does not reflect the stance of the law school where I teach. 


Personally, I find conducting my law school classes in person to be more engaging and interactive. However, I believe that each professor, student, and law school's experience is different. 


I delivered my Constitutional Law classes purely online during the first two years of the pandemic, and my students and I made it work. For A.Y. 2022-2023, I returned to in-person classes, except when there was an NDRRMC heavy rainfall warning, when a public transport strike was declared, and when I traveled to the USA last April. The flexibility of having the option to switch to online classes ensured that there was no disruption in my classes and that I could finish the coverage of my course on time. 


Hence, I am alarmed by the LEB's proposed policy, which effectively prohibits the online modality, allowing it only for elective courses where only 50% of the total contact time is required to be onsite. This policy appears to be an attempt to revert to pre-pandemic practices, a move I consider a step backward. As my cousin, Dean Ulan Sarmiento, aptly put it during this afternoon's consultation, 

"𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒏, 𝒘𝒉𝒐, 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍, 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒐𝒏." 


I share the opinion and strongly support the stance of numerous law deans, law professors, law students, and law student organizations that 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐄𝐁 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐰 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭. 


In the interest of academic freedom, flexibility, and inclusivity, law schools should be allowed to continue to have the freedom and flexibility to determine which mode of learning (onsite, online, or hybrid) works best for them, based on their unique experiences and circumstances. 


Everyone is therefore encouraged to make their positions known to the LEB by submitting position papers no later than June 26 via email to contact@leb.gov.ph.
