Statement on the no-homework policy bills
PASIG CITY, August 28, 2019 – With its issuance of the “Guidelines on Giving Homework or Assignment to All Public Elementary School Pupils,” otherwise known as DepEd Memorandum No. 392, series 2010, the Department of Education (DepEd) reiterates its commitment to the holistic development of learners inside and outside the classroom.
The said issuance aims to enable learners to have more quality time with their parents, family, and friends by limiting the homework/assignment to a reasonable quantity on school days and by eliminating the same during weekends.
It is in this regard that the Department supports the no-homework policy proposed by legislators from the House of Representatives. By ensuring that they complete all assignments and projects in school, the no-homework policy enables our learners to find balance between their academic development and personal growth by having ample time for enjoyable activities with family.
The Department will further study the other provisions of the bills to determine the repercussions on the current teaching and learning process.

Philippine politician proposes law to ban homework on weekends
MANILA - A politician in the Philippines wants students to rest and recharge on weekends instead of doing homework, when they already spend some 10 hours in schools on weekdays.
To make that happen, Mr Sam Versoza, a member of the Philippine House of Representatives for Tutok To Win Party-List, proposed a “no homework law”, which aims to ban teachers from giving homework to elementary and high school students on weekends.
In 2010, a memorandum circular by the Department of Education advised teachers to assign just reasonable quantity of homework to public elementary school students on weekdays. No homework should be given on weekends, said the circular.
Mr Versoza’s proposed Bill aims to institutionalise this for all elementary and high schools across the country.
Since the 17th Congress – from 2016 to 2019 – lawmakers have tried to institute a no-homework policy on weekends.
However, such measures are still pending before the House Basic Education and Culture Committee.
In a privilege speech on Monday, Mr Versoza said students work extra hours to accomplish their homework.
In some instances, parents themselves would finish their children’s tasks.
“The Filipino youth are overworked and yet the Philippines is trailing behind other countries,” Mr Versoza said in his privilege speech.
He cited recent reports that the average intelligence quotient (IQ) of Filipinos was 81.64, while the global average IQ was 100. The Philippines ranked 111th out of 200 countries in terms of average IQ.
“This is alarming and proves that the Philippines is in the middle of an educational crisis. If the system is not working, let us improve the system,” Mr Versoza said.
He noted that Finland, China, South Korea, Japan, and other progressive nations already cut back on giving homework to students and that the Philippines should consider this as well.
Mr Versoza said an hour of homework a day was “sufficient to achieve satisfactory results” and that increasing the number of hours for homework “may cause stress to students and their families”.
The lawmaker also pointed to the disparity between the rich and poor in completing school tasks.
“Kids from wealthier homes are more likely to have resources such as computers, internet connection, dedicated areas to do schoolwork, and parents who tend to be more educated and more available to help them with their homework,” Mr Versoza said.
On the other hand, children from disadvantaged homes are more likely to take on after-school jobs, be at home without parents’ supervision, or take care of siblings instead of doing homework.
He also cited data from the Philippine Statistics Authority, which showed that the Philippines had the highest dropout rate among South-east Asian countries, with a lack of interest in school as one of the reasons cited.
“This only shows that school is not fun any more,” Mr Versoza said. PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER/ASIA NEWS NETWORK

No homework for Filipino students: Doesn’t it sound good?
Asia philippines.
Philippines education department backs legislation focused on holistic development
Manila: Efforts in the legislature to do away with assigning homework to students in basic education drew the support from an unlikely quarter — the Department of Education (DepEd).
“The Department of Education supports the no-homework policy proposed by legislators from the House of Representatives,” the DepEd said in a statement.
It said that since 2010 it had been advocating for an all-inclusive learning regime for Filipino students, to include out of the classroom schooling, a policy that will, in effect, restrict teachers from giving homework to students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
“With its issuance of the ‘Guidelines on Giving Homework or Assignment to All Public Elementary School Pupils’, the DepEd reiterates its commitment to the holistic development of learners inside and outside the classroom.
According to Education Secretary Leonor Briones, the aim of the issuance was for “learners to have more quality time with their parents, family, and friends by limiting the homework/assignment to a reasonable quantity on school days and by eliminating the same during weekends”.
But while the education department embraces the “no homework” concept in basic education, a lack of an enabling law stood in the way of its implementation in the classrooms.
House Deputy Speaker Evelina Escudero has submitted to the House of Representatives the Bill to make the “no homework” rule in classrooms, a reality.
“The objective will always be to improve and develop our educational system and be able to mould our students and pupils as productive members of our society equipped with the right and appropriate education,” she said.
“It is a bill that is grounded on studies and experiences as an educator myself for 25 years,” the lawmaker from Sorsogon said.
The DepEd said that in supporting the no-homework policy being pushed in the House of Representatives, it hopes that the concept will enable Filipino earners “to find balance between their academic development and personal growth by having ample time for enjoyable activities with family.”
It had been observed that obsession by parents and students for academic excellence had somehow affect the social well-being of pupils.

Bill aims to give students ‘no homework’ weekends
INQUIRER.net stock images
MANILA, Philippines — Saying children are “overworked” with 10 hours spent at school on weekdays, Tutok to Win Rep. Sam Versoza has filed House Bill No. 8243 — the proposed “No Homework Law” — to stop teachers from giving homework to elementary and high school students during weekends so as to allow students to “rest and recharge.”

‘Bawal ang assignment’: No homework bills filed by lawmakers
Lawmakers have filed separate bills on a no-homework policy to prevent stress and burn-out among school children.
The two bills filed at the House of Representatives seek to ban homework activities from kindergarten to high school in order for kids to spend more quality time with their families.
Deputy Speaker Evelina Escudero introduced House Bill No. 3611 which seeks to eliminate homework as a class requirement and limit school activities to the campus.
“Homework assignments can deprive students and parents precious quality time for rest, relaxation and interaction after school hours and even on weekends,” she explained.
Escudero also included in her bill a provision to leave textbooks in school so that children don’t have to carry it back home.
House Bill 3883 by Quezon City Congressman Alfred Vargas, on the other hand, seeks to ban the homework policy during weekends.
“In addition, a few landmark studies have suggested that homework does impact upon family life, in some cases in a negative way… yet in general, it is positively associated with academic achievement,” Vargas wrote.
Teachers may face at least Php50,000 in fine or imprisonment for violations if the bill turns into law.

Parents and educators will have different views when it comes to the amount of time children should be devoting to their studies. Homework, for instance, helps students review what they’ve learned in school, while also preparing them for the coming school day.

Manila THIRD DIVISION
HENRY KOA and VIRGINIA KOA, petitioners, vs. THE HON. COURT OF APPEALS and BA FINANCE CORPORATION, respondents. Leven S. Puno for petitioners. Valera, Urmeneta & Associates for private respondent. SYLLABUS 1. CIVIL LAW; OBLIGATIONS AND CONTRACTS; ASSIGNMENT; ASSIGNEE DEEMED SUBROGATED TO THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATION OF THE VENDOR. — It is basic under substantive law that when a seller or vendor assigns his credit to another person, the latter is deemed subrogated to the rights as well as to the obligations of the seller. (BA Finance Corporation, vs. Court of Appeals, 201 SCRA 157 [1991]). By virtue of the deed of assignment, the assignee is deemed subrogated to the rights and obligations of the assignor and is bound by exactly the same conditions as those which bound the assignor (see Mercantile Ins. Co., Inc. vs. Felipe Ysmael, Jr. & Co., Inc., 169 SCRA 66; BPI Credit Corporation vs. Court of Appeals, 204 SCRA 601 [1991]). 2. ID.; ID.; ID.; ID.; ASSIGNEE CAN NOT ACQUIRE GREATER RIGHTS THAN THOSE OF THE ASSIGNOR. — An assignee cannot acquire greater rights than those pertaining to the assignor (Gonzales vs. Land Bank of the Phils., 183 SCRA 520 [1990] and other cases cited). The general rule is that an assignee of a non-negotiable chose in action acquires no greater right than what was possessed by his assignor and simply stands into the shoes of the latter (Fidelita Mut. L. Ins. Co. vs. Clark, 203 U.S. 64, 51 L. ed., 91 27 s. Ct. 19' Judson vs. Corcoran, 17 How (US) 612, 156 L. ed. 231). 3. ID.; ID.; ID.; DOES NOT OPERATE TO ERASE LIENS OR RESTRICTIONS BURDENING THE RIGHT ASSIGNED. — As the assignee of the mortgage lien obtained the rights, title, and interests of the assignor (People's Car, Inc.) over the aforementioned motor vehicle and the promissory note, but the act of assignment, did not operate to erase liens or restrictions burdening the right assigned (PNB vs. Gen. Acceptance and Finance Corp., et al., 161 SCRA 449 [1988]) 4. ID.; ID.; CHATTEL MORTGAGE; SURRENDER OF MOTOR VEHICLE WHICH TO THE MORTGAGEE BARS PAYMENT OF UNPAID BALANCE; REASON; CASE AT BAR. — Petitioners should be exonerated from paying the balance and legal interest arising from the promissory note because of the legal proscription against unjust enrichment (Article 2124, New Civil Code). In the case at bar, the vehicle was surrendered to People's Car, Inc. even before the action for replevin was filed. Certainly, to require petitioners to effect full payment in the manner arrived at below after they turned over the vehicle to People's Car, Inc. which did not fulfill its avowed promise to provide a replacement therefor, is wholly incongruous, nay, inequitable. Verily, and judging from the tenor of Exhibit "1", People's Car, Inc. opted to retain permanent possession of the vehicle after the offer to replace the same expired signifying that it was cancelling the sale, and was accepting possession of the car which is a bar against exaction of the balance of the purchase price (Nonato vs. Intermediate Appellate Court, 140 SCRA 255 [1985]). Hence, if People's Car, Inc., as assignor is barred from demanding payment of the unpaid balance then, a fortiori, BA Finance as assignee, is likewise precluded from recovering against petitioners. D E C I S I O N MELO, J p: The petition for review on certiorari before Us seeks to reverse and set aside the decision of the Court of Appeals dated July 29, 1988 in CA-G.R. CV No. 00721 (Bellosillo, Ordonez-Benitez (P), and Kalalo, JJ.; p. 70, Rollo), which affirmed in toto the decision of Branch 32 of the Regional Trial Court of the National Capital Judicial Region stationed at Manila (p. 35, Rollo). The antecedent facts of the case as gleaned from the records are as follows: On April 20, 1987, the spouses Henry L. Koa and Virginia Koa, now herein petitioners, obtained from People's Car, Inc. a credit of P26,422.20 covering the cost of one Volkswagen Trakbayan de Luxe secured by a promissory note executed by the spouses in favor of People's Car. Inc. The spouses obligated themselves to pay People's Car, Inc. the sum of P26,422.20 inclusive of 14% interest on each unpaid installment to be computed from date of maturity until fully paid, payable on monthly installments of P733.95 starting July 1, 1977 and on the first day of the next 35 months from August 1, 1977 until full payment thereof. It was further stipulated that a penalty charge of P10.00 for every month or fraction thereof shall be paid by the spouses in case an installment due remains unpaid. To secure faithful and prompt compliance of their obligations under the said promissory note, petitioners constituted a chattel mortgage on the aforementioned motor vehicle. Subsequently, on May 27, 1977, People's Car, Inc. assigned the promissory note, together with the chattel mortgage, to BA Finance Corporation. The Koa spouses paid a total of P14.679.00 plus P493.78 representing interests and surcharges to BA Finance Corporation, thereby leaving an unpaid balance of P12,236.98 plus 14% interest plus a penalty charge of P10.00 for every month or fraction thereof starting September 26, 1979 until the entire amount is fully paid. Owing to the failure of petitioners to comply with the terms and conditions of the promissory note for more than 6 months, BA Finance Corporation filed a complaint for "Replevin with Damages" against the spouses before the court of origin. After submitting their Answer, a Third-Party Complaint against People's Car, Inc. was filed by the spouses. Following trial on merits, the lower court rendered its decision. the decretal portion of which reads: "ACCORDINGLY, judgment is hereby rendered in favor of the plaintiff and against defendants Henry L. Koa and Virginia Koa ordering them, jointly and severally, to pay plaintiff 1) P12,236.98 plus 12% interest and a penalty charge of P10.00 for every month or fraction thereof from September 26, 1979 until the whole amount is fully paid and 2) P1,000 as attorney's fees. "The third-party complaint is DISMISSED. "Without pronouncement as to costs. "SO ORDERED." (Rollo, p. 39) Dissatisfied with the decision, the spouses appealed to the Court of Appeals, which, as initially observed, affirmed in toto, the decision of the trial court. The motion for reconsideration filed by the spouses was to no avail, hence, the instant petition for review on certiorari on the basis of the ensuing paraphrased propositions that: a) the Court of Appeals erred in holding that BA Finance Corporation did not assume the obligation of warranty by the People's Car, Inc.; b) respondent court likewise erred in not holding that in surrendering possession of the car to the assignor, petitioners are absolved from paying the balance under the promissory note; c) respondent court erroneously concluded the absence of breach of warranty under the premises. Anent the first ascription, this Court finds the contention of petitioners to be impressed with merit. It is basic under substantive law that when a seller or vendor assigns his credit to another person, the latter is deemed subrogated to the rights as well as to the obligations of the seller. In BA Finance Corporation vs. Court of Appeals (201 SCRA 157 [1991]), BA Finance Corporation was deemed subrogated to the rights and obligations of Supercars, Inc. when the latter assigned the promissory note, together with the chattel mortgage constituted on the motor vehicle in question, in favor of the former. Consequently, BA Finance Corporation was held bound by the terms and conditions of the chattel mortgage executed between the Cuady spouses and Supercars, Inc. Accordingly, an assignee cannot acquire greater rights than those pertaining to the assignor (Gonzales vs. Land Bank of the Phils., 183 SCRA 520 [1990]; Zeyas vs. Luneta Motors, 117 SCRA 726 [1982]; Filinvest vs. Philippine Acetylene Company, 111 SCRA 421 [1982]; Industrial Finance Corporation vs. Ramirez, 77 SCRA 152 [1977]; Industrial Finance Corporation vs. Tobias, 78 SCRA 28 [1977]). Thus, in the case at bar, it is true that BA Finance Corporation, as the assignee of the mortgage lien, obtained the rights, title, and interests of the assignor (People's Car, Inc.) over the aforementioned motor vehicle and the promissory note, but the act of assignment, did not operate to erase liens or restrictions burdening the right assigned (PNB vs. Gen. Acceptance and Finance Corp., et al., 161 SCRA 449 [1988]). The general rule is that an assignee of a non-negotiable chose in action acquires no greater right than what was possessed by his assignor and simply stands into the shoes of the latter (Fidelita Mut. L. Ins. Co. vs. Clark, 203 U.S. 64, 51 L. ed., 91 27 s. Ct. 19' Judson vs. Corcoran, 17 How (US) 612, 156 L. ed. 231). By virtue of the deed of assignment, the assignee is deemed subrogated to the rights and obligations of the assignor and is bound by exactly the same conditions as those which bound the assignor (see Mercantile Ins. Co., Inc. vs. Felipe Ysmael, Jr. & Co., Inc., 169 SCRA 66; BPI Credit Corporation vs. Court of Appeals, 204 SCRA 601 [1991]). Furthermore, Article 1495 of the Civil Code is very explicit that "the vendor is bound to transfer the ownership of and deliver, as well as warrant the thing which is the object of the sale." This clearly shows the responsibilities of the vendor towards the vendee. Since an assignee merely steps into the shoes, so to speak, of an assignor, the assignee shall likewise shoulder all the obligations of a vendor-assignor, including the vendor's warranty. Warranty is a collateral undertaking. Thus, in a sale of personal property it is an express or implied statement of something which a party undertakes and shall be a part of a contract and, though part of the contract, collateral to the express object of it (Mc Cullough vs. Aenlle and Company, 3 Phil. 298 [1904]). As a collateral undertaking, it follows where the principal obligation goes. However, the real issue in the instant petition is, whether or not there was a breach of warranty on the part of People's Car, Inc. and consequently on the part of BA Finance Corporation when the motor vehicle in question was returned to People's Car, Inc. due to alleged "factory defect". It is the contention of petitioners that on February 11, 1978, they received a letter from the People's Car, Inc. informing them that the latter agrees to change the vehicle in question with a new one since the spouses turned over and surrendered the said vehicle to the latter as it was a lemon car and had to be replaced under its warranty (p. 108, Rollo). In support of this contention, petitioners quote the letter, (Exh. "1"), to wit: "This is in reference to your request for a replacement of your TKB Jeepney with Engine No. AU001034 and Chasis No. 2040001011, covered by Sales Invoice No. 35753, dated April 20, 1977. prcd "Please be informed that we are agreeable to the replacement of the above described unit with another TKB of the same model, however, if it will be another model, the trade-in value of your TKB Jeepney will only be P20,000.00 and the price difference shall be paid in cash. This offer will expire in 15 days from date of this letter." On the other hand, private respondent BA Finance Corporation argues that the vehicle in question was turned over and surrendered to the People's Car. Inc. and that private respondent was not a participant in the talks or negotiations for the replacement of the vehicle between petitioners and People's Car, Inc. Apparently, the above transaction was more of an offer for trade-in with an expiry date of fifteen (15) days from the date of the letter, than a transaction to honor warranty. Petitioners failed to state in their letter to People's Car, Inc. that they are returning the vehicle because of factory defects that should be covered under the Warranty. Verily, in response to the third-party complaint filed by herein petitioners against People's Car. Inc., We can deduce that the assignor denied that the car was returned because of any factory defect: "2. It admits in part par. 3 insofar as it offered to replace the motor vehicle bought by the third-party complaint, but denies that the offer by this answering party was made due to factory defects, for the reason that the offer was made because of this party's desire to promote goodwill with its customers." (Answer to the Third-Party Complaint, p. 31, Rollo.) Thus, the Court of Appeals observed that the so-called warranty is non-existent in the case at bar, to wit: "In the above quoted letter, we find no reference to the alleged warranty. Instead, it was just an offer for a possible trade-in agreement. This observation is buttressed by the letter dated February 15, 1978 (Exh. "3") sent by defendant-appellant to People's Car, Inc. which reads: 'Please be informed that I have taken your kind offer today by introducing to you Mr. Jesus Camaro who is interested in buying the new TKB Jeepney intended for any replacement. He has already applied for financing to pay on installments through Mr. Mario Santiago. 'However, should all obligations of Mr. Camaro for financing be declined then as replacement of my above-mentioned TKB Jeepney, I will get from your good office one Candy Apple Red VW 104 Brasilia 4 door sedan with rubber moulding, wood panelling, quartz clock, blower air inlet, and finally carpeted. (emphasis supplied)' The two exhibits (Exhs. 1 and 3) taken together merely elicited the fact that the People's Car, Inc. was only making an offer. This transaction can in no way affect the outstanding obligation of defendants-appellants with plaintiff-appellee."(p. 73, Rollo) In so far as petitioners' so-called pecuniary accountability in favor of private respondent is concerned, We are of the opinion and thus hereby hold that petitioners should be exonerated from paying the balance and legal interest arising from the promissory note because of the legal proscription against unjust enrichment (Article 2142, New Civil Code). In the case at bar, it is an admitted fact that the vehicle was surrendered to People's Car, Inc. even before the action for replevin was filed. Certainly, to require petitioners to effect full payment in the manner arrived at below after they turned over the vehicle to People's Car, Inc. which did not fulfill its avowed promise to provide a replacement therefor, is wholly incongruous, nay, inequitable. Verily, and judging from the tenor of Exhibit "1" (supra, at page 7, Decision), People's Car, Inc. opted to retain permanent possession of the vehicle after the offer to replace the same expired signifying that it was cancelling the sale, and was accepting possession of the car which is a bar against exaction of the balance of the purchase price (Nonato vs. Intermediate Appellate Court, 140 SCRA 255 [1985]). Hence, if People's Car, Inc., as assignor is barred from demanding payment of the unpaid balance then, a fortiori, BA Finance as assignee, is likewise precluded from recovering against petitioners. Concerning the award of attorney's fees, this, too, must be disallowed for want of factual and legal premise in the text of the decisions rendered by the court of origin and the appellate court as well (Central Azucarera de Bais vs. Court of Appeals, 188 SCRA 328; 340 [1990]). WHEREFORE, the petition is hereby GRANTED. The Decision of respondent court dated July 29, 1988, including the Resolution dated September 9, 1988, are hereby SET ASIDE and another one entered DISMISSING the complaint for replevin. SO ORDERED. Feliciano, Bidin, Davide, Jr. and Romero, JJ ., concur. Gutierrez, Jr., J ., is on terminal leave. | |
DepEd: No Homework or Assignments during weekends
DepEd Memo 392 mandates school teachers not to give assignments or any form of homework during weekends. This controversial memorandum has drawn flak from the public school educators.
Signed by Education Secretary Armin Luistro advised teachers to limit giving of homework and assignments. This is to give children the chance to have more quality time with their parents and loved ones. The can relax and rest at home for the rest of the weekends.
He added that children must not be burdened with the thought of doing lots of homework. They must enjoy their childhood.
This is contrary to the Teachers’ Dignity Coalition’s point of view. According to TDC’s president Benjo Basas, the memorandum is unnecessary. It actually violates the educators’ academic freedom to give the students the best education.
He said that as educators, they know the capacity of their students and how long it will take to finish their homework. It is to help them develop self-discipline and not make their lives harder. Students can learn time management and become responsible.
Furthermore, he said that teachers give more homework on Fridays because they have more free time during the weekends. Parents can even use homework to spend quality time with their kids. He explained that there are two main purposes for assignments: to review previews lessons or to get ready for a new one.
GUIDELINES ON GIVING HOMEWORK OR ASSIGNMENTS TO ALL PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PUPILS
Director of the DepEd Bureau of Elementary Education, Yolanda Quijano admitted that the memorandum was signed in after they have received complaints from a number of parents about teachers who were giving too much homework. It is a part of the initiative to make schools child-friendly.
She further added that they want kids to enjoy their time. Study time should be a habit and must not be strictly required during the weekends. Homework can bring opposite effect to the good education. Source
