From: Maribel Limsa
To: Dr. Ed Malagapo
Greetings!
First and foremost, I would like to thank you, Dr. Ed, for the opportunity to be one of your students. I am contented with the learning strategy you implemented for this section, given that we are all working and so we were able to maximize our time both as employees and students. So, if I may give my thoughts on this subject. I would like to sum it up with PPP.
1st P – stands for Panoptic.
2nd P – practical
3rd P - is Panoramic
Panoptic. as it provided us with a very wide topics starting from the history of philosophical foundation in Management, the legacies and advocacies of old philosophers down to current contributions of modern philosophers in management
Which I find it P- as in practical as all the philosophies of old and modern philosophers are all indeed practiced in various public and private institutions. Like for instance, for Aristotle, whose philosophy centers on ethics and governance. This philosophy of his is used by the Philippines government across the board. We have this Code of ethics for teachers and code of ethical standards for public officials and employees.
Thus, our subject is P-meaning Panoramic, meaning it is an all-encompassing view while being applicable and useful in real-life context.
AGAIN, Thank you so much po.
