PGC Summer Class Research Activity

Good day, group presentations will be deferred to Monday and the Prelim Exam to Thurs next week.

For today you will be conducting library cross-referencing.

As informed at the beginning of the class, aside from the book of De Leon, you will be cross-referencing data with two other references:

  1. Constitutional Law and 
  2. Political Law (preferably, by Isagani Cruz)
This activity will measure your cross-referencing skills as well as collaboration with your classmates as a whole.

Pick a particular sub-topic from Articles III, VI, VII, and VIII.  Bill of Rights, Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary.  Example, I pick right against illegal seizure in Bill of Rights.

PLACE YOUR TOPIC IN THE COMMENTS BOX OF THIS BLOG.  NO REPETITION.  ONE STUDENT = ONE SUB-TOPIC.

Go to the library's Civil Law section.  Cross-reference your sub-topic with one of the two books mentioned.  Note:  Constitutional Law covers Bill of Rights, Political Law covers the other 3.


The civil law is more strict on decorum specially on undergraduates.  Be sure to conduct yourselves properly, no noise, unnecessary commotions.  FOR ME TO RECEIVE COMPLAINTS FROM LIBRARIANS WILL DEMERIT THE ENTIRE CLASS HALF OF THE ACTIVITY’S GRADE.  Hence, make sure to remind classmates of appropriate behavior. 

Look for 1) one to two details that the book adds that have not been mentioned by De Leon,  And 2) one case that serves as an example of that sub-topic.  Example, I cross-reference illegal seizures in Constitutional Law, and find out about General Warrants, and there is a case about generel warrants.  

Lastly read about what happened in the case,

Keep a record of these cross-referenced data, it will be presented individually in class through a sharing.
