Ph 104: Oral Examinations will push through as scheduled

As some of you already know, the Office of the President of the Philippines declared that classes will be suspended on Friday, 28 April 2017. In reaction to this the VPLS of Ateneo decided to move all examinations scheduled on that day to Saturday, 29 April 2017.

FOR OUR PH 104 CLASS, HOWEVER, OUR ORAL EXAMINATIONS WILL PUSH THROUGH AS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED. 

Please refer to the schedule already posted on the Philosophy bulletin boards at de la Costa Hall. This is the schedule you signed-up for before the declaration and this same schedule will remain in effect.

For those scheduled to take the exam on Saturday, please notify me by email as soon as possible if the VPLS decision has created a conflict between your philosophy oral exam and your final exam in another subject. We shall of course make changes if necessary.

Thank you to those who sent me emails to ask about the above concern. I apologize for not responding individually to your questions. I hope that this announcement will suffice as my reply.

I intuit that my decision is in line with the Greatest Happiness Principle of the Utilitarians. But I will not clutter this announcement with a transcript of my deliberation. But please do inform me if there is evidence to the contrary.

Study hard and Good luck.
