About the subject.....

when i first heard that we will have this subject,... my gosh!!i don't have any idea about this....what i know in shakespeare's play is Romeo and Juliet...and he's one of the greatest poet and playwright in the world..

,,,,,but, im wrong, i found this subject very interesting and i continually love this course i learned a lot !,,,and it helps me to improve myself, especially in speaking and expressing myself...and also my self confidence. i also learned the philosophy, ideas principles and realities of this subject...

About the teacher........

,,,,i was in second year college and he was a fourth year student, i met Mr. Bentayo, when they have an an audition in CAST. i have joined the orghanization, and i could still remember the scene on the audition, he told me to act like a "nirerape ng natutuwa" and "baklang humahabol sa magnanakaw."i could imagine myself potraying that scene. i've passed the audition but unfortunately, i can't attend the workshops due to my busy schedules...

,,,,,,then after he graduated in UMAk, he became one of the professors in English department, and now, he's our Professor in Shakespeare.at first im a little bit afraid of him because he's serious, strict, unapproachable and "suplado".

,,,,my fist impressions had changed. he encouraged us to be a better students and a future educator. he motivated us in our lessons that's why, he made it easier. he helped us in everything,,,, thank you sir
