DS 126 Modified Graded Recitation (July 14)

On a random basis, each student shall be pitted against another to argue on a specific policy issue in the Philippines. On that day (July 14), one will be assigned to argue for (merits) and another against (demerits) each policy issue listed below. Therefore, all these topics should be studied carefully. I suggest that you form a small study group for purposes of convenience and economy. Each student will be called to enter the room one at a time and will be given 5-6 minutes to deliver his/her points/counter-points. 8 jurors will evaluate all the speakers based on the following criteria (substance, logic and persuasive ability). Good luck!

1. Human Security Act of 2007
2. Amnesty Plan for MILF, NPA and mutineers
3. Rep. Gilbert Teodoro as DND Chief
4. General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS)
5. Commercial structures along baywalk in Manila
