culture-based activities that resulted to a very
organized celebration of their barrio fiesta. Is it
alright for Mr. Maya not to receive payment for
the services he rendered during the barrio
fiesta?

Case 2
Mrs. Anna Lee A. Amores does not want her
student named Joel to be the highest honor
awardee but she prefers Leonard, another
student to get the recognition. In order to ensure
that Leonard will get the highest honor award,
she gave Joel low grades in recitation and in
performance tasks. Is it right to give Joel low
grades just to make Leonard the awardee?

Case 3
Mr. Mario B. Reyes has been teaching for the
last 15 years. Every time his principal would ask
him to attend training, he would always decline
and would ask another teacher to attend the
said training. Is this proper?
