A Thesis on Social and Political Philosophy with Implications to Justice and Fairness
Social and Political Philosophy- Political philosophy, often known as political theory, is the philosophical study of government, focusing on issues such as the nature, scope, and validity of government agents and institutions, as well as their interactions.
Filipino Philosophy- Filipino philosophy is the natural citizens of the Philippines' attitude, worldview, and notion toward day-to-day living, religion, communication, survival, connection with people, and intra-relationship with his sakop or self – the "I," and the elevating of one's soul – the Filipino being.
Philosophy of Education- The goals, forms, techniques, and meaning of education are all investigated in education philosophy. Both a fundamental philosophical examination of these themes and a description or analysis of specific instructional practices are covered by this phrase. It's possible to add discussions of how the profession ties to larger philosophical or societal frameworks.

TOWARDS A CONCEPTION OF UTOPIA BASED ON RAWLS' JUSTICE AS FAIRNESS
This paper addresses social and political issues in the contemporary Philippines regarding the justice situation in the Philippines. The basic goal of this paper is to explain a Rawlsian-inspired Filipino justice theory to attain an attempt for my conception of utopia in the given setting. More specifically, my goal is to prove the validity of a political theory of Filipino justice that may be analogous to Rawls' conception of justice as fairness, however, suited to the contemporary Filipino context. The result of this research may serve as a recommendation for the government to improve its implementation of justice policies and principles.

It is manifested in the model by which it comprises of a "teacher", who by which is the one responsible for ingraining learnings and knowledge to the "learners" or formally "students". The purpose of such setup is for the "learners" and "students" to be knowledgeable and diminishing the idea of ignorance, and at the same time, to mold skills, talents, and values in order for a student to be capable of securing a certain role in the society.
