This is a Grade 12 student portfolio for the subject Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human Person, covering Units 1-3. It is written by Rhea Joyce K. Rebollo for the school year 2025-2026, under teacher Ms. Elena J. Quirante.
The first section, 'Me as a Human Person,' presents the author's personal identity statement. She describes herself as a young woman who values authenticity, family, and intrinsic human worth, and who aims to be a catalyst for others' growth.
The document then explores the concept of the embodied human person. It discusses how physical experiences like studying late, helping with chores, and family meals shape self-understanding, and introduces key terms such as Zoon Logon and Pagkatao.
Next, the portfolio distinguishes between being a human being and a human person. It argues that personhood involves thinking, choosing, building relationships, and taking responsibility, and that dignity is inherent, not earned through grades or status.
Later sections cover rationality and decision-making, using a group project example to illustrate awareness, understanding, reasoning, decision, and creativity. Freedom and responsibility are examined through a choice between procrastination and completing work on time.
The final pages address embodiment and identity, the human person's relationship with nature as a dweller versus a consumer, and social concepts from Unit II: Zoon Politikon, Pagkamakatao, solidarity, empathy, and the common good.
