ERNIE O. AVILA, CPHR, MM

Dynamic educator seeks a lectureship position to leverage extensive expertise in Human Resource Management and a solid academic foundation. Open to teaching opportunities across Business Management and related disciplines, including Ethics, Philosophy, Psychology, and Liberal Arts. Committed to fostering critical thinking, enhancing professional competence, and promoting values-driven leadership among students. Passionate about creating an engaging learning environment that inspires future leaders to excel in their fields.

• Became a Faculty Member at The Nazarene Catholic School, Manila for the academic year 2009–2010. I taught Values Education and Christian Living, which encompassed simplified courses in Philosophy, Ethics, and Catholic Social Teachings. During this time, I designed and developed lessons aligned with the school’s academic standards and core values, ensuring that learning went beyond intellectual formation to include the spiritual, social, and emotional growth of students. I employed a variety of creative teaching methods and instructional materials to engage learners holistically, cultivating in them both moral awareness and critical thinking. Maintaining discipline and fostering a safe, respectful, and values-centered learning environment were central to my classroom approach.

• From 2014 to 2019, I also served as a part-time volunteer lecturer at St. Clement Mission Seminary in Cubao, Quezon City. There, I taught Moral Theology and Feminist Theological Ethics to first-year college seminarians. This experience deepened my passion for theological education, allowing me to guide young men discerning their vocation toward a deeper understanding of moral reasoning, social justice, and ethical leadership. Through discussions and reflection, I sought to integrate academic rigor with pastoral sensitivity, helping students connect moral principles to real-life experiences.

• Together, these experiences have shaped my teaching philosophy—one rooted in the conviction that education is not merely the transmission of knowledge, but the formation of persons: intellectually grounded, morally responsible, and spiritually awakened.
