Philippine writing classrooms are still generally following the product approach since as a developing nation, this approach is still not feasible given the number of students per class, size and poor condition of a classroom, and the nonchanging tradition of classroom teaching. Thus, the process approach being adopted by DLSU is considered to be a major leap in teaching writing. Yet, due to its novelty, Philippine textbooks on process approach is still scarce, thus making the professors at DLSU adopt a mixture of different approaches and trends. Eventually, this approach has failed to achieve the desired literacy due to improper implementation. Thus, this rote approach became just another uninspiring task to be fulfilled in every writing session by DLSU students. This paper investigated how a holistic view, emphasizing writing as a recursive process, is ineffective for second language learners, specifically first year college students who are exposed to this approach for the first time. Different stages of the process were discussed in terms of effectiveness in producing quality works. Substantial evidence from 150 outputs shows that 80% of the stages are done for compliance.
