III. CONCEPT NOTES

INTRODUCTION:

Unit one help you to develop an awareness of your identity and dignity, and gain knowledge of your
culture as a Filipino and a Catholic. Your culture as a Filipino is a conglomeration of various elements
mostly derived from its history as a Catholic country.

Within this sphere, you will become aware of your cultural traits. You will become more conscious of
your being Filipino, a citizen of the Philippines, and more significantly that you are a child of God, made in
His image and likeness and destined to be a citizen of heaven. You will understand that within a lofty destiny
you are realistically rooted in a social human environment; you and your family are an integral part of the
nucleus of human society.

Secure in this identity and in the milieu of your family and human society, you will discover that you
have rights as well as duties and responsibilities. This is a basic value: to every right, a duty.

However, you will gain more confidence knowing that as God’s child you possess innate virtues that
are the wellspring of your strength and maturity as a Filipino. In this time of discovering your character traits
and skills, you will find that your anchor is truly your family, where you get your first lessons on how to love
and how to be good. You will learn to be grateful to your school, your second home, since it in riches these
values through wider fields of learning in the company of your peers and mentors. You will appreciate
knowing that the church is the most significant support system for you, your family, and your school. The
Church is significant as its teachings will guide you, through your parents and the school, in the formation of
your moral values and the development of your conscience. These stakeholders in your formation, growth,
and development as a nationalist and patriot will be with you as a contributor to the betterment of Philippine
society.

The lesson in this unit will help you hone your natural attributes and enrich them with values and
citizenship skills that will truly be your mark as a Filipino citizen.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES

1. Before you start with the readings and activities, start by praying.
Purpose Driven Life

Many days have come and gone

Many years seem to have been wasted
Round and round like an aimless journey
Seems like we’ve been here before.
Why on earth am I here for?
Come my friend, stop for a while
Life must be more than just existing
Round and round like a carousel ride.
Shall we end where we began?
Tell me so I’ll understand
Refrain:
Let us begin to live this life
Let us together seek its purpose
Life is not a pointless venture
Eternity is for sure
Open up and receive this truth in your heart
That God was smiling at your birth and has purpose in your life
I know the plans I’ve laid for you
Plans for goodness says the Lord
We were made to last forever
And heaven is our home. (Repeat Refrain)

2. These are the questions that you will be answering at the end of the Unit. Your answer will be based
on the important points you will get from the different module composing the whole unit of your
textbook.

Para Kanino?
By Gary Granada
Ang ating kaalaman sa sining at agham
para kanino ba?
Ang daming patakaran at kaugalian
para kanino ba?
Para sa ikabubuti
ng mga nangangailangan.
Para sa nakararami
at di lang sa iilan (4x) lamang
 4. Read and proceed to Getting to know the Tip of the Iceberg on page 3 of the worktext. Present the
statement, “Your self-respect is rooted in the love and acceptance of your total self, what you are and
what you are not.” Having said it, with your siblings, parents, relatives and friends share or exchange
your ideas with them. The following guide questions may help.

All about respect

Respect is the glue that holds your relationships together. Learn ways to be respectful and know what to do
when somebody isn’t respectful toward you.

Why is Respect important?

Receiving respect from others is important because it helps us to feel safe and to express ourselves.
Being respected by important people in our lives growing up teaches us how to be respectful toward others.
Respect means that you accept somebody for who they are, even when they’re different from you or you
don’t agree with them.
Respect in your relationships builds feelings of trust, safety, and wellbeing.
Respect doesn’t have to come naturally – it is something you learn.
What does respect look like?
Think about all the different situations in life where you have to get along with others – how do you know if
there’s respect in your relationship?
WHY SELF-ESTEEM IS IMPORTANT 

Why is Self-Esteem important?

Self-esteem refers to a person's beliefs about their own worth and value. It also has to do with the feelings
people experience that follow from their sense of worthiness or unworthiness. Self-esteem is important
because it heavily influences people's choices and decisions. In other words, self-esteem serves a
motivational function by making it more or less likely that people will take care of themselves and explore
their full potential. People with high self-esteem are also people who are motivated to take care of themselves
and to persistently strive towards the fulfillment of personal goals and aspirations. People with lower self-
esteem don't tend to regard themselves as worthy of happy outcomes or capable of achieving them and so
tend to let important things slide and to be less persistent and resilient in terms of overcoming adversity.
They may have the same kinds of goals as people with higher self-esteem, but they are generally less
motivated to pursue them to their conclusion.

Self-esteem is a somewhat abstract concept; it's hard for someone who doesn't already have it to know
what it would be like to have it. One way for people who have lower self-esteem to begin to appreciate what
it would be like to have higher self-esteem is to consider how they may feel about things in their lives that
they value. For instance, some people really like cars. Because cars are important to them, these people take
really good care of their cars. They make good decisions about where to park the car, how often to get it
serviced, and how they will drive it. They may decorate the car and then show it off to other people with
pride. Self-esteem is like that, except it is yourself that you love, care for and feel proud of. When children
believe they are valuable and important, they take good care of themselves. They make good decisions about
themselves which enhance their value rather than break it down.

Situation Analysis

Situation 1:
Efren gets up at five o’ clock in the morning and quickly gets ready for school. He lives in a rural area
in Pampanga, and to be on time for his first period at seven, he has to travel by boat for fifteen minutes and
by tricycle for twenty minutes, then take another jeepney ride for thirty minutes. That is why he usually has a
hurried breakfast. He dashes out of the house still chewing his last mouthful to be able to reach school and
make it just in time for the flag ceremony. In the classroom, he feels spent and tired. He sits down and
sometimes tells his teacher he is hungry and tired.

How can Efren show more respect for his body?

Situation 2:

Ana arrives in school just in time for her PE class. She rushes straight to her class, not minding the
calls being made by the guard at the gate. Ana is wearing her PE uniform and slippers. A big tarpaulin at the
gate says “Students must wear the school uniform.”

How can Ana show more respect for her body and person in this situation?

Situation 3:

Nono and Weng are friends. On the way to school one day, Nono tells Weng that his teacher did not
admit him the day before because he was late. Weng says, Let’s be absent again. “They go straight to a
computer shop near the school. The next morning, Nono, having a different schedule from Weng’s, decides
to cut his classes again. He stays near the school gate without any intention of going inside. His plan is to go
to the computer shop again.

Weng texts Nono that his teacher is looking for him. Nono replies that the guard did not allow him to
enter, so he decides to go home to rest.

How can Nono show more self- respect and respect for authority?
