BSED SCIENCE II READING IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY
Direction: Answer the following question on the space provided below.
1. Given the map below, extracted from Google Earth, the Tabon Caves in the Lipuun
Point of Palawan where the Manunggul Jar was discovered are facing the South
China Sea and the Spratly Islands. Below the Palawan peninsula is the island of
Borneo. Do you find any relationship between the symbolism of the design of the jar
and the surrounding environment? What do you think is the source of inspiration in
such design given its environment?
The Tabon Caves on the Lipuun Point of Palawan, where the Manunggul Jar was
discovered, are facing the South China Sea and the Spratly Islands, as seen on
Google Earth. The island of Borneo lies underneath the Palawan peninsula. That is
why I believe the area in which the Manunggul jar was discovered had a serious
influence on the jar's appearance and meaning; the jar informs us of our ties to our
Southeast Asian neighbors. Despite the variety of Philippine cultures, the design is
testimony of our shared history from our Austronesian-speaking forefathers. Some
residues of their culture and beliefs may still be seen in different regions of the
country and among various Philippine ethno-linguistic groups, reminding us that the
so-called "imagined community" known as the Filipino nation might have a basis.
The importance of water to our ancestors is a source of inspiration for me in such
design given its context. The oceans and rivers served as a gateway for trade,
information, and communication before the internet, telephone, telegraph, and plane.
Manunggul Jar highlights how important our marine culture is to us, since it reflects
our forefathers' religious beliefs. Our forefathers thought that man is made up of
three parts: the body, the ginhawa, and the kaluluwa. After death, the kaluluwa might
return to earth to live in nature and lead their successors. This is why the Manunggul
Jar's lid has three faces: the soul, the boat driver, and the boat itself.
All in all, there is a relationship between the symbolism of the design of the jar
and the environment where they are found, our ancestors believed that even natural
objects, have souls and lives of their own. That is why our forefathers viewed nature
in high respect than those who believed it could be used for human benefit. They
designed the jar with the inspiration of environment or the nature.
2. Using your own analysis of the map, formulate your own theory of the possible role
of the Palawan peninsula in the history of civilization in the early Philippines.
Palawan, a small island off the coast of the Philippines, has played a significant part in
Philippine history. This is a province with a fascinating past as well as a bright future. There
have been wars waged here, and the province has seen a lot of suffering. The earliest
bones of the first Filipinos, thought to be tens of thousands of years old, were discovered
here. According to some sources, the bones of the first Filipinos were discovered here
22,000 years ago. Physical anthropologists dated the bones discovered in the Tabon cave
(a skullcap) to be around 47,000 years old. Tau't Bato, Palaw'an, Tagbanua, and Bataks
were the initial settlers in the coastal and mountainous areas, long before the Malay arrived.
They were here long before the rest of the world knew about Palawan. When Chinese
traders and other migrants crossed the land bridges that previously connected Borneo and
Palawan, the beauty that we now know as Palawan first appeared on the map. Palawan
quickly became a crossroads for Malays and Chinese commerce, and it was around the
12th century that Malays from Borneo began to settle there. Palay, ginger, coconut, camote,
sugar, and bananas were all grown by the immigrants. For food, they maintained livestock.
They fished and hunted as well. They created their own alphabet, a non-formal form of
administration, and a method for trade with merchants on the high seas. Palawan has since
become a haven of peace and beauty. Ancient people's culture is still alive and well. The
province's history demonstrates that it is more than just sandy beaches, beautiful
waterways, and a diverse marine environment. It is a cultural, historical, and heritage site.
Direction: Answer the following question on the space provided below.
1. Compare the Decalogue with the vision and mission of the Philippine National Police
and Philippine Army
With the community's active cooperation, the PNP will enforce the law, prevent and
control crimes, preserve peace and order, and safeguard public safety and internal security.
The Philippine Army's aim is to be a professional, capable, and efficient force that inspires
nationalistic pride. The Philippine Army's goal is to "assemble, train, equip, deploy, and
sustain ground troops in support of operations to "win the peace" in order to assist the
Filipino nation in establishing an environment conducive to long-term development and just
and enduring peace. The vision and mission of the Philippine National Police and the
Philippine Army are remarkably similar: to avoid and suppress crimes, to maintain peace
and order, and to create an environment appropriate for long-term growth and just and
everlasting tranquility.
2. Create your own decalogue dedicated to all front liners during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Note that front liners are considered modern-day heroes.
Not every hero wears a cape. Some people simply go above and beyond their
responsibilities. Delivery drivers, grocery store employees, fast food crew members, vital
commodities sellers, government personnel, food bank volunteers, warehouse workers, and
anybody brave enough to leave their home to execute their job are all examples of frontline
workers. Non-medical front-line workers in the thick of the epidemic are heroes as well; they put
their lives on the line in the same way that medical front-liners do. I salute all healthcare
personnel and frontline responders who are presently assisting in the COVID-19 emergency for
their commitment and dedication to serve our people during this trying time.

HEROES
1. Believe that everything we are facing today will end soon.

2. Support campaigns that fight for fair wages and proper compensation for front liners.
3. Send food or treats to the front liners
4. Wear a mask, follow social distancing, and keep yourself clean and healthy.
5. Always follow the safety guidelines
6. Appreciates their hardships
The six duties mentioned above are just a few of the tasks that will help front liners prevent the
spread of the virus. Through this, we can show and make them feel that we consider them modern
heroes of the world.
