Have an advance reading about our lesson

for the next meeting.
Lesson Overview
We are social beings created to belong. God designed for us
to live in the bosom of our families and the people we love. As a
family, we have our ambitions and goals. To improve our way of
life, raise our economic status, etc. To do these, we are expected
to help and join in the efforts of the rest of the members of the
family. We learn to work together for our common goal and in the
process, we learn to share in one another's sorrows, joys,
failures, and achievements.
In our journey, we encounter problems along the way.
These problems can cause us to lose our unity and hamper our
progress. But this lesson will help us learn the values that can
keep our family growing and improving. At the end of this lesson,
you will learn and discover the importance of unity and
cooperation in the family, as well as the values and earnest
efforts vital to achieve such goals.

Here are excerpts from "Everyone is Blessed" by Queena N.

Lee-Chua, a columnist for the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Let me tell you the story of Roselle Ambubuyog (who)
remains the most inspiring person I have met to this day.

"My parents did not understand why I had bouts of asthma

in December 1985, Roselle says. "Not only was I the youngest of
four healthy children but I was the only girl and very much cared
for. They took me to a ... doctor ... who prescribed four types of
over-the-counter medications, which I had to take fora week ...
Twelve days before Christmas, I was back to my old self. But on
Christmas night, I was painfully roused from sleep by bouts of
coughing and vomiting. By the time we reached the hospital, I
was delirious with fever and blisters covered my body"
Roselle had Stevens-Johnson syndrome, caused by
intolerance to the medication. She suffered horribly, bleeding,
with a 42-degree-celsius fever and third-degree burns all over her
body. She could not open her eyes because, after they bled, the
dried blood fused the lids shut... thankfully, with massive doses of
steroids, she was discharged.
Her burnt skin peeled off (and she opened) her eyes to
the darkness. She was away from school for two years.
"My family did not neglect
me. My siblings took turns reading
books for me or narrating my
favorite cartoon programs...
Yet a question kept nagging at me:
"Will I ever go back to school again?"
She begged her father to let
her go to school. He fortunately
found the Special Education Center
5

Batino Elementary School in Project 3,

Quezon City.

Help one another

In 2001, Roselle made history by graduating summa cum
laude and valedictorian from Ateneo. In her speech, Roselle
credited the people who helped her achieve her dream.
Roselle gives the biggest credit to her family. "My father decided
to leave the job he had for 23 years to concentrate on me when I
lost my sight. He drove me to school, picked me up after class...
accompanied me when I joined interscholastic competitions and
always gave me moral support.
"At home, my parents and brothers read to me textbooks
and reference materials since they were not always available in
Braille... When I had to stay up late to complete a school project
or prepare for a test... the whole family was kept awake all
night... I am not the only one who is to graduate with honors; my
family, especially my father, deserves the recognition... because
my achievements are also theirs."
Roselle has courage. She did not despair and even gives
thanks. "Although God took away my pair of eyes, He has
definitely given me many pairs of eyes and now I see better.
Somehow, God has done the same thing for all of us. Everybody
experiences disabilities, one way or another; mine is just more
obvious than yours.
"But we are all fortunate to have loved ones who help us
bear the burdens brought about by our weaknesses. We may find
ourselves in the dark but we should not be afraid to move
forward because we have the light of our stars to count on and to
be thankful for."

In this section, the discussion is about unity and cooperation and

ways how to preserve them. By now, you should be able to
answer this questions:

Why families need unity and cooperation?

BuildYour
Build YourCharacter
Character

Unity is a word, which means the acting together of people

(in the case of a family, the members) to achieve a common goal.
It is a twin value of cooperation. The latter is the ability to join
forces to gain harmony.
Unity and cooperation are best exercised with various values
such as self- sacrifice, helpfulness, dedication, industry, service,
concern for others and dependence to God. Here are some
descriptions of each value as used in the context of the family:
Concern -demonstrations of care and the giving of
importance to family members and other people.
Cooperation -the joint effort of family members to reach their
goal.
Dedication -commitment to the family's motto, way of
life, ambition and goals.
Dependence -trust in and reliance on God.
Dignity -the quality of finding honor, worth and esteem in
any work or job assigned to attain the family goal.
10
 Learning Module EsP 8: Family: Fortress of the Filipino Youth | Ms. Razel A. Funtilar

Frugality -wise spending of resources such as time, effort,

energy and money.
Helpfulness -being useful and of service to others.
Industry -diligence in performing one's tasks for the
good of the family.
Self-sacrifice -denial of one's self for the benefit of the family.
Service -the work performed for the welfare of the family
and others.
Why can't we exercise family unity without the values
mentioned? Think of it this way: we can't be united if we don't
have harmony. Just like in an orchestra, some will play the
woodwind instruments, some, the strings, some, the brass and
some, the percussion, but all will play under the baton of one
conductor. Without harmony in the orchestra, there will be no
music, only noise.
The same is true with the family. A goal cannot be achieved
without the joint effort of each member, doing his or her own
part. There is joy in working with others as the work is
accomplished faster. The load of each one has to carry becomes
lighter. Today's fast paced lifestyle of society has caused to drift
away from one another. It is pitiful that the values of unity and
cooperation are also fast fading and disappearing. The effects are
often disastrous as children are left to rend for themselves.
Unable to find support from their own homes, they look for it in
their peer groups, some of which also do not have supportive
families and thus lack proper family values, too. Children learn to
join gangs or fraternities for that "brotherhood" feeling and in the
11
 Learning Module EsP 8: Family: Fortress of the Filipino Youth | Ms. Razel A. Funtilar

process they get hooked on hardened character and lose their

desire to achieve or much worse, live.
How then can we preserve family unity today Understand
that family unity is everyone’s business, including yours. What
you do and how you behave in your home will affect the other
members of your family. A good deed done gives birth to
another. Here are some tips on how you can preserve family
unity.

1. Spend time with your family. Family traditions, especially

those involving the practice of faith like going to church or
saying prayers and simple family gatherings should be given
priority over other things like watching TV, surfing the net,
going out with your barkada and the like.

2. Look out for the interest of your family members. A

member of your family might need a skill that you can
provide, maybe helping a sister with a school project or
cooking meals for your family. Whatever they may need
from you, offer your help readily.

3. Support your family's goals. Look for ways to make life

easier for each family member. It might just mean
performing your own responsibilities around the home or
giving your time or using your talents and skills to improve
the family business. Accept your part of the workload and
make an effort to go beyond what is expected of you.

4. Communicate. There are several verbal and non-verbal

ways to express your love and concern for the members of
your family. Do whatever you can to express this love.
12
 Learning Module EsP 8: Family: Fortress of the Filipino Youth | Ms. Razel A. Funtilar

Communication bridges gaps, irons out differences and

makes life harmonious.

5. Lend an ear. Take the time to listen. Your family members

might be able to give you feedback that can help you. They
might have suggestions on how you can make your tasks
easier. Their advice is important because they are the ones
who could be most concerned of your welfare.

6. Be understanding and forgiving. You will discover that

your family is not perfect. Each member has his/her own
strengths and weaknesses. Be ready to accept these
differences and forgive the faults of each one.

7. Appreciate each member. Each family member has a

unique trait or characteristics that he/she may use to
contribute to the family's growth and well-being. Try to
identify this and make that person feel important. Every man
wants to be appreciated for his value and his worth.

8. Allow the family to enter your private world. If there is

one place where you should be able to open yourself up and
still be accepted, it should be your home. Don't be afraid to
be vulnerable. Share your dreams, disappointments, fears,
longings, etc. Accept help, affection and rebuke. By doing
these, you would make your loved ones know that they are
special to you.
