C. Discussion
Statements or words we heard
everyday can be facts or just an
opinion that is why we are to be
mindful and smart enough to
distinguish them.
Do you know the difference
between facts and opinions?
Not yet, ma’am!
In order for us to know and me sure
about every statement we hear or
listen to, let us define and
differentiate these two words.
• Fact – is statement proven to be
true.
o It is backed by evidence,
documentation, etc.
o It is based on observation
or research.
o It is objective reality.
o It can be verified.
o It is universal.
o It is shown with unbiased
words.
o It is not debatable.
 Example:
▪ President Rodrigo Roa
Duterte is the
incumbent president
of the Philippines.
▪ The COVID-19 virus
was first reported
present in humans in
Wuhan, China.

With all the definitions, can you

give me a statement that is a fact?
Covid-19 is deadly.

Brilliant! Any more?

One of the basic need of humans is
food.
That’s correct!

Now let us go to opinion.

• Opinion – is a stated preference

or idea, which may vary from
source to source or person to
person.
o It is what a person
believes or thinks about
something.
o It is based on assumption
or personal view.
o It is subjective statement.
o It cannot be verified.
o It differs from person to
person.
o It is expressed with biased
words.
o It is debatable.
Example:
▪ It is more fun in the
Philippines.
 ▪Ice cream is sweeter
than cake.
Can you also give me an example
of opinion?
Milk Tea is more delicious that soda.

Correct! Give me another

example.
Staying in the Philippines is better
than going abroad.

Very good! You really understood

our lesson.
D. Generalization
To know whether you were able to
remember our topic please fill in
the missing words to complete the
statement.
Fact is based on what?
It is based on observation and
research, ma’am.

Very good! Opinion is based on?

It is based on assumption and
personal view.

That’s right! Fact is _____ reality.

It is an objective reality.

Correct! Opinion is_____.

It is a subjective statement.

Very good! If fact can be verified,

opinion _________.
It cannot be verified.
 Yes, that’s right!
Children, why do you think it is
important for us to distinguish a
certain statement whether it is a
fact or just an opinion?
It is important because it if we
immediately believe a certain
statement, we may be fooled or
turn into a wrong idea or belief.
Very good! So, in order for us to
assess whether the one we are
hearing is a fact or just an opinion,
what are we going to do?
We need top engage ourselves
more to reading and researching,
not just listening to other people and
their experience because it is not all
the time that we will experience the
same thing.
That’s right!
