B. Development 30minutes Read the following:
Pagpapaunlad Recognizing the Explicit and Processing the Implicit
Explicit (explicitus)
- obvious and apparent; directly stated
Implicit (implicitus)
- not expressed clearly; only suggested; indirectly stated

Recognizing the Explicit

Practice:
All living things are made up of cells. Since humans are alive, we are also made
of cells. Cells make our body tissue. Tissue makes our body organs. Organs make
our body systems. Cells are the building blocks of our bodies.
Here are 2 explicit questions to answer:
1. What are made of cells?
All living things are made up of cells.
2. What is the main idea of the text?
Cells are the building blocks of our bodies.
Explicit Information
- Explicit information is any idea that is stated.
- With explicit information, you see the text explained.
- Since you are looking for explicit information in what is read, the explicit
information will be written in the text. There is no need to look for clues. Just
read. If the information is written, it is explicit.

Processing the Implicit

What is the implied message with this ad?

Implicit Message
 This is an example of implicit advertising which implies a rivalry between
two more car manufacturers, BMW and Jaguar.
 This advertisement uses no written communications whatsoever, just two
car bonnets facing off to each other, like a head-to-head, showing
more of the BMW making its presence more prominent implying it is the
more powerful car.
Implicit Message
- Messages are implied, rather than expressly stated.
- Uses visuals rather than literally saying or explicitly saying what they
mean. More of a hidden message.
- Can entangle the real or intended message.

FACTS AND OPINION

Fact
- a statement about the real world reinforced by reliable evidence; can express
explicit or obvious information; remains the same; a true piece of information

KINDS OF FACTS
1. Empirical Facts
- facts that can be proven by scientific observation, experience, or experiment
Example: The Philippines is composed of three major islands, namely Luzon,
Visayas, and Mindanao.
2. Analytical Facts
- facts that make use of various operations in mathematics to prove a
statement
Example: 5 x 3 means 5 + 5 + 5 = 15
3. Evaluative Facts
- facts that are supported by laws, local and international, and ideally give
order
Example: Use of plastic bags in the markets of Calamba City is strictly prohibited.
4. Metaphysical Facts
- facts that are verified by revelatory evidence or self-evidence
- facts that are assumed to be true without external evidence
Example: All men are created equal.

Opinion
- a statement expressing one's feelings or personal judgment

Claim
- refers to a clear assertion of a person’s ideas, opinions, or propositions. The use
of claims may serve the purpose of convincing or persuading readers or a
specific audience to agree with a specific stand or rationale on an issue.

1. Claims of Fact. This category of claims states something about things in the
past, in the present, and in the future. This also deals with ideas or claims that
can be proven or disproved with the help of factual evidence. This fact claim
is basically debatable yet verifiable.
Example: The 2020 national budget amounting to Php4.1 trillion, which is 12
percent larger than the 2019 budget, can really help in boosting the economy
through various infrastructural projects. (The claims focus on the budget and the
possible result of its implementation in terms of economic growth. These can be proven
[or disproved] after the actual implementation of the target infrastructural projects using
the given amount specified in the national budget.)

2. Claims of Value. A claim of value, also known as value claim, presents an

assertion as to whether something is good or bad, or one concept or idea is
better than another. This also emphasizes and weighs the benefits of the subject
matter. This is debatable in nature since people may have different opinions on
the given claims or concepts.
Example: If I were to choose, I would prefer the work from home (WFH) scheme
than working in the office as this gives me more family time. (The claim is based
on one’s opinion or judgment about the worth of WFH scheme. This is arguable since
benefits of WFH may vary from one person to another.)

3. Claims of Policy. A claim of policy supports that an action should or should

not be done to address a certain case or policy. Policy claim indicates that an
action should be carried out either in support or in opposition of a particular
argument.
Example: The city’s health department must learn from how other cities
successfully address the concerns against COVID-19. (This claim supports the idea
of learning from the best practices of other cities leading to a particular call to action.)
