“Anak ng Pasig”

Ako'y umusbong sa tabi ng Pasig

Nagisnan ang ilog na itim ang tubig
Lumaking paligid ng bundok na umuusok
Langhap na langhap ang amoy ng basurang bulok

Ito ang buhay ng anak ng Pasig

Pa-swimming swimming sa itim na tubig
Playground lang ang bundok ng basura mo
Musika'y ugong ng kotse at bangka n'yo

Anak ng Pasig naman kayo

Kalat doon, kalat dito
Natakpan na ang langit kong ito
Nilason din ang Ilog ko
 
Akala ko'y ganoon talaga ang mundo
Hanggang nakakita ako ng lumang litrato
Di maniwalang Pasig din ang tinitignan ko
Kaibigan ano ang nangyari dito
(Anong nangyari? Anong nangyari?)
 
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Kalat doon, kalat dito
Natakpan na ang langit kong ito
Nilason din ang Ilog ko
 
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Tapon doon, tapon dito
Di n'yo alam ang tinatapon n'yo
Ay bukas ko at ng buong mundo
 
Huli na ba ang lahat
Patay na ba ang ilog at dagat
Kapag Pasig ay pinabayaan
Parang bukas ang tinalikuran
 
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Kalat doon, kalat dito
Natakpan na ang langit kong ito
Nilason din ang Ilog ko
 
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Tapon doon, tapon dito
Di n'yo alam ang tinatapon n'yo
 3

Ay bukas ko at ng buong mundo

 
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
May bukas pa ang ating mundo.

b. Presentation:

Reading Information or knowing details of a story or an event is important

to gather facts or information. Through reading an article it helps build
comprehension skills and vocabulary.

c. Lesson Proper

According to Baraceros (2005, p. 69), the term details are “particular facts,
or ideas related to the topic, to the events, and to the character presented by the
author into the selection. To understand the selection easily, you must know how
to identify the details and which of these are essential to the story”.

He added that identifying details can be done through:

1. perceiving clearly or identifying the information or details presented by the
author;
2. identifying the subject matter of the topic; and
3. determining those things that are closely related to the topic.

For Example:

Steven Smith, a Nigerian citizen, tall, dark and a good looking man, rides on
a ferry boat for fun experience of his trip to the Philippines.

*The sentence shows the details about the characteristics of Steven Smith that
are a Canadian citizen, tall and a good looking man.

d1.Reading Selection

Pasig River

Pasig River is known as Ilog Pasig in Filipino, a popular river that connects
Manila Bay in Manila and Laguna de Bay in Laguna. It stretches 25 kilometers
and serves as a major transport route and source of water. In early 1500s,
commerce and daily needs of people have pressed Pasig River and its tributaries
into a tireless service (Maranga, n.d.)

During the Spanish period, the Pasig River has functioned as a means of
transportation and has become a source of people’s livelihood. The Spanish
settlers established Manila. They built the City of Intramuros where one can see
the churches like Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church, Plaza de Roma,
Palacio del Gobernador and Plaza de Santa Isabela. The Fort Santiago and Rizal
Shrine, are the nearest places to the southern bank of Pasig River near its mouth
 5

After World War II, the population in Manila began to grow and
construction of infrastructures has affected and started to contaminate near the
river. Large amount of garbage has been dumped in the river daily which has
caused destruction and has been declared as a dead river (Maranga, n.d).

Bethge (2006, para 1) pointed out that in the novel of Jose Rizal “El
Filibusterismo,” he describes how a captain navigates “Tabo” on the Pasig River
to the Laguna Bay. The Pasig River is rich in fish, mangroves grow and
bamboo bushes. In 1820, a Cholera epidemic broke out causing a big damage of
the river system.

However, the port of Manila was extended further at the end of the 19 th
century and Pasig River was canalized. It enabled a safer and more productive
use of waterway to the Laguna de Bay (Bethge, 2006, para 6).

Later, industrialization started to grow and more business was opened

causing water pollution of the river. People’s livelihood was affected and 30
years later, the ferry transportation has stopped.

In the late 1980s, the rehabilitation of Pasig River has started with the help
of Denmark. The so-called Pasig River Rehabilitation Program (PRRP) was
established together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) as the main agency with the coordination of the Danish International
Development Assistance (DANIDA). The community, local governments,
professional associations and business groups establish cooperation with the
PRRP. In 1999, President Joseph Estrada signed the Executive Order No. 54
constituting the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) to replace the
old PRRP.

Private organizations such as Clean and Green Foundations implemented the

Sagip Pasig Movement and Piso para sa Pasig campaign, the Belgian
government also offered P20 million for dredging the waterways.

In October 10, 2010, the “Run for Pasig River” has reached an estimated of
116,000 Filipinos to race fund for Pasig River and has put into Guinness World
Record as the most numbered of participants in a footrace set by San Francisco’s
“Bay to Breakers” race in 1988.

Pasig River is back into its business operation in February 14, 2007, with 14-
air conditioned ferry stations designed by Robert Cole. It has 150 seating
capacity, air conditioned room and high-definition television on board, bar and a
comfort room (Maranga, n.d)

Now, Pasig River is back to life. People enjoy cruising for a fun ferry
experience. More tourists are coming to see not just the beauty of the river but
also the beauty of Manila.
