Activity 4: Relating the Truth

Read the following text. Judge the relevance and worth of ideas, and soundness of speaker’s reasoning.

Conversion, renewal

Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle challenged government leaders involved in the anomalies to undergo
conversion and renewal. “There is corruption everywhere. If proven, there should be conversion from those who committed it,”
Tagle said over Radio Veritas. The cardinal earlier said that the pork barrel scam was a form of injustice, saying that
“instead of giving what is due to others and to the country, resources are being denied from them.” “We do not only lack love for
others but we also lack a sense of justice,” he said during Caritas Manila’s Generosity Conference on Sunday.
Tagle called on Filipinos to turn their back from greed by “letting the values of fairness and generosity reign in their lives.”
He urged the faithful to be sensitive to the needs of the less fortunate.

Performance Task: A Symbol of Love

It is human nature to commit mistakes and to fall short in fulfilling our duties and responsibilities. On the other hand, the
offender has the obligation to express remorse and ask forgiveness from the offended party.
As a child, how will you express your respect and love to your parents despite their shortcomings? These values must be
retained to establish a harmonious relationship among the members of the family. You may draw a symbol or cut and paste photos
to represent them or you may write your thoughts and plans to visualize them.
