What’s New
Read carefully the editorial text. Take note of the important details including
the message of the text.
President Duterte is in the mood for eating kilawin again. The President, in a
meeting Wednesday with local officials in Davao del Sur, showed a mobile phone with
photos of two Vietnamese hostages decapitated by the Abu Sayyaf. This was hours
after the bodies of Hoang Thong and Hoang Va Hai were found by villagers in the town
of Sumisip in Basilan. “I will eat your liver if you want me to. Give me salt and vinegar
and I will eat it in front of you,” Duterte said, addressing the Abu Sayyaf. “I eat
everything. I am not picky. I eat even what cannot be swallowed.” The President had
issued a similar warning in April, saying he could be 50 times more vicious than the Abu
Sayyaf, after the terrorists clashed with government forces in Bohol. The Armed Forces
of the Philippines, which has seen dozens of its members decapitated by the Abu
Sayyaf, does not have the appetite for ceviche a la Duterte. But the beheading of the
two Vietnamese ship crewmembers is a reminder to the AFP about the continuing
threat posed by the Abu Sayyaf in conflict zones outside Marawi.
The Supreme Court, in its ruling upholding the validity of the President’s
Mindanao wide martial law Proclamation 216, has linked Abu Sayyaf attacks together
with depredations committed by other terrorist groups to the rebellion that the SC
deemed as sufficient justification for declaring martial law. The response to the rebellion
should not overlook the threat posed by the Abu Sayyaf in the island provinces of
Basilan and Sulu, where the group is still holding other hostages for ransom, most of
them foreigners. Security officials have admitted being surprised by the ferocity of the
Maute fighters in Marawi. AFP resources are focused on the battle to rid Marawi of
Maute terrorists and find the Abu Sayyaf’s Isnilon Hapilon, reportedly the Islamic State
commander in the Philippines, who is believed holed up in the ruined city. The
beheading of the Vietnamese could be a diversion to reduce pressure on the terrorists
still in Marawi. But it is also a reminder that government forces cannot ease up on the
Abu Sayyaf in other parts of Mindanao. AFP members must make good on the threat of
their commander-in-chief to eat the Abu Sayyaf alive.

What I Can Do
Read carefully the editorial text. Then answer the questions that follow.
In the time of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), fake news about the
disease is doing as much as harm as the disease.
There's fake news about hospitals and areas having patients with the
virus even though they have none; there's fake news the virus only survives in
cold weather (ergo, not in tropical countries); there's fake news about herbal
medicines that can fight the virus.
Fake news and unfounded fears have caused so much panic that some
medical goods — N95 masks, surgical masks, alcohol — are now in short
supply for those who need them most, such as doctors and nurses.

Graphic Organizer
What is It
Graphic Organizers
are visual and graphic displays that organize ideas and demonstrate
relationships between different information and concepts. They are designed
to improve learning outcomes for learners, review information, and are
especially helpful to learners who struggle with arranging information.
have many different forms. Each has its own unique way of organizing and
displaying specific bits of information.
have the following examples that can help you organize thoughts and
develop reading strategies.
T-Chart
helps you organize ideas into two columns and examine two components of
an object, concept, or events. It can be used in any content area to examine
the pros and cons of something, advantages and disadvantages, and facts
and opinions. It can be utilized to select and compare two things such as
ideas, characters, events, etc.
11
Concept Map
shows relationships between the main idea and other information. Concepts
or ideas are represented in circles or boxes and are linked to related ideas
with arrows. Most concept maps represent a hierarchical structure with the
most general concepts or ideas presented at the top of the map and the more
specific or sub-ideas presented below. Another feature of a concept map is
the inclusion of cross-links to demonstrate relationships between concepts
in different segments of the concept map.
starts with a central idea and branches out into related ideas and details (or
sub-ideas). Sometimes referred to as spider or semantic maps, this type of
graphic organizer is used primarily for brainstorming and generating ideas
for planning or writing purposes.
Venn Diagram
uses to compare and contrast two or more groups of things by visually
displaying their similarities and differences in two or more circles that
overlap. Similar information between topics is presented where a circle from
one category overlaps with a circle from another category. Features that do
not fit in both categories are placed where the two circles do not overlap.
Venn diagrams can serve to increase understanding of a relationship
between two or more concepts.
Sequence Chart
presents a series of steps or events in order. Many learners need a visual aid
to help clarify a sequence of events in a story or to come to conclusions
about different cause and effect (or problem and solution) relationships
between multiple events in a text. You can use this type of organizer as a
flowchart to organize thoughts as a prewriting activity.

A Happy Home
I could never forget my summer vacation this 2020. Our barangay
was put under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) and I was not
allowed to go out. My mother assigned me some household chores like
fixing my bed, sweeping the floor, washing dishes and watering the plants.
I enjoyed doing my tasks every morning. My father told me I could rest
every afternoon and I loved it because I could do my favorite hobby which
is reading. I usually sat on our bamboo chair reading different
reading materials like story books, newspapers, comics and
magazines.
This was not my usual summer vacation. But I never felt bored
though I stayed home. I was home and happy.
