differentiate the two statements below.
 Eighteen more inmates and a jail employee
from the Zamboanga City Reformatory

which is based on the given evidence.

through contact with other inmates.

B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation of the Topic

Based on the activity that we have done, what

do you think is our topic for today?

It’s okay that you don’t know because that

will be tackled today in our session.

Our topic for today is about “ Formulating a

Statement of Opinion or Assertion”

2. Unlocking of Difficulties
 Statement – something that you say or
write in a formal or official way.
 Declaration – the act of making an
official statement about something.
 3. Discussion

 Opinion a statement of personal belief, feeling

or thought. Does not require proof.
o Statements of opinion usually start with
signal phrases such as I think or I believe
and have words like best, worst, beautiful,
outstanding, or should.
o Statements of opinion have to do with
one’s preference or emotions
Example:
1. Chocolate ice cream is the best flavor of ice
cream sold.
2. Ice cream sundaes should always come with a
cherry on top.
3. I think my outlook in life was changed by the
pandemic.

 Assertion a statement that many people

assume to be true but which is not necessarily
so.
o Statements of assertion do not start with a
phrase I think or I believe.
o Statements of assertion are considered as
declarations, as if they were true even
though they may not be.
Example:
1. Doctors are the smartest people on Earth.
2. Milk is good for your body.
3. Taking vitamins everyday makes you healthy
and strong.

3. Application

ASSERTION.
Statements:
My last summer is the best summer ever
I think my car payments are too expensive.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
The legal age for drinking should be lowered
to sixteen.

The government is promoting another way

of greeting another person while ensuring health
safety amid the pandemic.
House Resolution No. 408 urges the
government to promote placing one’s palm at the
center of the chest together with a slight nod as a
customary Filipino gesture of goodwill. This is
more commonly known as “Bating Filipino.”
The resolution was filed by Marikina Rep.
Bayani Fernando in July 2019, and was officially
adopted last February 2020.
This intends to replace the usual handshake
to reduce transmission of the virus causing COVID-
19.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, people are
being reminded to always practice social distancing
since the virus can be passed through droplets
coming from an infected person.
Fernando told CNN Philippines’ News.PH
that the new way Filipino greeting shows sincerity
and respect towards another person.
The representative added that government
agencies, specifically the Department of Education,
should help in spreading awareness about this.
 A video has been circulating online that
promotes the use of such greeting.
