She’s a very responsible on
being the “Ilaw ng Tahanan” in
our home. She always did her
best to give us the something we
need or sometimes the things
that we only want.
She’s a very lovable
person/mother, she showed us

single thing that she do.

in our neighborhood would
agree to that. She would do
anything that she can just to
help others in need.

are talking about or didn’t know the person as much as you are.

he/she is, and what are his/her characteristics as a whole.
4. Does a portion of the figure (square, triangle, etc.) tell us the actual appearance of the same figure as a
whole?

• Learning Task 6: In your notebook, write a five-paragraph personal insight about the topic
below.

“I can understand and describe humankind through my own essence.”

The true nature of man may be understood if we recognize the beauty that surrounds us when
we view things as they should be. We must not let others to exert influence over us based on their
previous experiences with others. A bitter lady may often make a guy doubt his own existence or the
meaning of his life on this planet.
Man will view himself as a natural leader once he understands the meaning of existence. Men
must be able to handle pressure because no one else will. However, not all men are born to lead.
Even if this is somewhat true, we must remember that he hates oppression and any situation
that forces him to question his own existence. But, if we understand the true meaning of our existence,
which is to live a happy and peaceful life with one another, we can avoid this stress and prevent basic
math from becoming a large equation.
This essence is an acquired ability that enables man to effectively change the conditions of his
physical, mental, and social existence based on positive knowledge of the world and of himself (as a
social being); in order to fully reduce, but never completely remove, the contradiction between
subjective man and objective Nature, between humanity and the world.
Since a man can develop and solve issues on his own, his essence has been developed. Material
items were developed by men to help them improve their level of living and provide additional sources
of nourishment.
