RENAISSANCE ART IN EUROPE
The word Renaissance literally means “rebirth” and is the French translation
of the Italian rinascita. It is the term used to describe the new European attitudes and
values that took the place of medievall worldview. Renaissance art includes
paintings, sculptures, architecture, and allied arts produced in Europe between 1400
and 1600. It owed much to succession of great Italian painters and sculptors.
A revival of the classical forms originally developed by the ancient Greeks and Romans
1. MICHELANGELO (1475-1564)
Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese, a village in Italy, in
1475. He grew up in Florence, the artistic center of Europe during the
1400s. At 13, he began to train as a painter. Michelangelo was an
artist of extraordinary ability. He was known primarily as an
outstanding painter and sculptor, but he was also an accomplished architect and
poet. He had a strong personality as well.
Although there have been many theories about the origin of the calm
gaze and mysterious smile on the woman’s face, it may have been
the result of Leonardo’s interest in natural chiaroscuro. (the effect of
light and shadow on the subject).
The painting’s mistiness and fading colors illustrates Leonardo’s
technique of modifying the atmosphere through color
3.RAPHAEL (14-83-1520)
Raphael is considered to be one of the greatest and most popular
artists of all time. He was born Rafaello Santi (or Rafaello Sanzio)
in Urbino on April 6, 1483 and received his early training in art
from his father, the painter Giovanni Santi. Being younger,
Raphael was considered during his time as the next master
painter to inherit the fame of Leonardo da Vinci.
4. DONATELLO (1386-1466)
Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi, known as Donatello, was the
greatest sculptor of the early Renaissance. He was a master
stonecutter. In addition, he also had a great understanding of
human behavior as shown in his work title, Mary Magdalene.
ART AWARENESS
The rediscovery of Greco-Roman arts and sciences together with the Arabic
knowledge of algebra and navigations awakened when various city-states of Italy
were the entry points of trade in Europe in the mid-15th century.
In the 15th century, Florence in Italy was among the richest cities in Europe. Its ruler,
Lorenzo de Medici, financed a huge amount of money on research and projects
hiring scientists and artists in his speedy drive to augment European technology in
catching up with the advancement of the East. Lorenzo was great patron of the arts.
Those under his protection were Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Botticelli.
Renaissance painting reflects the revival of interest in classical culture and a strong
belief in individualism. Examples of these are the works of Masaccio (1401-28), who
is one of the great innovators of the Renaissance period. This is shown in his
painting called the Expulsion of Paradise. The influence of classical sculpture is
shown on the pose of Eve whose arms attempt to cover her naked body. This
artwork is one of the fresco paintings of Masaccio. He is considered the pioneer of
Renaissance painting.
Other famous paintings produced during this period are “The Annunciation” by fra
Angelico (c.1400-55),” “The Madonna of Chancellor Nicolas Rolin” by Jan van Eyck
(c.1390-1441), and “The Birth of Venus” by Botticelli (1445-1510). The
Annunciation” is an outstanding example of the application of the laws of perspective
to the representation of space.
Expulsion of Paradise The Madonna of The Birth of Venus
Chancellor
Renaissance sculpture shows strong interest in the ancient past. An example of this
is the work of Lorenzo Ghiberti. He cast two sets of bronze doors for the Florence
Baptistery. These bronze doors both demonstrate his knowledge of ancient
sculpture. The second set, which is known as the Gates of Paradise (1425-1452),
shows his mastery of the laws of scientific perspective, which had been discovered
only recently during that time.
BAROQUE ART
Baroque art is a style that dominated the art of Europe and some Spanish and
Portuguese settlements in the Americas during the 16 th century until 1750.
The use of curvilinear and swirling lines to convey the emotions of life subjects,
projecting them to be lifelike and real, makes “baroque” art pieces fascinating.
Furthermore, the emotional drama expressed, which is usually arranged by the use
of “chiaroscuro” (the play of dark and light), may draw the viewers to be thrilled.
THE APPROACHES OF THE ARTISTS IN APPLYING THE TECHNIQUE SEEM
TO VARY ACCORDING TO THE RELIGION WHICH THE PARTICULAR ARTISTS
PROFESSES.
In the Catholic South where Rome was the On the other hand, the Protestant North,
center, painters chose religious subjects to where Netherlands was the key player,

businessmen and middle class.
In between the Northern and Southern trends of Baroque style were the paintings of
prominent personalities and the monarchies. In Protestant Netherlands, though,
people from all walks of life were included to appear as subjects of portraiture.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ARTWORKS
Caravaggio’s Artworks
1. One of the origins of greater realism which depicts figurative figures of real life and
natural style, Caravaggio filled in what the previous Renaissance artists lack-swirling
figures that appear like moving figures.
2. The play of dark and light (chiaroscuro) on figures added the show of characters.
The position of subjects draws more viewers to be involved into the event that took
place in the canvas. This is called as the theatrical spectacle.
3. Almost all of his art pieces are symmetrical. The texture of paint is creamy and
broad often resulting in thick impasto.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ARTWORKS
Ruben’s Artworks
1. The lines are swirling, curving, and diagonal, conveying motion and energies.
2. The motifs are Greek myths and history to represent the social and political events
of his time.
3. Most often, voluptuous women are his favorite subject to convey his insatiable
adoration of the women whom he is related and some who patronized his art.
4. The source of line is indefinite, suggesting his mastery of tenebrism.
5. Fair skin of the main subject in the canvass is always emphasized, and whose
motion drew the other background subjects to coordinate.
6. Sometimes, the composition is asymmetrical.
3. DIEGO RODRIGUEZ DE SILVA Y VELAZQUEZ (1599-1660, Spanish-Catholic)
Born in Southern Spain, in the town of Seville where an artistic community thrives,
Velasquez grew up and was trained in the refinement of arts. Like many of his
contemporaries, he was acquainted with Italian masters of the Renaissance.
ARTWORKS
He used brushes with long bristles, which helped his rendition of “sitting” very quick.
Until this time, his mastery of human expression is unequaled.
His brushstrokes almost penetrate the character of his subject like the grim
expression of Pope Innocent X and regal bearings of the maid of honors, “Las
Meninas”. Almost all of his subjects-from man to beast-breathed life, so real and
inspiring.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ARTWORKS
Characteristics of Velasquez’ Artworks
1. Diego Velasquez’s firm determination to fuse form and content to convey his
subjects into the canvas reflected the style of his art. He mastered the formation of
the sitters (models) so that their arrangement always appears excellent.
2. His portraiture of Pope Innocent X is imposing. The grim red countenance
reflected the stern character of the person who comes from the family of Borgia in
Italy, known as despotic rulers.
3.He uses lines that pointed well to the overall movement of the nobility of his
subjects.
ARTWORKS
His brilliant execution of chiaroscuro is quite unorthodox since light comes from
definite source. But this approach made him effectively convey the emotions and
character of his subjects.
ARTWORKS
Several masterpieces of artworks established him as a prolific noble
artist who was authorized by papacy to do religious art design. In
fact, Pope Urban VIII commissioned him to build a symbolic
structure over the tomb of St. Peter’s basilica in Rome. His
architectural design of symbolic structure over the tomb of St. Peter
suggested a baroque classical music frozen to be appreciated for
an indefinite time.

Introducing the Arts of the Neoclassic
and the Romantic Period
LESSON PROPER
NEOCLASSICAL ART
How did the Neoclassical movement in arts come about?
Many artists during mid-17th century profited much from the nobles and the
royals. They did this by catering to the vanities and extravagance of the rich people
during those times as they were commissioned to paint for them.
What are the characteristics of Neoclassical art?
Neoclassical art appears calm and clear. Although feelings are restrained, the
expression looks complete.
Who are the famous artists that represent the Neoclassical period? What are
the art elements and principles used in creating art pieces of the
Neoclassical period?
Artistic Style: The lines and forms of David’s paintings are in juxtaposition of
vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. This style is used to convey the theatrical
element. This is shown in the painting “The Death of Socrates” in which the
Philosopher Socrates made a strong upward gesture. The way it was painted by
David Showed the strength and firmness in Socrates’ steadfastness in his belief and
principle even in the face of death. The use of chiaroscuro (the play of light and dark)
is subtly employed. This style is used to emphasize the mood of courage, patriotism,
and brotherhood. The space is well-utilized so as to be balanced with colors and
shapes.
Subject: David’s subjects are his ideal heroes. His central figure in his work is
always a man or men who dominated the whole scene. These classical characters
are well-known for their virtuous actions and are worthy to be emulated.
2. Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867)-French
Ingres was a student of David. Ingres, however, did not join the
militant movements like his teacher. Though not revolutionary, Ingres had
a strong admiration to the strong personality of the post-revolution leader,
Emperor Napoleon.
Ingres was a highly gifted artist. He went to Rome as a scholar. His
academic success went as far as being appointed President in the most
prestigious art university in France, the Ecole des Beaux Arts.
Art Motif: Religion, history, and Greek myths as motif of almost all of his
masterpieces.
Artistic Style: The content (mood, character, and idea) of his paintings is well
combined by the colors and direction of lines. He painted objects in solid and weighty
form to convey strength. He also used smooth textures to express elegance. Ingres
is a master of using neutral earth colors to depict antiquity. This is a technique that
helps him to express the nostalgic mood of the remote past.
ROMANTIC PERIOD
Romanticism in art extends from about 1800 to 1850 in Europe and in
America.
The word romantic originally referred to something “romance-like.” This
means one that resembles the strange and fanciful character of medieval romances.
The word came to be associated with the increasing emphasis in aesthetic theory
during those times. The term Romanticism, on the other hand, is a movement in art
and literature during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is worthy to note that the
Romantic Movement in arts valued imagination and emotion over reason.
What are the ideas, moods, and messages that are conveyed by the artwork of
the Romantic period?
● The arts during the Romantic period were expressive of intense feelings. The
artists were highly imaginative and emotional. Their works had a kind of mystic and
dreamlike quality.
● During the 18th century, feelings or emotion began to be considered more
important than reason. This was shown in other forms of art like literature.
● In addition to reasons, feelings and imagination began to be strongly reflected
in the visual arts.
What are the influences of the Romantic Movement on the succeeding art
movement?
1. The Romantic Movement affected the moral, social, and political life of the
Europeans and Americans for almost half a century (1800-1850). It became the
visual, musical, and literary expression of man’s basic rights and his exercise of
freedom.
2. The Romantic Movement contributed in the development of nationalistic pride.
It was used as a way of expressing the superiority of the senses and emotions over
reason and intellect.
3. Romanticism highly influenced the next form of art. A line can be traced from
Englishman watercolorist John Constable through the Barbizon school to
Impressionism.
4. A more direct influence of Romanticism was Symbolism, which had refined or
intensified the romantic characteristic of highlighting emotions, imaginations, and
dreamlike qualities.
5. Romanticism continues to influence the 20th century Expressionism and
Surrealism. This is shown in Romanticism’s basic principles of originality,
self-expression, and artistic freedom.
What are the elements and art principles used during the romantic period?
1. Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828)- Spanish Artist
Jose de Goya is considered one of the greatest artists in Spain. In
his childhood, he was already tutored by a famous art teacher named
Luzan in Saragoza, Spain. He continued his art studies in Rome, which made him a
master artist.
He became the official painter of the royal court of King Charles IV when he
went back to Spain. Goya became deaf due to unknown illness during his midlife. As
he grew old, he became aloft and very critical of the social and political events of his
time. It was also noticeable that his paintings became “dark and pessimistic.” His
artistic works during this time included images of ghosts and witches. He died in
1828. He remained famous in the art world because of his ability to read human
character and effectively portray that character on his canvas.
The Third of May Isabel
Who are the artists that best represent the Romantic period? How did they use
their artwork to derive the traditions/history of their culture (landscapes,
images of people at work and play, portrait studies, etc.)?
EUGENE FERDINAND VICTOR DELACROIX
(1798-1863)
Subject: Delacroix used his art in expressing his sympathy and appreciation of the
works of the masses or the common men. Thus, one of his favorite subjects was the
activities of the common men.
Art Style: To display the energy that is present in the activities of common men, he
used swirling, curved lines and strong colors to convey motions. The content of his
artworks was movement. Ge was not fond of using sharp chiaroscuro in
manipulating dark and light spaces. Instead, he handled black in the range of brown
and purple.
THEODORE GERICAULT
(1792-1824)
Theodore Gericault was a major artist during the French
Romantic movement. He was well-known to portray battle through
paintings of suffering and endurance rather than heroism and
glory.
J.M.W TURNER
J.M.W. Turner is considered as the
first major artist to paint outdoor. This
manner or style of painting in the open air
or “plein-air” in French became popular in
France in mid-19th century. By using bright
and luminous colors combined with his
bold, thick brushwork, Turner succeeded
in translating his great artist’s vision. Neapolitan Fisher
Neapolitan Fisher Girls, Surprised, Girls, Surprised,
Bathing in Moonlight is Turner’s oil painting late in life. In this Bathing in Moonlight
painting, he made use more of abstraction of form and
space. He also remained true to his style of using loose
washes in order to express emotion rather than to tell a
story.
What is the difference between the arts of the Neoclassic and Romantic
periods?

ARTS
What are the theatrical forms from the different art periods?
The theatrical forms could be traced back to the Classical period, the Renaissance
period, and the Romantic period. The Greek theater represents the theatrical form of
the Classical period while Shakespearean theater best represents the Renaissance
period. The opera could well represent the Romantic period.
In ancient Greece, the theater served as the means of the people to express their
religious belief. The Greek theater made use of music, dances, and drama.
Greek plays were usually performed outdoors during the festivities honoring the god
of harvest, wine, fertility, and theater. During these celebrations, thousands of
Greeks gathered at the theaters.
Lysistrata was a famous ancient Greek comedy written by Aristophanes during the
turn of the 4th century B.C.E. The plot revolves around a strike by the women of
Athens. The woman demanded that the leaders of their city should stop engaging in
wars or else they will refuse to sleep with their husbands.
What are the elements and principles of arts as shown in Western Classical
plays?
Oedipus Rex
Plot
Oedipus Rex is a famous ancient
Greek tragedy written by Sophocles. It
was about the life of a man called
Oedipus, who at birth was prophesied
by an oracle that he would
unintentionally kill his father and marry
his mother.
Characters
- alternate in voicing contrasting
positions.
- uses the other character’s words
and suggests other meanings.
- possesses hamartia or tragic flaw
of character; in the case of
Oedipus, hubris, or excessive
pride
Unlike other plays during his time, which are full of symbols and abstractions,
Shakespeare’s stories are about men and women with string and weak qualities. The
plays are vehicles to understand more about life and love, acting and nationalism.
The plays have universal appeal because they are all about huma nature, character,
and motivation. They appeal to everyone because people could relate to
Shakespeare’s characters. Until now, Shakespeare’s plays continue to delight many
modern-day theatergoers because of their richness in language, artistry, and
meaning.
This scene from the 1989 movie version of Henry V shows the English King Henry
(Kenneth Branagh), who doesn’t speak French, courting the Princess Katherine
(Emma Thompson), who doesn’t speak English.
What are the elements and principles of arts as shown in Western Classical
plays?
Women’s Clothing
The costumes and sets of Shakespeare’s time influenced the production of the
plays? The visual effects were aided by the costumes of the plays as did the lighting
and the sound effects. The stages and sets created a realistic setting for a specific
location.
The opera gained popularity during the Romantic period. The opera’s main
characteristics are the following:
1. Lines
3. Shapes - shape, being the basic design element that is best described as
a closed outline that appears or occupies a certain space must be
emphasized on the stage. Whether it is two dimensional (painting) or
three-dimensional (installation or sculpture), the weight, the size, and the
texture must be pointed out.
4. Rhythm - the rhythm of the musical comes out when there is ordered
repetition of movement in the dances accompanied by songs. It comes to
light as simply repetitive, providing variations on a basic theme, or
indicating a progressive development.
5. Space - the floor space or the entire area in the stage floor is where the
cast, including their costumes and props, are presented to the open. The
area is neither large nor small but suitable enough for the cast to move
around.
6. Sound - during the antiquity of the Greek and roman dramas, the actors
are compelled or trained to project their voice to be audible, firm, and clear
enough for the audience to be heard.

BALLROOM DANCES
Nature and Background of Cha-Cha
Cha-Cha, together with Rumba and Mambo, are dances that
originated in Cuba and became popular in the 1940s and 1950s.
Rumba is characterized by an exaggerated and fast-swaying
movement of the hips while the Mambo is a slower variation of the
Rumba. The combination of these two dances led to the development
of Cha-Cha, which has a triple beat. The partners work together to
synchronize each movement in perfect alignment.

3. Disease Control
Drug use and abuse is a growing problem worldwide. In the Philippines, it has
increased dramatically, and most drug users are alarmingly young people. In 1972,
there were only about 20,000 drug users in the Philippines. In 2004, this figure has
climbed to an astounding 6.7 million but declined in 2012, with an estimated 1.3
million drug users. The decline in the number of drug users from 2004 to 2012 is a
result of the joint efforts of government authorities, as well as the cooperation of the
people in the community, in fighting against drug use and abuse. In his first State of
the Nation Address, President Rodrigo Duterte said that, based on the data from the
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), there were about 3 million drug
addicts in the country two or three years ago, and possibly 3.7 million now.
According to the 2015 result of the survey commissioned by the Dangerous Drug
Board under the Office of the President, the current drug use prevalence among
Filipinos aged 10 to 69 years old is at 2.3%, or an estimated 1.8 million users of the
more or less 100 million population of the Philippines. The survey was conducted
nationwide from Dec.5,2015 to Feb.5, 2016. The result of the survey is a picture of
the worsening drug use and abuse in the country. Considering the numbers
presented, drug abuse is really alarming in the country. This is the reason why the
government is steadfast in the fight of eradicating the supply and demand of illegal
drugs. President Rodrigo R. Duterte launched an all-out war against drug abuse and
drug trade because these are destroying the lives and future of the people.
DRUGS
A drug is any substance that is used in the diagnosis, cure, relief or prevention of
diseases. This chemical or substance affects a person physically, mentally, and
emotionally. Drugs can be beneficial to man. However, you have to know which
drugs are harmful, when, and why they are harmful.
CLASSIFICATIONS OF DRUGS
1. Non-prescription or Over the counter (OTC) drugs are drugs which do not
need prescription from a doctor in order to buy.
2. Prescription drugs are restricted drugs that can only be purchased legally
when prescribed by physicians.
1. Legal drugs are substances that are not prohibited by law in a country
2. Illegal drugs are those substances that are prohibited by law in a country. The
laws may prohibit the selling, buying, using, possessing, or manufacturing of
the drugs. Any of these acts carry penalties.
There are drugs that are considered legal in other countries but are illegal in the
Philippines, like marijuana. If in a country, the use or even possession of a certain
drug carry penalties, then that drug is considered illegal. If you are found in
possession or using illegal drugs, you have to face legal actions and the possibility of
going to prison.
C. Pharmacological Classification
1. Stimulants
2. Depressants
3. Hallucinogens
4. Narcotics
5. Inhalants
These drugs, however classified, are dangerous when not properly used. Most of
these substances are psychoactive drugs affecting the central nervous system. They
change moods, feelings, personality, and behavior.
The use of drugs has become a major help in the field of medicine. Drugs help
prevent or control many diseases as they relieve pain and help the body function
properly. However, even good things have their drawbacks. They also present us
with some of our worst problems and greatest challenges. A misuse of drugs has led
to abuse and addiction, the widespread illegal use of drugs has become a major
problem of the society. Drugs can become a substance of abuse. These substances
can turn harmful and fatal when not properly taken, that is, when there is abuse,
misuse, and dependence on the drug.
Substance/Drug Use
Have you ever been sick? Have you taken medicines? Medicines are legal drugs.
Your doctor may have described medicines for you to take to get well. If the medicine
was prescribed by a doctor, the patient must take the medicine as prescribed. If the
medicine can be bought over the counter, it must be used according to its intended
use so that you can benefit from the use of the drugs. That’s the positive side of drug
use. S
It is greatly important to protect and prevent the youth from getting into drugs. There
are risk factors that can lead to drug use. These factors can increase person’s
chances of abusing drugs or substances. There are also factors that may keep you
away from drug use which are called protective factors. These factors can reduce
the chances of drug or substance abuse.
RISK FACTORS
PROTECTIVE FACTORS
SUBSTANCE OF ABUSE
You have to understand that not only dangerous and illegal drugs are misused and
abused. Non-prescription or over the counter and legal drugs can also be abused as
well. Even the household products that we use every day can be misused and
abused. Whether legal or illegal, prescribed or non-prescribed drugs, when abused,
will be harmful to the body. Substances that are abused are classified according to
their characteristics and general effects to the body.
STIMULANTS
DEPRESSANTS
NARCOTICS
HALLUCINOGENS

naisama, parang katulad lang sa nangyari sa Filipino nuon kung naaalala mo pa.)
There are many ways to keep young people active and avoid peer pressure and
situations that could lead to drug use.

LESSON PROPER
INTENTIONAL INJURIES
What is an injury?
Injury is a damage to the body. It can be a result of an accident or an intentional
act. That is why injuries can be considered intentional or unintentional.
This is the reason why this is also called family violence. It includes
physical violence,
isolation from relatives or friends, emotional abuse, and financial
abuse. Victims of domestic violence often suffer not only from physical
injuries. They also suffer psychologically and emotionally as well.
Are you experiencing this kind of injury at home? You need to know that the abuse
is not your fault and you definitely don't deserve it. If this happens to you, you should
talk to someone you trust and be aware of the emergency services available to use
when necessary. Remember that children who are exposed to violence at home are
at risk of having violent relationships. The abuse will get worse if you wait for the
offenders to change.
2. Bullying
Bullying is an undesired aggressive behavior involving a real or perceived
superiority over others. This behavior is repeated or has potential to be repeated
over time.
Acts of bullying are types of injuries that are intentionally done. Recently, bullying
has been widespread through the internet or cyber media. Familiar
incidents are also experienced in schools and both the bullied and the
bully may have serious, lasting problems.
If you are being bullied, report it immediately to an adult like your
parents or teachers. Remember that no matter what the reason is
they do not have the right to bully you.
Do not give way to someone else's bullying. If you do it would give them the idea
that it is totally fine to bully you.
The Anti-Bullying Law in the Philippines aims to keep students safe from this type of
intentional injury. You need to understand the different forms of bullying and they are
as follows:
a) Verbal Bullying - Are there people who say or write mean things about you? Acts
such as teasing, name-calling, inappropriate sexual comments, taunting, and
threatening are considered verbal bullying.
You should know and learn how to choose friends and a group to go with.
Otherwise, your choice may result to a tragic situation.
5. Sexual Abuse
Sexual Abuse is an unwanted non-consensual sexual activity where the abuser
intentionally uses force, threats, and takes advantage of the victim.
The victim is not to blame and is not at fault for the non-consensual act of sexual
abuse. Immediate responses to sexual abuse include shock, fear or disbelief, and
long-term effects include anxiety, fear or post-traumatic stress disorder.
The following are some examples of sexual abuse:
● Unwanted kiss or touch
● Unwanted violent/painful sexual activity, rape or attempted rape
● Refusal to use methods for birth control (e.g., condoms)
● Sexual contact to drunk, drugged, unconscious or unable to tell a clear "yes" or
“no"
● Threatens someone into unwanted sexual activity
● Repeated pressure on someone into sex or to perform sex acts
● Repeated sexual insults
C. Incest is a sexual relation between close relatives. Most incest cases happen
in the form of an older family member sexually abusing or having a sexual
relationship with a child or an adolescent. In incest, the adult offender is
always at fault and the victim needs to understand that they are not to be
blamed. A sexually abused person might not report or might be reluctant to
report about the abuse.
Here are some reasons why victims of incest are reluctant to report about
abuse:
● Fear that his or her parent will be penalized by the law or the family will break
up
● Victim does not realize the form of abuse thinking it happens normally in
families
● The fear of how other people will react about the abuse like accusation of
wrongdoing or that no one will believe the victim
Victims should realize the need to report the abuse for it to stop and for them to
recover.
It is hard to tell if a person is a rapist. Here are some warning signs you should know.
STAY AWAY FROM:
● the person who acts strangely to you and makes you feel uncomfortable
● the person who pays no attention to you when you say no or stop
● the person who tries to touch you when you do not want to be touched
● the person who pushes you to do sexual things you do not want to do.
According to Republic Act No. 8353, known as the Anti-Rape Law of 1997, rape is
committed under the following circumstances:
A man has sexual intercourse with a woman:
1. through force, threat, or intimidation
2. when the victim is deprived of reason or is unconscious
3. through fraudulent machination or grave abuse of authority; and
4. when the victim is under 12 years of age or is demented, even if
none of the
above conditions are present (Statutory rape)
Any person who, under any of the above conditions, commits an act of sexual
assault through oral or anal sex or by inserting an instrument or object into the anal
or genital orifice of another person.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD AND BAD
TOUCH.
6. Suicide
Suicide is the act of intentionally killing oneself, mostly because of
extreme depression or intense pain. This act is usually planned. No
suicide can be considered unintentional. If you are depressed and in
intense pain, seek help from family and friends. Always bear in mind
that committing suicide is not a remedy to end depression and pain.
7. Homicide
Homicide is an intentional and unlawful killing of a person by another.
8. Kidnapping and Abduction
Kidnapping is a crime by taking away or forcefully transporting a
person, unlawfully, or without consent. It is usually done with the intent
to get benefits from the person or family like ransom, shield, or
hostage. Abduction is when deceit or force is used in order to take
someone from their home or relatives. The abductor does not demand
any profit or monetary gain from the victim. Kidnappers and abductors
may intentionally hurt or injure their victims just to get what they want.
9. Acts of Terror
Acts of terror is a criminal act, which aims a state of fear in the
general public, a group, or a particular person. Terrorist groups
create terror using violence, fear and intimidation, drawing
attention of the local populace, government, and the world to
their cause. In the process, people's lives are at stake. Their
actions usually result to injuries and deaths.
