used at the start of the lesson and fill out the table below.

“Mga kaso ng COVID-19 posibleng umabot na sa 1-Milyon bago matapos

Selection Criteria Questions to ponder

Reliability Based on the OCTA research group, our number of
COVID-19 cases is expected to reach 1 million this
April 30, and as of now (April 28, 2021), we already
have 1,1,020,495020,495 COVID-19 case. These
news details are true, which is verified by the
researchers and it shown on the data.
Accuracy The news about COVID-19 cases is measurable which
is taken down by our DOH (Department of Health) and
it was written based on facts that is unbiased. But still,
at this time, we can never be sure what is true because
it might be manipulated or something.
Value I think everyone will find this article valuable because
we have to be updated and informed concerning
COVID-19. It is about one year and a couple of months
now since we have our first case, and we should worry
about how our responses to this pandemic being
effective or not.
Authority The article came from ABS-CBN news. Based on the
OCTA research group, and DOH confirmed the news
regarding COVID-19 cases. OCTA is polling, research,
and consultation firm while DOH stands for
Department of Health, which these two are completely
related to the article.
Timeliness The article was written on April 20, 2021 and I think it’s
not possible that these article will change in time
because it is based on the state of patients that is
being listed by DOH.
