A. INTRODUCTION Share Your Thoughts!
Learning Task 1

Today, we are going to have our lesson on factual information

and subjective content. Now, let’s start our lesson with a
conversation between two students. Let’s say a conversation
between your classmates. You are going to decide to which of
the characters you agree with and state your reason. For
instance, a conversation between Nena and Popoy. Let’s say
you are Nena who says that “I am into cold weather” while
Popoy says “I enjoy the summer season” so to which of these
characters do you agree more? Is it Nena who loves the cold
weather or Popoy who loves the summer season?
Now, complete or express your thought using this phrase: I
agree with ______ because…
Examples:

1. I agree with Popoy because I love going to the beach

with my family during summer.
Now, let’s go to the second dialogue or conversation.
For example.
2. I agree with Clara because I also finish my tasks
during the night when I am less distracted.

TAKE NOTE:
In various occasions, you are asked to express your views or
opinions on particular matters. When you do this, your statements
may contain factual information or subjective content defined
below:

Factual information are statements that can be verified or proven

to be true.
It can be tested by experimentation, observation, or research and
shown to be true or untrue.

Subjective content involves belief, judgment, feeling, opinion,

intuition, or emotion rather than factual information. It is
subjective or value judgement, and it cannot be proven OR
DISPROVED.
A reader should look for words that are clues OR QUALIFIERS
to statements of subjectivity like I FEEL, I THINK, I BELIEVE,
BEST. BAD, DISGUSTING, GREAT, SHOULD,
WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, PRETTY, WORST, MUST,
GOOD, MOST, TERRIBLE, STRONGEST, LOVELY ETC.
Take note that it may sometimes look like facts because of
professional or technical-sounding words.

Now, here are some examples of Factual Information and

Subjective Information.
1. F- In the early part of the last century, Pit Bulls were
known as “Nanny Dogs” (they were the breed of choice
among parents with young children)
O- Pit Bulls are the most dangerous dogs alive.
2. F- I have two cats named Tyson and Winter.
O- Tyson is more playful and charming than Winter.
3. F- Korean Dramas or KDRAMA are television series in
the Korean language, made in South Korea.
O- I think KDramas influenced Filipinos in their food
preferences, beauty standards, and interest in foreign
country.
4. F- More than one million teenagers become pregnant
every year.
O- The government should increase spending for
preventing unwanted pregnancy.
5. Ostriches do not hide their head in the sand.
The ostriches’ eggs are worst than crocodile eggs.
Learning Task 2
Look at the following statements below and identify whether they
are Factual Information or Subjective Content. Use the table
below.

2. In my opinion, the government should extend additional
assistance to Filipinos who suffered from unemployment due to
the pandemic.

unemployment rate at 10.4% - the highest in 15 years, the
government reported, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
4. Garnering 70% of the viewers’ vote, the finalist from Visayas
won the reality show.

[Radiocast from Malacañang Palace, Manila, on Rizal Day,

December 30, 1937]

My Fellow-Citizens:
It affords me an indescribable satisfaction to be able to
announce to you that on this the 41st anniversary of the
martyrdom of the founder and greatest exponent of Philippine
nationalism, I had the privilege of issuing, in pursuance of the
mandate of the Constitution and of existing law, an Executive
Order designating one of the native languages as the basis for the
national language of the Filipino people.

For over three hundred years that Spain exercised

sovereignty over the Philippines, Spanish was the official
language; nevertheless, when the United States took possession
and control of these Islands, Spanish had not become the common
language of our people. With the establishment of the American
régime, English became the official language of our country; but
despite the fact that English has been taught in all our public
 schools for more than a generation, it has not become the language
of our people. Today there is not one language that is spoken and
understood by all the Filipinos, nor even by a majority of them,
which simply proves that while the teaching of a foreign language
may be imposed upon a people, it can never replace the native
tongue as a medium of national expression among the common
masses. This is because, as Rizal asserted, the national thought
takes its roots in a common language which develops and grows
with the progress of the nation. We may borrow for a time the
language of other peoples, but we cannot truly possess a national
language except through the adoption, development and use of
one of our own.
There was a time when it seemed that it would be
impossible for the Filipinos to agree that one of the native
languages be chosen as the national language, but at last we have
all realized that if we are willing to accept a foreign language as
the official language of the Philippines, with more reason we
should accept one of our own languages as the national language
of our common country. Without giving undue importance to the
role that a common language plays in the life of a people, we may
point to the fact that in the Orient the one nation which has made
the greatest progress and which has won a high place in the family
of nations, is the only nation that has one common language—
Japan. And every other nation which has attained the highest state
of culture, solidarity and power, both on the American continent
and in Europe, and even in Africa, is a nation that possesses a
common national language.
Today, with the adoption of Tagalog as the basis for the
national language of the Philippines, we have accomplished one of
the most cherished dreams of Rizal.
In no better way could we have honored his sacred
memory on this anniversary of his immolation to the cause of our
free nationhood.
I wish you all a Happy New Year.
