JAILED FOR STEALING $0.40 LUNCH

“Mang Juan”, a 61-year-old Filipino, was

charged for stealing the lunch of a 14-
year-old student on June 15, 2016. The
rather simple meal, called "bentelog" —
fried rice with egg — was worth Php20
($0.40). The charge sheet filed by the
prosecutor states that Mang Juan stole
the food “wilfully, unlawfully and
feloniously”. A judge sentenced him to
10 days in jail, but due to
miscommunication, Mang Juan ended up
staying in jail for more than three
years, or about 1,100 days.

(The teacher will group the students by

pair.)
Directions: Analyze and discuss the news
article with your partner. Write a one-
paragraph essay, consisting of minimum
of 5 sentences, in expressing your
thoughts or opinions on the news
article. Be guided by the questions
below:

1. What is the issue in the article?

2. Does the man deserve to be punished?
3. Does the man deserve to be in jail
for more than three years?
4. What was your take on the news
article? Do you agree or disagree?
State your reason.

“Note that you have to use the words and

phrases in our discussion. If
contradicting ideas with your
state both of your perspective
on the essay."
 Generalization
you have
partner, (Students’ answer may vary)
or stance Possible answer:
“I think that my opinion matters.
However, it does not have the need to
be heard at all times.”

Do you think that your opinions matter?

Does it need to be heard all the time?

“Thank you for your answers. Almost

every conversation you’ll be having will
make you agree or disagree. So, it is
important that you know how to express
your stand without making people feel
disrespected but instead feel free to
talk openly about their own opinion.”

Tips to Healthy Discourse

 Do not interrupt when others are

speaking. Learn to listen.
“You have to listen first and ask
questions once they have finished. Do
not interrupt until your turn to speak.”

 Always speak calmly and politely to

others.
“Watch your tone and do not raise your
voice. You may do breathing exercises to
remain calm.”

 Choose respectful and appropriate

words.
“Select words that are not hurtful and
offensive."
  Be open-minded and reasonable.
“Accept or consider others’ opinions and
belief. Be logical, uphold your moral
integrity, and don’t hesitate to fight
for what is right.”

“To agree without understanding is

inane.
To disagree without understanding is
impudent.”
– Mortimer J. Adler
