B. SACRED MUSIC and SECULAR MUSIC

SACRED MUSIC
During the time when the Spaniards came to the Philippines, they were able to influence
not only our cultural practices but also our beliefs and religion. That is why, we have sacred
music.
Sacred Music is performed or composed for religious gatherings and fellowship.
Liturgical music originated as part of religious rite and includes traditions in both
ancient and modern. It is also known as part of Roman Catholic Mass.
Devotional music accompanies religious observances and rituals.
What are the kinds of sacred music?

1. MASS- It is a sacrament of the Eucharist mostly celebrated by the Roman Catholic
Church. The word “mass’ came from the Latin word missa used in the concluding rite of
the mass in Latin. Songs in the mass can be played and sung in fast or slow tempo.
Examples:
Latin English Filipino
Kyrie Eleison Lord Have Mercy Panginoon Maawa Ka
Gloria Glory to God Papuri sa Diyos
Sanctus Holy Santo

Credo Creed Sumasampalataya
2. PASTORES- It is a Christmas season folk dance and song. It reenacts how the shepereds
visited the Child Jesus In the manger.
3. SENAKULO- It is a religious play presented during the Lenten season. It portrays
happenings from the Old and New Testament of Jesus Christ life, suffering, and death.
4. PASYON- is a Philippine epic that narrates about the passion, death, and ressurection of
Jesus Christ.
5. SALUBONG- It is celebrated during pre-dawn of Easter Sunday. It is a scene that shows
the Risen Christ meeting with Mother Mary.
6. FLORES DE MAYO- It is a Spanish term for “Flowers of May”. It is one of the many
influences of the Spaniards in the Philippine culture and tradition.
7. SANTACRUZAN- It is a religious celebration throughout the Philippines. It is the
highlight during the celebration of the Flores de Mayo during the month of May.
Characteristics of Sacred Music:

1. The song could be even and smooth, and not be overly rhythmic or driving. Sustained
notes could be be more effective than short notes.
2. It would not have distracting harmonic movement.
3. Sacred music is more often vocal than not.
4. Sacred music could be repetitious, as a way focusing the mind
SECULAR MUSIC
Secular music is a nonreligious music. The word “secular” means “being separate from
religion”. Words are important part of secular music and it is added for most and many common
people to sing songs together for entertainment.

Example of secular music:

1. HARANA- It is a traditional Filipino serenade by man to a woman outside the woman’s
house to show one’s love to a woman. The harana is usually accompanied by a guitar.
O, Ilaw is an example of Filipino harana song.
Watch video: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98HBr8HkIDA)
2. KUMINTANG- It is a war song. It is the name given to several styles, techniques, and
forms in music and dance that originates in areas used by the early Spanish cartographers
to indicate a large province centering around, known as Batangas. It is a dance-song
performed by pairs of men and women, with text concerning love and courtships.
3. KUNDIMAN- It came from the word “Kung Hindi Man”. It is an art song that speaks
about love of a man for a woman and can be a nationalistic passion. The melody is
characterized by a smooth, flowing and gentle rhythm with dramatic intervals.
Examples of Kundiman: ‘Nasaan Ka Irog’, “Mutya ng Pasig”, “Bituing Marikit” and

Topic 1
Folk Arts of Ilocos Region & Cordillera Autonomous Region
Art is part of the indigenous people of the Philippines. This is shown with the things that
they use every day which are rich in traditional colors and patterns. These art forms reflect their
tribal background.
The way of life in the lowlands and highland parts of Luzon is art itself. From their
colorful traditional costumes to the things they use in their everyday living are products of their
art forms which are reflective of their tribal orientation.
ILOCOS REGION
The Ilocos region is composed of four

provinces namely: Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La
Union and Pangasinan. Ilocanos are known to be
thrifty and persevering people who engage in
weaving, pottery-making, woodcarving,
furniture-making and blacksmithing. The
Ilocanos are among of the largest ethno-linguistic
groups in the country. The Ilocanos are highly
influenced by Christianity. It is evident with
several old Spanish churches found across the
region and the old houses build during the https://www.thepoortraveler.net/2010/08/the-magnificent-paoay-church-ilocos-road-trip-day-1/
ccolonial times. The Paoay Church and the old
houses of Vigan are reminders of the distant past
to lure visitors from local and international
tourists.

This special fabric is made from cotton which
undergoes the painstaking Binatbatan or beating
of the cotton balls using bamboo sticks to
separate the seeds during the initial stage.
Products from this fabric include blankets,
bags, camisa-chino, bed linens and more. This
weaving tradition is called panagabel-the oldest
https://blauearth.com/2010/08/01/inabel-heart-and-soul-of-an-ilocana-weaver/
Ilocano tradition that they have inherited from
their ancestors.
Likewise the Burnay industry (pottery making industry) in Vigan is also a popular
cottage industry. They believe that the natives already practiced pottery making even before the
Spanish colonizers arrived in the Philippines. The early Chinese settlers introduced the Burnay
which served as an all-weather container of local products.

evidenced in their wood carving called Bulul, a rice God figure.

to bind together. Their motif is characterized by diamond stripes of white and red stripes. The
dominant color is blue. Compared to Kalinga cloth, Ifugao loincloth is less colorful and darker in
color as opposed to bright colors and bead-accented clothes in Kalinga. Weaving in Ifugao is an
exclusive task for women.
The Ifugaos are also great basket weavers. They have different types of baskets
depending on their use and in their sizes. They are also known for amulets that are made of

Fitness Components and Testing
Introduction
Physical fitness is a general state of health and well-being or specifically the ability to
perform regular exercises, sports, and /or occupation. Physical fitness can be achieved through a
combination of daily physical activities like exercise and a well-balanced diet.
Students have to find the set of activities that matches their own strength and capacity.
Simple weight-bearing exercises can be considered a good example of these activities. These
physical activities help the individual grow and develop when given time and schedule.
Improving in all components of fitness tests will also help the students determine their
strength and endurance in daily activities and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
In this module, the students shall learn the benefits of understanding the meaning and
importance of FITT (frequency intensity time type) principles in all the activity plan they get
involved in.

 Define Physical fitness.
 Discuss the different components of physical fitness.
 Undertake physical activity and physical fitness assessments.

Topic 1
Strengthening Bones and Muscles for Endurance
Fitness is the ability to live a happy, healthy and productive life. In order to achieve
fitness, daily exercise is necessary. Exercises contribute in strengthening bones and muscles.
They also develop good coordination, endurance, and strength. These skills can be practiced and
enhanced through any physical activity appropriate to the needs of each individual.
Physical Fitness is the ability of an individual to perform his/her daily activities
efficiently without undue fatigue,” which is closely the same with Dick’s (1989) concept about
fitness (Wesson et al. (2000)).
PHYSICAL FITNESS COMPONENTS are divided into two:

A. Health – related skills – include aspects of physiological function that offer protection
against diseases, resulting from active lifestyle and that which can be improved through
proper physical activities.
B. Skill – related fitness – is closely related to athletic ability. Its components are useful in
performing motor tasks related to sports and athletics.

TOPIC 2
FITT Principles of Exercise
FITT (Frequency Intensity Time Type) is an exercise program where an individual is free
to plan his fitness design according to his or her own needs. Regardless of age, a FITT program
can always provide a guide for children or adults in doing physical activities that will meet their
body’s needs by considering the frequency, intensity, time and type of their chosen activities.
F Frequency- is how often you will perform physical activity.

For example, he or she may choose to work daily or three times a week.
Intensity- is how hard you will perform physical activities.

I For example, the individual starts to do push-ups for three minutes daily, and does
it even longer like five to ten minutes or so.
Time – is how long you will perform physical activities.

T For example, the individual does a chosen exercise for a period of time he wants
like walking for an hour.
Type- is the kind of physical activities you will perform to develop a fitness
T component or obtain a specific benefit. For example, walking, jogging,
curl-ups, and other accessible forms of exercise.

the rapid change in form, function and behavior are we call development. (Butterworth
Publishers, 1990). Human development is a lifelong process of physical, behavioral, cognitive,
and emotional growth and change. In the early stages of life—from babyhood to childhood,
childhood to adolescence, and adolescence to adulthood—enormous changes take place.
Throughout the process, each person develops attitudes and values that guide choices,
relationships, and understanding.
Growth and development are normally experienced by every individual. Everyone grows
physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually according to his or her individual
phases. In this unit, holistic health, stages of growth and development, changes in health
dimensions during adolescence, management of health concerns during adolescence, health
appraisal procedures, and development of self-awareness and coping skills shall be discussed.

STAGES OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
A person goes through the different stages of life from being an infant to young adult,
distinct periods of development take place. These developments are determined genetically
through environmental circumstances and exchanges with key individuals who have
siignificantnfluence on the person’s growth.
Ages and Stages is a term used to broadly outline each stage during the growth and
development of every individual. In each stage, changes occur in the primary developmental
domains that include physical, intellectual, language, social, and emotional.

CHANGES IN THE HEALTH DIMENSIONS
DURING ADOLESCENCE
62 | M A P E H 7 ( 1 S T Q U A R T E R )
Puberty is the start of adolescence, which brings physical and emotional changes. This is
the time when males and females are physically able to reproduce. During this period, secondary
sex characteristics begin developing. These characteristics include body hair, development of
breasts in females, and muscles in males.
http://paridhispubertywebsite.weebly.com/fun-facts.html
Adolescence is a critical period for maturation of neurobiological processes that underlie

higher cognitive functions and social and emotional behavior. Aside from these cognitive and
emotional changes, adolescence is also characterized by marked physical changes which prepare
the body for reproduction. All of these changes make this period a complex biological and
maturational event that develops the individual as a whole.
Adolescence can also bring all sorts of problems because of biological changes
experienced by one. These changes can be too overwhelming seem like a nightmare for any
adolescent, however, one can easily cope with it by being conscious of these changes, and facing
them head-on.
What are the different types of development?
Physical changes and developments
63 | M A P E H 7 ( 1 S T Q U A R T E R )
Rapid physical changes are seen in the structure of an adolescent’s body. These changes
include: rapid gains in height and weight, development of secondary sex characteristics, and
continued brain development.
Physical Changes (Female)
During the ages of eight and 15, girls go through a
Female Body lot of physical changes. These changes include the
following:
1. Breasts develop
2. Height increases with an average of 3.5 inches
3. Weight increases due to fat development
4. Hips and waist become more defined
5. Menstruation cycle starts
6. Mood changes may occur
7. Growth of body hair in pubic area, underarms, and
more on arms and legs
8. Muscles develop and become stronger
9. Fat tissue normally increases
10. Vocal cords get thicker and longer
11. More active sweat and oil glands, and body odor
changes
12. Acnes may develop
13. Maturity in reproductive system
The process of maturity in girls is affected by

heredity, diet, health habits, and health status. Due
to these differences, girls should not compare their
http://paridhispubertywebsite.weebly.com/fun-facts.html
bodies with other girls of their age.
Did you know that….
When a female is around 8 years old her pituitary gland increases its production of hormone
called Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)? This hormone moves along the bloodstream to the ovaries
then secreting estrogen. Ovaries produce the estrogen hormone, which help develop female secondary

R)
Male Body
For boys, noticeable physical changes during

puberty occur between 12 to 15 years old. Maturity in boys
is affected by heredity, diet, health habits, and health status.
In this period, a boy should become comfortable with his
changing body. His body is his perceived notion of his body
appearance. A positive body image is more likely for boys
who are well educated about their anatomy and physiology.
An example is the growth spurt,, which occurs later in
males than it does in females. Also boys mature in different
rates. Boys should also avoid comparing their bodies to
other boys of their age.
Physical Changes (Male)
1. Height increases with an average of 4.1 inches.
2. Weight increases due to increased muscle

MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH CONCERNS
DURING ADOLESCENCE
66 | M A P E H 7 ( 1 S T Q U A R T E R )
Aside from the various changes in every health dimension experienced by adolescents,
they also begin to deal with different problems or concerns that arise during this period of growth
and development. Most of these health concerns are manageable enough, but others already
require the care of medical professionals. Thus certain measures need to be followed in order to
overcome each one accordingly.
The following are some of the health concerns commonly experienced during
adolescence:

Habits

A. Poor Eating Habits

Adolescence is a stage in which individuals start to develop more interest in school activities
and social events. They become more physically active, sociable, and competitive. Joining such
67 | M A P E H 7 ( 1 S T Q U A R T E R )
activities and events seems to be a great experience and an exciting challenge for them. Hence,
they need enough energy to be able to perform at their best.
One of the ways in order to unleash their full potential is through observing healthy lifestyle
and proper nutrition. However, most of the adolescents nowadays tend to eat just kinds of food
that they often see on TV commercials such as junk foods, soft drinks, and fast food among
others. This lead to poor eating habits.
Poor eating habits such as under- or overeating, not having enough of the healthy foods
needed for each day, and consuming too many types of food and drink in a single day may result
to poor nutrition. It may cause stress, fatigue, low performance, and can even lead to some
illnesses and other health problems like:
 Obesity or being overweight
 Heart disease and stroke
 Tooth decay
 Osteoporosis
 High blood pressure
 Diabetes
 High cholesterol
 Depression
Here are steps to help you get rid of your old, unhealthy habits and create healthier ones:
1. Take Baby Steps. Making small changes in your diet and lifestyle can improve your health as
well as trim your waistline. Some suggestions from the experts:
2. Become More Mindful. One of the first steps toward conquering bad eating habits is paying
more attention to what you’re’ eating and drinking. "Read food labels, become familiar with lists
of ingredients, and start to take notice of everything you put into your mouth," ”says Gans. Once
you become more aware of what you’re’ eating, you’ll’ start to realize how you need to improve
your diet. Some people benefit by keeping food diaries.
3. Make a Plan; Be Specific. How are you going to start eating more fruit, having breakfast
every day, or getting to the gym more often? Spell out your options. For example: Plan to take a
piece of fruit to work every day for snacks, stock up on cereal and fruit for quick breakfasts, and
go to the gym on the way to work three times a week. "To say I am going to work out more,'
won't’ help you," says Gans. "What will help is thinking about when and how you can fit it into
your lifestyle."
4. Tackle a New Mini-Goal Each Week. These mini-steps will eventually add up to major
change. For example, if your goal is to eat more vegetables, tell yourself you’ll’ try one new
veggie each week until you find some you really enjoy. Or look for easy ways to add one more
68 | M A P E H 7 ( 1 S T Q U A R T E R )
serving of vegetables to your diet each week until you reach your goal. Try topping your lunch
sandwich with slices of cucumbers; adding shredded carrots to the muffins you have for
breakfast; or topping your dinnertime pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms.
5. Be Realistic. Don't expect too much from yourself too soon. It takes about a month for any
new action to become habit. Slow and steady wins the race --–long with a dose of vigilance.
1. Practice Stress Management. "Focus on dealing with stress through exercise,
relaxation, meditation, or whatever works for you, so you don’t ‘fall back into those bad
habits during periods of stress or use food to help you cope with the situation," ”advises
Foreyt.
B. Lack of Sleep and Lack of Physical Activity

Sleep is the period in which the body gets rest and the pituitary gland releases more
hormones, such as growth hormones. It is also the time when body cells grow and repair
themselves more rapidly.
Lack of sleep during the adolescent years interferes with these processes and might interfere
also with proper growth and development.
Teenagers need nine to ten hours sleep each night to feel well and rested. So you should
refrain from staying late at night playing computer games, watching television or just staying
awake doing something. Insufficient sleep has negative effects on your growth and development.
C. Dental problems (dental caries, malocclusions, halitosis,

gingivitis, periodontal disease)
The more common dental problems of teenagers include dental caries or tooth decay,
halitosis or bad breath, and gingivitis or swelling of the gums. Both dental caries and gingivitis
can lead to halitosis. It is important to remember that all of these are brought about by not
brushing, poor tooth brushing skills and drinking carbonated drinks and eating sweets frequently.
This can lead to proliferation of dental plaque, which is made up of colonies of microorganisms.
69 | M A P E H 7 ( 1 S T Q U A R T E R )
Dental plaque hardens to “tartar” if not removed. So tooth brushing after every 29 meal
and flossing at least twice a day should take at least a minimum of three minutes to remove all
food particles lodged between the teeth.
Dental problems can also be prevented by doing the following:
a. Eating nutritious foods
b. Limiting between-meal snacks, especially sweet and sticky foods
c. Brushing and flossing to remove plaque or tartar
d. Visiting the dentist regularly, at least twice a year
D. Body Odor
Body odor is one of the most common health concerns that teenagers deal with.
When teenagers play actively or engage in sports or other physical activities, they tend to
perspire profusely. If they do not know how to manage this problem, it may cause
unpleasant body odor.
To prevent body odor, the following steps can be done:
 Practice proper hygiene.
 Take a bath or shower daily. (Soap and water will remove bacteria and excess oil on the
skin.)
 Apply deodorant or antiperspirant every day.
 Bring extra clothes and change when necessary.
E. Health Concerns Related to Mental Changes

As adolescents, you are expected to solve more complex problems than when you were
children. Your thinking skills develop and you can see and understand other people’s point of
view.
Mental health concerns in adolescents may be caused by heredity, head injury or
chemical imbalance. It may also be caused by stress from feelings of not being accepted, being
poor or “different.” Abuse, death of a loved one, or separation anxiety can also be a mental
health concern.
70 | M A P E H 7 ( 1 S T Q U A R T E R )
F. Problems related to sexual changes

Adolescent boys experience “wet dreams” or nocturnal emission. This is involuntary
ejaculation of semen during sleep. Although this is quite embarrassing, this is common among
teenage boys during puberty.
Adolescent girls experience the onset of menstruation. Girls having their menstrual
period need to be more conscious about hygiene.
G.Emotional Changes
Your emotions and feelings also go through changes during adolescence and you may
experience these problems:
Mood swings/intense emotions
You may be happy at one moment, then feel sad the next. This mood swing might be
misunderstood by friends or family. Moodiness among girls may be due to changes in their
estrogen level while among boys, it may be due to changes in their testosterone levels. These
hormones can cause emotions to be very intense and swing rapidly.
These emotional swings will settle down as you enter the next stage of your growth and
development.
