ASSERTION.
AN EMPLOYER RECEIVED A CURRICULUM VITAE OF AN APPLICANT WHO
WAS A FRESH COLLEGE GRADUATE. THE COMPANY WAS LOOKING FOR
SOMEONE WHO HAD A COLLEGE DEGREE, WORK EXPERIENCE, AND
SKILLS. AS THE EMPLOYER EVALUATED THE APPLICANT'S CREDENTIALS,
IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT HE LACKS WORK EXPERIENCE. THE
CREDENTIALS WERE IMPRESSIVE – A STUDENT LEADER, AN HONOR
STUDENT, A VOLUNTEER IN THE COMMUNITY. HE WANTED TO HIRE THE
APPLICANT, BUT SOMETHING WAS MISSING, WORK EXPERIENCE. HENCE.
HE WROTE AN EVALUATION AND SUBMITTED IT TO HIS SUPERIOR FOR
CONSIDERATION

 BASIC ASSERTION
THE PHILIPPINES HAS AN ADVANCED CIVILIZATION BEFORE THE
COLONIZATION OF SPAIN. FORM AND BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT,
SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND THE EXISTENCE OF ANCIENT WRITING ARE
SOME OF THE EVIDENCE THAT PROVES THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE
PRECOLONIAL PERIOD.
EMPHATIC ASSERTION
I KNOW THAT THE PHILIPPINES, BEFORE PRE-SPANIARD COLONIZATION,
HAS THEIR SYSTEM OF WRITING CALLED THE ‘BAYBAYIN’. THIS ALONE
PROVES THAT THE FILIPINOS ARE LITERATE AS OPPOSED TO THE
SPANIARDS’ CLAIM.
I-LANGUAGE ASSERTION
UPON READING THAT THE ANCIENT FILIPINO CIVILIZATION IS DIVIDED
INTO THREE SOCIAL CLASSES NAMELY THE ‘MAHARLIKA’, ‘TIMAWA’
AND ‘ALIPIN’, I FEEL PROUD BECAUSE OF THE CIVILIZATION SOCIAL
ADVANCEMENT AND AT THE SAME TIME SAD BECAUSE OF THE
PROMULGATION OF SOCIAL DIFFERENTIATION. WITH THIS FINDING, I
WANT TO DO FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE EXISTENCE OF THESE
SOCIAL CLASSES’ STIGMA.
