Activity 2 Instruction: Answer the questions below based from the

activity number 1. Explain your answer in not less than 3
sentences. (15points/5points each)

1. What sets apart the people whom you are close to from the casual
acquaintances in your life?

The experiences that we shared to all of them. In our everyday we met and
encounter a lot of people but we cannot tell and share to everyone all of our
thoughts, feelings and more. We only share it to the person whom we really
trust. And there are times that even in our family we cannot open up our
feelings but we can do to tell someone. Wither close friends or casual
acquaintance, we cannot imagine our life without them. The depth essence of
the conversations, mutual interactions and personal occasions… shared
goodness and badness moments of empathy and kindness memories and
unexpected memorable occasions.

2. Who are the people that you consider the easiest to relate to? Whom do you
find difficult to get along with?

The people that I consider as the easiest related to are my family and close
friends. My family is the people that I consider as the easiest related to me
because I grew up with them. The things that we know to each other make us
easier to connect to each other. And also with my close friend since junior high
we have a lot of things that we know both sides that is why I consider it also
that they are one of the easiest to relate to my life. And the person that I find
difficult to get along with is my cousin in my mother side because even when we
grew at the same house and know about each other there are some things that
we cannot connect to each other.

3. What does a meaningful relationship with others mean to you?

Meaningful relationship are those that are deemed significant and include
mutual respect to each other, trust, interest, positive regard and making the
other person make feel value and worth it. The key to make a meaningful
relationship to other is making these relationship grow involves building

2
elements of honesty and respect to each other and also communication to help
create that lasting foundation. And also with a person who help us grow,
support us in everything and encourage us to be a better person and always
there for us when we need them or not. And also meaningful relationship can
help us to find ourselves more we can appreciate everyone’s presence.

Activity 3 Instruction: Read and analyze the following topics.

Intersubjectivity

We usually hear the saying, “No man is an island.” There is no doubt that
an average person understands this quotation but despite the universal
understanding we have about it, we still express in various ways our belief
on “being with others.”
Intersubjectivity is a term originally
coined by the philosopher Edmund
Husserl (1859-1938, is most simply
stated as the interchange of
thoughts and feelings both
conscious and unconscious,
between two persons or “subjects”,
as facilitated by Empathy.
Humans have the natural and
universal tendency to relate to
establish attachments, and to seek close relationships with other people.
Intersubjectivity is the philosophical concept of mutual recognition of each
other as persons. It carries the meaning of “a unique relationship between
distinct subjects.” Our human nature drives us to reach out to other people
and interact with them in meaningful ways. Intersubjectivity refers to the
shared awareness and understanding among persons. It is made possible by
the awareness of the self (sarili) and the other (kapwa). The relationship
between the self and the other enables the person to relate to others and
establish and maintain meaningful relationship and interactions
(pakikipagkapwa tao) or in Maguindanaon term we call it “kapagawida”.

Characteristics of Genuine Human Interaction

1. Dialogue- is talking, listening and discussing with one another in the

spirit of respect and mutual understanding. It is a deep and genuine
relationships between persons. Dialogue happens when two persons
truly acknowledge each other’s presence and treat each other as equal
despite differences in other aspects.

2. Empathy-is an important of intersubjectivity and is driven by person’s

awareness of the emotions and thoughts of other people. It enables

3
 the person to place himself or herself in the shoes of others. It makes
us experience other person’s emotions such as anger, happiness and
sadness. In a manner of speaking, sympathy is “feeling with” and
empathy is “feeling in”. For instance, how would you behave if around
a friend who just informed you that his or her parent has died? With
empathy, you share your friend’s grief and comfort him or her during
this difficult time.

3. Availability-refers to the willingness of a person to be present for

another and readily available to render assistance or help.

Activity 4. Instructions: Give your response to the statement below

in not less than 10 sentences. (20points)

Have you ever engaged in a genuine and meaningful interaction with

another person? Write a reflection paper describing this encounter and how
it affected you.

A genuine and meaningful interaction I had is when I met this girl Angel
my best friend when I was one of the volunteer way back 2020 to help the
senior’s at the South Manuangan Cotabato City.

One of the best and meaningful for me is when I met this girl named
Angel and become my best friend. I met this girl when I was one of the
volunteer and she is one of the volunteer at that day to help the seniors at
the Manuangan Barangay Hall and give them a service that they need. I was
helping that day when I noticed this girl had difficulty to handle a senior I
noticed her struggle at that day so I offered myself to help her on handling a
senior. She was very grateful for helping her to handle the senior and to give
services to all the seniors. After that they we talked about her experience of
being a one of the volunteer to help a seniors. Angel and I ended up talking
for about an hour, we talk about everything that we liked and dis likes. After
talking about the things that we liked and dis likes we shared some stories
about ourselves like what we wanted when we grow up. We have a lot of
commons in life we have a lot of things that similar to each other.

On that day we become more closed to each other and become a best
friend we bond together we shared same things, we make a couple bracelet
we have a lot of memories together. It was very genuine and meaningful
experience for me and it was clear that we had both made a connection. And

4
 when I need to go back at Cotabato City for my study we add each other in
face book so we contact each other.

Reflecting on this encounter, I realized how much I valued being able to

connect with someone on a deeper level. It made me realized how important
to be kind and understanding towards others, especially when they can’t
handle some things. I also realized that how important to step out of your
comfort zone and to reach out to people and ask for help when you can’t
handle the situation. Angel and I am still best friend, Angel was a good
friend and I am grateful to have her as my best friend and number one
supporter in everything and my comfort zone.
