C. EXPLAIN

Teacher corrects misconceptions from the previous activity

and explains vague concepts.

“superstition”- “pamahiin”is any belief or practice that is Students participate in the class
considered irrational or supernatural: discussion and take down notesStudents may also share
- May arise from ignorance additional
- a misunderstanding of science or causality ideas to the class
- a positive belief in fate or magic, or fear of that which is
unknown

Origin:
Philippines has seen many settlers and visitors from other
places even before the advent of written history

these different peoples would also carry with them their

peculiar beliefs and custom pertaining to phenomena that
they could not explain at the time

These beliefs would then be transmitted to their

descendants via oral or written tradition

Historians generally agree that aside from the original

main settlers (the Negritos, the Indonesians, and the
Malays)

The biggest influences of Filipino superstitions would be
the Indians, the Chinese, the Spanish, and the Arabs to a
lesser extent

Traditional beliefs, practices and superstitions are part of

Filipino
culture and they have been passed on through generations.

These beliefs and practices have been with us for ages but
most of them are false and misleading

It promotes fatalism
Fatalism means leaving everything to chance or fate. When
you follow superstitious beliefs without looking for the real
reasons behind them, you are, in effect, putting your future
in the hands of some unknown force. For example, the
success of your activity on a particular day will depend on
whether you pass a black cat or see a brown butterfly and
not on your perseverance and determination to succeed.

It may prove dangerous or fatal.

Sometimes when a member of our family gets sick, instead
of taking him/ her to the doctor, we apply our own
homemade remedies based on our beliefs. We also consult
albularyos or quack doctors who perform rituals to drive
away the bad spirits that have caused the person to be sick.
Self-medication and treatment by untrained persons are
dangerous. Instead of curing the disease, their “remedies”
might worsen the condition and might even lead to death.

The individual becomes narrow-minded.

Because people choose to follow or believe in superstitions,
they no longer try to look for other explanations on why
certain things happen. They become narrow-minded and
lose their ability to look into the broader nature of things.

It hinders the development of the community.

There will be no growth and development in the community
if, instead of working hard, the people would stake their lives
on luckor chance. Since people are also narrow-minded, they
will not welcome change and any new ideas that will help
develop their community. Instead, they will be stuck in their
old ways of life and beliefs.Although superstitious beliefs are
part of our colorful tradition, we should think twice before
following them. They may seem harmless at first, but there
are many instances when following them may lead to harm
and danger.

Discussion leads to integration in different areas of learning

(history and Filipino)
 D. ELABORATE
Supposing these situations happened to you, what will you
do? Students put themselves in the given
1. A friend who is about to get married wants to find out if situations and answer the question
her wedding gown fits. Her mother told her that if she tried honestly.
it on, her wedding would not push through. Not sure what to
do, your friend comes to you for advice. What would you tell
her?
2. Your girlfriend/boyfriend gave you a beautiful
handkerchief for your birthday. When you told your mother
about it, she asked you to return the handkerchief because
you and your loved one will break up if you don’t return the
gift. What would you do?
3. One night, your cousin asks if she could borrow three cups
of rice grains because they have nothing to eat. Then your
husband/wife tells you that lending rice grains at night
would bring bad luck. What would you do?
4. While at the dining table, your daughter accidentally spills
some rice on the floor. Remembering that your mother told
you that sweeping the floor at night will bring bad luck, what
will you do?
5. A stray dog bit your son. Your grandfather knows that your
son is fearful of injections so he suggested that instead of
taking him to the doctor, you should just kill the dog so the
rabies in your son’s body would die, too. You only want
what’s best for your son,
so you would?
