“Paraiso.” But before digging deeper into our
topic, let us read first our objectives. (The students read the objectives)

D. Discussion
How would you describe a place called
“Paraiso?” (Answers may vary)
Paraiso comes from the Spanish root that
means “heaven.” It was composed by Ryan
Cayabyab and was first premiered by
Smokey Mountain. As we are about to listen
to the song, let us keep in mind the following
questions:
1. What is the song all about?
2. What does this tell about the condition of
Mother Nature?
3. Why is the song entitled “Paraiso?”
4. What is the message of the song?

At this moment, we will be listening the song.

I will play a lyric video for you to understand it
well. I want you to feel the lyrics of the song
as you listen to it.

speaker.)

Let us now answer the guide questions. What It is about someone who live in a place called
is the song all about? “Paraiso” wherein he tried to describe his life
that is full of hope and joy despite of poverty.

That’s right. The life that was being described

in the song refers to the life of the singers
who were the Smokey Mountain. The
Smokey Mountain had lived in a garbage
dumpsite in Manila.

What does this tell about the condition of It describes how dirty and polluted the world
Mother Nature? is.

Correct. Why is the song entitled “Paraiso?” (Answers may vary)

Very good. What is the message of the song? The message of the song is to change our
bad habits, help clean our environment and
not to lose hope when we encounter difficult
situations.
Excellent.

G. Generalization
What is the theme of the song? The theme of the song is hope.
Why did you say so? It is hope because even though their life there
is very poor, they can still find joy in small
things that could help them strive to keep on
living.

Why do you think Ryan Cayabyab composed
this kind of song?
He composed this kind of song maybe
because he wanted us to be awakened to the
fact that humanity is destroying the Mother
Earth and many people become more
unfortunate to have this kind of condition of
our environment.
 So what is the message that is being
reflected in the song?
The message of the song is that we must not
lose hope despite of the struggles we have in
life. We must also appreciate even the small
things we have in life and lastly, we must
learn to take care of our Mother Earth.

Yes, ma’am.

Brilliant! Do you agree to the message of the

song? The tree doesn’t have leaves ma’am.

tree?
