Difference between opinion and truth
What is opinion? - is a belief, impression or
judgment about something by not necessarily
based on fact.
- it prevails personal view of a person
What is truth?
- it is something that has been proven by facts or sincerity.
-in science, truth is based on facts-as something that is
observable
- in philosophy ,truth is considered as a kind of quality
and value.
How would you know if they are telling
the truth? Have you experienced the
same?
Why truth is important?
Truth is important to clarify knowledge, since it is
through knowing that we are able to determine what is
true, while talking about Knowledge, it is the clear
awareness and understanding of anything that surrounds
you. It is a product of questions that allow for clear
answers provided by facts. Our knowledge is comprised
of ideas and beliefs that we know to be true.
Take for instance, “No bird have no wings”. This
statement simply means that we know what is an
observable or evident in a real world- that is based on
reality so this is proposition and this statement is
considered as facts. Fact is a statement which are
observable to be real or truthful. We all know and see
that all the birds have wings.

 Ways on Determining Truth
1.A belief is true if it can be justified or proven through the use of one’s senses.
Let’s have a sample statements:
A.Ana is the only beautiful classmate that I have.
Prove that Ana is beautiful by writing it in one sentence below.
__________________________________________________________
B. I am a Filipino. How will you prove that you are a Filipino? Answer that in just
one sentence.
__________________________________________________________
Are you now convinced that you call yourself a Filipino Citizen? If not, you can
use other mean
2. A belief or statement is true if it is based on facts.
This is another bases of determining truth. If you think that there
are still doubt in your mind, you can do an investigation to some
other experts or research to fully seek the truth. You can try the
following:
1. Look for your birth certificate. This is an official document to
prove that you are really a Filipino Citizen. 2. Ask your biological
parents and other relatives. This is to prove that they are the
witnesses that you are really a Filipino Citizen
3. Getting a consensus or having people agree on a common
belief.
This is getting everyone to agree on something with nobody
opposing or against on that statement. Based on the previous
example, by looking at your birth certificate, since it is an official
documents that is issued by the institution of the government it
shows factual information, the entries it bears are truthful. And if
your biological parents and relatives agreeing that you are truly a
Filipino Citizen, this is way in determining what is true.
4. Statements can also be true through actions
For instance, your best-friend tells you that he/she knows how to
cook a menudo. Do you believe his/her statement instantly? Or
might you ask him/her to perform the cooking. Then let you taste
the menudo if the taste is delicious or not. If the taste of the
menudo is delicious, then that would be the time that you believe
him/her that he/she really knows how to cook menudo.
Distinguishing Truth from Opinion

Conclusion is a statement based on a certain fact. Beliefs are
statements that express convictions that are not easily and
clearly explained by facts. For example, if your mother
states that “God created everything that is present in this
entire world”, proving that this statement is considered as
truth, you need other person’s views and experiences.
Explanations are statements claiming to be true and provides
reasons to make the statements true
