Situational B. Group of students who will compete in the games (athletes). Test yourself I choose letter B for the group of students who will compete in the games (athletes) because I was also an athlete in my junior high school life who represent our school and city in the R1AA Meet. I didn’t hesitate to choose the letter B because I was a student-athlete who plays volleyball. TEST YOURSELF: Before we proceed with the lesson, it is time again to reflect and share your thoughts. My philosophy in life is that you only live once. Live life to its fullest. Every person should enjoy every moment of their lives by appreciating everything to follow their dreams and to live their lives to the fullest. The most important step to living life to the fullest is enjoying every moment. Nobody knows when their last day on Earth might be, or the ones they love, so enjoying life while it lasts is the best way to live. My belief system is treating others the way I want to be treated. In life people always want to be treated with respect, but many times they are not very respectful to others. Should that person be respected if he or she does not show respect to people? No, not, you should be treated exactly the way you treat other people. I am a strong believer in treating people the way that I would like to be treated. To receive respect from someone, you must give respect to them. My principle in life is that making mistakes is one of the important parts of our life. After committing those mistakes, we are learning from them. Mistakes are the best lessons of our life. My core values are Respect, Integrity, Responsibility, Sportsmanship, Servant Leadership, Personal courage, and loyalty. Test Yourself: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

I should ask questions to understand things that I don’t know. Asking questions keeps you in learning mode rather than judgment mode. Asking questions helps me uncover the challenges that I’m facing and generate solutions to solve those problems. What motivates you to ask questions? Many things motivate me to ask questions like; curiosity, learning new things, acquiring new skills, and overcoming challenges. Based on what you from the lesson, practice asking philosophical questions by formulating and writing questions. - What makes me tired? - What stresses me out? - What is the most important thing in my life? 3 Questions about the COVID-19 pandemic: - When will the COVID-19 pandemic end? - How was life if COVID-19 didn’t spread all over the world? - How will COVID-19 end? 3 Questions about God: - Why does God allow us to suffer? - Why does God allow evil? - Does God speak to us every day? Test Yourself 1. I feel amazed every time I wonder about a certain thing or concept. Every time I wonder about something it is something that I don’t have and couldn’t have and the only way to acquire this thing is to imagine that you have that something you always wonder to have, for example: having a luxurious car. 2. In my own experienced during the quarantine period, I’ve learned a lot, and this lesson was added more to my desire to explore the world around me. The important lesson I learned is that no matter what happens to you and your surroundings your family will always be your comfort zone. During quarantine, I also learned that if your family was together all day long, it was fun and lots of things get easier because your family is with you to help you. 3. I will apply this knowledge by accepting whatever problems happen to our lives and conquering them alone, together with your family, and with your loved ones. Accessing Prior Knowledge The image indicates the value of philosophy in our life. Everyone has freedom. We have a choice as to where our lives would be. Also, appreciating what we have in our life. Question: How do we engage in Philosophy to understand its value? Engaging in philosophy is contemplation a reflective activity where you renounce who you are, your beliefs, and your principles in life. Holding on to your beliefs is closing yourself to the possibility of other perspectives. Test Yourself 1. Imagine yourself in that picture or area, listening simply to the sound of waves, smelling fresh air from the sea, reflecting as you see the colorful skies reflected in the ocean water. That photograph would be priceless. 2. To learn, it is necessary to ask questions. We ask questions to learn more about something, and we answer questions to provide additional knowledge. Using questions to challenge our thinking is a great approach to do so. By asking questions, you can generate deeper conversations and uncover hidden truths. Paste Your pictures here: I think the image that gives me a clearer idea about things is when I took the picture on top view because as you can see it views more views and details about the picture. The top view picture has more elements such as color, angle and detail. Test Yourself 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. False True True True True II. Essay This pandemic that we are experiencing has led to a dramatic loss of Filipino people’s lives and caused many problems in terms of physical, emotional, economic, social, and political. During the past quarantine months/years, a lot of problems were faced by our government and to us Filipino people. One of these problems was lots of Filipino people lost their jobs during this pandemic, causing their families to starve and wait for the government’s “Ayuda”. Also, a shortage of food supplies was experienced during this pandemic. Some people even experienced anxiety and depression during this pandemic because they are afraid of these Covid-19, if they experienced some of the symptoms of Covid they start to panic and they don’t know what to do. Some people experienced depression because they cannot go outside and they feel like they were locked in their homes. Through this pandemic malls and almost all of the businesses were forced to shut down according to the command of the government, causing our economy to collapse. Given the guidelines of WHO we cannot go outside for several months to avoid getting infected and stop the spread of Covid-19. Even now, we can’t get close to other people when we go outside to obey the guidelines of WHO to at least distance ourselves 1 meter from other people. We can simply tell that this pandemic change our everyday life.
