of origin
2Cebu
is a province in the Central Visayas of the Philippines. Its capital, Cebu City, is referred
to as the Queen City of the South owing to its location in the southern part of the Philippines
and its robust economy. However, the title “Queen City of the South” was originally bestowed
upon Iloilo. Queen Regent Maria Cristina of Spain named Iloilo “Muy Noble Ciudad” (Very Noble
City) because it was loyal to Spain and had the second largest economy next to Manila. People
fondly called it “The Queen’s Favored City in the South,” and, eventually, it became known as
“The Queen City of the South.”
Overtime, Cebu surpassed Iloilo’s economy and became the second largest economy outside of
Manila. Since Cebu is also located in the south, it was given the name “The Queen City of the
South” and has been known by this name ever since. At present, Cebu is a center for trade,
internet technology and business process outsourcing, shipping, and furniture-making.
Cebu is known throughout the country not only for its economy but for its history as well. 3Cebu
is the oldest city in the Philippines and is considered the cradle of Christianity. 4In fact,
Magellan’s cross is one of the most visited tourist spots in Cebu. Cebu also has many churches
and watch towers which date back to the Spanish period. Most notable, too, is Cebu’s Sinulog
which is a festival in honor of Senor Santo Nino de Cebu (infant child Jesus).
When it comes to tourism, Cebu remains to be among the top tourist destinations. With its
mountains, beaches, falls, and historical spots, there’s something for everyone at Cebu, the
Queen City of the South.

Footnotes
1 In the pre-colonial period, Cebu was divided into barangays which were each ruled by
a datu (chieftain).
2 The province of Cebu consists of the main island and 167 other islands and islets.
3 The Spanish explorer, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, named Cebu as the first Philippine city
under Spain on April 1565.
4 Magellan’s cross is an octagon-shaped kiosk that houses the cross erected by
Ferdinand Magellan in the 1520’s. It is believed that inside this cross is a relic of the
original cross that Magellan ordered to be made during the baptism of Cebu’s Rajah
Humabon and family. Humabon’s clan became the first Christians, thus, Cebu is
referred to as the cradle of Christianity in the country.
C. Developing and
Deepening
Understanding
1. Explicitation (20 minutes)
The teacher will ask learners to provide one or two adjectives to describe Cebu. In
describing Cebu, learners should also be able to explain why they chose those
adjectives. After this quick sharing activity, the teacher will now introduce the
lesson on the degrees of comparison in adjectives.

When comparing two (2) adjectives, the suffix -er is added to regular
adjectives to form the comparative degree and -est to form the superlative
degree. Some adjectives change their spelling when forming their
comparative and superlative degrees.
Positive degree
Comparative degree Superlative degree
(only 1 adjective)

respectively.
Positive degree
Comparative degree
Superlative degree
happy
happier
happiest
lonely

rule that applies in each

Day 3
3. Lesson activity (40-50 minutes)
Based on previous lessons, learners will be asked to write an informational text
about their place – either the place where they are residing at, the place they
consider as their hometown, or any place that are close to their heart. The learners
may do a prior research should they need to present specific information, such as
history, culture, and others.
However, the teacher should remind the learners to make the informational text as
personal as possible to avoid simple copy-pasting of texts found from another
source. Applying the lesson on the degree of comparison should also be observed,
while doing illustrations are also encouraged.
While writing, the learners may seek assistance from the teacher when necessary.
After the writing activity, a few learners may be called to present their writing
outputs in front of the class.
Day 4
1. Learners’ Takeaways (10 minutes)
