I Am a Filipino
by Carlos P. Romulo
I am a Filipino - inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such I must prove equal
to a two-fold task- the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to
the future.
I sprung from a hardy race - child of many generations removed of ancient

Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of hardy: capable of
brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were enduring difficult
stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the conditions
whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope- hope in the free abundance
of new land that was to be their home and their children's forever.
This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes beckon: to attract
first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and someone or
purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river something
and lake that promise a plentiful living and the fruitfulness of commerce, is a
hollowed spot to me.
By the strength of their hearts and hands, by every right of law, human
and divine, this land and all the appurtenances thereof - the black and fertile soil, appurtenance: an
the seas and lakes and rivers teeming with fish, the forests with their inexhaustible object that is used
wealth in wild life and timber, the mountains with their bowels swollen with minerals with or for
- the whole of this rich and happy land has been, for centuries without number, the something
land of my fathers. This land I received in trust from them and in trust will pass it to
my children, and so on until the world no more.
I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes - seed that

flowered down the centuries in deeds of courage and defiance. In my veins yet foe: an enemy
pulses the same hot blood that sent Lapulapu to battle against the alien foe that oppressor: a person
drove Diego Silang and Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign oppressor. who uses power in a
cruel way
That seed is immortal. It is the self-same seed that flowered in the heart of
Jose Rizal that morning in Bagumbayan when a volley of shots put an end to all that
was mortal of him and made his spirit deathless forever; the same that flowered in racial: connected
the hearts of Bonifacio in Balintawak, of Gergorio del Pilar at Tirad Pass, of Antonio with a different race
Luna at Calumpit; that bloomed in flowers of frustration in the sad heart of Emilio vindication:
Aguinaldo at Palanan, and yet burst forth royally again in the proud heart of Manuel justification against
L. Quezon when he stood at last on the threshold of ancient Malacañang Palace, in denial
the symbolic act of possession and racial vindication.
The seed I bear within me is an immortal seed. It is the mark of my

manhood, the symbol of dignity as a human being. Like the seeds that were once Why is the seed
buried in the tomb of Tutankhamen many thousand years ago, it shall grow and referred as
“immortal”?
flower and bear fruit again. It is the insigne of my race, and my generation is but a
stage in the unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.
I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The East,
with its languor and mysticism, its passivity and endurance, was my mother, and my Who do you think
sire was the West that came thundering across the seas with the Cross and Sword are ”the East and
and the Machine. I am of the East, an eager participant in its struggles for liberation the West”?
from the imperialist yoke. But I also know that the East must awake from its
centuried sleep, shape of the lethargy that has bound his limbs, and start moving
where destiny awaits.
What does the

being apart from those whose world now trembles to the roar of bomb and cannon
shot. For no man and no nation is an island, but a part of the main, there is no
10 | P a g e
longer any East and West - only individuals and nations making those momentous choices that are hinges upon
which history resolves.
At the vanguard of progress in this part of the world I stand - a forlorn

figure in the eyes of some, but not one defeated and lost. For through the thick, vanguard: group of
interlacing branches of habit and custom above me I have seen the light of the sun, people who are the
and I know that it is good. I have seen the light of justice and equality and freedom leaders of an action
and my heart has been lifted by the vision of democracy, and I shall not rest until
my land and my people shall have been blessed by these, beyond the power of any
man or nation to subvert or destroy.
I am a Filipino, and this is my inheritance. What pledge shall I give that I

may prove worthy of my inheritance? I shall give the pledge that has come ringing How will you show
down the corridors of the centuries, and it shall be compounded of the joyous cries that you are worthy
of my Malayan forebears when they first saw the contours of this land loom before to be called a
“Filipino”?
their eyes, of the battle cries that have resounded in every field of combat from
Mactan to Tirad pass, of the voices of my people when they sing:
Land of the Morning,

Child of the sun returning...
Ne'er shall invaders
Trample thy sacred shore.
Out of the lush green of these seven thousand isles, out of the heartstrings of sixteen million people all
vibrating to one song, I shall weave the mighty fabric of my pledge. Out of the songs of the farmers at sunrise
when they go to labor in the fields; out of the sweat of the hard-bitten pioneers in Mal-ig and Koronadal; out of
the silent endurance of stevedores at the piers and the ominous grumbling of peasants Pampanga; out of the
first cries of babies newly born and the lullabies that mothers sing; out of the crashing of gears and the whine of
turbines in the factories; out of the crunch of ploughs upturning the earth; out of the limitless patience of
teachers in the classrooms and doctors in the clinics; out of the tramp of soldiers marching, I shall make the
pattern of my pledge:
"I am a Filipino born of freedom and I shall not rest until freedom shall have been added unto my inheritance -
for myself and my children's children - forever.

III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction: To effectively convey their message, Filipino writers utilize
techniques that appeal to our senses and to our thoughts. For example, they use
animals or colors to signify bravery, purity, peace, etc. On the other hand, they
also use words which stimulate our five senses. These words make us imagine that
we see, hear, smell, taste or even feel what the writers have written. These
techniques are what we called Sensory Images and Symbolism.
Activity
 Task 1: Different Views!
Directions:Determine the literal and symbolical meanings of the following
pictures.
Picture Literal Meaning Symbolical Meaning
13 | P a g e
 Task 2: Appealing!

hearing, smell, taste or touch) each statement appeals.
Statement It appeals to what sense?
1. Savoring the fresh buko juice is like
seeing a glimpse of heaven.
2. The dove flapped its wings, freeing itself
from the cage.
3. Her words are a spear pierced through
his heart that killed his dreams.
4. The flag waves mightily against the
wind.

Sensory Images and Symbolism
Symbolismis the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities by

giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal
sense.
Symbolism can take different forms. Generally, it is an object

representing another to give it an entirely different meaning that is
much deeper and more significant. Sometimes, however, an
action, an event or a word spoken by someone may have a symbolic
value. For instance, “smile” is a symbol of friendship.
Symbols do shift their meanings depending on the context they are used in. “A chain”, for
example, may stand for “union” as well as “imprisonment”. Thus, symbolic meaning of an object
or an action is understood by when, where and how it is used. It also depends on who reads
them.
Common Examples of Symbolism in Everyday Life
In our daily life, we can easily identify objects, which can be taken as examples of symbol such
as the following:
 The dove is a symbol of peace.

 A red rose or red color stands for love or romance.
 Black is a symbol that represents evil or death.
 A ladder may stand as a symbol for a connection between the heaven and the earth.
 A broken mirror may symbolize separation.
Sensory Imagesor Imagery means to use figurative

language to represent objects, actions and ideas in such a
way that it appeals to our physical senses.
Usually it is thought that imagery makes use of particular

words that create visual representation of ideas in our
minds. The word imagery is associated with mental
pictures. However, this idea is but partially correct.
Imagery, to be realistic, turns out to be more complex
than just a picture. Read the following examples of imagery
carefully:
1. It was dark and dim in the forest. – The words “dark” and “dim” are visual

III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction: Whenever you are reading a literary piece, you can‟t help but feel
a certain emotion, like happiness, downheartedness, anger, or even hope. If you
haven‟t feel or realized something after reading, then you are not successful in
learning the purpose why that poem, story or essay was written and even
existed.
Activity
 Task 1: Movie Lines!
Directions: Just like in reading good works, you can remember lines from
movies which are memorable and attack the emotions. Read first these lines
and afterwards, watch some of the movie clips and examine how the actors
say these lines and what are the emotions that they used.
Movie Line excerpt Upon reading the Upon watching

Analysis
Guide Questions:
1. By just reading the following excerpts of movie lines, what are the emotions
that you can sense from the words?
2. After watching how the actors say their lines, what have you felt from them?
3. Do you have a different answer for the two charts? Explain why or why not.
 Task 2: Sense it!

Directions: Analyze the excerpts from the selection “I am a Filipino” and
determine the tone and mood employed on the following.
1. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill
mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that
their view encompassed, every river and lake that promise a plentiful living and the fruitfulness of
commerce, is a hollowed spot to me.
2. I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes – seed that flowered down the
centuries in deeds of courage and defiance. In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that sent
LapuLapu to battle against the alien foe that drove Diego Silang and Dagohoy into rebellion against
the foreign oppressor.
3. For, I, too, am of the West, and the vigorous people of the West have destroyed forever the peace
and quiet that once were ours. I can no longer live, being apart from those whose world now
trembles to the roar of the bomb and cannon shot.
4. I shall give the pledge that has come ringing down the corridors of the centuries, and it shall be
compounded of the joyous cries of my Malayan forebears when they first saw the contours of this
land loom before their eyes.
5. I am a Filipino born of freedom and I shall not rest until freedom shall have been added unto my
inheritance for myself and my children’s children forever.

III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: We always encounter an unfamiliar word whenever we read
something. Most of us will consult our dictionary or ask somebody to tell us its
meaning. Yet, we can readily know the meaning the words by analyzing how it is
used in the sentence. This is what we called context clues.
Activity

their apparent meanings on the right.
1. Appurtenance a) An object that is used with or for something

2. Beckon b) Defense against denial and censure

4. Foe d) To attract someone or something
5. Hardy e) An enemy
6. Inheritor f) Spiritual truth gained by praying deeply
7. Mysticism g) The state of being equal
8. Oppressor h) Group of people who are leaders of action
9. Vanguard i) Able to live through difficult conditions
10. Vindication j) A person who uses power in a cruel way
Analysis
Guide Questions:
1. Did you have a hard time matching the words with their correct
meanings? Why?
2. If you encounter an unfamiliar word in a statement and there is no
dictionary around, how do you eventually know its meaning?
3. Is there a way that one can know the meaning of a word without looking
at the dictionary?
 Task 2: Use It!

Directions: This time, let us use the words above in a sentence. By analyzing
how the words are used, determine their dictionary meaning afterwards.
1. Tayabenses are hardy citizens for they already endured different calamities, wars, and problems
and still remained strong.
2. Using colorful store designs, the budin store owner beckons every tourist that he sees to come to
his store and buy some pasalubongs.

decent salary.
9. We, Paladians, should become vanguards of change to this school.
10. The vindication of truth should always be our rule whenever we see a Tayabas public official
committing corruption.
Abstraction

sees an unfamiliar word in a sentence. Provide example sentences for the
following types by using the word PLEDGE only.
Definition____________________________________________________________
Example ____________________________________________________________
Synonym____________________________________________________________
Antonym____________________________________________________________
Comparison and
Contrast_____________________________________________________________
Application
 Task 5: Write Then Act!
Directions: Create a script for a short play of about 5-10 minutes about the
situation indicated below:
A Filipino-American tourist will tour the City of Tayabas for

three days, and he will stay in the house of his friend. Hospitable
and accommodating, his Tayabense friend, together with his
family, hosted a dinner serving all the local delicacies of
Tayabas.

Rizal’s Stinginess (An Excerpt) Essay
____________________________________________________________________________________
AmbethOcampo Rizal without the Overcoat
(1) There are two incidents in Rizal’s life

regarding money from which I have never recovered: one
was his being kuripot, the other was the pride and
seriousness with which he took his stinginess.
(2) Rizal was once invited to a New Year’s party
or something. Of course it was potluck affair, and to make
a long story short, Rizal was supposed to bring the
champagne. Well, aside from his sermons about taking
your studies seriously and his unsolicited advice on
drinking, gambling, womanizing – three things the
Filipinos were famous for – Rizal did not like the idea of
supplying the drinks for this party. So he stood up and in
typical killjoy fashion told everyone that he was not paying
for the drinks, inabonohanlangniya; so before he leaves,
will everyone please pay their share? Everyone was
stunned and they probably thought he was joking, but
then he passed his hat around; then they knew he was serious. Much later Rizal would wonder why he was
not popular with the Filipino community and could not get elected unanimously to their occasion.
(3) The second incident was the time when his allowance was delayed. He didn’t want to let his
German landlady know he was missing his meals, so he would leave his apartment during lunch and dinner
time and walk around the city, peeking and salivating while watching people in restaurants and bars. When
he had walked for an hour or two, he would return to his apartment to give the impression to his landlady
that he had gone out to eat.
(4) Today I want to show you Rizal’s expenses for January 1884, when he was a student in Madrid.
His diaries and notebooks are filled with expense accounts, which gives us a glimpse into the character of
our national hero. You will have to browse through all these lists to discern his lifestyle, but because of
space limitations, his one month’s expenditures should be enough to give you an idea.
Jan 4For the barbershop and the cursed Christmas present 1.10
[Even in Spain during the nineteenth century they had people greeting you with ―Merry Christmas,
Sir!‖ and open palms. Rizal, like all of us today, was not spared.]
Jan 5Los CuatroReynos de la Naturalezasubscription 14.20
Jan 6 Wandering Jew 10.00
Works of Horace ad Dumas 2.50 [Rizal spent a great deal on books.]
Supper with friend 32.00
Jan 9Without spending a cent. [Hooray!]
Jan 12 Bath 2.00 [Rizal’s room was probably without a toilet and bath. It’s cheaper. So he will have
to pay for each bath he takes or he pays a monthly fee. I do hope he took a daily shower. In Spain,
Filipinos are sometimes scolded for bathing daily. They say it is an unhealthy practice.]
Teatro de la Comedia2.10
A dish. 30
A newspaper and refreshment .35
Jan 15 One penknife .30
Jan 16 Postage stamps 1.30
Penknife 1.50
Ball of yarn .50
Jan 20 One-tenth of a lottery ticket 3.00 [Every week Rizal bought what we know today as
―Sweepstakes‖. He never won in Spain, but when he was in exile in Dapitan, he won enough to buy
himself an 18-hectare (?) estate called Talisay.]
Laundry woman 3.00 [I thought he washed his own clothes, hindipala.]
Domestic postage stamp .10
Jan 27 Today I had my picture taken at Otero 10.00 [Rizal loved having his picture taken which is
why we have a full documentation of him.]
Half-dozen postcards with cover 3.90
One-tenth of lottery ticket 3.00
A box of matches .10
Jan 29 Candles (one pound, 6) 1.25 [Before he used an alcohol burner, he used candles in his
42 | P a g e
room, which, means his apartment must have really been cheap with no gaslight.]
Tickets for the dance 1.00 [In his diary he mentions regularly attending theater and balls
and writes, ―Today I was at the masquerade ball which I enjoyed fairly well. I dance almost all the
numbers. Two masked persons were teasing me, yet no matter how hard I tried to find out who
they were I couldn’t.‖ Can you imagine Rizal dancing?]
Coffee, refreshments and tip (Night watchman) 1.70
Jan 30For review for the degree 30.00
Postage stamps for letters and periodicals 2.80
A handkerchief .45
Streetcar .30
Excelsior Ball 2.50
Jan 31 One book 1.00
Arte de Estudiar2.50
―Money spent 257.88. Food for this month 71.51.Total 329.63. This expense, which for me is large,
is due to the review, the mat, and the dinner which I gave. The books I bought also contributed to
it.‖
(5) If only all our heroes left such detailed lists we would not have a hard time figuring out what
they were like as ordinary people. (12/21/89)

III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: Everything is always connected with something. We can always see
how every object, person, or idea link with one another. As such, we always use
analogy in our everyday lives.
Activity
 Task 1: Everyone is Shuffling!
Directions: Every student will be given a term and each of them must find a
related term from his/her other classmates. The class must be able to
correctly identify the right pair of terms according to sameness of concept.
The terms are as follows:
Luis Palad Ipilan Rosario Quesada Wakas
Special Program in Perseverance Science Enhancement Wisdom

Journalism Program
Nutrition Month July Teacher’s Month September
Malagunlong Bridge St. Michael the Church

Analysis
Guide Questions:
1. Is the activity difficult or not?
2. In your previous activity, you have grouped the connected terms with
each other. What makes you decide that the following terms are related
with each other?
47 | P a g e
3. Why should we categorize details or information just like with what you do
in the task?
 Task 2: Group it more!

Directions: On your previous task, you have already paired the following
terms correctly. This time, match the pair with another pair according to a
theme that unifies them together.
Directions: Choose the word that best completes each analogy. You may use a
dictionary if needed.
1. priest : bible :: doctor : ________________

a. chalk b. gloves c. stethoscope
2. overslept : late :: terrified : ________________
a. smile b. cry c. nod
3. tailor : scissors :: navigator : ________________
a. goblet b. pen c. compass
4. carelessness: accident :: economical : ________________
a. inventing b. lifting c. haggling
5. virus: influenza :: drought: ________________
a. landslide b. famine c. deforestation
Abstraction
Analogy is a term that means ―word relationships‖. It is a type of word problem made up of two
word pairs like this:
SAN JUANICO: TACLOBAN :: MALAGONLONG : __________
Your goal in solving an analogy is to find a word that correctly completes the second pair. At first glance
the words in an analogy may seem to have nothing to do with each other, but the words are always
logically related. Both pairs of words have the same kind of relationship. To solve an analogy, you need
to find that relationship.
Read the analogy like this:
―SAN JUANICO is to TACLOBAN as MALAGONLONG is to blank.”
Ask yourself: What is the relationship between SAN JUANICO and TACLOBAN?
It shows a landmark and its location. SAN JUANICO is the country’s longest bridge found in
Tacloban City. The second pair of words must show the same relationship. Fill in the blank with a word
that means location of MALAGONLONG, and you have solved the analogy.
TAYABAS is the best answer.
 Common Analogy Relationships:
1. person/worker and tool

Example: photographer and camera
2. Cause and effect

Example: tsunami and earthquake

Sportsmanship
A good sport has courage, determination, and culture. He observes
the code of good sportsmanship. He does not take undue advantage of
his opponent to win the game. To him the play is more important than
victory. He plays for physical exercise. He plays to prepare his mind to work
again or to study with increased effect. To a good sport, to do his best and
to play honestly are far better than merely playing to win. He is a cheerful
loser. He lives by the maxim “he who plays the game hard and straight
wins even when he loses.”

Wh-Question
Wh-question is a question in
English to which an appropriate
answer is to give information rather
than to answer "yes" or "no". It is
typically introduced by one of the
eight “wh” words: who, whose, what,
when, which, why, where and how. It
is also called information question or
question word.
Examples:
Who is that girl? Whose book is that?

What do you do for a living? When do you go to work?
Which one do you prefer? Why do you sleep early?
Where do you live? How do you go to work?
Forming WH-Questions:
 WHOreplaces pronouns and the names of people. When the question word is the
subject, the word order doesn‟t change.
Example: Columbus discovered America in 1942.

Who discovered America in 1942?
When the “wh” word replaces a word in the predicate, and the verb includes a
modal (such as “can”, “will”, “may”), a form of “to be,” or a form of the helping
verb “have” the predicate and subject are switched:
Example: He is the president.

Who is he?
However, when the “wh ” word replaces a word in the predicate, and the verb
phrase does not contain a modal, a form of “be” or a form of the helping verb
“have,” “do formation” is used:
WH- word + “do” + SUBJECT + VERB PHRASE
“Do” always takes the tense of the original verb, and the verb takes the base form:
Example: Melissa hit the janitor.
Who did Melissa hit?
 WHOSE is the possessive form of “who” and works the same way:
Example: That is Hailey’s dog.

Whose dog is that?
59 | P a g e
The do formation is used when the verb phrase does not contain a modal, a form
of “be” or a form of the helping verb “have.”
Example: Shannen drove Lorraine’s car.

Whose car did Shannen drive?
 WHAT replaces any noun or noun phrase that is not a person or pronoun. Questions
are formed with “what” the same way as with “who” and “whose”:
Example: The car hit the dog.

What hit the dog?
Bryan‟s favorite candy is chocolate.

What is Bryan‟s favorite candy?
The do formation is used when the verb does not contain a modal, a form of “be”
or a form of the helping verb “have”:
Example: Maria bought a car.

What did Maria buy?
 WHEN replaces time specific words (adverbials of time). When a modal, a form of
“be” or a form of the helping verb “have” is used, the subject and predicate are
simply switched.
Example: Lorna‟s appointment was at four o’clock.

When was Lorna‟s appointment?
of “be” or a form of the helping verb:
Example: Leony arrived at midnight.

When did Leony arrive?
 WHICH is used when one object among several has to be selected. “Which”
replaces the specific object identified:
Example: That car was involved in the accident.

Which car was involved in the accident?
The do formation is used when the verb does not contain a modal, a form of “be”
or a form of the helping verb “have.”
Example: The baseball broke that window.

Which window did that baseball break?
 WHY does not replace any specific word or phrase in a sentence. Rather, “why”
asks for the reasons an action was done. The clause in a sentence explaining “why”
usually begins with “because....” When the verb is a modal, a form of “be,” or a
form of the helping verb “have,” the subject and predicate are switched:
Example: Leila is thin because she went on a diet.

Why is Leila thin?
60 | P a g e
of the verb “be” or a form of the helping verb “have”:
Example: Noel missed the bus because he got up late.

Why did Noel miss the bus?
 WHERE refers to adverbials of place or location. If the verb contains no modal, form
of the verb “be” or form of the helping verb “have,” then the subject and
predicate are switched.
Example: The remote is on the couch.

Where are the keys?
 HOWrefers to the way, manner, or to what degree something was done; it replaces
adverbs or adverb phrases.
Example: Shawn passed the test by studying hard.

How did Shawn pass the test?

III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: We all have stories to tell. It may come in the form of a struggle, an
experience of glory or even the sweetness of love. All of us were born, all of us
have felt to be loved, and everyone does encounter the suffering of losing.
Different as it may seem, but we are the same; we have our own history. This
piece of history, big or small, may become a source of inspiration. In the end, a
human writes his own autobiography, worthy to be heard and celebrated.
Activity
 Task 1: Rizal Fanatico!
Directions: How well do you know our national hero, Jose Rizal? We already
know some information about him and last time, we found out about his own
stinginess as a person. This time, let‟s use our imagination. Imagine that Rizal is
still alive and you, being the hope of the future, are given the chance to
interview him. In a group of three persons, formulate a minimum of three
questions about his life as a hero.
Analysis
Guide Questions:
1. If you ever ask Rizal your questions, will you get a good answer from him?
2. What could be the response of Rizal to some of your queries?
3. Did you ask him about his basic details like his birthday, name of parents,
or number of siblings? If yes, why?
4. Aside from the basic information, why should one ask more in-depth
question about a person?
 Task 2: My Biodata!
Directions: Grab a partner and discover his/her life by accomplishing each
other‟s biodata.
*Read and find out how to effectively write a biographical sketch by

understanding its methods and qualities written on the biography module.
Abstraction
 Task 3: My Human-Data!
Directions: Yet, let‟s dig deeper with your lives. More than your background
and basic information, relate your aspirations, secrets, family stories, to your
partner. After the sharing, write a simple biography about the life of your
partner.
63 | P a g e
Application
 Task 5: My Hero!
Directions: Even in our neighborhood, we can encounter heroes who work
hard every day and serve as an inspiration to all. Forming a group with five
members, you must interview a Tayabense who could be considered as a
modern-day hero. Each team will choose one from the following categories.
Each interview will have the following roles:

Student #1: Interviewee
Student #2: Writer 1
Student #3: Writer 2
Student #4: Cameraman
Student #5: Director
Afterwards, create a biographical sketch highlighting their background and

most especially, their stories as people who are regarded as modern-day
heroes.

Biographical Sketch
A biography is the story of a real person‟s life (so not a fictional character) written by
someone other than that person. It can be a page or several books long. Biographies
explore the events in a person‟s life and find meaning within them.
There is no other way to explore how to write a biography other than writing one. If you
have a spare time, or if you are really interested about a certain person who has an
extraordinary or noteworthy accomplishment, you can set up an interview with the
person. Ask him/her about his/her:
 Background
Inquire about his/her family, place of origin, and education.
 Greatest Achievement so far
Find out the difficulties he/she encountered and how he/she triumphed over the
obstacles.
 Interests and Talents
 Lessons in Life
The lessons he/she has learned from his/her meaningful experiences
Organize your paragraph into 7 to 10 sentences. Remember that you are

describing the most inspiring person you know.
On the other hand, here are the common questions that you can ask whenever
you are interviewing somebody for a biographical sketch.
Biographical Sketch Interview Questions
1. Where were you born?

2. How many are in your family? What is the ―neatest‖ thing about your
family?
3. Where do your grandparents live? Who is your favorite relative (other
than your mom, dad, and siblings)?
4. What was your favorite subject at school last year? Have you ever gone
to a different school? Where?
5. What accomplishments are you the proudest of? Have you learned to do
something new recently? What?
6. What are your hobbies? What is your favorite sport? Do you take
lessons like ballet, music, gymnastics, etc. after school?
7. What makes you the happiest? What was the best time you ever had?
8. What have been some of your saddest moments?
9. What are some special events that have happened to you or to your
family?
10. What places have you visited?
11. How would you describe your personality?
12. How do think you classmates would describe you?
13. Is there something you’d like me to include in your biographical sketch
that I haven’t asked you about? What?

Meanwhile, to make your biography more interesting, you can follow the checklist of
some elements of biographical sketch below.

I’m Glad I’m a Little Guy
Carlos P. Romulo
One day at a United Nations sessions in Paris, I found myself in a heated debate with Andrei
Vishinsky, chief of the Soviet delegation. I had strongly disagreed with a proposal he had made. Suddenly,
Mr. Vishinsky insulted me. You are just a little man from a little country,‖ he said.
For him that answered the argument. My country, spared with his, is just a dot on the map. And I
stand only five feet, four inches in my shoes.
Even in my home, I’m a little fellow. My four sons all look down at me from a vantage of two or three
inches. Even my wife is an inch or so higher than I am when she is wearing high heels. Once she was
interviewed after our marriage, she made the modest remark, ―I prefer to glow faintly in my husband’s
shadow.‖ An acquaintance jested that this didn’t leave her much room to glow in.
My small stature has often been made conspicuous in my relations with famous people. During
World War II, I was aide-de-camp to General MacArthur who towered eight inches above me. We went
ashore together during the Leyte landing, and the reports stated: ―General Mac Arthur waded ashore in
waist-deep water. General Romulo was at his side.‖ A columnist wanted to know if this was true , pointing
out that if the general was waist-deep in water I would have drowned.
In my lifetime I have given much thought to the problem of littleness and bigness. And I want to say
that I’m glad to be a little fellow.
That may surprise you. Many little fellows feel a sense of inferiority because of their stature. I must
confess that in my younger days I once experimented with wearing elevated shoes. But the lifts made me
feel I was trying to appear something I was not. I threw the shoes away.
These shoes were weakening one of my great natural advantages which is this: the little fellow is
generally underrated in the beginning. Because he is small, little is expected of him. Then when he does
something well, people are surprised and impressed. In their minds, he has done a great deed.
I first became aware of this when I was on the debating team at Columbia University. My smallness
made me seem more like a schoolboy than a college student. Right from the start, the audience was
rooting for me. To them, I was the underdog, and most people were expecting so little of me.
We little fellows have another advantage, We usually have a special gift for making friends. People
feel protective over us. They find it easy to confide in us. Most of us learn in life that friendliness is as great
a force as physical strength.
Small size is no barrier to personal effectiveness. Many of the greatest men in history were not tall.
Beethoven and Admiral Nelson were both five feet, four inches. But they were giants like the poet John
Keats and the philosopher Immanuel Kant, who stood a bare five feet high. Saint Francis Xavier, one of
history’s most inspiring religious men, was reported to be only four feet and six inches tall.
Then, of course, you have the celebrated short man of them all, Napoleon I. Napoleon proved to the
world what a great man he really was. Today, a period in history is called Napoleonic Era in his honor.
I mentioned that Mr. Vishinskyinsulted me because I dared to criticize Russia. But that did not mean
that I did not answer him back. I bounded to my feet and told the assembly that Mr. Vishinsky was correct
in his description of me. But I added:
―It is the duty of the little Davids here to fling pebbles of truth between the eyes of blustering Goliaths
--- and make them behave!‖
Mr. Vishinsky frowned and said nothing.

III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction: To speak is to pronounce every word with such emotion and
conviction to deliver the appropriate message to the listeners. Such skill is a
tough act to master! Yet, to become better English learners, we need to gain
confidence in speaking through correct speech.
Activity
 Task 1: Emotions!
Directions: Did you know that the way you talk to somebody is according also
to your relationship with him or her? How do you say…
“Hello”
1. to a good friend
2. to your crush
3. to a 6-month old baby
4. to someone whom you caught doing something
5. to a neighbor that you don‟t like
“How are you?”

1. to someone you haven‟t seen for 10 years
2. to someone who recently lost a family member
“What are you doing?”

1. to your group mate in an activity
2. to someone who had done an error
3. to a 5-year old preschooler
Analysis
Guide Questions:
1. Is the activity difficult or not? Why?
2. How do you able to convey different meanings through a single statement?
3. Why is it important that we change the way we speak words according to a
particular situation?
You put stress on a syllable when you pronounce it with such a

force that gives it more importance than the surrounding syllables
and to make it stand out more among them: for example, the com-
of comfortable or the –ter in determine.
79 | P a g e
A long word frequently has two stressed syllables, one of which is usually more
prominent than the other. An example is economical. The most important
syllable bears the primary accent and the next most important bears the
secondary accent. In the case of economical, the primary accent falls on –
nom- and the secondary on e-.
Stress then is the key to the pronunciation of an English word, and the location
of the accent should always be learned with the word. If you out stress on the
wrong syllable, it may be quite difficult for anyone listening to understand what
you are trying to say.
 Task 2: Stress it out!

Directions: In order to increase your ability to recognize stresses, read these
words after your teacher. Carefully listen to the pronunciation and on you
own, be able to distinctly produce the stressed and unstressed syllables.
1. stress on the first syllable

a. ANcient c. PLEAsure
b. SACrifice d. NAtion
2. stress on the second syllable

a. eVENT c. aPOlogize
b. caDET d. auTHENtic
3. stress on the third syllable (with secondary stress on the first syllable)
a. sympaTHEtic c. geneROSity
b. disadVANtage d. matheMATical
4. stress on the first syllable (with the secondary stress on the third syllable)
a. FEBruary c. MEtaphor
b. CERemony d. DICtionary
Intonation indicates pauses, stops, and questions and

also communicates emotions. Varied intonation tells
your listener whether you are finished talking or not, if
you are asking a question, and whether you are
excited, angry, surprised or confused. Not using these
rising and falling patterns can confuse the listener
and can also leave your speech sounding monotone.
80 | P a g e
Falling Intonation
This is when your pitch lowers at the end of a phrase or sentence. We use falling
intonation at the end of a statement or with a question that uses who, what, when,
where, why, or how.
Statements Questions
1. I went to the store. 1. Who was that?
2. She has a new car. 2. What is his name?
3. I have to work late tonight. 3. When will we leave?
4. My computer is broken. 4. Where are you going?
5. He is coming home. 5. Why did you leave?
6. How did he fall?
Statements
1. Is his name John?
2. Are you leaving?
3. Are we going to the movies?
4. Is it true?
5. Can you believe it?
Rising Intonation
This is when your pitch goes up. It is used when asking a yes/no question.
Rising vs. Falling

Let's contrast the rising and falling intonation between Wh- questions and yes/no
questions.
Yes/No Question Wh- Question

Is his name John? What is his name?
Does he have a car? Which car is his?
Are you going to the store? Where are you going?
Did you finish the report? When will you finish the
report?
Is that your boss? Who is that?
Are you feeling okay? How are you feeling?
Did you take my pen? Why did you take my pen?
 Task 3: Copy and Speak!

Directions: In order to increase your ability to recognize rising and falling
intonation, read these statements after your teacher. Carefully listen to the
pronunciation and on your own, be able to distinctly produce the intonation
required for each statement.
81 | P a g e
1. What are the different destinations here in our city?
2. Do you have a famous restaurant nearby?
3. Malagunlong Bridge is one of the Spanish bridges in Tayabas.
4. Tayabasins are known for their lambanog, aren‟t they?
5. We have four festivals in Tayabas!
6. Was Tayabas a capital of Quezon province before?
7. The city rests at the foot of Mt. Banahaw.
8. Where can you find Kamayan sa Palaisdaan?
Abstraction
 Task 4: 1-2-3 syllables!
The chart below has five columns. At the top of each, there are numbers 1, 2,
and 3 which represent each syllable, and one of the numbers in each chart
are bolded and underlined, showing the syllable that is stressed.
Place each word below the corresponding column which indicates its
stressed syllable.

Directions: Form a group with three members. The group will be assigned to
read a short exchange of dialogues based on the essay, “I‟m Glad I‟m a Little
Guy.” While reading the lines, provide appropriate stress for the words and
intonation for sentences. A rubric is provided.
STUDENT 1: Carlos P. Romulo was a Filipino representative to the United

Nations. In one of its sessions, alas! He was caught in a debate

STUDENT 3: You are right with what you said about me, Mr Vishinsky.
STUDENT 1: Mr. Romulo said.
STUDENT 3: It is the duty of the little Davids here to fling pebbles of truth
between the eyes of blustering Goliaths --- and make them
behave!
STUDENT 3: Do you agree with me, Mr. Vishinsky? We should not humiliate
others. What could we benefit from doing such?
STUDENT 1: Mr. Romulo fought back. He stood up. He went against Mr.
Vishinsky. Because of this, Mr. Vishinsky just went silent.

III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: Everyday, we create our own memories. These memories may last
for a day, a month, a year, or maybe even for a lifetime. Isn‟t it great to at least
look back to what had happened? Reminisce the laughter, and feel again the
strong feelings you had felt before.
Writing diaries or personal anecdotes is what most of us want to do, but
few only did try. Everyone likes to read their own selves in the past. Because
whenever he reads his own history, he traces back the joy, loneliness, anger,
love, hope, failures, and triumphs that made him as to what he is today.

How to Write a Diary
I
n an age of blogs and social media postings, diaries still have a loyal following. They
allow you to be completely honest, secure in privacy, and able to keep your writings
forever. To write a diary, you'll need to decide the type of diary you want -- think size,
security, and frequency of writings -- then write entries that are honest, detailed, and
authentically you. Don't stress too much about the actual content; simply write about
whatever you feel is important for the best experience.
1 Writing Diary Entries

Be honest. Diaries can be cognitively beneficial. As you write your diary, try
to be as honest as possible in your entries. This is good for your emotional well-being.
 Many people find diary writing cathartic because they can let go of inhibitions
on the page and truly be themselves. Feel free to record your emotions, both
positive and negative, in their entirety in your diary.[3]
 Let go of worries about the quality of your writing. Your diary is a safe space for
you to vent and share without the pressures of external judgment. Try to take a
few minutes at the beginning of each entry to simply free write. That is, write
quickly and without inhibition. Jot down the first things that come to mind when
considering your day, current mood, and any feelings you're struggling with.
Decide what to write about. There are many different types

of diaries. Some people use diaries to record daily events. If you're working towards a
goal, like losing weight or completing a creative project, a diary can be a great means
to discuss your feelings and progress. It's up to you what you feel is important to record.
Use lots of details. Diaries are also important as they preserve

moments in their immediate aftermath. Use details in your diary entries to try to preserve
the moment.
 Think about your past before you begin writing in your diary. What do you wish
you remembered? Do you wish you had better memories of your grandmother's
laugh? Use these longings as a guide in your diary. Record, in detail, those
moments that feel precious to you and that you'll long to recall later on.
 You should be as honest in your descriptions as you are in your venting. You want
89 | P a g e
your diary to preserve your memories and perspective of an event. Talk about
things in terms that make sense to you.
Maintain a schedule. Many people struggle to find the time to

write a diary entry each day. If you're interested in maintaining a diary, try to stick to
something of a schedule.
 Write in your diary around the same time each day. This way, writing in your diary
will become as much a part of your schedule as brushing your teeth at night or
showering in the morning.
 Do not set a schedule you do not think you can keep. If you don't reasonably
think you'll be able to write in your diary every night, don't commit yourself to
doing so. Instead, choose a more lax schedule.
2 Personalizing Your Diary

Add illustrations. If you want make your diary more personal, consider
adding illustrations. This can be a fun way to make your diary more personal.
 You could also include illustrations of some the material you're writing about. You
could add a small sketch at the end of the entry or sketch in the margins. Draw
pictures of the people you saw that day, the food you ate, the movies you
watched, really anything memorable.
Alter the cover. Some diaries come with decorative covers, but some
are plain. If your cover is simply dull, you might want to add decoration. You can write
your name in colorful, fun lettering. You can add stickers or glue on cut outs from
magazines or newspapers. You can draw on the cover with colored pencils or markers.
Have fun and be creative.
