Who Thinks We Are Poor?
Marivic F. Cartagena
Living in today’s world can be tough and challenging. But that does not mean
that starvation is necessary. Each person is surviving and thriving in whatever
circumstances to be faced. That is the true spirit of Filipino resiliency and optimism.
There is a town family with five kids whose parents have trained and motivated
their children to be optimistic in whatever challenges they face in their daily living.
The parents, Juan and Jacinta are farmers who labor as a tenant in a two-hectare
land use for rice, corn, and other crops. They taught their eldest child, Jose, a fifteen-
year-old lad, to be resourceful in finding means to help them in working at the field
and to prepare their daily meal. Their parents oftentimes tell them, ―especially the
fourteen-year-old, Josefa, the second child, who takes care of her younger siblings,
that they are not poor since they eat three times a day, they have a living, and they
love one another.
In the deepest thoughts of the second child, she wonders why they are not
considered poor. She continues her secondary education, but her eldest brother
stopped his schooling recently to help their parents in their field. Yes, they eat three
times a day but the food they put on the table is not enough and not balanced even
though they try to serve nutritious vegetables at all meals. She is in a dilemma trying
to gather her courage to discuss her views with their parents.
So, does Josefa really have the point? Are they not really poor or are they?

NegOr_Q3_English9_Module2_v2
Moreover, farmers, fisherfolks, individuals residing in rural areas who belong
to families with income below the official poverty thresholds had the highest poverty
incidences among the basic sectors while individuals residing in urban areas, senior
citizens, migrant and formal sector workers had the lowest poverty incidences among
the basic sectors.
https://psa.gov.ph/poverty-press-releases/nid/162541
If you were in the shoes of Josefa, would you feel the same way? Why
or why not?
When can you say that a certain idea is relevant and validates the
truth?
This must have been a tough task but you’re doing just fine! Now, I
want you to go into a deeper understanding of the activities that you went
through actively. READ and take your time to get the important points about
this lesson on determining the relevance and truthfulness of the ideas
presented in the material viewed or read.

NegOr_Q3_English9_Module2_v2
To verify how truthful the ideas are from any material or information, we
need to:
There are various forms of lack of truthfulness. Here are some of its
forms and categories:

NegOr_Q3_English9_Module2_v2
Seven Types of Mis- and Disinformation
For example, the headline says, “Man Tries to Hug a Wild Lion, You
Won’t Believe What Happens Next! It invites the readers to read the
content or the viewers to watch the video but the details does not
support the headline but it is just for competition of viewers/readers
which makes the reader or audience a victim and felt that they are
deceived.
Based from: https://ethicalmediatraining.eu/training/activities/media-disinformation/
Fact check: Aquino has been mum about the proposal, even if an
online petition, which was rolled out on www.change.org last year,
had already received more than 39,000 supporters to rename NAIA.

For example, doubtful URLs and websites that discuss personal and
political issues of famous individuals. One of the suggestions to
check according to

5. Imposter content – When genuine sources are impersonated.
More examples:
A. The COVID-19 virus does not transmit through water while swimming.
However, the virus spreads between people when someone has close contact
with an infected person.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Avoid crowds and maintain at least a 1-metre distance from others, even
when you are swimming or at swimming areas. Wear a mask when you’re
not in the water and you can’t stay distant. Clean your hands frequently,
cover a cough or sneeze with a tissue or bent elbow, and stay home if you’re
unwell.

public/myth-busters.
B. COVID-19 could be fatal, but this happens rarely. According to WHO, 82%
of infected patients will have mild presentations, 15% will have severe
manifestations, and only 3% will be critical. As mentioned before, older
people, people with compromised immune systems, and people with pre-
existing medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, are more
prone to fall severely ill with the virus. Around 2% of people infected with the
disease have died. https://doh.gov.ph/CO VID-19/FAQs
8
NegOr_Q3_English9_Module2_v2
Answers: Ideas from letters A and B are relevant to the current situation
and to the topic being asked and both are truthful as they provide information
from trusted and valid sources such as the World Health Organization (WHO)
and letter B is from the website of the Department of Health (DOH) of which
the data given was based on WHO. The ideas from letter C does not give
relevance to the topic and does not show honesty since the ideas are false or
fabricated only as the source verified them as myths.
Another example:
1) 2)
https://doh.gov.ph/covid-19/infographics/health-advisories https://bit.ly/3u68xF2
Relevant because this is applicable during Irrelevant because the idea of the material
the pandemic and provides truthful does not provide nor support any study,
information from a reliable source, DOH. therefore, it is untruthful.
