true? Let’s find out in our lesson.

At this moment, I have here different pictures

wherein you are going to determine if the
pictures are relevant or irrelevant to one

Are they relevant or irrelevant? Because if the parents are always fighting, it is

important to know the relevance and

How about in text? Is it easy? No, Ma’am.

Why it is not easy? Because we need to read, Ma’am.

Okay, but reading is part of our life, Yes, Ma’am.

especially us, I as a teacher and all of you as
a student. Is it clear?

Okay, good. Nowadays, it is truly a difficult

task to determine whether or not the
information you have received is valid,
accurate, and truthful. Available sources are
open to widespread misinformation, media
manipulation and propagandizing. Thus, it is

Page 9 | 22
Connecting to the World / ENGLISH 9 Quarter 3
 TAYABAS WESTERN ACADEMY
Founded 1928 | Recognized by the Government | Candelaria, Quezon 4323

important to exercise being a critical and

analytical reader, listener, or viewer so you
will not be misled with fake news.
Here are some ways to determine the
relevance, truthfulness, and validity of an
information.

1. It's okay to doubt. Upon receiving

Is it a reliable source of information?

of the local power plant? It is best to assess
first whether or not the deformity is caused
by the power plant or other external factors.

3. Understand different forms of fake news.

trends, or events. Clickbaits are usually

(SPOT.ph) We were taught in poetry class

that satire is the hardest to pull off yet the
most effective if done well. Satire (pang-
uuyam in Filipino) is the use of humor to
show that someone or something is foolish,
weak, or bad. It often ridicules a person,
government, or society by way of subtle and
funny lines. Being the subject of good satire
is like being the loser in high school, you
have no idea that you're already the butt of
the joke.

Satirical pieces are commentaries that

should be taken seriously because they point
out national issues that we should be
concerned about. But not too serious that
you believe what they say literally.

But how exactly can you tell when something

is satire? Who can forget the Jinggoy
Estrada hoax of 2013? One of the satire sites
posted the headline "Jinggoy Estrada
arrested after trying to smuggle money inside
his breasts to U.S." What was obviously a
false headline turned into a social media

Filipino teen dies after binge-playing

Mobile Legends
By Androel Encarnation
June 4, 2020, 6:06 PM

A Filipino teenager gamer died May 31

after spending too much time on playing
Mobile Legends and forgetting to eat.
Johnreymar, 18, of General Trias City
kept failing to address his bodily needs, such
as food and rest, as he was fixated with the
popular mobile multiplayer game. According
to Cavite Connect on Facebook, his
excessively long gaming sessions ultimately
led to complications in his lungs. He was
scolded by his parents and bullied by his
friends.
Johnreymar was rushed to the hospital on
May 24, but he was returned home as his
family could not afford the hospital expenses
and that the hospital was already
overcrowded with COVID-19 patients. He
died a week later.
If not death, video game addiction can
lead to paralysis and other life-altering
changes. Parents, meanwhile, should teach
their children to manage their time wisely and
to make use of modern technology
responsibly to avoid addiction. Internet users
in the Philippines, including gamers, are
among the most Internet-addicted people in

President Ferdinand Marcos’s Claim to

the War on Drugs
Drugs are the greatest enemy of every individual and the society. Since then, it is the unsolved
problem that led to different issues concerning it. It was not hidden from all that our recent president
Rodrigo Duterte had a decision that was against the moral law of a human.
According to Phelim Kine, “Welcome to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s ‘war on drugs.’
The details of the killings of those four people provide grisly context for the hard data of the more
than 7,000 suspected drug users and drug dealers killed by police and “unidentified gunmen” since
Duterte took office on June 30, 2016. They also challenge the Duterte government’s persistent denial
that police are committing extrajudicial killings. That death toll also doesn’t include the victims that
Duterte calls “collateral damage”— children shot dead in anti-drug operations. The extraordinary
brutality of the Duterte drug war is undeniable. Many of the victims are found in back alleys or street
corners wrapped in packing tape, their bodies bullet-ridden or bearing stab wounds and other signs of
torture. Duterte justifies his anti-drug campaign as a life-or-death struggle against a “drug menace”
that he claims threatens to transform the Philippines into a “narco-state.” He is untroubled by the fact
that the statistics he brandishes to back up this hyperbole are flawed, exaggerated, or fabricated.”

the problem, the prevention. Let us teach the children: 'Do not go there. You won't achieve anything.
Most of those who went there were either jailed or are now dead. So why would you want that?”.
Building rehabilitation is his way to prevent the spreading of drugs to every individual,
especially to the young ones. "In fact, right now, we are trying to formulate how, what is the latest,
and what’s the best way for the rehabilitation," the president said.
Can President Marcos achieve his goal? Can drugs be wiped out? Can young ones be free
from drug addiction?
