IV. Direction: Read the paragraph below and look for the claim used. Briefly explain your claim choice.
The parol of Pampanga is a mix of Filipino and Spanish cultures. The Spanish introduced us to
lanterns and their construction. The Filipinos then made use of indigenous materials and creativity to
give it a “folk” touch. Aside from the form and aesthetic, it is the ritual behind the parol that Filipinos
can draw from. There is a team effort in its correction. The community comes together to be able to fix
the lights. If not, the lights will be all tangled. A group of people helping each other in order to reach
the goal is a very beautiful thing. It proves that there is a sense of community in the area.
Claim: ______________________________________________________________________
Type of claim: ________________________________________________________________
Explanation on claim choice: _____________________________________________________
The Filipino culture I have learned is one that is a very vibrant and alive. It is a blend of many cultures
that have come to our shores & rooted in our own native Filipino culture. Many scholars say that culture
is constantly changing that is why it is very hard to define. While this is true, sometimes, it is not changing
for the better. In some ways, I believe this is happening to Filipino culture. Filipinos tend to put more
importance to foreign culture and things as compared to our own. Many foreign ideas and ways of
thinking is what we, Filipinos believe will bring the country progress. However, this is a mistake because
our culture is such a rich melting pot from which we can draw inspiration and ideas.
