Counterclaim:

This module will provide lessons and exercises about determining

textual evidence that will help you to support your argument which derived
from other text that you had read. It will engage also in the different types of
textual evidence.

Textual evidence is necessary, no matter how grammatically correct

your work but without evidence it will not succeed. It is just like presenting
court case without authentic and concrete evidence and nothing will happen.

As a writer you must learn the use of textual evidence to support your
argument. I guess you are eager to learn new things through this module.
Happy learning.

Activity 1.1 MIND MAPPING ON TEXTUAL EVIDENCE

Always remember in citing explicit textual evidence to support your answer, opinion,
or idea. Get your proof directly from the text. Here are some sentences starter:
The author says… The text states…
The text describes… The author explains…
Early in the text… For instance…
This example provides evidence that... This incident provides proof that …
An example is… An example on page…
According to the text… A quote that shows …

BRINGING ABOUT “BAYANIHAN” TO TACKLE COVID-19 IN THE PHILIPPINES
By Ryan Ducusin
(excerpt)
“We went here to seek shelter, but we didn’t know there was a virus going around.”

Virgie, along with her family who are temporarily camped in Delpan Sports Complex
together with other informal settlers, are not fully aware of what COVID -19 is. In the age of digital
media, there are still those who cannot access important information about the curre nt health state
of the country and sadly, they are the most vulnerable to the virus too.

On March 15 2020, Metro Manila was placed on Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).
This was later expanded to cover the entire island of Luzon. Domestic land, air, and sea travel to
and from Luzon are not allowed until 30 April 2020. International travel was initially allowed but
was then restricted the week after. The general population is limited to their homes, with only one
household member allowed to leave the house to buy essential goods such as food and medicines
only.

As soon as the quarantine was put into place, local government units (LGU) within Metro
Manila started to take in the homeless, putting them in temporary shelters to prevent them from
roaming around and lessen their exposure to the virus. It is only in these shelters that they began
to understand why there are less people and cars on the street.

It is not much of a concern to us. We are more concerned about our day-to-day survival."

For many like Virgie, another layer is added to their everyday struggles .

Urban poor communities in the Philippines find it hard to maintain social distancing,
especially when they live in a two-meter wide (or less) shabby home, under the bridge, or on the
steps of footbridges. Once the virus has penetrated one individual, it will only take a few days
before the entire population of the community becomes infected.

Most of the breadwinners of the families living in these areas are part of the informal sector

public transportation drivers, porters, construction, and factory workers - who stopped their
operations for the duration of the ECQ, leaving them with no income for the rest of the quarantine
period. This now puts the pressure on the barangays, local government, and the national
government to provide food and hygiene kits for the affected population.

Four weeks into the ECQ, not all families have been able to receive the promised supplies
from the government, forcing them to rally in front government offices, which has not ended well.
Uproars within communities have been reported, adding to the long list of urgent things the LGUs
have to address.

Private groups and generous individuals have begun to work together with LGUs to provide
resources for those who need it the most. Local milk drives were started by lactating
mothers; medicines and vitamins for those with existing conditions were prioritized; medical
equipment innovations were enhanced by engineers, fashion designers, and
professionals; information campaigns were translated to several languages - these are some of the
efforts which continue to bring meaning to “bayanihan”.Bayanihan is the Filipino term used to
describe people working together out of generosity to achieve the same goal, which in this case is
to fight the spread of COVID-19.
For Start Network members in the Philippines, it is quite a challenge to respond to this kind
of crisis as we ourselves are affected. Movement is limited, supplies are high in demand, and the
virus' risk is ever-present, but this hasn’t stopped us from delivering aid to the communities we
work with Oxfam has recently conducted a webinar on the economic impacts of COVID-19 on
women.

Questions Answer Detail/s, Line, Quote
from the Text
1. What is the message of the text
2. Is there a word which constantly mentioned in
the article? What is it? How does this word help
you to determine subject?
3. Which paragraph from the text do you think is
most important? Why do you think this?
4. Is there any part of the article that tells you,
how Bayanihan puts people together?
5. How does the article ends?

TEXTUAL EVIDENCE defined as a text from fiction or non-fiction that

you can use to illustrate your ideas and support arguments.
There are four types of textual evidence namely referencing, summarizing,
paraphrasing, and quoting.

Referencing is mentioning event or action in the text. This

is usually useful when you want to point something out to support a
point you are trying to make but you do not like to use the other type.

Summarizing is putting someone else’s words into your own words.

This is usually useful when you want to point a larger section of the
text but do not need the details of the original text.

Paraphrasing is also putting someone else’s words into your own

words. This is useful when you need more details than a summary
but less than a direct quote.

Quotation is using the exact word from the original text. This is
useful when you want to capture the particular language an author
uses.

The Bayanihan spirit lives on in COVID-19 fight

by Manila Bulletin_Admin

2GO passenger vessels ready to host repatriated Seafarers

2GO Group Inc. is ready to welcome aboard returning Filipino seafarers and workers to
carry out their mandatory 14-day quarantine on two of its passenger vessels, the shipping and
logistics company announced.
In partnership with the Department of Transportation (DOTr), 2GO provided these
passenger vessels to be used as quarantine facilities. The move was in response to the call of
Secretary Arthur Tugade for private passenger ships to be used for this purpose because of
tight capacities.
“We are ready to do our national duty to help the government in curbing the Covid-19
pandemic. We have provided our vessels to accommodate our repatriated fellow Filipinos, while
ensuring the necessary conditions for a safe and comfortable stay are in place,” said Waldo
Basilla, 2GO Group’s Chief Operating Officer.
“This project comes at a meaningful time as we recently celebrated Easter. The
message on hope and renewal resonates with our wish for the safety of everyone and desire to
return to normal life,” he added.
