I. INTRODUCTION :
II. OBJECTIVES:
Before you proceed to the main lesson, test yourself in this activity.
Activity 1
Direction. Identify the following ethnic costumes if it belongs to Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao.
An ethnic group or ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other, usually on the basis of
presumed similarities such as a common language, ancestry, history, society, culture, nation, religion, race
or social treatment within their residing area. Ethnicity is often used synonymously with the term nation,
particularly in cases of ethnic nationalism, and is separate from, but related to the concept of races.
The term ethnic is derived from the Greek word ethnos more precisely, from the adjective ethnikos, which
was loaned into Latin as ethnicus. The inherited English language term for this concept is folk, used
alongside the latinate people since the late Middle English period.
