6 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

7 Radio Teacher: Welcome to another new and engaging lesson. Time have

8 changed but the values have not.

9 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

10 Radio Teacher: But before we proceed to our lesson, let me check if you really

11 gained something on the previous lesson we had last week. Are you ready?

12 Learners: Yes, ma’am.

13 Radio Teacher: That’s great. Last time you were able to learn about

14 propaganda techniques used in different advertisements. Am I correct?

15 Learner: Yes, ma’am.

16 Radio Teacher: After knowing the different Propaganda Techniques, I bet, you

17 were also able to know the purposes of Propaganda. Can you give one?

18 Learner: Ma’am one purpose of propaganda is to inform and to trick people.

19 Radio Teacher: Very well said! Is there anything else?

20 Learner: Ma’am I think the main purpose of propaganda is to persuade.

21 Radio Teacher: Excellent! Just to give you more information, Propaganda can

22 be visual or auditory as well. Cartoons, posters, songs, speeches, radio,

23 television broadcasts, and even graffiti can be forms of propaganda.

24 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

9 Are you excited?

10 Learners: Yes, we are so excited ma’am.

11 Radio Teacher: So, what are you waiting for? Come on, hop in and let’s start

12 strolling.

13 BIZ: INSERT BEEP/SOUNDS OF A JEEPNEY

14 Radio Teacher: To start with, I want you to listen to a song, titled, Lupang

15 Hinirang, which was composed by Julian Felipe, a Filipino music teacher and

16 composer from Cavite. And written by Jose Palma a 23-year-old soldier. Let’s

17 listen carefully to this song.

18 BIZ: INSERT SONG “LUPANG HINIRANG”

19 Radio Teacher: there you have it, you’ve just listened to our National Anthem,

20 titled, Lupang Hinirang. It was composed by Julian Felipe and was heard

21 publicly for the first time on June 12, 1898 but during that time it was just a mere

22 march. The defiant lyrics to march the stirring strains of Felipe were supplied by

23 Jose Palma, remember your Philippine History lesson?

24 Learners: Yes, ma’am.

25 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

Radio Teacher: Wow! You have such a great memory. What does our National

Anthem mean to you? Does the song reflect the beliefs you have about our

country?

Learner: Ma’am, our National Anthem reflects the Philippine History.

1 Radio Teacher: Very good! Is there anything else you would like to add?

2 Learner: Ma’am the song’s message is about love, respect and nationalism.

3 Radio Teacher: Precisely! Our national anthem is important, something taught

4 to us early in life. It lingers, becoming embodied. We hear strains of the music

5 and we stand

9 Literature…444

10 alert, put our right hand over our heat, ready to sing out. So, whenever and

11 wherever we hear our National Anthem, we should give respect by doing those

12 simple ways.

13 Learners: Yes ma’am.

14 Radio Teacher: Ok! The song you’ve just listened has something to do with our

15 lesson today, and it is about Literature. And we will know more about it after this

16 short break.

17 BIZ: MSC UP THEN FADE

18 BIZ: INSERT INFOMERCIAL #1

19 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

20 Radio Teacher: I’m back! I guess you are now ready to know more about

21 Literature. Do you have any idea about it?

22 Learner: Ma’am, literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes

23 spoken materials and sometimes refers to works of the creative imagination,

24 including poetry, drama, song and more.

25 Radio Teacher: Exactly! Literature came from the Latin word Littera, which

means letters. It is a representation of a culture and tradition of a language or a

people and one example of literature is the song “Lupang Hinirang” which you’ve

just listened to a while ago.

BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

1 Radio Teacher: Now that you’ve understood literature, do you believe that

2 literature is a mirror to a shared heritage of people with diverse backgrounds?

3 Learners: Yes ma'am!

4 Radio Teacher: How did you say so? Can you give me your reason?

5 Learner: Ma’am because it is a way for everyone to express their emotions,

6 culture and their stories.

7 Radio Teacher: Excellent answer! Do you have more in your mind?

10 -MORE-

11 Literature…555

12 Learner: Ma’am it is like a border that can unite people with different

13 backgrounds or

14 personalities. The world seems smaller because the people can explore the

15 world through literature.

16 Radio Teacher: I’m very impressed with that answer!

17 Learner: Ma’am, may I ask something?

18 Radio Teacher: Yes, what is it?

19 Learner: Ma’am what do we mean by the words Heritage and Diverse

20 Background?

21 Radio Teacher: Oh! That’s a good question. But let me explain more to you

22 those terms after this short reminder.

23 BIZ: MSC UP THEN FADE

24 BIZ: INSERT REMINDER

25 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

Radio Teacher: You’re still tuning in to 106.3 FM, DANHS RADIO, “Where

learning is amazing”.

BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

Radio Teacher: Heritage is a person’s unique, inherited sense of family identity:

1 the values, traditions, culture, and artifacts handed down by previous

2 generations. 

3 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

4 Radio Teacher: Diverse backgrounds in the simplest way, it is the differences in

5 custom, beliefs, traditions and cultures. Did you get the meaning?

6 Learner: Yes, ma’am

7 Learner: Can you give us some examples ma’am?

8 Radio Teacher: Yes! For you to fully understand what Heritage and Diverse

9 backgrounds are, let me give you some examples. One best example of

10 Heritage that we practice here in our province is the Bambanti Festival. The

11 festival derives its name

12

13

14 -MORE-

15 Literature…666

16 from the Ilocano word for “scarecrow”, and the Bambanti has become the iconic

17 symbol for the farming communities of Isabela. Its meaning is emblematic of the
18 historic ties farmers have with scarecrows and their crops, and represent the

19 diligence and resoluteness of the people of Isabela. This festival is celebrated

20 annually.

21 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

22 Radio Teacher: Remember, after knowing and understanding our local

23 heritage, that it is our responsibility to conserve it, because it keeps our integrity

24 and it defines our way of living. Can you give some ways on how can we

25 conserve our local heritage?

Learner: Ma’am one way to conserve our local heritage is by sharing it to

others. By this, we are spreading awareness. We can use our Online platforms

in posting and telling them about our local heritage.

Radio Teacher: Wow! You’re such a great influencer! Any other idea?

1 Learner: Ma’am another way is by volunteerism. Let us join local projects that

2 promotes the protection of our local heritage.

3 Radio Teacher: Amazing move my dear! Well, we can do a lot in conserving our

4 local heritage. Let’s all do our part as people of this country.

5 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

6 Radio Teacher: The Province of Isabela is composed of different ethnicities.

7 Some speak Ilocano and some speak Ibanag. Both have different customs,

8 culture and beliefs and that’s what we called diverse backgrounds. Is everything

9 clear to you now?

10 Learners: Yes ma'am.

11 Learner: Ma’am, what is now the connection of heritage and diverse

12 backgrounds to literature?

13 Radio Teacher: Wow! That is a great question! Through literature we can share

14 our differentiated cultures and traditions to others. It can serve as an introduction

15 to a new
16

17

18 -MORE-

19 Literature…777

20 world of experience and can be transferred from one generation to another. Did

21 you get it now?

22 Learners: Wow! Literature is so powerful ma’am. It unites us even though we

23 have a lot of differences.

24 Radio teacher: That’s true my dear learners! That is why our National Anthem

25 mirrors our heritage, culture and history.

BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

Radio Teacher: Now, to fully understand your lesson for today, let me ask you,

why is literature a mirror to a shared heritage of people with diverse

backgrounds?

1 Learner: Ma’am, it is a mirror to a shared heritage because whenever we stand

2 in front of a mirror, we see our reflection. Whenever we read a piece of Literary

3 work, we see the reflection of the heritage of the group of people, its author, or

4 of the group of people

5 he or she is writing about- their culture, customs, traditions and beliefs which

6 might be

7 different from us.

8 Radio Teacher: You are really exceptional today! But, why is it important for us

9 to learn that literature is a reflection? Do you have any idea?

10 Learner: For us to understand people’s culture, customs, beliefs and traditions

11 Ma’am.

12 Radio Teacher: That’s fantastic! Can you give another one?

13 Learner: Ma’am, to understand that we are different from one another.

14 Radio Teacher: Perfect! In addition to that, it is for us to understand that we

15 need to respect other people and what makes them different from us as well.

16 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

17 Radio Teacher: I hope you are practicing those whenever you read or listen to

18 any literary piece. Let’s apply all the learnings you’ve gained. First, let us unlock

19 the meaning of some unfamiliar words that could be found in the poem, titled,

20 Vision. Which

21

22

23 -MORE-

24 Literature…888

25 you will be using on your first activity. Ready?

Learner: Yes, Ma’am!

Radio Teacher: I want you to identify the meaning of the unfamiliar words

through context clues. 1. They protested against cruelty to animals. Based on

the sentence what do you think is the meaning of the word cruelty?

1 Learner: Ma’am the meaning of the work cruelty is inhuman treatment or

2 violence.

3 Radio Teacher: Wow! You arrived at the correct meaning. 2. The cows were

4 foraging in the pasture. What is the meaning of the word foraging?

5 Learner: to look or to gather food is the meaning of the word foraging Ma’am

6 Radio Teacher: That's great! Number 3. Do not despair, for as long as you are

7 alive there is hope. What do you think is the meaning of the word despair?

8 Learner: I think the meaning of the word despair is losing one’s hope ma’am.

9 You are unbelievable! You got it right! Number 4. Her battered body was

10 discovered in a field. What is the meaning of the word battered?

11 Learner: Based on the sentence, the meaning of the word battered is beaten or
12 hit many times Ma’am.

13 Radio Teacher: Precisely! Number 5. We can overcome this gloominess we

14 are suffering. What is the meaning of the word gloominess?

15 Learner: Ma’am the meaning of the word gloominess is darkness.

16 Radio Teacher: You are really amazing! You have just unlocked the meaning of

17 those unfamiliar words. I hope it helped/ enhanced your vocabulary skill. Now

18 let’s listen to a literary piece, titled, Vision by Feraya. By the way, Feraya is a

19 Burmese writer who was born in Kalaw, Shan State, Burma. Now, lend me your

20 ears and let’s all listen attentively.

25 Literature…999

Radio Teacher: There you have it! Again, what is the title of the poem and who

is the author?

Learner: The title of the poem is Vision and it is written by Feraya, a Burmese

writer.

1 Radio Teacher: Exactly! In your opinion, why do you think the author titled it

2 “Vision”?

3 Learner: Ma’am I think it has something to do with her country, which he/she

4 said that it is full of beauty and that Burmese people are gentle and kind but

5 freedom is out of reach.

6 Radio Teacher: Perfect! Do you want to add more?

7 Learner: Despite the beauty and the kindness of people, that there is ugliness.

8 It’s her vision that Burmese people may rise up like a beautiful lotus from a

9 muddy pond.
10 Radio Teacher: Excellent! Now for your Activity #1 titled, ANALYZE ME! on

11 page 2. Read and analyze the message that underlies from the given lines. We

12 will check some

13 of your answers after this trivia.

14 BIZ: MSC UP THEN FADE

15 BIZ: INSERT TRIVIA

16 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

17 Radio Teacher: I’m back! I bet you’re done answering the first 2 lines of the

18 poem titled, Vision by Feraya. Let me read the lines for #1. A country of great

19 beauty. People so gentle and kind. What do you think is the meaning of these

20 lines?

21 Learner: Ma’am the meaning of the first 2 lines is that the country Burma or

22 Myanmar is a beautiful country and Burmese people are kind and easy to deal

23 with.

24 Radio Teacher: Bravo! For number 2, There is so ugliness and cruelty.

25 Fleeing and hiding. And foraging for food to survive. What do you think is

the meaning of these lines?

Learner: Ma’am I think, the author is telling that despite the beauty that their

country

2 -MORE-

3 Literature…101010

4 possesses, there is ugliness and they are fleeing and hiding because of cruelty.

5 Radio Teacher: Very well said my dear! Now, you may continue answering the

6 last three items after this broadcast.

7 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

8 Radio Teacher: For your activity #2, titled, Fill me up, you need to put your new

9 learning on the realities of life by answering the given 3 questions. For example:

10 number 1. Why are there many people who suffered from darkness? Remember

11 that darkness doesn’t only mean there is an absence of light, but if we think

12 figuratively the meaning of this word is, there are people who suffer and

13 experience poverty and beggary. We all know that poverty is one of our

14 country’s greatest problems which lead to beggary, that means, people without

15 enough supply of basic needs tend to go to streets and ask or beg for something

16 just to satisfy or have what they need in a short span of time.

17 Is number one clear to you now?

18 Learners: Yes ma’am.

19 Radio Teacher: That’s great! Can you do it on your own now?

20 Learners: Yes ma’am.

21 Radio Teacher: After accomplishing your activities, I want you to know that the

22 poem you’ve listened to a while ago has a deeper meaning. The author might

23 have given all the negativity bounding the kind and gentle people of the country,

24 He/she has still high hopes that the people will wake and rise up against the

25 evils or negativities. I hope you do the same. Even though we are having this

pandemic, let’s all hope that everything will be ok soon. Did you get it?

Learner: Yes Ma’am.

Radio Teacher: Let’s summarize what we have finished today. First, we learned

how literature served as a mirror to a shared heritage of people with diverse

1 backgrounds.

6 Second, by understanding our national anthem and knowing the emblematic

meaning of Bambanti Festival, we were able to promote our local heritage. And

third, we were also able to give some tips like volunteerism and spreading

awareness in conserving/ preserving our local heritage. Is everything clear now?

Learner: Yes, ma’am.

John M. Tumulak, this is your host ______________, leaving you a quote about

literature,

“Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human

society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the

truth of the tale, of the imagination and of the heart”.

 VISION
By: Feraya
A country of great beauty
People so gentle and kind
There is so ugliness
And cruelty
Fleeing and hiding
And foraging for food

To survive
Our people are in pain
Suffering like no hell on earth
Darkness and despair
Surround them

And freedom is out of reach

Beaten and battered by life

Death and diseases
Swallowed up by gloominess
And bitterness
How can they carry on?

Each of us has role to play

To help our countrymen
Not by hatred and blame
Not by giving false hope
Or ideas
Or concepts

But to see the big vision

A vision that’s not small or limited

A vision that’s vast and spacious
So that Burma’s people may rise up
Like a beautiful lotus
From a muddy pond.
Radio Teacher: In addition to that, I want you to continue practicing what you’ve
