disorganized, biased or unbiased, true or false, and accurate or not.

once the listener fully understands what the speaker is trying to say. Having a clear
understanding of the speaker’s message allows the listener to evaluate the message.

heard will affect their own ideas, decisions or beliefs. Evaluating a certain text can

III. ACTIVITIES
A. Listen to a Point
Listen as one of your family members reads the news report. Take note of information
that will help you decide whether the report is valid, accurate, and relevant and with
adequate information.

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The Philippines was better able to address

inequalities between men and women in 2013 than the year before. This is according
to the 2013 Global Gender Gap Report, which ranks the Philippines 5th out of 136
countries in terms of progress in closing the male-female gender gap in economics,
politics, education, and health.
In 2012, the Philippines ranked 8th."Philippines is the only country in Asia and the
Pacific that has fully closed the gender gap in both education and health," the report
reads.
The index measured gender disparities in education in terms of literacy and the ratio
of men and women per education level. Health was measured in terms of life
expectancy and the sex ratio at birth. The report – a project of the World Economic
Forum – measures "results" rather than "input." The report focused on how the
female population fared against the opposite gender, instead of gauging how well a
country invested in female-friendly policies.
"This year, the Philippines scores a higher ratio in the wage equality survey,
improves its estimated earned income, and has a larger representation of female
professional and technical workers," read the report.
