• Use information from news reports, speeches, informative talks, panel discussions etc. in everyday
conversations and exchanges. (EN10LC-Ia-11.1193)

• Compare and contrast the contents of the materials viewed with outside sources of information
in terms of accessibility and effectiveness. (EN10LC-la-11.1.)

• Employ analytical listening in problem solving. (ENlC-IIe-13.2)

Anything that provides knowledge, about someone or something is called a source of information. The
source may come from observations speeches, documents, news, pictures, organization, and daily
conversations.

As our world becomes dynamic, people tend to rely on different sources of information. These sources
can be in printed form such as newspapers, magazines, encyclopedia, and dictionary.

Today, the use of television, radio, social media platforms, and internet to get information is necessary
to make us knowledgeable and be able to share and exchange authentic data with others.

Sources of Information

As information is highly available everywhere, it is essential that you identify the sources of your information.
Evaluating where they came from will help you get rid of fake news and other unverified information. Basically,
there are three major sources of information: primary, secondary, and tertiary documents.

Primary Documents
These are first-hand documents written by those who experience and/or see them at the period of
research or the time an event happens.

Examples: artifacts photos speeches panel discussion

diaries manuals video recordings historical documents

Secondary Documents
These are documents written as recount of events. The author has not personally witnessed what he
or she has written. These include interpretations, discussions, commentaries, or evaluations of prime
resources.

Examples: biographical works evaluation books criticisms

Tertiary Sources
These are basically collections of information from primary and secondary sources.

Examples: almanacs directories database abstracts encyclopedia

One of the most common sources of information is news. News refers to a packaged information
about new events happening somewhere else. It must be factual and interesting and must contain 5 W’s and
H.

News moves through many different media. It can be based on word of mouth, printing, broadcasting,
and electronic communication.
 Media Accessibility and Effectiveness

Media is a type of mass communications which function is to provide information, raise awareness, educate,
socialize, entertain, and to set agenda. A good information is essential for sustaining effective communication;
thus, it is important to evaluate a source’s accessibility and effectiveness.

✓ Accessibility refers to the quality of being easy to find, obtain, and use.

✓ Effectiveness refers to the degree of being able to achieve the desired result based on their
objective or purpose.

Characteristics of a Good Source of Information

Accuracy – reliable; free from flaws; high quality

Completeness – information should provide needed details such as WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, HOW, and
WHY
Timeliness – information is up-to date
Consistency – the state of reaching a level that does not differ greatly in quality over time; terms, acronyms,
and abbreviations are clearly defined and consistently used
Relevance – information should suit the demand, needs, and interest of the readers
Uniqueness – information must be distinct

Analytical Listening

Aside from utilizing media accessibility and effectivity, it is also a must to employ analytical listening to
avoid miscommunication, misinterpretation, and misinformation.

Analytical listening, sometimes called critical or active listening, deals with one’s ability and capacity to
carefully and properly analyze the sound/s listened to. This does not only involve comprehension on what has
been heard, but more importantly, the ability to distinguish and categorize the information listened to.

Analytical listening is a very helpful strategy in problem-solving activities. In solving a particular issue or
concern, it is important to identify first the significant information required. In solving a problem in a listening
text, the first task is to identify the problem. From the listening texts, find the answers for the following
questions: who, what, how, when, where and why.

According to American Society for Quality (2020), there are four (4) steps in solving a problem which
include the following:

1. Define the problem;

2. Generate alternative solutions;
3. Evaluate and select an alternative; and
4. Implement and follow up on the solution.

Philippines: COVID-19 cases rise as testing increased, clearing of backlog

By NewsDesk @infectiousdiseasenews
May 31, 2020

Philippines health officials reported an additional 590 confirmed COVID-19 cases today, bringing the country total to
17,224.

The number of daily confirmed cases has risen as a result of increased testing and the Department of Health’s (DOH)
aggressive efforts to catch up on the testing backlog, according to Health OIC-Undersecretary Dr. Maria Rosario
Singh-Vergeire.

According to the DOH, “fresh cases” refer to test results came out and were validated by the Epidemiology Bureau
in the last three days. “Late cases” are those whose results came out four days ago or more but were just recently
confirmed.

Of the newly reported cases today, 252 are “fresh cases”, while 338 are “late” cases.

Much of the reporting of COVID-19 cases has experienced a delay due to operational issues with the manual data
collection. According to public health epidemiologist Dr. Troy Gepte, this delay needs to be taken into consideration
when reading the numbers, because they do not translate to an increase in local transmission at that very moment.

In addition, eight deaths were reported today, putting the total death count at 950.

Officials say mortality due to COVID-19 has been on the decline since late March, assuring the DOH that the
healthcare sector’s treatment of the illness has been progressively improving.
