2. Visually present what you have understood from the reading 2 and in no less than 5 sentences write a
short paragraph in the text read in reading 2.

According to my interpretation, reading number two discusses the humanity and personality of every Filipino.
They discussed the various facets of Filipino individuality. I also realize that each component of our bodies,
including our external features and internal organs, has unique qualities. Each Filipino, with their unique
physical and emotional characteristics, contributes to the overall personality of the country. The use of words
with deep action meanings is also explained. They demonstrated how our physical characteristics contribute to
the distinctive Filipino culture and identity, as well as how our language use reveals something about who we
are. How Filipinos express their wills and consciences in various aspects of their lives.
