3. Abstraction

a.) Discussion
 Culture- Culture can be defined as all the (The students listen to the discussion)
ways of life including arts, beliefs and
institutions of a population that are
passed down from generation to
generation. Culture has been called "the
way of life for an entire society." As
such, it includes codes of manners,
dress, language, religion, rituals, art.

History of Catbalogan

The original name of the Catbalogan was

Katbalaugan or Kabalaugan. It was first
organized by the priests of the Jesuits Order or
the Society of Jesus sometime in October
1596. On the first decades of the Spanish
colonization of the country, Samar was under
the jurisdiction of Cebu. Later, it was declared
as a separate province. In 1735, Samar and
Leyte were united into one province with
Cariaga, in Leyte, as the capital. But the union
did not prove satisfactory. In 1768, Catbalogan
City became the provincial capital when Samar
separated from Leyte and became an
independent province.

From the colonization of Spaniards to the

governance of Americans and to the
oppressions of the Japanese troops,
Catbalogan suffered much. Even though there
were little developments when it comes to
economy and infrastructures, the natives still
hoped for the freedom they have been longing
for. As early as 1960, Catbalogan already
agitated to become a city. On March 15, 2007,
Catbalogan finally attained its cityhood.

b.) Generalization
Okay, let's see if you all learned something.
Who can tell me what is culture?
Yes, Carl?
Why did you say that it is arts?
How come that arts reflects in our culture?
Do you all agree, class?
Ma'am culture is anything that can be
defined in arts.
Because arts such as music, paintings
and dance reflects in our culture.
arts is passed down from generation to
generation, the traditions are sometimes
being passed in songs, dances and arts
so that the retention can be easily
acquired.

"Yes, ma'am!
c.) Valuing
