Food pantries spread in Philippines as Covid 19

restrictions bite
MANILA: Community-run stalls offering free food
to the needy have multiplied across the Philippines, with
many struggling to feed their families as COVOD-19
restrictions bite and government help falls short.

Street sweeper Juliet Reyes regularly picks up fruit and

vegetables from a curbside food pantry in the capital Manila, where a recent lockdown to
contain a surge in infections threw hundreds of thousands out of work.
“I’m very thankful. It’s a big help for us who are most in need,” said Reyes, 41, who supports
a family of eight on her meagre daily wage of 200 pesos.
“When I go home I will cook what I got today.”
Patricia Non ignited the nationwide movement this month after parking a bamboo cart stocked
with rice, pasta, canned food, and vegetables raided from her kitchen beside a busy street.
A handwritten cardboard sign urged passers-by to “Give what you can, take what you need”.
Within hours, the cart was empty and Non issued a plea on Facebook for donations, which went
viral.
“Many are in need and I have more than enough for myself at home,”
Questions:
Non, 26, told AFP. “It’s not a solution to hunger and poverty. But it’s a stop-gap measure.”

Lesson 2. SOUNDNESS OF REASONING

Authors present their ideas and support them with specific reasons and evidence to convince
the reader. Thus, a reader should evaluate the reasons or evidence before giving judgement.
The information used by an author in giving his/her reasons can be classified according to:
1. Factual Information are those that solely deal with facts. These are short, non-
explanatory, and rarely give in-depth background on a topic. These statements can be
verified or proven to be true or false.
Factual information resources can be found in encyclopedias, almanacs, government
resources, or statistics.

Examples:
 The Philippines is a republic with a presidential form of government wherein
power is equally divided among its three branches.
 Philippines is an island country of Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean.

2. Subjective content or information are those which come from only one point of view.
It involves judgement, feeling, opinion, intuition or emotion rather than factual
information. Opinions are useful to persuade, but careful readers and listeners will notice
and demand evidence to back them up.

Examples:
 “Beautiful Girls” was an entertaining show that should have never been cancelled.
 Yellow is the best color among all the colors.
 Strawberries taste better than blueberries.
We need to analyze the type of information used by the author in giving reasons and evidence
in his/her text to understand the purpose of the text – to persuade, to inform, or to entertain.

Activy 3. Validate Information

Directions: Identify whether the statement in each item is a factual or subjective information
then explain why.

Statements Type of Information Reason

1. My crown happens to
be thick, curly, and
typically high
maintenance.

2. Living in place that

doesn’t have cold
winters is better than
living in a place that
does.
 3. Places that are close
to the equator do not
have cold winters.

4. This carpet is red.

5. Even though I don’t

like folk music, many
professional folk
musicians are
objectively skilled
players.

Why do we need to classify the information used by the author in giving reasons or evidence?

Duterte overturns task force decision to allow 10 – 14-year-olds outside

“Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte re-imposed that stay-at-home rules for 10-14-year-olds
in the entire country, overturning a unanimous decision of his pandemic task force to let the
age group outside in hopes of spurring more economic activity. “Just to be sure, and in our
desire to protect our people, napilitan akong i-reimpose ‘yung (I was forced to reimpose) 10 to
14 [year-old],” he said on Monday night, January 25, after a meeting with task force officials
in Davao City.

The President said the rule would stay until “everybody is safe by the bakuna (everybody is
safe because of the vaccine). It’s fear of the new COVID-19 variant observed in the United
Kingdom that convinced Duterte to overturn his task force’s move.”
