CHAPTER 1: I AM A RESPONSIBLE MEMBER OF A

FAMILY
LESSON 1: LOVE FOR TRUTH
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
a. To get a clear idea of what it means to be a person of
character.
b. To understand why it is important to always tell the truth
DISCUSSION:
Welcome! You have reached the midpoint of your school life.

As you move forward, keep in mind that the school will always ask
you to observe one important – love for the truth. Walk along that
path and you will be on the right track. Why do we need to stick to
the truth?
Before children learn how to read and write, they were
trained at home to behave properly and practice honesty. Their
training is constantly nurtured and deepened in school to prepare
the young generation how to live an honest and truthful life in the
society.
Despite the advocacy, truthfulness has suffered great
damage in our day. Daily news reports show large number of
existing problems that violate honesty and truthfulness. Example
cases: slander, libel, perjury, fraud and plunder.
Truthfulness is one of the important virtues that must taught
not only in theory but most especially in practice and personal
witnessing. It starts from being honest in saying or doing simple
things coupled with discipline and genuine concern for others.

A.Y. 2021-2022
The Virtue of Truthfulness and its Duties

1. Truthfulness in Thought
In order to attain truthfulness, a person must be truthful in his
or her thought. The duty to seek the truth is a strict obligation of all
people. With this duty corresponds the right of every person to
search for the truth, speak his or her mind, and publicize it.
One of the basic demands of truthfulness is the courage to
face up to the truth within oneself. This requires humble self-
acceptance and sincere acknowledgment of one’s limitations. It
requires the readiness for conversion wherever a person finds
himself or herself at fault.
2. Truthfulness in Conduct
A person’s action must also be true. Truthfulness in conduct
means that a person acts and lives in conformity with his or her
thoughts and words. It obliges a person to uphold the truth.
Opposed to truthfulness in a special way is hypocrisy. Truthfulness
demands an individual to be able to face up to the disagreeable
situation without evading them.
3. Truthfulness in Words
Truthfulness in words requires that whatever is stated in words
should be in harmony with the person’s internal thoughts and
knowledge. It is a demand of justice, reverence and love.
Offenses against Truth:

1. Lying – the most common direct offense against the truth.
There are many kinds, motivations, and situation of lying:
 White lies of boasting (pasiklab)
 Fear escapist lying (palusot)
 Careless lying (sabis-sabi)
 Flattery (bola)

A.Y. 2021-2022
Some lies can be of more serious nature:

 Propaganda for profit – lies told from malice to harm and
destroy the name of person and company to build a good
self-image to win and gain the favor for their own vested
interest.
 Silence – (pa simple) – this is a type of cowardice and
indifference to others to avoid trouble.
2. False Witness and Perjury- It is a lie pronounced in public,

particularly in a court of justice, wherein a person swears to tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
3. Detraction, Slander, Calumny (Paninirang Puri)
 Rash judgment – the assumption that the moral fault of a
neighbor is true even without sufficient foundation.
 Detraction – the disclosure of another’s faults and falling
without objectively valid reason.
 Calumny – making remarks that contradict the truth, harm the
reputation of others and give false judgment.
4. Gossip – spreading bad story and wrong information against the
person without any valid reason.
5. Influence of Customs and Traditions – purely inherited from the
ancestors. Like respect for the elders obliges the young to follow
and obey.
6. Product of Wrong Concept and Belief – are commonly accepted
in the society because majority is doing them.

LESSON 2: CRITICAL THINKING

a. To explain the meaning of critical thinking
b. To follow simple steps in problem solving.
c. To recognize the importance of practicing critical thinking
DISCUSSION:
How do you become a good learner? A good learner needs

to develop a set of skills to be able to maximize the time spent in
school. One of those important skills in learning is critical thinking.
Critical thinking is when you go beyond what is given as an
output. You do not just accept without thinking. It is a skill that
allows you to apply reasoning. Critical thinking allows you to
develop your problem-solving skills, not only in Math problems but
in life3 problems in general. Critical thinking skills can help you deal
with your problems. Here is a simple guide that you can use.

A.Y. 2021-2022
✓ Identify the problem. It is important to identify first what the

problem is all about. You cannot solve something you have
not identified yet. Find out the case of the problem.
✓ Explore information and create ideas. List down possible
solutions to the problem.
✓ Select the best idea. From your list, decide on what would be
the best idea to your identified problem. Why is this the best
solution?
✓ Build and test the idea. You will know if your idea is effective
only when you put it into action. Try it out. Implement the plan
you have thought of.
✓ Evaluate the result. After some time, evaluate whether the
idea was effective. Did it work for you? Did it solve the
problem?
When you apply critical thinking, you set aside your personal
feelings, beliefs, and assumptions. You star with a clean slate. You
suspend biases and judgements. You try to think out of the box and
reason objectively. It might be difficult but it has its rewards.
Critical thinking allows you to adopt to changing situations
and apply the knowledge you have accumulated. Is the not the
reason why you try to learn in school?
Do you know that you learn new things every day? Critical
thinking allows you to broaden your mind and to be open to ideas.
It keeps you from being narrow-minded, lazy, and complacent.

A.Y. 2021-2022
ACTIVITY 1: Fact or Opinion? See how well you will do in this simple
activity of critical thinking. Write F on the line if the statement is a
fact. Write O if the statement is an opinion.
_____ 1. Cheese flavor is more delicious than sour cream.
_____ 2. Values is the most difficult subject in school.
_____ 3. My telephone number is difficult to memorize.
_____ 4. The highest mountain in the world is called Everest.
_____ 5. Dogs make better pets than cats.
_____ 6. Smoking is bad for the health.
_____ 7. Eighty-five percent of all cases of lung cancer are caused

by smoking.
_____ 8. Using whitening soap is effective.
_____ 9. One out of every hundred Filipino citizens is color blind.
_____ 10. Two out of ten classmates are boring.

A.Y. 2021-2022
ACTIVITY 2: Using your critical thinking skills, propose a solution that

may solve the given situation.
Situation:
Your parents talked to you and your siblings to inform you that one
of you might have to stop going to school because of lack of funds.
You think about the situation and you try to convince your parents
that there is no need for anyone to stop schooling. How will you
convince your parents?

LESSON 3: OPEN-MINDEDNESS
a. To define and describe open-mindedness.
b. To understand the importance of being open-minded.
DISCUSSION:
Try flying the parachute when it is closed. It will definitely not

work. A parachute works best when it is open. Most things in life
work because of openness. Your parents probably made you go
through the “close open” exercise of hands when you were very
little. Little did you know that your parents were already teaching
you some values with the closing and opening of your fists. Closed
fists show selfishness or even violence. Open ones teach about
openness and generosity and the ability to receive, which is the
way to maturity from birth.
The Free Dictionary defines open-mindedness as “reception”
to new and different ideas or the opinions of others.” The Urban
Dictionary further says that “open-mindedness is when even if you
think you are right, you know that you can be wrong and are
always willing to listen to and hear on opposing or contradictory
view. Open-minded people have views but know that their views
do not have to be held by everyone. Open-minded people also
know that their views can be wrong.
Beautiful Effects of Open-Mindedness
1. It creates and equal society
Nobody will discriminate anyone and there will be mutual
respect.
2. It makes people practice humility
When you accept and recognize other people’s beliefs to be
right, it is humility.

A.Y. 2021-2022
3. It can help the Spirit of God to work in you.

When you allow the Spirit to work in you, great things can
happen to you.
You come to this world gifted with intellect and will. However,
you do not know everything. This is also why you go to school to
learn. Learning in its true sense can only happen if you keep your
mind open.
Open-mindedness means you have respect for others and
their uniqueness and giftedness. You accept other’s differences
and you recognize that there is much to learn from others.
An open mind is your gateway to better relations with others,
to development, and to harmony

A.Y. 2021-2022
ACTIVITY 1: Reflect and write down the benefits or effects when

you open the following towards being open-mindedness.
When I open These Benefits and Effects

1. Eyes
2. Ears
3. Hands
4. Heart

A.Y. 2021-2022

b. To recognize how those pressures affect the way they feel
and the kinds of choices they make.
c. To understand how pressure can make them lose perspective.
d. To learn some good ways to deal with pressures and attaint
calmness.
DISCUSSION:
Worries and anxieties are the very common problems

confronting human life. They bring fear, confusion, depression,
frustration, mental and emotional anguish, sickness, and even
death. These problems can be minimized by being calm and
peaceful at all times.
Are you someone who can keep your calm no matter what
happen the situation is? Or are you a nervous wreck yourself? You
often hear people saying” do not panic”, “keep calm”. “chill” or
“stay cool”. There is wisdom in those phrases. You have to live with
others and due to your uniqueness as a person, you sometimes
disagree with others and conflicts arise. Calmness can help you in
emergencies and conflict situations. Calmness is the mental state
of peace of mind, free from agitation, excitement, or disturbance.
It is synonymous to serenity, tranquility, or peace.
Actions to Keep Calm
1. Get rid of negative thoughts and feelings.
2. Try belly breathing to relieve stress.
3. Try to laugh
4. Do physical exercise.
5. Eat food that makes you strong and healthy; avoid caffeine and
too much sugar.
6. Pray or just be silent in a chosen place in your house.
7. Cry if you need to, but do not shout and swear.
8. Keep a journal where you can be honest with your feelings.
9. Do not take things personally.
A.Y. 2021-2022
10. Be grateful and drop the complaints.

11. Reduce noise.
Negative feelings like anger, impatience, frustration, wear out

your heart, your mind, and your family. When you keep calm, you
are able to keep a rein on your emotions, you get more things
done, you communicate better, and you lead a more productive,
purposeful, happier, and healthier life.
So, when you into a tight fix and you are about to lose control,
remember to choose your battles, prioritize, exercise, listen to
music, eat healthy, sleep early, or write a journal. There are so many
things that you can do to counter panic and undesirable unhappy
thoughts and situations.
Do not dwell too much on the negative. Think about happy
thought and memories. Be more confident about your ability to
handle confident about your ability to handle difficult situations
and needless to say, ask for guidance in prayer.
The Serenity Prayer

by Reinhold Niebuhr
God grant me the sincerity

to accept the things, I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;

enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to
peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is; not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right if I
surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen.

fortitude.
DISCUSSION:
When you were younger, were you scared of many little

things like going to the bathroom on your own, taking your
medicine, getting a vaccine, riding a bike, or walking down the
street on your own?
As you grow older, you begin to overcome some of your
fears. These are somehow replaced by other fears. But notice also
that as you grow older, you become braver and bolder. As you go
through life each day, there will be more and more things that you
would need to overcome.
Here are situations that you might have encountered:
✓ It was your first time to cross the street.
✓ You are shy but were chosen to be the representative of your
class to a speech contest.
✓ Your tooth was giving headaches so it was decided that you
should go visit your dentist to have the tooth extracted.
✓ Your classmate was being bullied but you stood in his
defense.
What made you decide to do these things despite your fears
and the possible hardships that you will be facing? This is what we
call Fortitude.

A.Y. 2021-2022
Courage and Fortitude

Courage is about
prioritizing your loves and
fears. You will have enough
strength to brave even the
most difficult of decisions
when it is clear to you what is
important to you. You will
stand up and fight for what
you love the most. Loving will
give you the confidence to
be brave in the midst of
hardships.
Fortitude is one of the four

cardinal virtues along with justice,
prudence, and temperance. It
allows you to not be afraid and to
have a firm will in the face of
difficulties and obstacles, but
remember that to be brave is not
to be reckless. Since it is a virtue,
it is well thought out and is done
constantly. It is courage in the
face of danger, loss, poverty,
failure, abandonment, and other
challenges. It is the strength to go
on living despite the odds. It allows you to the right thing even in
the midst of difficulties.

CHAPTER 2: I AM A RESPONSIBLE MEMBER OF

SOCIETY
LESSON 6: RESPECT
a. To explain the meaning of respecting others.
b. To explore how to respect other people’s beliefs and opinions.
DISCUSSION:
If you had been keenly observing what is shown on TV or in

movies, you would probably have noticed how the Japanese,
Thais, Chinese and Koreans bow to people they meet, or how
Filipinos get the blessing of elders by saying “mano po” and kissing
their hands, saying po, opo, ho, oho when addressing others. What
you have observed are gestures showing respect.
Respect pertains to
giving honor to or
consideration of others
through one’s words,
gestures and actions.
Respect is accorded not only
to people, but also to objects
and the environment. It is
universal, meaning people of
different races, religions and
nationalities subscribe to it is
very basic to establish smooth and harmonious relationships.
Respect is something that you ought to accord others.
“Others” would include your friends, peers, teachers, parents, and
in general, each and every individual you encounter every single
day.

A.Y. 2021-2022
Respect for others could be shown in something as basic as

adding a “Ma’am” or “Sir” to the end of a sentence; using “May I”
when asking permission; or simply listening to and obeying your
teachers. It is accepting another person’s ideas and affirming the
person.

society. Your role is important for if
done right, it can make a whole lot
difference to your society’s well-
being.
Responsibility is a key element
in the realization of harmonious
living in a society. A society will not
flourish if responsibilities are
neglected. Each and every responsible member must take care to
fulfill his or her duties and tasks.
To be responsible means to be answerable or accountable
for your actions and decisions. When no one is responsible, he or
she becomes honorable, trustworthy, and dependable.
TIPS ON HOW TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE AS A STUDENT

2. Prioritize.
3. Include an accompanying list of what is needed for each task so
you do not waste time, energy and resources.

action in case the original plan is not possible.
OTHERS WAYS OF BEING RESPONSIBLE

1. Stand up for what is right.
2. Admit and correct mistakes.
3. Repair damages done.
4. Help others in need.
5. Assume responsibility.
Optimism or a positive attitude should go side by side with

being responsible. The results are wonderful when you look at and
approach any task-big or small- with positivity and responsibility.

A.Y. 2021-2022
ACTIVITY 1: Encircle the numbers that shows being responsible and

box those that does not.
1. I do my tasks as a student, son/daughter, and sibling as best as

I can, without being prompted.
2. When leaving our house, I see to it that everything is unplugged:

faucets, lights, fans, and the air-con is off, the windows closed and
the doors locked.
3. I make sure that the lights, fans, and air-con are turned off
whenever the class leavers the classroom if I am the one in-
charged. If not, I’ll just let them be.
4. I do not admit my mistakes and do not try to make amends for

the ones I have committed.
5. I return the parental reply slips on time.
6. I do my homework after I play computer games.
7. I prepare my school things before I go to sleep.
8. I do come to meetings and appointment on time because I do

LESSON 8: CONCERN FOR OTHERS

a. To realize the importance of showing concern to others.
b. To discover that they can actually do something for others.
c. To identify ways of showing concern to those in the
community.
DISCUSSION:
Do you remember the little lessons your parents or your
kindergarten teacher told you when you were still a little child? You
were often reminded to share, to not hurt other children, to be
mindful not to waste your food because others have nothing to
eat, and simply be sensitive to the
needs of others. Concern for
others never goes of style. It is a
value which will help you maintain
and sustain good interpersonal
relationships.
Concern for others means to
care about what is happening to
others, to take interest in their
situation or predicament. It
involves awareness. This
awareness should flow into action
to help others and, if possibly
make the other person rise from his misery or difficult situation. To
have concern for other’s is to look out for the welfare or well-being
of others. For example, if you entered your classroom and you saw
a looking so distressed, concern would move you to approach that
classmates and gently ask him or her what is bothering him or her.
If you want to taker step further, you could ask him or her if there is
anything you could do to help. Concern would also move you to
offer help to a younger sibling who is having a hard time with his or
her studies.

A.Y. 2021-2022
HERE ARE WAYS HOW YOU CAN SHOW CONCERN FOR OTHERS
1. Be aware. Look around you and see if there is someone in need
or a classmate who looks sad and may need someone to listen to
him or her.
2. Take responsibility. Do not be the source of stress of your parents
or teachers because you are not doing your tasks. Be someone
who is pleasant and does not cause irritation because you are not
doing your job.
3. Take a chance. In some cases, people will not volunteer to ask
for help. Ask people if they need help or assistance. They might just
be waiting for someone to approach them.
4. Take the initiative. Help around the house even if your mother is
not asking you to do household chores. Offer to carry things for a
teacher or relative. Give your seat to an elderly person, pregnant
woman, or a mother with a little child.
5. Be supportive. Encourage shy classmates to speak in front or
during recitation by listening attentively and refrain from teasing or
making side comments. Tell your younger sister or brother if he or
she is good at something and offer suggestions for improvement.

A.Y. 2021-2022
ACTIVITY 1: Concern into Action. What would you do or say under

the following situation. Write your answers on the lines.
1. Your closest cousin is very sad because his parents went abroad
to work as OFWs.

We see different types of people in our society. Some are
lucky for having abundant blessings they enjoy in life. Others are
just contented living simple lifestyle and a large number try hard to
survive. Another type is the unfortunate less privileged group living
in horrible conditions. They are the poor, the oppressed,
abandoned, the sick and the
outcast.
Compassion is a sympathetic
pity and concern for the sufferings
or misfortunes of others coupled
with the wish to relieve it.
A compassionate person
would do such things like visiting
the sick, listening to someone
who’s heartbroken or troubled, or
a lending hand to someone who
feels helpless. A person of compassion is someone who anyone
can go to or rely on especially during moments when one feels low.
One is blessed to have a friend who does not run out of
compassion.
TIPS TO DEVELOP A COMPASSIONATE SPIRIT
1. Begin by opening your senses to what is happening around you.
2. Notice if someone seems to be lonely, troubled, or not feeling
well.
3. Empathize or put yourself in the shoes of that person and ask
yourself how you would feel in the same situation.

4. Ask yourself: “What kind of help would I need in this situation?”

5. Approach the person and ask if you could help. Offer help to him
or her.
EFFECTS OF COMPASSIONATE ACTS

 They nurture better communication with others because of a
more optimistic and supportive attitude.
 They help make better friends because when you feel for
others, you become less vindictive.
 They make people less susceptible to loneliness; thus, suffering
less stress.
 They activate pleasure circuits in the brain, which allows us to
treat others in a kind and loving manner.
 They reduce risks of heart disease because compassionate
people do not worry too much about themselves; thus, they
are happier.
As you grow older, there will be more experiences and events

that will allow you the opportunity to grow in compassion. Step into
the shoes of others. Love others as you would love yourself. Feel the
pain. Compassion may be costly and painful because you will be
giving of yourself, not just your resources. But the rewards are
priceless. It will make you feel more alive and more human. You will
feel that you have made a difference in someone’s life. Just
imagine how you would feel if someone goes out of her way to join
you in your pain and struggles. That will make the pain bearable
because it is shared.

LESSON 10: CHARITY

a. To gain a deeper understanding of charity.
b. To identify acts of charity.
DISCUSSION:
How do you think other people would feel when you help
them or when you give something to them? How would you feel if
you were in their place?
Charity comes from
the Latin word caritas.
According to Saint Thomas
Aquinas, charity is “the
friendship of man for God,”
which “unites us to God.” He
said that it is “the most
excellent of the virtues.” He
also believed that habit of
charity extends not only to
love of God, but also to the
love of neighbor.” Charity
begins with the act of giving.
It could be the giving of
resources like food, toys, clothes, and other material gifts. More
than that charity is a giving of time and energy. What you have you
given in the name of charity? Where do you learn charitable?
You often the phrase “Charity begins at home.” Where else
can you first learn acts of charity except in your own homes?
Charity is a joyful sharing of blessing, time, and talents to
someone in need without expecting anything in return. It entails
self-giving for the service of others. It is characterized by selfishness
and sacrifice. You show that you are willing to do something for the
another person’s well-being.
