A JUNE 12 THOUGHT: RESPECT FLAG RITES
A flag ceremony, wherever it be a flag raising or a flag retreat is sacred. Therefore, it should be
observed with all the solemnity and sacredness a Filipino citizen can muster.
The National Anthem (Pambansang awit), like the national flag, should be treated with ceremonial
respect. On this anniversary of the declaration of Independence in Kawit in 1898, it is perhaps timely to
remind all and to behave during flag ceremonies.
Sad to say, many students during the Monday morning flag raising ceremonies, instead of standing at
attention while singing the National Anthem, and while reciting the Patriotic Fledge (Panatang Makabayan),
move around play and have completely disregarding what is going on.
It is for this reasons that we are calling the attention of all teachers, especially the social studies
teachers to give more emphasis on teaching values, love of country, respect for the flag, veneration of
heroes, and proper behavior during flag ceremonies. If flag ceremonies cannot be held properly, why
then do we hold them at all.
Similar to stories, an editorial has also title to give hint to readers what its content is and an author,
the one who write it. There are instances that an editorial article has no title, and the author is not mentioned.
The paragraph inside the rectangle presents the introduction of the editorial where you can write the
explanation of the topic or issue. Those paragraphs with underline give you the body of the editorial where
you can present your opposition, pull in other facts, give your stand regarding the issue by supporting it with
reasons from strong to strongest order. The paragraph inside an oval gives the conclusion where you can
express solutions to the problem. You can persuade or challenge the reader to be informed on this part.
C. MODELLING
An editorial is an article that presents the newspaper's opinion on an issue. It reflects the majority vote
of the editorial board, the governing body of the newspaper made up of editors and business managers. It is
usually unsigned. Much in the same manner of a lawyer, editorial writers build on an argument and try to
persuade readers to think the same way they do. Editorials are meant to influence public opinion, promote
critical thinking, and sometimes cause people to take action on an issue. In essence, an editorial is an
opinionated news story.
1. Explain or interpret: Editors often use these editorials to explain the way the newspaper covered a
sensitive or controversial subject. School newspapers may explain new school rules or a particular
student-body effort like a food drive.
2. Criticize: These editorials constructively criticize actions, decisions or situations while providing
solutions to the problem identified. Immediate purpose is to get readers to see the problem, not the
solution.
3. Persuade: Editorials of persuasion aim to immediately see the solution, not the problem. From the
first paragraph, readers will be encouraged to take a specific, positive action. Political endorsements
are good examples of editorials of persuasion.
4. Praise: These editorials commend people and organizations for something done well. They are not as
common as the other three.

Attitude Towards Study
We are in school because we want to learn. Our study is for our own benefit and not to accommodate
someone else. As such we have to relate it to our own aims or ambitions in life.
We should not think of study merely in terms of quizzes, recitations, homework, term papers and reports.
Putting a valuation upon it in terms of five, ten or twenty years from now will give it more meaning to us.
The facts, ideas, and principles we acquire now are the stuff with which we will do our thinking in the
future.
Let’s remember, too, that how we learn is sometimes more important than what we learn. An efficient
working method will serve us throughout life, but many of the things we learn will just be forgotten. Being
systematic about study will do a lot. Habit then comes to our aid.
With just a few weeks to go before classes end, we hope these few reminders will result to a better
attitude towards study.
