Opening the statements about their insights about when to speak up in different

situations .

sa tingin ko kasi the right time to speak is not really depends only on the situation, but rather the
right time to speak is anytime. Kasi As long as you don’t degrade anyone else, and you don’t
overstep any boundaries and syempre you’re respectful towards the person you are talking to or
like sharing an opinion with. kasi nga syempre dapat hindi ka natatakot na magsalita lalo nat
kailangan mo at alam mong tama yung sides mo diba. Kasi To speak is your right and no one
can take that away from you.

1. As a Filipino youth, how are you going to express your opinion to elders without
making them feel that they are disrespected?

Syempre ako na to e and As a Filipino youth, sa tingin ko that the only way to express my
opinion to older people without making them feel disrespected is syempre kausapin mo ng
mahinahon, hindi yung mag eexpress ka ng mga opinion mo or thoughts mo like kunwari kapag
pinagsasabihan ka ng parents mo tas tatanungin ka na oh bat ka na naman gabi umuwi, siguro
kasama mona naman mga barkada, diba sabi ko sayo umuwi ka ng alas otso e anong oras na?!

Diba so para masagot mo siya in a nice way hindi yung basta gegyera ka na lang din na anong
barkada pinagsasabi mo jan? kita ng gumawa nga kami ng assignments. Nangigil ako sa inyo
Uy, Parang di nag grade 2 go! Be ano baka natampal ka na nung nanay mo sa pagganyan mo be.
Diba minsan kasi hindi natin macontrol yung galit natin kasi alam mo kapag sobrang galit na
galit na tayo mas pinangungunahan kasi tayo ng ating emotions kumbaga kaya may mga times
talaga na nasasagot natin yung parents natin. But u know when we are sharing our opinion to
them where not just sharing, dapat alam mo yung sinasabi mo at hindi ka lang basta bitaw ng
bitaw ng masasakit na salita kasi duon nila mafefeel na hindi sila nirerespeto ng anak nila. They
think na ay itong anak ko magaling ng sumagot masyadong bastos sa magulang. And sila na
bilang magulang natin yun yung mafeel nila e and I know na napakasakit sa isang magulang na
bastusin at sagot sagotin na lang ng kanyang anak. Kasi kahit na anong mangyari magulang parin
natin sila. At tatandaan mona when your parents are speaking, at kapag alam mong
pinagsasabihan ka na dahil para naman yun sa ikabubuti mo, makinig ka sa magulang mo,
makinig ka ng mabuti sa sasabihin nila. Like Ipakita mona vinavalue mo yung opinion nila that’s
why sometimes na pagsasabihan ka and u are willing to consider their point of view, especially
na we’re from a different generation. I think that they will better understand my opinion with the
right words and explanation.

1. Would you still communicate your thoughts to someone older than you even if you
felt that it might be offensive to them?
Ako hindi e hindi kasi ako vocal na tao, tsaka advanced kasi ako mag isip like parang nasa isip
ko na agad nab aka kapag itinuloy ko pa yung convo ko with him or her baka ma offend siya sa
sasabihin ko kaya ayun di ko na lang sasabihin, like iclose ko na lang mouth ko. Ganun! I’d
rather keep it to myself than to argue with them.

2. Given the chance that each and every one of us has the freedom of speech, why is it
important to observe our limitations and not take advantage of them?

Ako sa tingin ko na It’s important to observe our limitations and we should not ano kasi, not
take advantage of our freedom of speech to not hurt anyone. Kasi minsan alam mo yung
bunganga natin walang preno din e very garalgal din magsalita to the point minsan diba kapag
magsheshare din naan kaya ng opinion yung isang tao wala naming kakwenta kwenta yung
sinasabi niya yun yung nakaka inis e akala mo ang perpekto pero daig pa sa kulay ng uling ang
budhi naman. Jusko dzaii! Kapag alam mong kasing itim naman ng uling ang budhi mo e tumigil
ka na e kung karapat dapat kaba naming talagang luhuran at pagsilbihan baka dapat dun ako
mag take advantage sayo. Pero pag ganyan e wag na tama ka na, masyado ka ng pabida
manahimik ka na lang, tapos! e kasi alam mo We have a responsibility to use our words in a way
that is truthful, ethical, and syempre walang ako ethical (charot lang) and constructive. Hindi na
e ano kailangan ko pang igrammarly para tama yung pagcontruct ng sasabihin. No, I cannot .
pero I just realized that We should avoid spreading false information or hateful messages that
can cause harm to others. And ng maiwasan yung minunderstanding towards to each other and
mots importantly avoid getting caught up by your pride or by my pride. Pero hindi rin kapag
alam mong kapride pride naman talaga e why not diba? Tsaka masama ugali ko patago nga laang
Chariz lang!

And I know naman that our freedom of speech, when we have the right to speak, is a
fundamental right, it always come with certain limitations that are necessary to protect the rights
of others and maintain social order. Mahalagang maobsebahan mo yung mga limitasyon and
gamitin yung kakayahan mong makapagsalita yung rights mon a makapagsalita pero in a
responsible and respectful way.

3. Can you share any personal experiences where you felt your freedom of speech was
threatened or violated, and what you learned from that experience?

Ahmm yang kapag during an argument sa aking magulang. Well mahirap because sometimes I
feel like my emotions and thoughts are not being heard or respected. Hindi rin kasi ako
marunong magsabi ng mga opinion ko when it comes na kapag kina kausap ko yung nanay ko
kasi nga mabilis akong maiyak, emotional akong tao. Ewan ko ba kung pwede na ako maging
artista kasi syempre kapag napapagsabihan lang edi dadamdamin ko tas maiiyak na ako ganun,
char! Pero yun I’ll keep it myself na lang kasi mas nauuna pa yung iyak ko kesa pagsasabi ng
aking nararamdaman e. but u know what I learned, that I have the right to express myself na
hindi dapat ako matakot na sabihin yung gusto kong sabihin at nararamdaman sa kanya and I
have the responsibility to communicate in a way that is respectful and in a good manner. Kasi
possible that during the argument, possible na mangyari at minsan hindi maiwasan kasi mas
pinangunahan na ako ng aking galit like Yung nanay ko pwede ko siyang masaktan or
mabuntunan ng galit or I can even attacked her by the way I expressed my emotions. But syemre
bilang anak niya at ako nato I can start by sharing how I feel, and then giving my mother a
chance to respond and share her perspective. Kasi alam mo kapag nagkaka intindihan kayo ng
maayos ng nanay mo at ikaw . the relationship between u and her , diba sobrang ganda tignan
like go with the flow lang.

4. When should we remain calm and listen to the stories of each side before speaking?

Syempre kapag alam mo naman na may sasabihin muna siya u should listen to her first. Hindi
yung nagkekwento na siya ng mga thoughts oropinions niiya tas di ka agad agree alangan naman
sisingit singit ka na kesyo ganto ganiyan e diba parang nakakabastos naman yun. Dapat kapag
alam mong hindi ka satisfied sa sinasabi niya tapos kapag tapos na siya magsalita then dun ka na
pwedeng magsabi ng mga gusto mong sabihin na saloobin mo. Kasi if ever na pinakinggan niyo
yung sides niyo pareho well u can gain deeper understanding of that issue, including ur concerns
and perspective. Kasi kapag alam mong mahinahon ka at nakikinig ka sa side na sinasabi niya
well u can help de escalate the situation and it means na yung mga taong nakapaligid sayo at
yung taong nakikinig sayo they may felth na naunawaan at naintindihan ka nila. Kasi syempre
makaktulong rin na maiwasan yung mga maling assumptions about sayo. Kasi madami ganyan e
yung mas mapapansin pa yung mga kamalian mo kesa sa mga nagawa mong tama.

5. How can you maintain your emotions during a heated argument and choose the
right time to speak after a fight?

Madalas hindi ko talaga mamentain yung emotions ko, pero dapat kalma ka lang, pero minsan
talaga hindi rin makakalma kapag alam mong nakakainis na, yung tipong namumuro na at
syempre ikaw naman na may good manner, eme ayaw ko naman makasakit ng damdamin ng
ibang tao. Well, sa tingin ko magpakatotoo ka lang, so paano ba magpakatotoo pagkatalikod
daming sinasabi tas pagkaharap bait baitan ganun ba, yun if gusto mong iexpress yung mga
sasbaihin mo sabihin mo lang hindi yung sa iba mo pa sasabihin edi lalo na kayong nag gyera
niyan mas lalong di na kayo nag kainitndihan. Pero alam mo if we want na imaintain yung
emotions natin during that heated arguments yung pasensiya talaga lalabanan mo. Yung patience
mo mismo. Kasi paano kapag yung kausap mo ayaw magpatalo diba, talaga inilalaban niya yung
side niya pero mali naman siya at feel niya na tama talaga siya. At ikaw forda kalma lang ang
fersons, mapeprevent mo yung arguments niyong dalawa. Wala kalma ka lang hayaan mo siya
ma stress. Char basta yun wait until you and her have had time to cool off and approach the
situation calmly and rationally.

6. How can we encourage others to speak up at the right time in different situations
where some may feel hesitant or intimidated to do so?

Ahmm yang kapag during an argument sa aking magulang. Well mahirap because sometimes I
feel like my emotions and thoughts are not being heard or respected. Hindi rin kasi ako
marunong magsabi ng mga opinion ko when it comes na kapag kina kausap ko yung nanay ko
kasi nga mabilis akong maiyak, emotional akong tao. Ewan ko ba kung pwede na ako maging
artista kasi syempre kapag napapagsabihan lang edi dadamdamin ko tas maiiyak na ako ganun,
char!
Pero yun I’ll keep it myself na lang kasi mas nauuna pa yung iyak ko kesa pagsasabi ng aking
nararamdaman e. but u know what I learned, that I have the right to express myself na hindi
dapat ako matakot na sabihin yung gusto kong sabihin at nararamdaman sa kanya and I have the
responsibility to communicate in a way that is respectful and in a good manner. Kasi possible
that during the argument, possible na mangyari at minsan hindi maiwasan kasi mas
pinangunahan na ako ng aking galit like Yung nanay ko pwede ko siyang masaktan or
mabuntunan ng galit or I can even attacked her by the way I expressed my emotions. But syemre
bilang anak niya at ako nato. by sharing how I feel, and then giving my mother a chance to
respond and share her perspective. Para walang sabungan na mangyari diba.
