RIGHT INSTINCTS
Other cases to be reviewed by the new committee will be the death
sentence of the rapist whose victims have forgiven him.
This study was apparently prompted by the recent execution of Eduardo
Agbayani, who was convicted of raping his own daughters. On the eve of his
execution, his victims announced that they had already forgiven him and
pleaded his life be spared. They had suffered enough and they didn’t want
their father’s death to weigh on their conscience they said.
The study will obviously be too late to save Agbayani. While Mr. Estrada
wanted to give him reprieve, the order to stop the execution could not be
relayed on time because the phone in the execution chamber wasn’t working.
But such cases certainly merit some serious thought for reasons brought out
dramatically by the appeal of the Agbayani sisters. The sisters were saying
in effect that after the trauma of the rape, they don’t want to be victimized a
second time by being haunted by the guilt feelings about their father’s death.
This raises the questions of whether it is fair for the state to impose its own
brand of justice? If it insists on carrying out the extreme penalty, the
probability is high that many victims will simply hide the crime rather than
feel responsible for their abuser’s death, particularly if he happens to be a
brother, a father, or a grandfather.
In this issue, Mr. Estrada’s instincts are pointing him in the right direction.
Perhaps he should trust them even more than the advice of his committee,
whose members lean toward a strict application of the law rather than a more
liberal exercise of clemency.
-Philippine Daily Inquirer,
14/209 (7 July 1999)

What is It
Reading for details is the easiest skill to learn and the most utilized
information gathering technique by students like you. It is a practice of
reading information from another source. When you note details in gathering
information, you often prove a point, find specific details and even solve a
problem. This skill also enables us to distinguish significant details. Moreover,
gathering information by noting details is a great help not only for academic
purposes but also when you need urgent information in relation to everyday
life requirements.
The methods that you can use to effectively note details for information are
Cornell Method, outlining method and mind mapping.
I. The Cornell method is used by dividing the paper in two columns. The
first column is used to enter key or cue words while the second is the notes
column for recording ideas and facts. (No citation)
Additional Information
The CORNELL METHOD OF NOTE TAKING
7
• The column on the right is used for lecture or text notes
o Record your notes during the lecture as you normally would, and
review after the class to add in any missed information
• The column on the left is the “cue” column
o Record questions here based on the main ideas in the lecture notes
o Test your understanding by covering the lecture notes and
answering the questions in the cue column
• The bottom section is used for a summary of the notes on that page

Example:
Electrons are tiny particles that revolve around the nucleus or center of
atoms. Each electron carries a very small charge of negative electricity. An
electric current is a flow of electrons moving from one place to another.
Electrons always flow from high negative pressure areas to areas of lower
negative pressures. They do not always need to flow along the wire but may
jump across a gap if the pressure difference is high enough.
Column 1 Column 2

Outlining Method organizes information into main topic and sub topic
through numbers, roman numerals and letters.
Some suggested ways in outlining:
1. Use only one form of outline, either number letter sequence or decimal
sequence.
Number letter Sequence: Decimal Sequence:
I. Food 1. Choose desired college university

machines.
A. He can build a model airplane.
B. He can repair an automobile motor.
C. He can put it together again.
D. He can repair a tractor.
Note: The topic which is inappropriately ranked is letter C, which should
belong as a subtopic under B. A, B, and D belong under the category of
different machines mentioned in the main topic.
Correct:
I. My young brother has a self-acquired knowledge on different
machines.
A. He can build a model airplane.
B. He can repair an automobile motor.
1. He can put it together again.
2. He has worked on different automobile motors so far.

Mind Mapping Method is the method to see the main idea and how
information related to one another. This method uses diagram to represent
words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged radially around a
central key word.

containment closes, health ministers are scrambling to implement appropriate
measures to delay the spread of the virus. But their actions have
been slow and insufficient. There is now real danger that countries have done
too little, too late to contain the epidemic.

Computer viruses are scary. If an attacker gets control of your computer, they
can snoop through your files, steal your sensitive information, and even use
your computer’s webcam and microphone to spy on you. But just because
there are scary things on the Internet, doesn’t mean that we should stay off of
the Internet. Instead, practice safe habits such as installing virus protection.
Virus protection will not protect you against all attacks, but it may stop the
most common ones. It also helps to keep your software up to date. Software
updates close security holes. By installing updates from software providers,
you will have a stronger system. Perhaps the most important thing that you
can do is to be smart about how you browse. Don’t click on suspicious links
and don’t open attached files unless you are expecting them. The Internet can
be a dangerous place, but you’ll be safer if you take a few precautions. Happy
browsing!

Buying a computer can be a frightening and overwhelming task, but
don't let that prevent you from getting the right one. The first thing that
you have to do is figure out which one you want. Start by researching on
the internet: read reviews and compare features. Decide what's important
to you and how much you are willing to pay. Once you have found the right
computer, it is time to compare prices. Search by the model number of the
computer. Check prices from at least three websites before you make your
purchase, and don't forget to factor in the cost of shipping and handling.
Also Google the name of the website on which you are planning to buy the
computer and read reviews to make sure that they are reputable before
placing your order. If it looks good, enter your information, await your
shipment, and enjoy your new computer!

“He is absorbing it very well. This is my brother who is deaf and mute.
Please watch until the end,” Xandra Lee P. Alberto, the owner of the TikTok
account, captioned her post along with the hashtags #permissiontodance,
#bts_official_bighit and #btsarmy.
One TikTok user, Ember Parpa, who is a deaf rights advocate, noticed
Alberto’s video and left a comment about her interpretation of Richmond’s
hand gestures.
“He said, ‘They are talking about dance. I like BTS more. It’s good that they
included (he signed tagged). They [are] always good in dancing, I observed,”
Parpa wrote.
The video, which was noticed by ARMYs, has already earned over 68,500
likes, 1,344 comments and 748 shares on TikTok as of this writing. It was
also shared by BTS’ local fan base, ARMY Cavite, on its Facebook account
on Monday, July 12.
“He’s a lowkey fan of BTS. As for me, I just started being a fan last March,
while my daughter, as well as my niece, has been an ARMY since 2018.
The three of us are really diehard fans,” Alberto added.
Alberto also said she could not determine when exactly her brother became
a fan of BTS since he often watches the group’s music videos due to the
poor internet connection in their province. However, she said Richard loves
the group’s songs “Dynamite” and “Butter” as he is fond of dancing.
When further asked what his brother’s reaction was after watching BTS’
new song’s music video, Alberto said: “He is very thankful and he told my
mom that the BTS is thoughtful for adding sign language to their
choreography in ‘Permission to Dance.’”
For Alberto, she was really a proud ARMY fan because BTS is “not just an
idol but a great example to the youth.”
15
Of the four siblings in their family, Alberto said that two of them have
disabilities. One is her brother Richmond and the other is their youngest
sibling adopted by their parents, who went blind in one eye due to an
accident.
Meanwhile, Alberto said her brother has been practicing the group’s dance
steps. She intends to post another video of Richard’s performance once it
is sent to her. Further, she hopes that BTS will get to see her brother’s
video, and she won’t mind if the video does not elicit any reaction or
comment from the group.
BTS’ ‘Permission to Dance’
The phenomenal septet superstars’ third all-English language track
“Permission to Dance” was released last July 9 to celebrate the eighth
anniversary of their global fandom known as ARMY, which is an acronym
for “Adorable Representative MC for Youth.”

What I Can Do
Not all bugs slither and crawl. A bug can also be an error in a computer
program. When a computer tries to read a program with a bug in it, the
bug will affect the computer in one of two ways: the computer may process
the error and continue running the program. In this case the bug only has
a small effect on the computer; however, if the computer cannot process
the error, then the bug will cause the computer to freeze and crash. This
will require the user to restart the program or the computer. Bugs are
pesky to computer programmers and users.
Viruses can mess up computers and make them run slowly. If you’ve
ever gotten a virus on your computer, you may have wondered why
someone would go through all of that trouble just to ruin your computer.
There are two reasons why people spread viruses: money and power. If
someone infects your computer with a virus, they can make money by
stealing your sensitive information and selling it to identity thieves. Or,
they can gain power by using your computer to attack other computers
and websites to take them offline. Your computer makes an attractive
target to cybercriminals because they can use it to gain money and power.

Gather and Locate Required
Information
What’s In
In the present-day society, there is a great and urgent need for access
and availability of accurate information because it is an aid in decision
making, policy making or simply increasing the knowledge of the information
recipient. Thus, noting details plays crucial part in gathering truthful
information for everyday life usage.
You can gather information from news reports, speeches, informative talks,
panel discussions and many other more. You can note details using the
Cornell method wherein as you listen to the informative talks you divide the
paper in two columns. The first column is used to enter key or cue words
while the second is the notes column for recording ideas and facts. The
Outlining Method organizes information into main topic and sub topic by
using numbers, roman numerals and letters. Mind Mapping Method is the
method to see the “big picture” and how information relates to one another.
This method uses diagram which represents words, ideas, tasks or other
items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word.

Read the panel discussion script and get ready to answer the
questions on special details.
by Tyler Jacobson
Our children are under a great deal of stress, more so than past
generations. Recent research has shown that their pressures are equal to
that of adults. But teenagers don’t have the brain development, self-care
knowledge, emotional maturity or experience to deal with it in nearly as
effective a way as adults do.
That may explain why depression seems to be on the rise in children and
teens. With suicide being the second leading cause of death in young people,
it is critical that we do something.
As adults, parents, teachers and others who are involved in the lives of
our children, it is our job to help end this harmful epidemic. However, we
can’t be there 24-hours a day. We can’t protect our children from every hurt
feeling or confront bullies when they appear.

5. Why do teenagers feel real threat of depression and anxiety when being
bullied?
a. because of their brain development and emotional maturity to
deal with the problem
b. because children are really weak both inside and out

d. because bullying is deadly
6. Who can help children from bullying?
a. everybody involved in c. counselors only
the children’s lives d. themselves

What is It
Use your hands when scanning because using your hand or finger is
extremely helpful in focusing your attention and keeping your place while
scanning a column of material. Moreover, use your peripheral vision when
scanning. When your hand moves down a list of names, you see not only the
name your finger is pointing to, but also the names above and below. Let your
eyes work for you when searching for information.

his wife but even before the physician arrived, both Maria and their child
were not able to survive.
8) Devastated and torn with the death of his wife and child, Don
Mariano decided to build a house for his children who are yet married; this

1Few of us realize that a vast amount of information has been gathered
about our feathered friends, the birds. 2Birds are very valuable because they
destroy insects that are harmful to agriculture, because they feed on the
seeds of weeds, and because some of them eat mice on the farmers’ crops. 3A
Scarlet tanager has been known to eat six hundred thirty caterpillars in
eighteen minutes, and one nighthawk which was killed had recently eaten
sixty grasshoppers and five hundred mosquitoes. 4We can estimate the vast
quantity of insects that birds consume when we know that a pair of
chickadees were found to feed their young forty times in thirty minutes.
