UNIVERSITIES IN MANILA – UST, FEU,
PLM, UP MANILA, PNU
Built in 1611, University of Santo Tomas or UST is the country’s oldest university
and the alma mater of many of our heroes.
Far Eastern University or FEU is another popular institution of higher learning in
the country’s capital, offering quality education in the humanities and the sciences.
Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila or PLM, the first institution to offer
completely free tertiary education, is home to many board topnotchers.
UP Manila, the first UP campus in the Philippines, excels in the medical arts.
Philippine Normal University or PNU is the national teacher training institution.
 EXEMPLIFICATION
• To exemplify means to give examples.
• In our daily conversations, we often
provide examples – that is, details,
particulars, specific instances – to
explain statements that we make.
statement
The A and P was crowded today.
The cordorouy shirt I bought is poorly
made.
My son Peter is unreliable.
Examples
There were at least four carts waiting at
each of the checkout counters, and it took
me forty-five minutes to get through the
line.
When I washed it, the colors began to fade,
one button cracked and another fell off, a
shoulder seam opened, and the sleeves
shrank almost two inches.
If I depend on him to turn off a pot of
beans in ten minutes, the family is likely to
eat burned beans. If I asked him to turn
down the thermostat before he goes to bed,
the heat is likely to stay all night.
 EXEMPLIFICATION
• In each case, the examples help us see for
ourselves the truth of the statement that has
been made. In paragraphs, too, explanatory
examples help the audience fully understand
a point. Lively, specific examples also add
interest to a paper.
 Application Activity
• OPM stands for Original Pilipino Music. The term was coined to refer
to songs composed, produced, and performed by local artists. For
quite a time, OPM was able to revive Filipino music which, market-
wise, was having a tough time to compete with international records.
At present, however, foreign songs are again gaining wider popularity
than local tunes. Let us suppose that you have a friend who would
rather listen to foreign songs than to OPM. Think of five reasons why
s/he should listen to local music.
 GENERALIZATION
•WHAT IS THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF
GIVING EXAMPLES?
IMPORTANCE OF GIVING EXAMPLES:
• It is one of the effective ways to develop and clarify
ideas.
• You use examples when you fail to give the clear-cut
definition of a term.
• It may be developed in sentences, phrases, or even
single words.
• You exemplify to prove your point when taking a stand
on an issue.
