II. List down at least five (5) attributes/characteristics of a Filipino that you are proud of. Give a brief explanation as to why you have selected/chosen them. Characteristics Hospitality Events If there is one word that represents us Filipinos completely, it is "hospitable." We are a kind people who often go out of our way to help strangers and go out of our way to make everyone we encounter feel at ease and at home. And friendly faces add to the quaint appeal of our lovely islands. Cheerful No matter what occurs, Filipinos are usually cheerful. We're a people that are accustomed to seeing the silver lining in every scenario. Even in the midst of the most severe typhoons, Filipinos can be seen smiling and waving at the camera from the roofs of their homes while the media reports on natural catastrophes. Bayanihanspirited For decades, we've been connected with unity, also known as "bayanihan" in Filipino. Our sense of generosity and bayanihan, more than the hospitality we extend to visitors, is a product of our culture. Feasts, festivals, and fiestas are ideal occasions to demonstrate this trait, with neighbors assisting one another and opening their homes to visitors. Family – Oriented Filipinos are also known for their strong family values. We're the type of folks that would gladly go to great lengths for the sake of those we care about. Filipino parents are recognized for going above and above, sacrificing hours of hard work to ensure that their children have a better future; in response, Filipino children strive to study hard and make their parents pleased. Brave "Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers, and I will conquer the world," said American five-star general Douglas MacArthur. This is a testament to the bravery of Filipinos who, from then until now, have shown exemplary courage in the face of daunting challenges — be it as simple as defending a loved one in the face of danger or as grand as dying for the country's freedom.

Theme The theme of Noli Me Tangere seems to expose the exploitations commited by the Spanish friars and government officials. The various friars in the book were arrogant, condescending to the filipinos, and greedy. They represented the infamous behaviour of the Spanish friars in the Philippines. The brutality of other officials and authorities are also shown in the novel. It is a lot more hopeful and a little romatic than in comparison to el FIli. El Filibusterismo's theme seems to focus on how to reach a social reform and revolution. A number of chapters have long dialouges of text that seem to resemble debates, an example being chapter 7: Simoun,in which Simoun tries to convince Basillio to join the bloody revolution, almost like Darth Vader trying to convince Luke to join the dark side. This represents Rizal's fading hopes for reform against his long-held abhorrence and aversion to revolution. The book focuses on the inevitable revolution and whether the Philippines should rebel peacefully and diplomatically or violently B. Read and comprehend the message of Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. What is the relevance of this message in the present time based on the context of: Politics Religion Education The citizens should be the leaders of its governing body, and not the other way around. That strength lies in numbers of people who want to change something that is inappropriate or give voices to those who suffer injustices. Religion shall never be any means of colonization and abuse. Instead, shall bring the people together not apart. Everyone was born nothing, and thus shall everyone share the same rights because we are all humans after all. No one shall be prohibited of learning and growing one’s mind.
