10. Our Mother Tongue (A poem originally in Tagalog written by Rizal when he was only eight years old) IF truly a people dearly love The tongue to them by Heaven sent, They'll surely yearn for liberty Like a bird above in the firmament. BECAUSE by its language one can judge A town, a barrio, and kingdom; And like any other created thing Every human being loves his freedom. ONE who doesn't love his native tongue, Is worse than putrid fish and beast; AND like a truly precious thing It therefore deserves to be cherished. THE Tagalog language's akin to Latin, To English, Spanish, angelical tongue; For God who knows how to look after us This language He bestowed us upon. AS others, our language is the same With alphabet and letters of its own, It was lost because a storm did destroy On the lake the bangka 1 in years bygone. LANGUAGE OF LITERATURE

11. Once upon a time, there lived a shepherd boy who was bored watching his flock of sheep on the hill. To amuse himself, he shouted, “Wolf! Wolf! The sheep are being chased by the wolf!” The villagers came running to help the boy and save the sheep. They found nothing and the boy just laughed looking at their angry faces. “Don’t cry ‘wolf’ when there’s no wolf boy!”, they said angrily and left. The boy just laughed at them. After a while, he got bored and cried ‘wolf!’ again, fooling the villagers a second time. The angry villagers warned the boy a second time and left. The boy continued watching the flock. After a while, he saw a real wolf and cried loudly, “Wolf! Please help! The wolf is chasing the sheep. Help!” But this time, no one turned up to help. By evening, when the boy didn’t return home, the villagers wondered what happened to him and went up to the hill. The boy sat on the hill weeping. “Why didn’t you come when I called out that there was a wolf?” he asked angrily. “The flock is scattered now”, he said. An old villager approached him and said, “ People won’t believe liars even when they tell the truth. We’ll look for your sheep tomorrow morning. Let’s go home now”. LANGUAGE OF LITERATURE

12. President Duterte approves limited face-to-face classes in low-risk areas starting 2021 As several local government units and private schools are requesting to hold limited face-to-face classes in low-risk areas, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on Tuesday approved its conduct starting next year. This development came after the Department of Education ( DepEd ) received queries from local chief executives, legislators, private and international schools, and other education stakeholders on the possibility of conducting limited face- toface classes in areas where it is deemed safe to do so by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) and the Department of Health (DOH). Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones noted that limited face-to-face classes will ONLY be allowed upon the request of the LGU and school concerned and can only happen January 2021 under conditions set by the DOH, DepEd and IATF. Moreover, it can only be considered in low-risk areas or in areas at least under Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) or in the transition phase between GCQ and the New Normal. The Education chief emphasized that decisions to allow limited, localized faceto -face classes will be made with due coordination between DepEd , the LGUs concerned, and the local health authorities LANGUAGE OF JOURNALISM

17. Death occurred from the effects of asphyxia, cerebral anemia, and shock. The victim’s hair was used for the constriction ligature. Local marks of the ligature were readily discernible: there were some abrasion and a slight ecchymosis in the skin. But I found no obvious lesion in the blood vessels of the neck. Cyanosis of the head was very slight and there were no pronounced hemorrhages in the galea of the scalp. I should judge that very great compression was effected almost immediately, with compression of the arteries as well as of the vein, and that the superior laryngeal nerve was traumatized in the effect of throwing the victim into profound shock… The lungs revealed cyanosis, congestion, over aeration, and sub pleural petechial hemorrhages .
