Phillipines: Church warns against ‘holy alcohol’ for COVID-19

Churchgoers in the Philippines have been urged not to fall for products
advertised as being ‘holy’ to protect themselves from COVID-19. Besides alcohol,
church leaders said there’s no such thing as a holy face mask

The Catholic church in the Philippines warned against buying alcohol and other
products claiming to protect against the coronavirus.

“There is no sacramental holy alcohol that we should make the sign of the cross
with when we rub it to ourselves,” The Catholic Bishops Conference of the
Philippines (CBCP) said in a statement on Monday. “Moreover, it should not be
sprinkled on the faithful.”

They likewise warned that there are no such things as holy face masks, holy
face shields, holy hand sanitizers and holy personal protective equipment. “This is an
irreverent marketing strategy or gimmick,” the statement added

Lesson Using Information from

News Report and Speeches

You can’t live out your life without paying the slightest attention to the world
around you. In today’s world, news has grown to take on more forms than ever. It’s
the website we visit, the tweets we read, the facebook posts we like…it’s any
number of media platforms that we engage with on a daily basis. Those snippets of
information add up to our world view and inform us when it comes to making our
own opinions and judgements. News informs our decisions and our decisions effect
future events. In this lesson, you’ll answer one enduring question about “how are
you going to use these pieces of information in living your life as a student?”

What’s New

It is always useful to know what is going on in the world. If you are well-informed,
people will be less likely to fool you or manipulate you. The more you know what is
happening in the world, the more that you will be able to make good decisions. For
democracy to survive and thrive, well-informed people are really necessary

ACTIVITY 1. THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK

Just as no two Philippine Presidents are the same in priorities and governance, no
two State of the Nation Addressess are the same in content and in form.Identify the
following memorable quotes from the inauguration addresses of the country’s
presidents by matching column A with column B.

A. B.
1. “We are from now on Republicans; that is to say a. Manuel L. Quezon
men of law, able to fraternize with other nations
with mutual respect and affection.” b. Emilio Aguinaldo
2. “ We shall build a government that will be just,
honest, efficient and strong so that the foundation c. Fidel V. Ramos

10
of the coming Republic may be firm.”
3. “We became exiles, we Filipinos who are at home d. Corazon C. Aquino
Only in freedom.Now by God’s grace and the power
of the people, we are free again.” e. Joseph Estrada
4. “Poverty, we must learn to regard as another form
of tyranny, and we must wage against it the moral f. Benigno Aquino III
equivalent of war.”
5. “There will be no friend, no compadre, no relative
or offspring who can take advantage right now.”

What is it

What is a news report?

It is the main function of the journalistic profession. It involves discovering all
relevant facts, selecting and presenting the important facts and weaving a
comprehensive story.
What is the purpose of news report?
The purpose of news report is to inform readers of what is happening in the world
around them.
What are the three main types of news?
There are three main types of news media: print media, broadcast media and the
internet

What does speech mean?

Speech is the vocalized form of human communication. The faculty of uttering
articulate sounds or words, of expressing thoughts by words. Organizing the
information in our heads and giving it over in a clear and understandable way to
the communication partner. Information can be exchanged verbally, written or
through body language
Why is speech important?
Speech is a very important part of human development. Speech enable the person
to directly connect to a large number of people. It is a very effective way to change
the mentality of large number of people, or strengthening their beliefs in the
speaker.
What are the three types of speeches?

goal of this speech is to give the audience new understanding of some topic you
might be familiar.

11

Lesson
2
Informative Talks and Panel
Discussions

We live in world wherein being well-informed is a necessity. Good information has a

strong tendency to be persuasive, and persuasion relies on good information. If
information is inaccurate, incomplete, or unclear, it will be of limited usefulness to
your audience

What’s New

The main goal of an informative talk is to help explain a

specific subject and to help the audience remember the knowledge later.
Activity 1. READ AND LEARN

I believe that taking a half an hour break from classes to rest your eyes
and brain would benefit not only the students but the teachers as well. We
all get stressed; levels of stress are the same whether you are an adult or a
child. Higher stress levels make people get distracted because their mind is
focused on other things. Planning a nap into the curriculum, whether it’s a
quick sleep on the desks or in a dedicated room, will improve concentration
and the overall ability to absorb the materials.

12
1. What kind of information can you derive from the text?
2. To whom do you think it is addressed?
3. Do you agree with the speaker’s point of view?
4. How will you use the information you’ve learned in your everyday life
as a student?

What is It

What is an informative talk?

An informative talk provides interesting and useful information about a specific
subject to increase the knowledge of your audience. To make sure that the
information contained in a speech is remembered by the audience, the deliverer of
an informative talk should combine organization, repetition and focused
visualizations to increase the effectiveness of the speech and the likelihood that the
audience will leave informed. Achieving all three of these goals- accuracy, clarity
and interest-is the key to your effectiveness as a speaker.
There are several types of informative talks;
1. Definition- explains the meaning, theory, or philosophy of a specific topic
that the audience likely does not know much about.
2. Demonstration-explains how to do something or a how-to speech that will
likely use visual examples that show the audience how to move from step to
step through a particular activity.
3. Explanatory- gives description of the state of a given topic. This will also
utilize visualizations that give the audience a visual representation of the
particular data or statistics contained in the speech.
4. Descriptive-creates a vivid picture in a person’s mind regarding an object,
person, animal, or place.

What is a panel discussion?

A panel discussion technique originated in 1929 by Harry A. Overstreet. It is a
specific format used in a meeting, conference or convention. It is a live virtual
discussion about a specific topic amongst a selected group of panelists who share
differing perspectives in front of a large audience.
Objectives of Panel Discussion

 To provide information
 To analyze a problem from different angles
 To identify the values
 To organize for mental recreations

13
Characteristics of Panel Discussion

 Used in university and college level to organize teaching at reflective

level
 Develops the ability of problem solving
 Helps to understand nature, problem or theme of discussion
 Develops ability of presentation of theme and giving their point of view
logically
