Man In Dapitan by Loreto Paras-Sulit.
Nice!
What have you learned about that In that story, I have unfolded another
story? remarkable story of our national hero,
Rizal. He is a great person in selflessly
helping people.
The story described how smart and
kind Rizal was. I wish people are like

to live in if we treat each other like
how Rizal treated people.

To begin with, I am going to play a song Okay, ma’am.
to you class. Please listen to what the
song tries to tell us. Save your ideas for
later.
(The teacher plays a song entitled, (Students listen.)
“Batang Bata Ka Pa” by Apo Hiking
Society.)
Do you like the song, class? The song is pretty old ma’am, but the
message is still fresh and timely.
I like this song because it’s so calm and
you can listen to this song as you sleep.
Have you heard about this song before? Yes, ma’am. My parents used to play
this song.
What do you think is the message of this The message of the song would be,
song? parents teach their children not
because of their own wants and will.
They are teaching their children from
their experiences and understanding.
They are telling us that we are still
young thus; we can still experience a
lot and learn from life. Hence, thinking
that we know everything while we’re
young is wrong. We must consider
their advice since they used to be
young before.

Tona at an early age(18 yrs old).
Their similarities are; early marriage for
both sons (Dodong and Blas) and both
father agreed to it (Dodong and his
father).
What is conflict of the story? The main conflict in the poem
"Footnote to Youth" by Jose Garcia
Villa is the difficulty that the two young
lovers face by marrying so early in life.
3. Abstraction
Do you think it is good to marry at an Some people would say that marrying
early age? Why? Why not? at an early age is good so that you will
still have longer time to spend with
your children or grandchildren.
I think marrying at an early age is good
if you can shoulder the struggles and
problems especially finances of
married life. It is so hard to marry
when you have no stable job because
you are creating your own hell.
Marrying early will limit your
experiences. You could’ve enjoyed
your time as single and explore things
that’s good for you. But when you
marry early, you unlikely be able to do
them all because you are now more
focused in your family.
Why is it important to consider listening It is highly needed to consider listening
to your parents’ advice? to them because first of all, they love
you so much above any person in this
world and they want all the best for
you. They help you make decisions and
make sure you choose the right one
because they used to be young and
vulnerable. They do not want you to
fail so they teach you based on their
experiences.
4. Application
Dialogue Approach.
Find a partner. Imagine yourselves to be
in the following situations. Think about
the conflict involved in each situation.
How do you resolve each conflict? Can
you think of a win-win solution? Share
your ideas. Act out a short dialogue in
front of the class that show your
solution.

You and your older brother/sister
disagree on TV channel to watch.
________________________________.

Generalization
What have you learned today, class? Today, I have learned about the story
Footnote to Youth by Jose Garcia-Villa.
It brought us lessons about marrying at
an early age.
It gave us perspective that early
marriage is not a good idea because
what we feel right now are just
temporary feelings because our
knowledge of the world is limited. We
are still too young and these feelings
might change as we get to have more
experiences.
The song Batang Bata Ka Pa also
relates to the story. It portrays that our
youth isn’t just a small world. There
are still a lot of places to explore.
We realized that this story is an eye-
opener that we should spend our time
gathering more experiences, exploring
things and doing what’s good for us
and for our future.
EVALUATION

questions below.
1. What big decision did Dodong make

or why not?
3. Do you think he is influenced by some
factors or reasons? What could these
be?
