DIRECTIONS: Read and understand the selection and answer the following questions.
The Philippines is home to the world’s biggest pear- the Pearl of Allah. But do you know how pearls are formed?
Out of pain can come a beautiful jewel like the pearl. A grain of sand that enters the oysters irritates it and causes it pain.
The oyster reacts by releasing a liquid to ease the pain. The liquid accumulates around the foreign material and covers it. This marks
the beginning of the pearl. Constant pain because of the irritation of the foreign material causes the liquid to accumulate around the
foreign body. The liquid then hardens and form a pearl. So the pearl is a consequence of the oyster’s resistance to the pain of a
foreign object.
The story of the pearl is reflected all around us. When there is no suffering and no struggle, there is no prize. The prize of
the pains of the oyster is a beautiful pearl.

The Good Fight
(Excerpt)
Manuel L. Quezon

Before noon of December 12, 1941, I received a telephone call from General MacArthur to inform me the he was
sending his aide – de – camp, Lieutenant Colonel Huff, to see me on a very important and urgent matter. I told the
general I would see his aid immediately. When Colonel Huff arrived, he told me that General MacArthur wanted me
to be ready on four hours’ notice to go with him in the Corregidor.
I was shocked. I never imagined that I would ever have to take refuge in Corregidor. I had known for years
that the fortress of Corregidor had been built as the last stronghold of the American forces in the Philippines and
safe refuge for American Governor – General in case of grave danger. But it had never crossed my mind, that there
would ever come a time when I would have to go to Corregidor. I was no American Governor – General, but the
Filipino President of the Commonwealth.
It is true that while Major Grunert was still in command of the Philippine Department, United States High
Commissioner Sayre, in one of the conferences that I held with him and General Grunert, brought up the question of
the evacuation from Manila, in case of necessity, of both the High Commissioner and the President of the
Commonwealth. It was Sayre’s opinion that we should be in the same locality. But I made it clear to both
Commissioner Sayre and General Grunert that I felt it my duty to remain in the midst of my people, at whatever risk,
because my presence would help to keep up their morale. General Grunert understood my feeling and thought it
was right. Moreover, nothing was said in the conference to indicate that a Japanese invasion of the Philippines was a

happened that Ki was bitten in the foot by a snake and he could not walk. So he asked his brother to fetch his
wife. Ntio did not want to go and said, “In a few days’ time you will be able to walk again. It is better for you

the journey home alone. Fetch her home for me, and I’ll give you my best bow.”

Directions: Listen to the teacher as he/she reads the listening selection twice then answer the questions that
follow:
Here are excerpts from Nelson Mandela’s Nobel Peace Prize Speech given in 1993.
“We stand here today as nothing more than a representative of the millions of our people who dared to rise up
against a social system whose very essence is war, violence, racism, oppression, repression and the impoverishment of
an entire people.”

“I am also here today as a representative of the millions of people across the globe, the anti -apartheid
movement, the governments and organizations that joined with us, not to fight against South Africa as a country or any
of its people, but to oppose an inhuman system and sue for a speedy end to the apartheid crime against humanity.”

“These countless human beings, both inside and outside our country, had the nobility of spirit to stand in the
path of tyranny and injustice, without seeking selfish gain. They recognized that an injury to all and therefore acted
together in defense of justice and a common human decency.”
