A. Reading (20 pts)
Article 1
a. What is the main point of the author? Answer in at least 2 sentences.
The author explains that philosophy may not merely be theories concepts or thoughts
philosophy is a way of thinking it helps in coming to terms with life reality and
self-belief. He points to how philosophy develops critical thought and self-exami-
nation compelling us to question our own standing and enter other perspectives to -
view things.
b. Do you agree with the author? Why? Why not? Explain.
I find it hard to disagree with the author because philosophy does help frame our opinions
and critical thought. In my own experience, being challenged by varying ideas has
self-belief. He points to how philosophy develops critical thought and self-exami-
influenced a more open mindset and the ability to make wiser choices. It is not merely
theoretical but is even implicated in how we live and interact with others.
Article 2
a. Pick one point from this article and briefly explain by citing personal experiences.
One major issue in this article is that the 1987 Constitution guarantees a democratic
government where power belongs to the people through elections. I see this when people
vote, hoping for better leaders. In my family, we discuss politics during elections, and I
influenced a more open mindset and the ability to make wiser choices. It is not merely
have learned that voting is not just about choosing leaders but about shaping the country's
future.
b. Is there any biased idea in the article? Explain why it is biased. Or elaborate why the author is fair.
The author presents the Constitution fairly without any political bias, focusing on its role in
maintaining democracy and governance. Since he does not favor any political agenda, the
article remains objective, allowing readers to form their own opinions on governance.
Documentary 1 1. What is the main idea of the documentary?
The main idea in this documentary is hacker activities and how they exploit vulnerabilities in
systems for personal gain or activism.
Documentary 2 2. What is an important issue tackled in this episode? Indicate the episode in your
answer.
The episode highlights how easily people can buy abortion pills, openly advertised and sold
despite being illegal in the Philippines, even though it may be legal in other countries.
Short Review: I found Nosedive incredibly relevant, as it reflects the pressures people face today in
maintaining a flawless online image. The episode made me question how much
importance we place on social approval and whether we sacrifice authenticity for
popularity. Seeing Lacie’s breakdown was both heartbreaking and eye-opening,
showing that chasing social validation can lead to self-destruction. The ending, where
she finally speaks freely after losing everything, suggests that true liberation comes
from breaking free from societal expectations.
Reaction: I found FoodPanda application is incredible helpful, making ordering food quick and easy.
