(Teacher presents the author’s background)
Can you read the first paragraph, Jamie?
He was a Filipino poet and soldier. He
wrote Filipinas,a patriotic poem in Spanish. It was
published for the first time in the issue of the first
anniversary of La Independencia on 3 September 1899.
The poem fit the instrumental tune Marcha Nacional
Filipina by Julián Felipe, and it has since been the basis
for every translation of the Philippine National Anthem.
If you will know, the poem he wrote became the
lyrics of the national anthem. During the American
period, the poem was translated into English. This is the
translation that appears in this lesson.

1. Activity
“FILIPINAS”
Jose Palma
(tr. Camilo Osias and M.A. Lane)
Reference: English Arts 1 page 40
2. Analysis
“Did you understand the poem, class?”
“Now, answer these questions.”
“Why is the Philippines called a land of the
morning and a child of the returning sun,Jhenny Rose?”
“Can you tell why the Philippines is called a
cradle of noble heroes, Jeffrey?”
“Alright! Are those examples of literal or
figurative language, Charity?”
“Very Good!”
“The expressions in the poem you have just read
are not to be taken literally. They are used to make the
expressions more vivid and the reader is expected to
apply the imaginative meaning rather than the literal
meaning.”
“These expressions are called figures of speech.
“Have you heard this before,class?
“Okay, figures of speech do not make sense if
applied literally but they paint vivid word pictures when
their imaginative meanings are applied.”
(Students listen)
(Students read the poem silently)
(Students’ answer may vary)
I think land of the morning and the
child of the sun returning would mean
a land where the sun shines almost
always.
A cradle is a baby’s bed. Therefore, a
land that is a cradle of noble heroes
would mean a places where many
heroes have been born.

“There are many types of figures of speech. But
today, we will discuss only the three commonly used
figures of speech. These are the simile, metaphor and
personification.”
“Which among of these three types of figures of
speech are you familiar with, class?”
“Now, let us know what simile is. Can you please
read the meaning of simile presented on the board,
Aliah?
1. SIMILE
A simile is a comparison of two unrelated objects
with the use of as or like.
Sometimes you make comparisons. You say as
rough as a tree bark, like the heat of the sun, like the
smoothness of a rose petal, or as clear as crystal. When
you say that the explanation is as clear as crystal or the
baby’s skin is like a rose petal, you are making a
comparison between two unrelated objects whose only
similarity is in the clearness (of crystal) or the
smoothness (of the baby’s skin and that of a rose petal).
These comparisons are called similes.
“Everybody, please read the given examples of
simile.”
Examples:
The metal twisted like a ribbon.
She is as sweet as candy.
He like a flagpole. (tall and thin)
Note: Using “like” or “as” doesn’t make a simile.
A comparison must be made.
Not a Simile: I like pizza.
Simile: The moon is like a pizza.
“Everybody, let us now read what metaphor is.”
2. METAPHOR
A metaphor is a comparison of two unrelated
objects without the use of as or like.
Some comparisons can be made without using as
Those are examples of figurative
language, Sir.

or like. When you say the drumming of raindrops on the
roof, you are comparing the sound of raindrops falling
on the roof to the sound of a drum.
Examples:
All the world is a stage.
Men are dogs.
She has a stone heart.
“Now, read the meaning and examples of
personification, Geian.”
3. PERSONIFICATION
When you speak of things as though they were
persons, you are using personification. Personification is
giving human traits to objects or ideas.
Examples:
The sunlight danced.
The smiling sun.
The flowers dancing in the breeze.
(Teacher gives further explanation of personification)
“Did you understand, class?”
“Now,let’s check your understanding of the
lesson.”
3. Abstraction
“WHAT do you mean by figure of speech,
Crisela?”
“HOW many figures of speech we have just
discussed, Ricalyn?”
“WHAT are those three commonly used figures
of speech,Vincent?”
(Students read)
(Students read)

10.
“CAN you define simile, Rico?”
“CAN you give me an example of simile, Tom?”
“HOW about metaphor, Trisha?”
“CAN you now give me an example of metaphor,
David?”
“HOW about personification, Edwin?”
“CAN you now give me an example of
personification, Mikhaela?”
“Very good!”
4. Application
“Now, let’s see if you really understand the lesson
by playing this very simple yet amazing game. This
game is called “Figurative Language Game”. Let’sread
first the game mechanics before we play.”
Figurative Language Game
(Geian reads the meaning and
examples of personification)
Yes Sir!
“A figure of speech is a word or
phrase that has a meaning other than
the literal meaning.”
“We only have discussed the three
commonly used figures of speech, Sir.
“Those three commonly used figures
of speech are simile, metaphor and
personification.”
“A simile is a comparison of two
unrelated objects with the use of as or
like.”

“Are you now ready, class?”
“Alright! Let’s play.”
“How did you find the game, class?”
“Let us go back with the poem you have just read,
can you tell me the importance of the poem to the creation
of our national anthem, Andrew?
“Very good!”
(Tom gives an example of simile)
“A metaphor is a comparison of two
unrelated objects without the use of as
or like.”
(David gives an example of metaphor)
“Personification is the attribution of a
personal nature or human
characteristics to something
nonhuman, or the representation of an
abstract quality in human form.”
(Mikhaela gives an example of
personification)
