ACTIVITY

1. Have you ever experienced receiving false beliefs when you were a child? Give some examples.

Yes, when I was a child, I experience receiving false beliefs since I grow up both with my parents and
grandparents, that is why we have a close relationship. My grandparents believe in the "pamahiin" or
what we call false beliefs. As of now, all I can remember is about ten false beliefs. First, pinching your
nose if you want a pointed nose. Second, do not walk on your knees, because you might have an
amputated leg in the future. Third, you should always look on your foot, because if someone steps
"lakang" on it, you will not grow. Fourth, do not sweep the floor at night, because you might sweep
the luck. Fifth, do not point out the rainbow using your fingers because it might cutoff. Sixth in the list,
always jump especially in New year, in able to grow taller. Seventh, do not use double utensils. For
example, since there is no fork, instead of using spoon and fork as partners, you will use two spoons,
it will bring you bad luck in the future, or you might get two husbands. And the last, if a fork falls on
the ground, a male guest will come, and if it is a spoon, a female guest will come. There is more, but I
forgot some of them.

2. As a student how can you correct the wrong attitudes and beliefs in the society?

As a student, all I can do to correct the wrong attitudes and beliefs in society is to give awareness or to
enlighten others that they are doing wrong. In able to do that, I should apply it to myself first before
to others, in this time of the pandemic, people under the age of 22 and above 59, are not allowed to
go out. So instead of going out, I will use social media, as my channel on enlightening others and give
awareness to the things that we should practice and what we need to change. In beliefs, since we
have different religions, there are different beliefs. So I will be taking extra care of my words. In our
family, I was the oldest child here in Cotabato, so instead of going to a large society I will start to a
small society and act as their role model especially to my young cousins.

3. We are experiencing a global pandemic, how can you help eradicate false information in the
social media?

As a student, since I studied how to validate, if the information is credible or not, I can able to share
what I learned to others, for them to be able to know if the information they saw or read is reliable to
take. Since we are experiencing a global pandemic, I can use social media to give awareness to others,
since we are not able to go out and have a conversation freely or face to face. So, in short, I will use
social media in giving awareness, to help eradicate the false information existing in social media, to
lessen the people who will get fooled.
