CORTIZ- NARRATOR
CUPIN- KING/ DESCRIPTION
LUNGAY- BREWERY OWNER
JAMINAL- FARMER
MERCADO- DESCRIPTION
CORTIZ- One day, a king was astonished by the great wine he drank and ordered to summon the person who made the
wine.
CORTIZ- The king said, CUPIN - “I will reward you for making such great wine.”
CORTIZ- The owner of a wine brewery said, LUNGAY- “Actually no. I just made wine from the grape the farmer farmed
with sweat, so it is only right he is rewarded.”
CORTIZ- Upon hearing this, the king called the farmer and said, CUPIN - “The wine made from your grapes tasted
amazing, so I will reward you.”
CORTIZ- Then the farmer said, JAMINAL- “My Lord! The reason why I was able to harvest such wonderful grapes is that
the weather was great this year. Hence, you should reward heaven.”
MERCADO- For a great bottle of wine to be made, various environmental factors and efforts of people are needed in a
harmonious manner. The owner of the brewery and the farmer knew that the amazing wine could not have been made
from only one person’s effort.
CUPIN- Earth that we live in is like the great wine, so a world of peace cannot be made with a single person or a single
nation’s endeavor. Only when diverse people and nations form harmony and work together, can we build a beautiful
and peaceful world.

DIVERSITY (CUPIN)
What is nature?
1. How diverse are form of life and people on earth?
.
In the year 2007, there are over ten science research institutes that have collaborated to make the Encyclopedia
of Life with the purpose of recording all living species on Earth. The encyclopedia, also dubbed the modern
version of Noah’s ark, has 1.96 million species registered as of 2019. The encyclopedia expects there are over 90
million species of animals (with insects taking up the greatest portion), and over 400,000 species of plants.
When fungi and bacteria are included, it is difficult to even estimate the number of species on Earth.
2. Why is biodiversity needed?
Biodiversity generally refers to the diversity of genes, species, and ecosystems. The reason genetic diversity is
needed is to ensure adaptation according to environmental changes and survival. When a disease spreads, the
species with lower levels of genetic diversity have the highest chances of becoming extinct. On the other hand,
when the level of genetic diversity is high, tolerance to environmental changes or diseases increase.
3. A lesson to learn from Nature’s Diversity: Acknowledging Diversity
All organisms on earth are so diverse that it is not an exaggeration to say that no two organisms are the same.
Human beings carry unique traits and identities that are different from one other, and they call one other as
separate “individuals.” However, people do not live alone, but in a community. As such, problems arise when
people do not respect differences in diversity. This does not stop at conflicts among individuals but spreads into
society as well. For people, who have various objectives and interests, to resolve conflicts and live together in
harmony, the first step is to acknowledge diversity and to accept it. Only when such a foundation is laid, can we
establish a cohesive community and bring forth harmony among mankind
DISCUSSION (JAMINAL)
 There are many animals and plants we see on our way to school or home that we do not know the names of.
Let’s look up their names and share with others together with pictures.
Do this…. (Gather some pictures of an animal you’ve seen in your way to school or home)
 Let’s talk about different experiences when we conversed with people of various languages, nationalities,
religions, cultures, etc. Let’s also share what we felt in those moments as we had conversations with those
people.
 Let’s write down the list of our friends, and introduce to the class “commonalities” and “differences” between
us and our friends.
HARMONY (CORTEZ)
Harmony Based on Diversity (explain this)
1. Nature in a Harmonious State
 Spectrum of Light
 Ecosystem in balance and harmony based on diversity
2. Harmony found in human society
 Various instruments and sounds from the orchestra
 Diverse nations and categories of sports in the Olympics
DISCUSSION
Let’s observe ecosystems nearby (grassland, forests, swamps, etc.) and diverse forms of life. Let’s express what we have
observed in writing, pictures, and drawing, and explain them to classmates.
COOPERATION AND COEXISTENCE (MERCADO)

Harmony is Established upon Collaboration (explain this)
1. Cooperation and Coexistence in Nature
 Trees and fungi
 The collaboration of honey bees
2. Efforts towards coexistence between nature and humans
DISCUSSION
Let’s look up various examples of symbiotic relationships and share them with the class. Also, let’s talk about what we
can learn from symbiotic relationships.
