Reading Comprehension ( 18 min)

Directions: Read each selection carefully then answer the questions that follow. On your Answer Sheet,
shade the oblong corresponding to your choice of the best answer.

[1] You may want to picture life as a bamboo—flexible and open-ended, yet enduring. Since life
stretches from youth to age, I see you at one end. Your red lips, red cheeks, and supple knees seek even
more assiduously the sun’s radiant glory. But while I feel the sun’s lengthening shadow at my back,
could we pause and talk awhile?

[2] If we, the older generation, dream dreams, you have your visions. Forward looking, you can
always project what you discern for our nation not only for now but for the years to come. You can
engineer plans that will destroy some of our systems or structures that due to age have proved
meaningless. This you can do since your imagination, sensitive to the signs of the times, is sharp and
sparkling.

[3] Now, if we become fixed in our thoughts and practices, strike us and, like the biblical Moses
striking the rock, water shall pour forth. If our rock stands for unchangeableness and solidity, then the
water that shall flow from our rock shall be the water of progress, of development, of life itself.

[4] Remember the two ends of that piece of bamboo—age and youth. Together, we must make
Philippine history in its flux towards progress.

49 What does the writer pose on the youth in the final sentence of the text?

A a challenge C a problem

B a question D a protest

50 What does the text say about the relationship between the older and the younger generations?

A The two must take turns leading. C The younger generation must follow.

B The two must work together. D The older generation must lead.

51 The speaker expresses a willingness to

A open up to the youth.

B dream with the youth.

C give way to the youth.

D listen to the youth.

52 The last sentence of the text says that the Philippines is

A yet on its way to development.

B almost where progress is.

C a subject of concern.

D a country where history is unfolding.


The proudest now is but my peer, Today let pomp and vain pretense
The highest not more high; My stubborn right abide;
Today, of all the weary year, I set a plain man’s common sense
A king of men am I. Against the pedant’s pride.
Today, alike are great and small, Today shall simple manhood try
The nameless and the known; The strength of gold and land;
My palace is the people’s hall, The wide world has not wealth to buy
The ballot box my throne! The power in my right hand!
Who serves today upon the list While there’s grief to seek redress,
Beside the served shall stand; Or balance to adjust,
Alike the brown and wrinkled fist, Where weighs our living manhood less
The gloved and dainty hand! Than Mammon’s vilest dust—
The rich is level with the poor, While there’s a right to need my vote,
The weak is strong today; A wrong to sweep away,
And sleekest broadcloth counts Up! Clouted knee and ragged coat
no more A man’s a man today!
Than homespun frock of gray.

53 What is the theme of the poem?

A the right to vote

B the power of the ballot box

C election of government officials

D equality among men

54 “The wide world has not wealth to buy

The power in my right hand!”

These lines suggest that the speaker

A is going to exercise his right to vote.

B is intending to sell his vote.

C believes he has all the power in the world.

D believes the world also suffers from poverty.


55 To whom are the last two lines of the last stanza addressed?

A to anyone C to the reader

B to Mammon D to the voter

56 What does the poet accomplish through his poem?

A honor the poor C keep the poor man’s pride high

B reproach the rich D contrast the rich and the poor

[ 1 ] The Filipino comfort women were plucked from the unprotected peripheries of an occupied
Filipino society which did not expect to be treated well by the Japanese and was, indeed, content to
simply sit out the occupation, waiting for the Caucasian “master” to come back and make things right
again. The case of these brave women has, ironically, given Philippine society, including its unheroic
segments, a second chance at heroism, and decades after the war.

[2] Many of us still agonize over whether the Filipino women were abused as repositories of “trash
semen” with the sanction of the occupation forces’ high command or not. Although the point is
debatable, it is really beside the point. Whether a woman is gang-raped by soldiers or used as a comfort
woman (meaning, recruited at the behest of the highest-ranking Japanese Army officers), her ordeal is
neither more nor less real; and her rapists are, by any name, war criminals. Indeed the most disciplined
war criminals are the most loathesome; in their case, discipline comes to mean inhumane, even
subhuman control.

[3] All victorious armies, we presume, take it to be their right to despoil the beaten enemy. Whether
their despoilation of Filipino women was isolated and opportunistic rather than routine and systematic
makes some difference, of course. But the difference is really very small in its historical context—the
entire Filipino civilian population was routinely and systematically subjugated, whatever it took.

[4] By forcing us to come to terms with the past, the comfort women who have braved public ridicule
have forced us to look straight at the beast which rears its hideous face at the breast of every man or
woman drunk with power. And we are forced to concede, however grudgingly, that the powerless
victim, as the Christians would put it, has a better chance of keeping his/her humanity than the
(wo)man who has power and abuses it.

[5] Let us then look back—to get angry, yes, but also to cleanse ourselves of anger.

[6] And vow to prevent the unspeakable events from ever happening again anywhere.

57 The passage clearly tells the reader that Filipino comfort women

A came from places where people expected no pleasant experiences with the Japanese.
B hoped to be treated well by the Japanese before the tragedy happened.
C were just waiting for Americans to avenge what happened to them.
D have always been left unprotected by Filipino men.
58 The ultimate solution to the problem of comfort women is
A to stop ridiculing publicly these women who have already suffered much.
B to punish the surviving Japanese soldiers.
C to encourage people to be more Christian in their ways.
D for people to be vigilant and keep such problems from occuring once more.

59 One way of interpreting “the beast” mentioned in the first sentence of paragraph 4 is seeing it as
A the evil that lies latent in the human heart.
B the evil spirit opposing the goodness of God.
C the desire for unlimited power over people’s lives.
D the negative things like pride, envy and malice.

60 In summary, the passage tells us that


A comfort women are perfect examples of what it means to be brave in the face of difficulties.
B the case of comfort women has given Filipinos the chance to right a wrong and prevent a
hideous event like it from ever happening again.
C Filipinos owe it to comfort women to fight for these women’s right to obtain justice from the
war criminals.
D heroism is about having the courage to endure suffering.

Ang banog ang itinuturing na pinakamalaking agila sa mundo at matatagpuan sa mga isla ng
Luzon, Samar, Leyte, at Mindanao. Tinatawag din itong haribon (haring ibon), manaol (ang matandang
tawag sa agila ng mga Tagalog at Bisaya), garuda, at malabagook. Mayroon itong mangasul-ngasul na
abuhing mata at taas na 1.021 metro mula sa dulo ng tuka hanggang sa dulo ng buntot. Pumapangalawa
naman ang bigat nito sa Harpy Eagle na matatagpuan sa Timog Amerika.

Natagpuan ni John Whitehead ang banog noong 1896 sa Samar. Nakilala rin itong “monkey-
eating-eagle” dahil sa pagkain ng unggoy, bagaman kumakain din ito ng butiki, musang, manok,
paniki, usa, lawin, daga, at ahas.

Sa kasalukuyan, isa ito sa mga nanganganib na uri ng ibon dahil sa pagbabago ng sistemang
ekolohiko sa mga kagubatan. Nawawala ang nakamihasnan nitong kaligiran at pagkain bunga ng
malawakang pagtotroso at kaingin. Kaya naman, ipinasa ang Republic Act No. 6147 upang protektahan
ang banog laban sa mga nangangaso. Noong 1990, sinasabing 30 hanggang 50 banog na lamang ang
natitira sa mga kabundukan sa Pilipinas. Marami pang hayop na matatagpuan sa Pilipinas ang
nanganganib ding mawala gaya ng malmag, ang uri ng tarsier na bantog ngayon sa Bohol, at tamaraw
na matatagpuan lamang sa Mindoro.
Sa pagtatangkang lunasan ang pagkaubos ng mga banog, ilang organisasyon, tulad ng Philippine
Eagle Foundation, ang nagsasagawa ng pagtatambal sa mga banog upang magkaroon ng supling ang
mga ito. Ilan sa mga banog na napisa sa ilalim ng matagumpay na pag-aalaga ang bininyagang “Pag-asa”
(1992), “Pagkakaisa” (1992), at “Pangarap” (1999).

65 Ano ang ipinahihiwatig ng pagkakaroon ng iba't ibang katawagan sa banog sa Pilipinas?


A Maraming uri ng banog.
B Maraming wika sa Pilipinas.
C Maraming lugar sa Pilipinas na katatagpuan ng banog.
D Maraming pulo sa Pilipinas.

66 Ano ang puno't dulo ng pagkaubos ng mga banog?


A pagkasira ng kagubatan
B malawakang pagtotroso
C pagpapabaya ng gobyerno

Lumaki ako sa bahay na piyanista ang nanay ko at manunulat ang tatay ko. Kahit napapaligiran
ako ng mga libro, wala sa aking hinuha noon kung gaano kahalaga ang mga libro sa buhay ko. Akala ko
noon, lahat ng bahay, may libro.
Mas oral ako, mas audio. Nakikinig lang ako, gusto kong kukuwentuhan ako kaysa magbabasa
ako. Lumaki ako na tamad magbasa, tamad mag-aral. Natural lang na dumarating ang panahon kung
kailan ang kahinugan, halimbawa, ang magbasa, magsulat. Ang kauna-unahang librong mayroon ako —
na nasa akin pa, dilaw na ang mga pahina, may mga larawan na full page—ay Cinderella, isang Golden
Book. Pagkatapos, sa pagkakatanda ko, ang pangalawang libro ko ay koleksiyon ng mga tula—Mother
Goose Rhymes. Mga bigay sa akin ni Papa. Nang nagkaroon ako ng sariling anak, may Aklat Adarna,
kinukuwentuhan ko siya ng mga istorya ni Nick Joaquin bago matulog, na hindi naman talaga para sa
maliit na bata, gustong-gusto niya.
Hindi ko alam noon na nagsulat pala ang tatay ko ng tula. Para bang ang lahat ng bagay na
nalaman ko ay noong nasa high school o college ako, kasi iyon ang panahong namulat na ako, nagkaroon
ako ng sariling malay, dahil siyempre noong bata ako, puro laro lang.

69 Ano ang sinasabi ng kabuuang talata ukol sa may-akda?

B Makabuluhan ito sa atin.
