ii Introduction You should work as rapidly as you can without sacrificing accuracy. Do not stay too long on any one item. To make the best use of your time, answer the easier questions first and go back to the more difficult questions later. If you are not sure of the correct answer to a question but know enough to eliminate some of the options as wrong, you may decide to take your chance in answering the item. Otherwise, you may choose to leave the item blank. Guessing may not improve your score significantly because one fourth of your wrong answers will be deducted from your score. On the other hand, there are no deductions for items left blank. Make sure you shade only ONE option for each item number. MULTIPLE  ANSWERS will be marked as WRONG ANSWERS and will be included in the fraction deducted from your score. When the start signal is given, work rapidly WITHOUT sacrificing accuracy.

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. Forwardlooking, 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. Now, if we become fixed in our thoughts and practices, strike us and, like the [3] 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

The proudest now is but my peer,

I set a plain man’s common sense

Today, alike are great and small,

 Against the pedant’s pride.

The nameless and the known;

Today shall simple manhood try

My palace is the people’s hall,

The strength of gold and land;

The ballot box my throne!

The wide world has not wealth to buy

Who serves today upon the list

The power in my right hand!

Beside the served shall stand;  Alike the brown and wrinkled fist, The gloved and dainty hand!

While there’s grief to seek redress, Or balance to adjust,

The rich is level with the poor, The weak is strong today;  And sleekest broadcloth counts no more Than homespun frock of gray.

Where weighs our living manhood less Than Mammon’s vilest dust— While there’s a right to need my vote,  A wrong to sweep away, Up! Clouted knee and ragged coat  A man’s a man today!

[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, 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.

 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

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
