    SELF-ASSESSMENT 2

    As a student of history, reading a historical account is not simply like reading novel or a comic
    book. A learner should also know how to distinguish which of those sentences or paragraphs that
    make up the narrative are facts or opinions. Although a historian attempts to present a history free
    from biases, it cannot be avoided the personal opinions or interpretations of people, places, or
    events are integrated in a particular historical account. Below are excerpts from books and
    newspapers. Label each passage either as FACT (F) or OPINION (O). If a passage
    combines fact and opinion, write (FO) and underline that part of the passage that you think
    is an opinion or judgement.
    O 1. “His” [Apolinario Mabini] writings, his behavior throughout his life, short as it was,
    demonstrated extraordinary moral integrity, intense and uncompromising patriotism.” – Roxas-
    Lim (200)
    F 2. “Swimmer Miguel Molina finished fourth in the 400 – meter individual medley…, while the
    men’s trap shooters missed the bronze by seven birds…” – Tempo Sports News, Bancod,
    December 4, 2006
    F 3. “President Marcos, an unscrupulous politician, craftily planned KBL strategy before,
    during, and after the elections, if need be to steal the results in his favor. No effort was spared in
    the use of “guns, goons, and gold” to intimidate or entice voters to support the Marcos-Tolentino
    ticket.’ – Zaide (1999)
    F 4. “anyone who has visited Jolo can immediately see that beyond the town looms a dominating
    peak, Mt. Tumatangis, a place held sacred by the Tausugs as the burial grounds of its sultans. The
    busy pier is called the “Chinese Pier”,” obviously used in the early times by Chinese trading
    vessels.” – Patanne (1996)
    FO 5. “Yay Panlilio [was] a pre-war newspaperwoman. As early as April 1942, she
    began serving as G-2 agent in Manila for the USAFFE headquarters. [A military citation
    to her credit reads]: “Through her untiring efforts and selflessness…in supplying…information
    concerning Japanese… activities… many American lives were saved.” – Baclagon (1968
