NOTICE TO THE SCHOOLS
This learning module (LM) was developed by the Private Education Assistance
Committee under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education. The learning
modules were written by the PEAC Junior High School (JHS) Trainers and were used as
exemplars either as a sample for presentation or for workshop purposes in the JHS In-
Service Training (INSET) program for teachers in private schools.
The LM is designed for online learning and can also be used for blended learning and
remote learning modalities. The year indicated on the cover of this LM refers to the year
when the LM was used as an exemplar in the JHS INSET and the year it was written or
revised. For instance, 2017 means the LM was written in SY 2016-2017 and was used in
the 2017 Summer JHS INSET. The quarter indicated on the cover refers to the quarter of
the current curriculum guide at the time the LM was written. The most recently revised
LMs were in 2018 and 2019.
The LM is also designed such that it encourages independent and self-regulated learning
among the students and develops their 21st century skills. It is written in such a way that
the teacher is communicating directly to the learner. Participants in the JHS INSET are
trained how to unpack the standards and competencies from the K-12 curriculum guides
to identify desired results and design standards-based assessment and instruction.
Hence, the teachers are trained how to write their own standards-based learning plan.

Guide books stress the rustic charm of Singapore’s hawker centers. Certainly

food is prepared.
Hawkers may sometimes drive Mercedez Benzes and sport Cartier rings, but
they are usually dressed in what the most comfortable to work in- an undershirt (or
none) and a pair of shorts or sarong. The exposed food is handled by hand. The
open-air kitchen often consists of a huge cast iron wok, a gas burner, and trays of
heaped ingredients.
However, the Singapore government insists that strict health codes are
adhered to and eagle-eyed health officials can frequently be seen doing their duty
around the centers. The charm of street eating is therefore enhanced by the
assurance that the food is perfectly safe for you to eat.

a well- balanced meal at any hawker center.

your search for answers. Listen to the interview of Carlos P. Romulo when he
was Special Envoy from the Philippine President to the United States. Listen
for specific details that he said about Southeast Asia in general and the
Philippines in particular.
ACTIVITY 5. STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN!
Remember this!
Look at the different listening skills you can use:
 Listening for specific details. There are times when all we need is to
get bits of information. We do this when we listen to instructions.
 Listening for main idea. At other times, we need to get the gist or the
essence of what we are listening to. Out of all the details we are
presented with, we look for the major point of the entire text.
 Predicting upcoming information. Another skill we can use when
listening is predicting upcoming information. Here, we need to use
previous knowledge in order to make a logical guess about the
information that will be shared next.
 Unlocking words using context clues. Another skill can help being
able to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words based the surrounding
words. To master this skill requires a lot of focus, as we need to analyze
every single word in the sentence to guess the meaning of the
unfamiliar word.
1. Pay attention to the interview of the Presidential Envoy to the United States
of America as he talked about fight against communism and colonialism.

Remarks by Public Affairs Officer Sean J. McIntosh at the
Workshop on the Investigation, Prosecution, and
Adjudication of Cultural Property Crimes
His Excellency Chhorn Proloeung, President of the Royal Academy for

Judicial Professions, excellencies, presenters, ladies, and gentlemen.
On behalf of the U.S. Embassy, I am pleased to be here this morning to

open the very first workshop on Investigation, Prosecution, and
Adjudication of Cultural Property Crimes in Cambodia. The protection of
cultural artifacts is important to all nations, including the United States
and Cambodia.
This three-day workshop appropriately follows and reinforces a 2009

conference on Protecting Cultural Heritage in Southeast Asia, which
allowed the successful exchange of knowledge and experiences
regarding common problems that many countries in the region face
when protecting cultural property.
What is special about this workshop is the inclusion of judges and

prosecutors in addition to the heritage police officials who will learn from
one another some best practices in cultural property cases and
prosecution.
I am pleased that my colleagues from the Federal Bureau of

Investigation and U.S. National Parks Service can join us this week to
share their investigative techniques and experience with their
Cambodian counterparts as well as learn from them.
This exchange will allow both U.S. and Cambodian investigators to work
better together in protecting valuable cultural artifacts in Cambodia. As
a result, I hope you would be better equipped to successfully investigate
and prosecute those who loot and misuse of precious cultural artifacts
for personal gain.
On this occasion, I am also pleased to announce that the U.S.

government will support a public awareness campaign, implemented by
the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, in producing billboards, brochures,
and banners. Such a campaign will educate the general public and
tourists of the importance of protecting cultural heritage and that
misappropriating Cambodian cultural property is against the law.

This week’s workshop and public awareness campaign promote the
Memorandum of Understanding Between the Government of the United
States of America and the Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia
Concerning the Imposition of Import Restrictions on Archaeological
Material from Cambodia from the Bronze Age Through the Khmer
Era. The U.S. and Cambodian governments signed the MOU in
September 2003 and recently amended and extended the agreement in
September 2013.
Addition deliverables of this MOU comes from the U.S. Ambassadors

Fund for Cultural Preservation’s support of the following projects:
 The preservation of Phnom Bakheng by the World Monuments

Fund in Siem Reap;
 The Documentation of newly discovered sites by the Archaeology
and Development Foundation at Phnom Koulen; and
 A three-year inventory project to document the Cambodian
antiquities project by the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts
In conclusion, I would like to thank the Royal Academy for Judicial

Professions for hosting this event and being a wonderful partner. I hope
everyone finds this workshop a rewarding experience. Thank you very
much.

FACT OPINION
3. Challenge yourself by playing TRUE OR OPS! Identify the statements

whether fact or opinion. If fact press true and false if opinion. You are given
10 seconds in each item.
TRUE OPS!
A. Without a doubt one of the highlights of any visit to Southeast Asia is

a trip to a local market. Exotic, atmospheric and photogenic, the
markets found around Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and
Myanmar are a million miles away from your average shopping mall or
corner store.
B. However, Southeast Asian markets have far more significance than
merely being venues for shopping.

C. Often the center of a community, they can also be a crossroads and
meeting point for different ethnic groups, Sapa Market in North
Vietnam being a very good example of this.
D. People from the H’mong, Dao, Kinh and other minorities gather here
from the surrounding hamlets to trade farming products such as rice,
corn and fruits. More recently a large part of their trade has also been
handicrafts and souvenirs for tourists.
E. In Southeast Asia, the earnings of a street food stall holder can be
between three to ten times the minimum wage and are often
comparable to the wages of skilled laborers employed in more formal
sectors.-TRUE
F. In addition to shopping and socializing, markets can offer a third
attraction – food! It’s rare to find a market in Southeast Asia that
doesn’t have either a sit down food court of some kind, or a collection
of street food stalls.
G. The best advice? Throw yourself into it with a smile, keep in mind that
a dollar is worth a lot more to the vendor than it is to you and don’t take
the experience too seriously — market visits are meant to be the
highlight of the day!

your own experience through a blog. Describe the place, the people, the
