FOREWORD
In our quest to make a difference in our community, we are guided by Magis the relentless drive to look for something more in every opportunity with a heroic attitude and to engage our ideas, talents, and energies on endeavors that may at first seem undistinguished, but are in fact required. For us at UnionBank, this means a corporate philanthropy and social responsibility agenda that can best leverage our resources and capabilities to develop our nation and our people. For us, this means taking the less travelled path of values formation. It is thus that we have endeavored to focus on youth development and to align our values formation efforts with the public school curriculum. Through the UnionBank Learning System, we have succeeded in developing learning materials that are designed to integrate values formation in particular, the time-honored values enshrined in the Philippine Constitution with the crucial area of reading. Knowing fully that reading is a survival skill if you cannot read, you cannot learn our learning system endeavors to help produce independent readers among our young. Having launched the program in 2006, we have provided students workbooks to over 2.5 million pupils and teachers guides to 13,000 Grade 2 teachers in 5,200 public schools throughout the country. Over the years, we have received various awards and commendations for this philanthropic undertaking, as well as excellent impact evaluations that show proof of its immense worth to Philippine education. Now, through this partnership with the Department of Education, we are embarking on the institutionalization of the program in the public school system, with each and every Grade 2 pupil to be given a copy of this book revised in accordance with the new basic education curriculum beginning school year 2013-2014!
For UnionBank, this marks the end of a long yet fruitful journey.
With hope and confidence in the future, it is our joy and privilege to give this book through this monumental partnership with the Department of Education as a gift to the Filipino child. May it continue to serve as an effective learning tool, one that can help empower each Filipino child with the capabilities required by the emerging global village. And may it continue to inspire others to participate in the noble struggle for nation building and, to be reminded that besides the earth, mans principal resource is man himself, for the transformation of each individual. JUSTO A. ORTIZ Chairman and CEO UnionBank of the Philippines
vINTRODUCTION THE JOURNEYThis book has been eight years in the making. As the culminating output of the flagship program in Corporate Philanthropy and Social Responsibility of UnionBank of the Philippines, the UnionBank Learning System (UBLS)
is the embodiment of the banks corporate creed To Make a Difference in the Community realized through programs and projects that focus on the all-important area of values formation, like the UBLS.
Launched on June 19, 2006, auspiciously the 145th birth anniversary of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, the UBLS is the brainchild of UnionBank Chairman and CEO Justo A. Ortiz and UnionBank Corporate Philanthropy and Social Responsibility (CPSR) Executive Director Maria Gonzalez-Goolsby.
Recognizing the importance of addressing the Millennium Development Goal of achieving universal primary education (MDG 2), and responding to the call for volunteerism and private sector participation in Philippine public education through the Adopt-A-School Program, UnionBank embarked on a journey to help Filipino children read, write, and speak English and, at the same time, learn to become good and productive Filipino citizens.
The Foreword of the first UBLS book reads
We want to give the Filipino child the solidarity of love, a guiding moral compass, pride in our Filipino heritage, and the capability to participate in the equalizing global village.
As pointed out by Ortiz, At the end of the day, values formation becomes a very important foundation for the future, and thats why more investment should be put into it.In 2006, UnionBank commissioned Marcy Dans-Lee to write and illustrate the storybook As A Filipino, as conceptualized by Goolsby. Likewise, Dr. Felicitas E. Pado of the University of the Philippines was commissioned to write a self-instructional Teachers Handbook using the Four-Pronged Motivational Approach and a corresponding Students Workbook based on the storybook, while Ms. Lourdes Colina-Reyes, M.A., veteran teacher of De La Salle Zobel and author of a values formation book, was commissioned to write the Values Education component of the book series. The UnionBank As a Filipino Learning System: Developmental Reading Integrated with Values Education for Good Citizenship (As A Filipino) was born.
vi
Compliance with the learning competencies set by the Department of Education was a primary consideration in developing the entire UnionBank program.The As a Filipino book introduced pupils to the 16 values enshrined in the preamble of the Philippine Constitution Faith in God, Unity, Patriotism, Work, Respect for Life, Respect for Law and Government, Truth, Justice, Freedom, Love, Equality, Peace, Promotion of the Common Good, Concern for Family and Future Generations, Concern for the Environment, and Order.
In 2007, the program was launched in the National Capital Region (NCR), in coordination with then DepEd NCR Director Teresita G. Domalanta, where it was rolled out in all its public elementary schools that year. Recognizing the Filipino teachers noble mission and dual roles as mentor and model of the Filipino child, UnionBank paid tribute to all the 5,000 Grade 2 public schools teachers of NCR, who were also the first to use the As a Filipino books, through a massive teacher training event on October 24-25 at the Philippine International Convention Center that preceded the region-wide rollout.
To validate the programs effectiveness, UnionBank commissioned Dr. Cornelia C. Soto of the Ateneo de Manila Universitys Ateneo Teacher Center (ATC), an acknowledged Assessment and Evaluation of Learning Expert, to conduct the 2007-2008 census study The Impact of the UnionBank Learning System: Developmental Reading Integrated with Values Education for Good Citizenship As a Filipino on Pupil Achievement in the National Capital Region (NCR).Based on the performance results of 200,000 Grade 2 pupils, the study concluded that there was a 41.59% increase in Reading Achievement. In assessing Values Knowledge and Feelings, a significant increase was also observed towardsLove for Reading (p.=.002) and Behavior Towards Family (p.=.015) and School (p.=.008). It further stated that, in general, both quantitative and qualitative data indicated that the UBLS was substantially successful as a cognitive instrumental system. Its affective impact was also substantially beneficial to teachers and pupils, with the Observational, Interview, and Survey results showing the following: The principals (N=29) and teachers (N=168) selected from 450 schools felt that the UBLS goals and objectives of developing reading skills and values integration were achieved. Both respondents gave the UBLS a high rating (principals mean = 4.38, teachers mean = 4.32 on scale of 1-5). They believed the UBLS was relevant, useful, and helpful to both teachers and pupils. They found the content logical and well organized, with values properly integrated and applicable to the pupils daily life at home and in school, and correlated with other subjects such as Filipino, Makabayan, and Character Education.
Under the continuing conceptualization, direction, and management of UnionBank CPSR head Goolsby, with CPSR officers Ilene R. Ruivivar and Mary Margaret M. Barro, the program evolved in 2008 into the UnionBank Learning
vii
System: Development Reading Integrated with Values Education for Good Citizenship, an integrated program for teaching Literacy, English Proficiency, and Values Education for pupils in the primary grade level.
The five editions of the UBLS were written by Adalia D. Soriano, a highly regarded Language Arts specialist with three masters degrees (General Education, Elementary School Administration, and Language Teaching) and 35 years of teaching experience at the elementary level. Jose Miguel Jomike T. Tejido, architect, artist, and author of childrens books, magazines, and comics, enlivened the workbook with his illustrations and activity pages, engaging the pupils and motivating them to interact with the text.
Composed of a Students WorkText for every pupil, a Teachers Edition of theWorkText for every teacher, a Teacher Training Video, and the As a Filipino Audio CD for every school, the UBLS Program was used 90 minutes daily for 32 weeks in participating public elementary schools. Since its launch in 2007, the UBLS has benefited over 2.5 million primary public school pupils and 13,000 teachers in 5,200 public elementary schools nationwide. Covering the main regions of NCR, Region VII (Central Visayas), and Region XI (Davao), the Divisions of Sarangani, Tawi-Tawi, Isabela City and Lamitan City, and the Districts of Maluso and Tipo-Tipo, Basilan and San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, the UBLS was effectively a nationwide program.
Coverage expanded in school year 2008-2009 to the Visayas and Mindanao, and ATCs Soto did a study in these areas using the same evaluation protocol used in 2007-2008. Despite difficult logistics that allowed complete data gathering in only a few schools, the study showed encouraging results. In Metro Cebu, for instance, the sample of 2 schools, 9 teachers, and 466 pupils indicated a 16.54% increase in pupils reading achievement. In the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, the sample of 29 schools, 36 teachers, and 1,786 pupils yielded an increase of 34.03%.
In school year 2011-2012, then DepEd NCR Director Elena R. Ruiz initiated a DepEd Impact Study, again independently conducted by the Ateneo Teacher Center. This was administered by ATCs Soto in collaboration with DepEd NCR Education Supervisor Victoria R. Mayo. The study focused on the rich source of data from Grade 2 NCR teachers (N=1592) evaluation of the UBLS Students WorkText and Students WorkText Teachers Edition. The Teacher Evaluation of the UnionBank Learning System: Developmental Reading Integrated with Values Education for Good Citizenship A Content Analysis Study showed the value of the UBLS to both pupils and teachers.
The teachers evaluation of the UBLS resource materials was overwhelmingly positive in terms of general impact, characteristics, and content and that these
viii
materials were useful and helpful because of their development of cognitive competencies such as the integrated skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking, values education and integration, and their development of psychomotor skills and the arts. Teachers felt that the focus on values education and integration was quite significant since pupils were exposed to poems, stories, and activities which contain values and virtues that are essential for children to become good persons, [and which are] essential in strengthening and fortifying their character. Teachers thought that the inclusion of non-language arts skills and content such as art activities, puzzles, and games challenged the pupils to think, to question, and to be more creative and imaginative. The activities help increase their motivation and made them more participative and attentive. The UBLS was given credit by teachers for the perceived change in attitude and behavior of pupils: they were more attentive, participative, independent, critical, imaginative, and creative. Similarly, teachers expressed that they learned new strategies and techniques, by using the new instructional materials. They also became more creative, resourceful, patient, and imaginative.The Bureau of Elementary Education (BEE) under Director Marilyn D. Dimaano, also conducted an evaluation of the UBLS in 2012, which showed that the UBLS students workbook designed to strengthen literacy skills and instill values, is a complete package that will be of great help to both the teachers and the pupils. Thus, it is highly recommended for use in Grade 2. It should be noted that the UBLS has earned several awards of distinction for UnionBank, including the Anvil Award for Excellence in Education (2008), the Anvil Award for Excellence in Responsible Citizenship (2008), the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) Special Award for Best in Education (2009), and Finance Asia Top Ten Companies in Asia for CSR (2010). With the onset of the new basic education curriculum, the Department of Education saw the value of capitalizing on the strengths of the UBLS.
The UnionBank Learning System has been a great help to all our pupils and teachers for the past five years, wrote DepEd-NCR Director Luz S. Almeda in her October 23, 2012 request to UnionBank to allow the DepEd Learning Resource Writing Team (LRWT) to use materials from the UBLS for the new DepEd Learners Material (LM) and Teachers Guide (TG).
This is an opportunity for the UBLS seeds to grow and bear more fruits as they will be sown in all parts of the country, Almeda added. It is high time that [UnionBanks] advocacy on reading and good citizenship spread throughout the land.
ix
Having been granted permission by UnionBank through CPSR head Goolsby, Almeda requested clearance from Ruiz, who by then had been promoted to the position of DepEd Assistant Secretary for Programs and Projects, to use the UBLS in the development of the LM and TG for Grade 2 English. The matter was eventually elevated to then DepEd Undersecretary for Programs and Projects Yolanda S. Quijano, and after several meetings with UnionBanks Goolsby and other DepEd officials, among them Undersecretary for Finance and Administration Francisco M. Varela, Undersecretary for Legal and Legislative Affairs Alberto T. Muyot, Instructional Materials Council Secretariat Director Socorro A. Pilor, Adopt-A-School Program Operations Manager Merlie J. Asprer, BEEs Dimaano, and NCRs Almeda and Mayo (the latter serving as team leader of the DepEd-NCR LRWT), the integration of the UBLS in DepEds Grade 2 English LM and TG and its institutionalization in the public school curriculum was assured.At this point, the final chapter of UnionBanks journey with the UBLS was already near at hand.With DepEd formally acknowledging and recognizing the proven usefulness and impact of the UBLS in providing schools with literacy, English proficiency, and Values Education for character formation, and having examined, checked, and cleared it for adoption and use in the Grade 2 English LM and TG for all public elementary schools in the country, selected materials from the UBLS were used in combination with materials provided by DepEd, using the UBLS template, as developed by the DepEd-NCR LRWT.
In completing its journey with the UBLS, UnionBank agreed to assign to DepEd its rights and interests and allow its use and adoption in the public school system. Thus, on February 6, 2013 a Memorandum of Agreement was signed by Education Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro FSC and UnionBank Chairman/CEO Justo A. Ortiz to formalize the turnover of the UBLS to the Department of Education. Under this agreement, UnionBank granted DepEd, at no cost, permission to adopt, integrate, and use in the Grade 2 English LM and TG selected exercises and materials from the UBLS. UnionBank also gave DepEd the right to use all components of the learning system Students WorkText, Students WorkText Teachers Edition, Teacher Training Video, As a Filipino Audio CD, and Corporate Philanthropy and Social Responsibility (CPSR) Audio-Visual Presentation free of charge. These LMs will be disposable, on a 1:1 ratio for all Grade 2 public school pupils nationwide, with every child entitled to bring home the LM at the end of the
xschool year. The TG, however, will be reusable, on a 1:1 ratio, for Grade 2 English public school teachers nationwide. The Grade 2 English LM will be printed by DepEd in time for school year 2013-2014 and then every year thereafter.
Under this agreement, UnionBank and DepEd are copyright co-owners of the Grade 2 English Learners Material.
According to Secretary Luistro, The LM is like a students worktext which every pupil can study, answer and write on, and bring home as their own. In the coming school year, it will be given to all 2.5 million Grade 2 pupils in public elementary schools nationwide. This particular engagement comes at a very important segment in our journey towards reforms, Luistro explains. We are thankful to UnionBank for the learning system that will enable us to integrate and use the Learning Materials and Teachers Guides in the context of K to 12.
On behalf of UnionBank, Ortiz notes
We are happy to join DepEd in this historic, enabling, and noble project a book for every child for the benefit of all the 2.5 million Grade 2 pupils and the 60,000 Grade 2 teachers nationwide. We share [DepEds] vision of creating a better Philippines through the commitment of a better educational system. This is UnionBanks Gift to the Filipino Child. And now, through this partnership with the Department of Education and this book collaboration, it is for all Filipino children to own, learn from, and enjoy.

The Pixies and the Lazy HousewifeBy Mary Calhoun
Retold by Dali Soriano
Long ago in England, people believed in pixies. These invisible little people loved neatness. They cleaned the house of people they liked. They play tricks on lazy housewives. Bessy was a messy housewife. She didnt want to wash the dishes. She never swept the floor of her cottage. Mice made a nest behind her broom. It was strange that the pixies did not punish her.
One summer, Bessy saw pixies in the field. Bessy pretended to be sick. She groaned, saying, Oh, I am too sick to clean my house. Please help me. Whats the matter? said a pixie. Bessy said, Who is that? A pixie replied, Its Willy. Ill help you. Thank you, please come home with me, Bessy said. Willy and the pixies jumped into Bessys basket. When they got home, Bessy went straight to bed. The pixies started cleaning. They washed the dishes and the dirty clothes. They scrubbed the floor and swept away the cobwebs.
The next day, Willy went to Bessys bed and asked, Can you get up today? Bessy just groaned and said, Im still too sick to get up. So the pixies cleaned the house again. When they left, Bessy jumped and sang. Tralalala. I have the pixies to work for me. I can just stay in bed. Bessy did not know that the pixies were watching her. Willy laughed, Hahaha, playing a trick on us? Here,

take this. Willy pinched Bessys nose. The other pixies messed up the house. They ate all the food and blew out the candles. Bessy ran out of the house but the hill was misty. Bessy got lost. When the mist cleared up, Bessy went home. When she got home, Willy was in her house. Get to work, lazy Bessy, or Ill pinch you, commanded Willy. When the house was clean, the pixies left. Bessy always cleaned her house after that. Willy and the other pixies might come back.
