Excerpt from I am Looking for a Pilipino Is it so hard to believe that we can remain Filipinos and still march on ward, ever onward to our national destiny? And our mind so narrow, is our intelligence so limited that we cannot realize this truth? Can we not see that we can adopt the foreign ways and yet retain the enduring, the admirable qualities that can make the Filipino great? Have we been so westernized that we find the Filipino way alien to our mode of living? The Filipino way is our legacy. It is found in the determination and fortitude, the determination that made it possible for our brothers in the mountains to build the breath-taking rice terraces. It is found in our courage, in the courage that sustained us at Mactan, at Trad Pass, in Bataan. It is found in our simplicity and modesty, in the beauty of Angelus at twilight, and in the sincerity of our devotion to our God and our country These qualities are still in us in our minds and in our hearts. We can still dig them out if we would only forget about our obsessions with brown Americanism. We can still dig them out if would only dig hard enough I am looking for a Filipino I cannot find him among those who shout self-righteously about nationalism and nationalization. I cannot see him among those who preach about Filipinism but whose preaching are empty and meaningless. Will my search be long and vain? It will be I am afraid unless we wake in time. It will never end unless we realize the sacredness of our heritage, unless we see the richness and the beauty, the glory and the wonder, the promise and the fulfillment of the Filipino vision Prof. Felix Bautista This narrative is about the bravery of the Filipinos in the battles of the past.

In our veins, pulses blood with races of Chinese and Spanish and American, but it does not stop, being a Filipino, because of these.

Read the excerpt below. Select the letter that corresponds to the best answer to the following questions: Excerpt from the Cask of Amontillado The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult 1 vowed revenge. You who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged, this was a point definitely, settled but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredresssed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him while has done the wrong. It must be understood that neither by word or deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as was my wont, to sinile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation. He had a weak point this Fortunato-although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. Few, Italians have the true virtuoso spirit. For the most part of their enthusiasm is adopted to suit the time and the opportunity, to practice imposture upon the British and Austrian millionaires. In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen, was a quack, but in the matter of old wines he was sincere. In this respect I did not refer him materially, I was skillful in the Italian vintage myself, and bought largely whenever I could. - Edgar Allan Poe Which of the following statements best describes the theme of his literary piece?

Revenge drives human beings to great lengths.

From the murderer's

A pipe of a rare old wine

What did the author mean with, "A wrong is unredressed when retribution of takes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make how self felt as such to him who has done the wrong?"
