It was the same year that the American arrived in the Philippines. It was not their turn to possess the Philippines. Again, the Filipinos fought. Read the following story. (Graphic Art) “Saan Nanggaling ang Pangalan ko? Si San Juan Bautista ang santong patron ng aming bayang Dinalupihan, Bataan. May patron ang bawat bayan. Galing ang kaugaliang ito at ang Katolikong relihiyon sa mga Kastila. Tuwing pista, ipinagdiriwang ang patron. Kapag pista, binibinyagan at binibigyan ng pangalan ang mga sanggol kapag pista. Noong 1944, ipinanganak ang aking kapatid na babae. Bininyagan siya ng pista. Sinabihan ng pare na Juana o Juan lahat ang pangalan ng mga bibinyagan sa araw na iyon. Ngunit, tumanggi ang aking ina. Kaya, naging Teresita ang pangalan niya. Pagkaraan ng dalawang taon, ipinanganak ako sa araw ng pista, Hunyo 24, 1946. Dahil dito, pumayag ang ina ko sa pangalang Juanita. Kasi hindi raw natuwa si San Juan nang tanggihan niya ang pangalang Juana. Ito ang dahilan kaya Juanita ang pangalan ko! How did I get my name? St. John the Baptist is the patron saint of our town Dinalupihan, Bataan. Every town has a patron saint. This tradition and the Catholic religion were introduced by the Spaniards. The patron saint’s feast day is celebrated during the annual fiesta. Babies are baptized and given names every fiesta. In 1944, my sister was born. She was baptized during the fiesta. The parish priest informed everyone that everyone baptized that day would be named Juana.. But, my mother refused. That is why my sister ‘s name is Teresita. After two years, I was born on the day of the fiesta, June 24. For this reason, my mother agreed to name me Juanita because St. John was not happy when she refused the name Juana. This is why Juanita is my name! TALASALITAAN; A. List the words from Babasahin 3 that have linkers. B. Answer the following questions. 1. Sino ang patron ng Dinalupihan?
