FOREWORD
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.

INTRODUCTION
THE JOURNEY
his 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 allimportant 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.
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.
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 towards
Love 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
vi
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
vii
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.
viii
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.
school 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.
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.

Wilmas Fight to Win
From Pat Nelsons Magic Minutes:
Quick Read-Alouds for Every Day
Retold by Dali Soriano
Wilma Rudolph was an Olympic runner. When
she was born, everyone did not think she would
live. She was a very small baby of four and a half
pounds.
When she was four years old, Wilma was crippled
by polio. The doctor told her parents that she
would never walk again. The whole family, all
19 of them, didnt believe it. Sixteen brothers
and sisters massaged and exercised her leg. Her
parents gave her heat and water treatments.
Everybody helped.
At eight years old, Wilma had a leg brace. Even
when she had a limp, she played basketball with
her brothers and sometimes, by herself. When she
was 11 years old, she played basketball on her
bare feet. Everyone was amazed. At 15 years old
she became a basketball champion.
Wilma was excellent in track and field. When
she joined the Olympics in Melbourne, Australia,
she got a bronze medal as a member of the US
Olympic relay team. In the Summer Olympics in
Rome, she won three gold medals in track and
field events. She was voted US Female Athlete of
the Year, Worlds Fastest Woman. The little girl
whom doctors said would never be able to walk

The Pixies and the Lazy Housewife
By 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,
