It’s been a while and we pray that your family is safe and healthy!
It has always been our mission at St. Paul University Philippines to provide our students with
quality Catholic Paulinian education. In this time of pandemic, we will continue to do so- but
now in a different way- as we transition into the new normal.
For the fourth quarter of School Year 2019-2020, we will take a systematic path and employ a
very manageable approach in administering class instruction. Over the past few weeks, teachers
have been working diligently on their Dynamic Instructional Plans (DIPs) which will be
delivered to all the learners to ensure continuity of learning.
On the succeeding pages, you will find the learning targets of ASEAN Studies 6. All learning
tasks of the subject are anchored on the learning competencies your child needs to master. Since
these tasks are to be done at home, we ask that you take time to assist/guide your child to assure
his/her success of education.
Please do also take note that all accomplished tasks may be sent through email, messenger, other
social media platform, or be brought to the designated drop boxes strategically situated at
the university’s pedestrian gate.
We are fully aware that these difficult times are having a significant impact on you, your family,
and the school and so we will remain in constant communication with you and will be available
for questions during this transition. We are confident we can move into this new normal together.
Thank you and looking forward to seeing the accomplishment your child will create. We
fervently pray that we will all be blessed and that we will overcome all the difficulties during this
time of uncertainty. Let us continuously pray and work together, all for the greater glory of God!
ASEAN STUDIES 6
INTRODUCTION
This subject is geared towards helping ASEAN learners explore their many
connections to one another and conceiving of themselves both as individuals, and as
engaged members in their community, country, their region, and the world. As they do so,
they understand the complex ways in which people and lands across ASEAN are connected,
be able to exchange and appreciate diverse perspectives, and envision new ways in which
they can work together to realize common goals and a brighter future.
OBJECTIVES:
This module is designed for you to:
1. Identify famous food from ASEAN countries and their complex connections
that shape ASEAN cuisine;
2. Model out the oral greetings of the 10-member ASEAN countries;
3. Organize basic features of ASEAN through the country fact sheet; and
4. Reflect on the significance of establishing identity and interconnectedness in
ASEAN.
LESSON PROPER/DISCUSSION
ASEAN might not be new to you as it has been discussed across subjects since SPUP
responded to the challenges and prospects fostered by the launching of the ASEAN
Regional Integration in 2015. Before we review the details of the ten-member ASEAN countries,
let’s try to have a guessing game!
Below are photos of food which each ASEAN country is famous of. Try to find which
ASEAN country offers such iconic food by writing your wild guess below each photo.

3. 4.
5. 6.
7. 8.
9. 10.
Have you ever tried one of those ASEAN cuisines maybe in restaurants or during your
travels abroad? You may later realize that they have similarities in terms of taste and how they
look. You may even have your own local version of the famous food from other
ASEAN countries. Now, that speaks about how connected we are as integrated community.
Note: After accomplishing the task, check your work by comparing your guesses to the answer
key below. Don’t worry if you didn’t get some items right. It’s totally fine to speak out
your guesses. This will soon boost your interest to know more not only about the food in
ASEAN countries but their culture in general. Don’t hesitate to message me should you
have any clarifications.
1. Brunei 6. Myanmar
2. Cambodia 7. Philippines
3. Indonesia 8. Singapore
4. Laos PDR 9. Thailand
5. Malaysia 10. Vietnam
Now, it is your turn to speak out! Let’s learn the famous greetings in ASEAN and have
your friends or family members join you in this exercise. Below is a photo showing you how to
say the greetings in each ASEAN country. To better follow and model out the pronunciation, you
can check this YouTube link: https://youtu.be/h70NhLf5e5w
Did you enjoy modelling out the greetings? If you master those, you can build confidence
in approaching any ASEAN citizen while giving them a warm hello!
