Introductory Message
Welcome to Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human Person 12!
The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Iloilo City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum.
The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.
For learning facilitator:
The Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human Person 12 Activity Sheet

will help you facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most
Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face
encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners
with the references/links to ease the independent learning.
For the learner:
The Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human Person 12 Activity Sheet is

developed to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This
learning material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for
independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand the
instructions then perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be
returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

ACTIVITY SHEET
Freedom of the Human Person
I. Learning Competencies
1. Evaluate and exercise prudence in choices;
2. Realize that: a. Choices have consequences; b. Some things are given up
while others are obtained in making choices; and
3. Show situations that demonstrate freedom of choice and the
consequences of their choices.
II. Background Information for Learners
According to Aldea & Allen (2016) freedom is the most sublime of all human
preoccupations. It is the highest good that all persons struggle to protect.
The claim above remains to be an intellectual task to understand the meaning

of the word “freedom”. From this endeavor, we may begin to question: What by
the way is freedom? What does it really mean to be free?
Freedom has two essential elements which are voluntariness and

responsibility. Voluntariness is defined as the ability of the person to act out of
his/her own free will and self-determination. Responsibility is defined as the
person being accountable for his/her actions and their consequences.

Remember
Freedom is a gift that should not be squandered but taken as a wonderful

gift that must nurtured and protected without impinging that rights or freedom of
others. Therefore, it is not enough that the human being is free but that one is
conscious of one’s responsibility for the consequences of one’s choices.
(Ramos, 2016)
A famous quote by Rabindranath Tagore runs, “Let me not crave in
conscious fear to be saved, but hope for patience to win my freedom”.
Shadows and slavery could symbolize the opposite of freedom or emancipation.
Freedom is earned and protected. One could not just easily take freedom for
granted. More than just attaining economic freedom, freedom is also spiritual.
As human beings, we should not be enslaved by our selfishness but to be truly
free, we should also be at one with others and the environment. (Ibid.)
