The 2020 Self-Guided
PFA Modules:
Supplemental to the
SEES Manual

Conduct of Supplemental Self-Guided Modules 1- 4 of the SEES
A few more reminders for the teacher/facilitator:

1. This conduct of PFA through Self-Guided Modules refers to provision of PFA
through printed self-guided modules which will be provided to the learners
without internet access and computer equipment. This is the reason behind the
use of darker font colors and larger and bolder fonts as well.
2. Please remember to fill out the table called: List of Contact Numbers and
Information in Module III before you make copies of these modules.
3. Please remind the student to return the answered forms. You must look through
their answers and provide feedback. It will also be a good way to check for signs
of stress and abuse. Please refer students who need additional help or who
need to undergo counseling using the newly-established referral system.

Module IV on PFA- SOURCES OF
STRENGTHS
Rationale
The aim of this module is to encourage you to revisit your strengths in order to support
your self-efficacy to deal with their situation. In order to encourage a hopeful outlook,
the module serves to reinforce sources of support and internal and external resources.
Activity:
Ang Saranggola at Ako
Objectives:
By the end of this module, you should be able to
• Identify personal, social, and emotional sources of strengths during and in the
aftermath of the disaster/stressful situation
• Identify your internal and external sources of strength
Materials:
markers/crayons, pen
Introduction
Hi! During the first day, we discussed validating and normalizing our feelings. Last
Tuesday, we talked about how to calm down and manage our feelings. Yesterday, we
talked about our needs and how to address them. How are you today? You just have
one last module to do before you reach the end of these PFA sessions. Today, we will
focus on your sources of strength. This is our way of reminding that you have
resources within yourself or with others that have allowed you to begin to face the new
normal-your process of recovery.
One the next page is a drawing of a kite or what we call a saranggola. Another name
for it is, Guriyon or Bulador. Among the Cebuanos, it is called Banog-Banog. Can you
tell me what makes it go up in the air? You are right, it needs the wind to go up in the
air. What can make it strong enough to not break by air? It needs good needs a strong
brace. It needs good material. It needs a line or a long string. The paper must be
properly glued. And it needs a strong brace.
Just like a kite, you too have what it takes to fly. On each part of the kite’s diamond,
Kindly write down what you think are your sources of strength. What makes you strong
despite what you have gone through during the past few months of pandemic? An

example would be, “ang pagiging matatag, buo ang loob, masayahin, at may tiwala sa
sarili.”
Can you also identify what or who acts like the wind for you? Who provides you with
support? Who or what helps you soar? On the areas outside the kite, write down the
names of these people or things that act like the wind for you.
Take time to color your drawing. Below it, write a brief explanation about your sources
of strength and the people and things who act like the wind to help you fly or soar.

ANALYSIS
What have you realized about yourself after drawing the kite?
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACTION
How are you similar to the kite? What are your strengths as a person?
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICATION
The next time you feel weak, imagine your saranggola in order to remind yourself that
you have a number of sources of strength? Finally, can you write a poem with one
stanza and 4 lines (isang saknong na may 4 na linya o taludtod ng tula) about your
sources of strengths?
Example: Ang Saranggola ko at Ako

Ang saranggola ko at ako
Parehong-pareho
Ako ay Matatag, Sya rin ay Matatag
Ako ay di Babagsak, sya din ay di babagsak
Tangayin man ng hangin
Hinding hindi matitinag!

CLOSING
Facing the mirror, read and recite out loud the poem you have written about your
sources of strength.
