Listening Styles
6. Time-style listening
- The listener prefers a hurried and brief interaction with others and often lets
the communicator know how much time he or she has to make the point.
Types of Listeners
They always look for a way to talk about themselves and their
experiences.
- People need to know why they have to listen to the speaker. What will
make students for example, listen to the teacher well if they can expect a
decent grade? If the extrinsic motive is not very strong, you will simply
become a passive listener.
2. Environmental constraints
3. People constraint
- The presence or absence of an internal desire to listen will affect how well
you pay attention to a message.
4. Poor timing

Pasig River
Pasig River is known as Ilog Pasig in Filipino, a popular river that connects
Manila Bay in Manila and Laguna de Bay in Laguna. It stretches 25 kilometers
and serves as a major transport route and source of water. In early 1500s,
commerce and daily needs of people have pressed Pasig River and its tributaries
into a tireless service (Maranga, n.d.)
During the Spanish period, the Pasig River has functioned as a means of
transportation and has become a source of people’s livelihood. The Spanish
settlers established Manila. They built the City of Intramuros where one can see
the churches like Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church, Plaza de Roma, Palacio
After World War II, the population in Manila began to grow and construction
of infrastructures has affected and started to contaminate near the river. Large
amount of garbage has been dumped in the river daily which has caused
destruction and has been declared as a dead river (Maranga, n.d).
Bethge (2006, para 1) pointed out that in the novel of Jose Rizal “El
Filibusterismo,” he describes how a captain navigates “Tabo” on the Pasig River to
the Laguna Bay. The Pasig River is rich in fish, mangroves grow and bamboo
bushes. In 1820, a Cholera epidemic broke out causing a big damage of the river
system.
However, the port of Manila was extended further at the end of the 19 th century
and Pasig River was canalized. It enabled a safer and more productive use of
waterway to the Laguna de Bay (Bethge, 2006, para 6).
Later, industrialization started to grow and more business was opened causing
water pollution of the river. People’s livelihood was affected and 30 years later,
the ferry transportation has stopped.
In the late 1980s, the rehabilitation of Pasig River has started with the help of
Denmark. The so-called Pasig River Rehabilitation Program (PRRP) was
established together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) as the main agency with the coordination of the Danish International
Development Assistance (DANIDA). The community, local governments,
professional associations and business groups establish cooperation with the
PRRP. In 1999, President Joseph Estrada signed the Executive Order No. 54
constituting the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) to replace the old
PRRP.
In October 10, 2010, the “Run for Pasig River” has reached an estimated of
116,000 Filipinos to race fund for Pasig River and has put into Guinness World
Record as the most numbered of participants in a footrace set by San Francisco’s
“Bay to Breakers” race in 1988.
Now, Pasig River is back to life. People enjoy cruising for a fun ferry
experience. More tourists are coming to see not just the beauty of the river but also
the beauty of Manila.

drainage basin size.
Presentation:
Fact Opinion
e. Lesson Proper
Fact is a statement than can be proven true or false by unbiased evidence while
Opinion is a statement which expresses a personal bias or a point of view. It cannot
be proven objectively. It is a statement an individual or group feels, thinks, or
believes (Baraceros, 2005, p. 87)
The reader should know the difference between a fact and an opinion so that he can
make judgments based on facts.
Jalaur River ranked 17th in the largest river system in the Philippines in terms
of the size of drainage basin. It has an estimated are of drainage system of 1,503
square kilometers (580 square miles ) and travels 123 kilometers (76 miles) from it
source to the mouth in the Guimaras strait. It traverses through Calinog, Passi
City, San Enrique, Duenas, Dingle, Pototan, Barotac Nuevo, Dumangas, Leganes
and Zarraga.
The Jalaur River Basin encompasses almost entirely the province of Iloilo,
with small portions lying within the province of Capiz and Antique. The river
basin has a total area of 176, 500 hectares.
Ten sub-basins comprise the entire Jalaur River Basin. These sub-basins are:
Abangay-Mananiw (16,062 ha), Alibunan (27, 141 ha), Asisig-Lamunan (33, 092
ha), Dingle (9, 614 ha), Jalaud (5, 344 ha), Janipaan-Jelicuon (17, 643 ha),
Magapa-Suague (28, 438 ha), Sigangao (3,023 ha), Agutayan TULIP (8, 664 ha),
and Ulian (27, 479 ha).
In 2010 census, Jalaur River Basin has a total population of over 3 million in
75 cities and municipalities covered.
The proposed projects are classified into two major components, namely soft
and hard. The soft components are classified into several categories such as River
Basin Rehabilitation to include reforestation cum enrichment planting, coastal/,
mangrove reforestation, enhanced soil conversation on upland farms and
ecotourism development.
Second is the River Basin Protection and the third is development of support
system and institutions to include benefit transfer mechanism development,
infrastructure development, research and development and preservation of
traditional tribal culture and practices.
The hard components of the proposed projects are Jalaur High Dam (JRMP
II), Water Supply and Sanitation Projects and Sanitary Landfill.
With this proposed project, one of the major considerations is the adaptation
and mitigation measures to address the negative impacts of climate change. All of
the proposed projects will have Information and Education Campaign (IEC),
Monitoring and Evaluation System (MES) and Human Resources Development
component.
The proposed projects when fully implemented should address the issues,
concerns, challenges and enhance its potentials to achieve sustainable productive
and protective river basin for present and future generations of llonggo.

A good deed and service is not just full of words, but it has to be
coupled with a sense of commitment.
Behind that commitment, are the code of ethics that will guide us in

“A ship will remain balance and steady if the captain knows how to manage his
people with the right crew and passengers.”
It is the job of the manager to achieve the desired goal. It is on his capacity to
motivate his people. To achieve his clear goal, he must have an effective management
system.
Being a balanced professional today is little like being a juggler. The reward is seeing
them spin in the air.
Question: What balls do you juggle? Business, career, husband (or wife), children,
friends, community service, some of us have more up in the air than others.

The Scope of management covers three areas: SELF, TASKS and OTHERS
Managing means managing yourself, the tasks you oversee and the people you get
involved with.
Which among these three do you find most challenging? Nine times out of ten, the
response I get is managing others. For some reason, most of us feel that we can handle
the work itself, but not the people we work with.
“So when you start wanting to change jobs to get away from the people you work with,
ask yourself: “What can I change about myself so that I can cope better with my
present situation?” Learn to manage diversity and conflict. You will have these two
concerns anyway, anywhere you go.
Effective self-management will lead to more accomplishments. Start with little things
you can improve about yourself.
Activity:
Before proceeding to the proper order of service, some basics must first be
familiarized:

B. Tablets
Apple is often credited for defining a new class of consumer device. It shaped
the commercial market for tablets in the following years. iPads and competing devices
have been tested by the US military. The most successful tablet is the Apple iPad,
using the iOS operating system. Its debut in 2010 pushed tablets into the mainstream.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab and others followed, continuing the trends towards the features
listed above.
Sizes
A slate's size may vary, starting from 7 inches (approximately 18 cm).[61] Some of the
models in the larger than 10-inch category reside the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 at
12.2 inches, the Toshiba Excite at 13.3 inches and the Dell XPS 18 at 18.4 inches. As
of March 2013, the thinnest tablet on the market was the Sony Xperia Tablet Z only
0.27 inches (6.9 mm) thick. In October 2013, HP announced HP Slate 21 All-in-One
(Hybrid) with 21.5" IPS display complete with keyboard and mouse. It runs on
Android, but has no internal battery.
Mini tablets
Mini tablets are smaller and lighter than standard tablets. The first successful ones
were introduced by Samsung (Galaxy Tab 7-inch), Barnes & Noble (the Nook
Tablet), Blackberry Playbook, and Amazon (the Kindle Fire) in 2011, and by Google
(the Nexus 7) in 2012. Most of them work like a larger tablet, though some do not
have all the features, functions, or capacity found in bigger tablet computers.
In 2012, Apple released the iPad Mini. Its size is 7.9 inches, about 2 inches
smaller than the regular size iPad tablet. Apple announced the new smaller-sized tablet
on October 23, 2012.
Amazon released an upgraded version of the Kindle Fire, called the Kindle Fire
HD, on September 14, 2012, with higher resolution, more features, and a higher
capacity than the original Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire HD mini is 7 inches in size.
Google also released an upgraded version of the Nexus 7 on 24 July 2013, with
FHD display, dual cameras, stereo speakers, more color accuracy, performance
Phablets
Since 2010, crossover touch-screen mobile phones with screens greater than 5-
inches have been released. That size is generally considered larger than a
traditional smartphone, creating a hybrid category called
a phablet by Forbes and Engadget. Phablet is aportmanteau of phone and
tablet. Examples of phablets are the LG Optimus Vu, Samsung Galaxy Note and Dell
Streak. Samsung announced they had shipped a million units of the Galaxy Note
within two months of introducing it.
Dedicated keyboards
Tablets with dedicated keyboards form the boundary between slate tablets and laptop
computers.
Convertibles
The first tablet to have a sliding screen was the Samsung Sliding PC7 Series,
[71]
a tablet with Intel Atom processor and a sliding screen that allows it to be used as a
laptop or slate tablet when the screen is locked in place covering the whole keyboard.
It is intended to combine the virtues of tablet PCs with those of notebooks.
The Inspiron Duo from Dell rotates the screen horizontally when opened.

Customer hears difficulty in responding to things not anticipated in script.
Leaves little opportunity for people to be adaptive or flexible to responses.
D. Fax Machine
Though the use of fax machines has steadily declined since the advent of email,
there are still many reasons why a company would want a fax machine. From
meeting communication demands to providing a quick copy or print, fax machines
continue to hold a place in business operation.
Communication
Some companies rely on faxes to communicate with their vendors, suppliers,
customers and contractors. Since fax technology is inexpensive compared with
computer networks, many companies work with vendors or suppliers who only
communicate via fax. When this is the case, a company must rely on fax machines
to communicate with others.
Cost
As mentioned, several companies and home-based business operators may not
have made the large investment in a computer network. They need to rely on the
inexpensive fax machine to send and receive hard copy documents. An important
example is a signature page, which often provides confirmation of acceptance.

Prospecting
Using fax machines to prospect is still an effective method for some
companies. Whether it is a restaurant sending out daily specials to local businesses or
an office-equipment dealer sending out exciting promotions, fax machines allow
businesses another way to spread the word.
Printing And Copying
Though using a fax machine for printing and copying is not the most
economical decision, fax machines can be used for both. For a fax to be used as a
printer it must either be connected to a computer via a parallel cable or to a computer
network via a CAT 5 cable. Most fax machines have a "Copy" mode, which scans in a
hard copy and delivers a copy to the exit tray.

Values Statement:
IV. Procedure:
a. Motivation:
When you see someone performing on stage, how do you give your
feedback?
When your teacher praises you for a good performance in the class,
how do you feel?
1. Remember your vision for your work. Remain true to your vision and
uphold excellence and creativity.
End each day with thanksgiving and a renewed commitment to keep growing.
Getting better is what it’s all about. Then you feel like celebrating!
So next time you get the blues at work, and there’s no extra cash in sight, perk
up your motivation by making the work itself more interesting.
Activity:
Feedback
Negative feedback, or corrective comments about past behavior. These are things that
didn’t go well.
Negative feedforward, or corrective comments about future behavior. These are things
Positive feedforward, or affirming comments about future behavior. These are things
The distinction that is largely missing for most people is the focus on the future or feed
forward.
As you begin to understand the power of balancing both positive and negative input
with observations about the past (which can’t be changed) and advice for the future
(which can be changed), you have a new paradigm for the feedback and coaching
process.
Here are five balancing strategies to help you use these four types of feedback in a way
to help the other person receive and use your insights to improve performance.
Make sure you use them all. Which means you must understand the
importance of each, and have insights in each area to share. The starting point
must always be usefulness. Your challenge is to look for examples in all four
think it went?” Or, more specifically, “What did you think went well?” “What
do you wish you had done differently?” Then ask about the future with
questions like, “Knowing what you know now, what would you do differently
next time?” “What will you avoid next time? “What do you plan to make sure
Tie it all together. Connect the dots for people between past performance and
how that relates to the future. This may require generalizing out an idea or
behavior. Tying together past and future can help keep people from being
defensive or spending their energy trying to justify the past – which can’t be
changed anyway.
More ‘and,’ less ‘but.’ When you tie ideas together, do it with “and” not
“but.” “But” erases everything said prior to using the word “but.” “And” is
Focus on the future. While you want the feedback to be balanced, the overall
focus needs to be on the future. Remember no one can change the past – its

2. Positive feedback, or affirming comments about past behavior. These are things
that went well and need to be repeated.
