Introductory Message
For the learner:
As part of establishing a healthy relationship with others, certain ways have to
be practiced, such as respect. In Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao, respect is being
taught as part of your values system but in Homeroom Guidance, you can look at it
as an important part of your social skills. We respect each other because we do
recognize and accept each others’ existence. We are all connected to one another,
hence, let’s make our similarities and difference of good use to strengthen our
connections.
Work on the tasks seriously; seek help if you believe you need to. Remember,
in life there are things that you cannot control just like the people around you. There
will be negative events that will challenge practices of respect. However, do not be
disheartened: you have the means on how to overcome it; you have that in you!
Embark on this journey of valuing respect as an important part of building
harmonious relationship.
This self-learning module has six indicative tasks, which are as follows:
Let’s Try This – which will help you to get ready to learn;
Let’s Explore This – which will guide you towards what you need to learn;
Keep in Mind – which will give you the lessons that you need to
learn and understand;
5
You Can Do It – which will help you apply the lessons learned in daily activities;
What I Have learned – which will test and evaluate your learning;
Share Your Thoughts and Feelings – which will help you express your thoughts,
opinions and feelings.
Make sure to read, think, follow, and enjoy every task that you are asked to
do. Have fun! Stay safe and healthy!

Introduction
6
We always
hear the statement “Respect is not given, but earned”. This module is designed to
help you establish meaningful social connections by respecting the differences and
similarities of the people in the society. Recognizing the unique beliefs, cultures, and
values of different individuals, groups, and communities is an effective way to deal
with the diversity of people. Respect means honoring a person’s existence, and
accepting his/her characteristics without any judgment regardless if they are similar
or different from us.
The lessons in this module will help you recognize the different ways and
situations on how to show respect to other people. Aptly, this module will let you
value the impact of respect, especially in maintaining good relationship and
connection with the people around you.
When you are able to show respect on the diversities and rights of the people
around you, you will then have a harmonious relationship with them. Doing things
that promote respect will have a significant effect on your personality and personal
growth.
Let’s Review
In Module 4, you were able to know the significance of practicing self-
discipline in your everyday life and its importance in facing personal changes and
growth.
Let’s Try This
Suggested Time Allotment: 5 minutes
If you are going to give a grade on your practices of respect, what would it be?
What about to your family members at home? Why?
Write your answer on a sheet of paper.
Processing Questions:
1. Why did you give those grades?
2. What do those grades mean to you? to your family?

Let’s Explore This
Suggested Time Allotment: 15 minutes
Recommend ways on how to show respect in the given situations:
1. No matter how you try to be nice with your older cousing Alleck, he always
tries to pick on you. He humiliates you publicly by making you a laughing stock
on almost about everything.
2. You visited a relative named Agay who belongs to an indigenous group. He
happily prepared an exotic food for lunch. However, you are not comfortable
eating such food and it is your first time to be in their house.
3. Your friend’s mother Chia who happened to be your neighbor creates gossip
about your family. One morning, you overheard her talking about you with your
other neighbors in front of your house.
Processing Questions:
1. What have you observed with your answers?
2. Was it easy or hard to apply your recommended ways? Why?
3. Do you really need to be respectful always? Why?
Keep in Mind
Suggested Time Allotment: 15
minutes
You discover new things
about yourself every day. As you
become aware of the similarities
and differences you have with
other people, you might ask many
why’s, such as why you are different and you are similar from others.
This is understandable because you and other people come from various
places, have different family backgrounds, family histories and orientation. You might
have countless, different experiences from others. Add the fact that there are factors
that might affect the way you relate yourself to other people. Take note though that
you can always improve the way you relate to other people, through effective
communication and by genuinely respecting their beliefs, cultures,
and values. There are numerous ways to respect others
effectively. It is a social skill that we must enhance at all times.

Being a Grade 9 learner, it is normal to be conscious about expressing
yourself without disrespecting others. You must be mindful on how you treat other
people as they might misinterpret your actions or words. As you go along with the
journey of life, you must also have a wider respect and acceptance for others.
Respect and acceptance are lifelong processes that you must always take on a
positive note.
Respect for others is an essential way to maintain good relationships with the
people around you. It is the foundation of your connection to others, the same way
that other people’s foundation in having an effective connection with you, too.
Now that the entire world is facing a pandemic, respect is even more essential
and powerful. We respect by practicing physical distancing and wearing facemask in
public. We show our respect by being a good citizen and following the prescribed
rules and regulations set by our government to stop the transmission of the virus. We
have learned to respect other people’s personal spaces even more. To add, we show
respect nowadays by not only being considerate to others but by taking care of
ourselves so that in our own way, we become valuable warriors against this virus.
Another form of timely respect that we can manifest now is the
nondiscrimination of people who were afflicted by the virus. When we do not
stigmatize the people affected by this virus or their families, we show not only
respect but compassion to others.
With all of these, may we not forget that showing respect means:
R egarding and treating
E verybody with kindness,
S howing good manners and
P oliteness to all,
E xhibiting equal courtesy as well as
C ivility and consideration, and
T hriving with tact and a thoughtful attitude.
