finally sailed for Manila where it was expected to arrive at 4:00 in the afternoon of
the next day.

At around 10:30 in the evening of the same day, the ferry or MV Doña Paz
was at Dumali Point, along the Tablas Strait, near Marinduque. At about the same

gasoline and other petroleum products was also within the area as it was from
Bataan going to Masbate. The sea that night was clear but choppy.

While most of the passengers slept, MV Doña Paz collided with MT Vector.

 We use First when we think of what happened in
the beginning of the story;
 We use Second after the very first event.;
 We use Next when we think of what happened in
the immediate previous event. There can be
more than one event;
 We use Then when we think of what happened
following an event;
 We use Last to mark the final or last event.

b. Retelling the story. Direction: Retell some events in the story

using the pictures.

Teacher: I have here some pictures about the selection that we have
just read. Retell the events by sequencing the pictures as they

“The History of Catbalogan”

A long long time ago, there was once a place beside the sea
in the island of Samar where lots of “balaug”or vines grew. When
the seas got rough during bad weather or when the monsoons blew
during the months of July, August, and September, fishermen and
seafarers from nearby islands would seek shelter in the seacoast
where lots of “balaug” grew.

Once the weather has improved and the men would return to
their homes, they would tell their love ones that they stayed in a
safe place where “kabalaugan” or “katbalaugan” abound.

“Kabaulagan” or “katbalaugan” means a place where

seafarers, fishermen or sailors take shelter or cover and are
detained.

As years went by, the men brought their families to live in
