Philosophers are Inquirers
I. Introduction
The history of philosophy had ancient thinkers trying to understand the nature of the world and its reality. It seems foolish to think today that the world as they thought of it as the same. Even though, there is progress in science, but the nature of inquiry goes into revisions and validation.
Truth is a process of unfolding foolish ideas, understanding evidences and arguments and unselfish rationalizations of that a person can be wrong with what he knows.

1. What are the things that you hold as true when you were young but is not? What made you realize that it was wrong?
2. What apparent knowledge that someone you know is holding on but is not reasonable? Identify the belief and the occupation of the person.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
1. What are the things that you hold as true when you were young but is not? What made you realize that it was wrong?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was probably 5 years old, my mother was convincing me to eat my vegetables because Santa Claus would not give me any gift if I didn't. She made me believe that Santa Claus was outside our window, floating in the air, watching if I would eat my vegetables or not. Thank God for priests and catechists (we practice Catholicism in our family) during my elementary school days who made me realize that Santa Claus is not real.
2. What apparent knowledge that someone you know is holding on but is not reasonable? Identify the belief and the occupation of the person.
When my mother died, my father’s relatives were convincing us (children) that we should apply our father’s cultural practices for the dead. My siblings and I have many reasons for wanting to convince our father not to, and one of which is the possibility of contracting COVID. One of my father’s relatives chirped, “Your mom is not the only one who died during the pandemic and there are others who practised our ceremonies for the dead AND none of them contracted COVID. So there will be no COVID if we do.” Alas, the whole family did (save our brother) as well as other relatives who came to the wake.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
First acknowledge those false beliefs and knowledge that the client possesses. Next, prod on the sources and proofs of those beliefs and information, with the hope that the client will see where the pit holes are - inconsistencies, lack of evidences, etc. Also, explore the reason how come the client is gravitated to those false beliefs and misnomers - maybe they are supporting his unhealthy ways of thinking or behaving, thus bring the comfort of leaving this in the status quo rather than facing the discomfort of changing to a more healthier ways of seeing the world and behaving. Helping the client understand the connection of his beliefs and knowledge to his problems may help him take the steps of letting them go, and most importantly, of addressing his life concerns.

ReplyDelete1.a. I used to think that I was strictly or religiously required to have my daily devotion or quiet time because the coming of the Lord might be any day now and this task would be checked that can cost me to go to hell. After actually reading the bible and studying the context of the personal indwelling of Christ within us, I found out that quiet time is a freeing and enjoyable task of a Christian. There was a clear shift of motivation and value on how I do it.
b. I used to be very afraid at night alone in my room, that there will be multo/monsters under the bed just like what movies are showing. I always have my blanket covered my entire body (head to toe) that serves as some sort of protection. With much explanation from my parents, and my mom encouraging me to regularly pray at night, I started to realize that these are unhealthy thoughts and begin to trust God who can give peace and 'good dreams' when I was a child.
2. Just last week, my father has been very wary of taking a covid-19 swab test because he believes that he hasn't been showing symptoms of it and that he's body can take the unwell feeling. The idea is that, as a retired policeman, I think he is more used to cling on beliefs such as 'it's all in the mind', and that his body is strong and natural immunity can fight it, even sometimes having to rely on practical medications over medical science.
It could also be the fear of uncertainty - the 'what ifs' its positive and the implication of isolation, labeling, etc. Sometimes, an individual prolongs unreasonable stand just to avoid facing possible reality that can actually address things better.
(By the way, he is scheduled on second opinion check-up on Monday and will depend on the doctor for the swab & other laboratory test, but he's much more obliging now).
3. Counselors should be listeners first (active listening), and be open to other ideas even if they may not agree with them instead of instantly debating or correcting someone. It is vital to acknowledge a client to build rapport. Then, they will also be more open to be persuaded with new facts or information if you listen first. You may begin to ask leading and guiding questions to gently challenge their current belief systems that may be faulty or questionable.
Kind of similar with what I experienced with my dad (#2), I collected myself to be patient in explaining the need for initial testing and was listening to his reasons. At the end of the day, a calm and understanding heart makes a giant impact rather than a clanging sound of reason and judgement.

ReplyDelete1. As what I have shared with our class earlier, when I was younger so much younger than today, hahaha. I have this misconception about the clouds. Every time that I saw them I really thought that they were just like cotton candies; imagining their texture and even thinking that they have sweet taste like the latter. Eventually, when I started going to school I learnt that clouds aren’t cotton candies clouds are actually made up of tiny water droplets. And it was verified the first time I flew on an airplane. Yes, clouds are not cotton candies.
2. I know a person who is very dear to me who cling to superstitious beliefs. One of these beliefs is “usog”. She firmly believe that we should be careful when showing fondness over babies because we might cause a potential illness or unexplainable discomfort to them. But if it happens, the person who causes the illness will put his/her saliva to the baby’s forehead. More or less this is what she firmly believe and she is a grandmother.
3. As a guidance designate handling difficult people is never easy it requires tremendous patience, understanding, and kindness. As an inexperience practitioner I will just carefully listen to them and identify the root of their faulty knowledge. From there I will try to gradually loosen their anchor to what they believe in by giving them questions that will lead them to doubt their prior knowledge towards life and things. But surely this is not an easy task.

1. I think a big part of me being a child was naively believing to the existence of Santa Clause. Every year when I was in early elementary, my mom and aunt encouraged me and my three cousins to hang socks outside the window so Santa would be at ease putting candies in them. In my little child brain, I doubt that Santa would come, not because he is not real, rather because there is not snow in the Philippines. But every single Christmas morning, there were tons of candies and sweets in our socks. That was when I was convinced Santa was real, until my mom brought me on next year’s Christmas with her to the market. I was suspicious of how many bags and variation of candies she was buying. She told me then that it was her putting all those candies all along. On that Christmas morning, my cousins noticed that I then possess a candy that was not on my bag previously. That was when they pieced out the truth. Neither of us were mad about our parents’ lies. They were just making our Christmas more magical, and we understood that.
2. The most prominent memory I have is with the beliefs of my classmates in 6th Grade. I know that they do not, technically, have an occupation, but this anecdote I think is perfect for this topic. So, my classmates were pressed in believing that the song “Porque” by the artist called Maldita has parts written in Spanish. I, on the other hand, argued that it was written in a Philippine dialect called Chavacano (spoken in Zamboanga). I was informed about it by one of my cousins who is from Mindanao. Despite my explanations, my classmates would not change their minds. I know that arguing about song lyrics was a bit silly, but I thought that neglecting the background of a song and crediting it to a different language was sillier. Nonetheless, I stopped convincing them after that.
3. For mis-knowing and false beliefs, it is counterproductive to only shout the truth to the ears of a councilor’s clients. In most cases, this tactic will not work because, though it is hard to believe, it is even harder to disbelief – even if it is to the wrong truth. Thus, the counselor should provide definitive proof, evidence, and details to the client to prove him/her otherwise. The counselor should also do the explaining process relative to the extent and speed of the client’s understanding. A calming and firm way of communicating will also help to do so.

1. During my elementary days, whenever there's a broken tooth from my mouth, my mom always told me to throw the broken tooth on our roof and said, "Rat, please give me a healthy, clean, and strong tooth " and so I. But as I grew older, I stopped doing that thing because I realized there's no reason or explanation about the practice being true, if so, there is something the animal to do with my tooth. Maybe, it is what also my mom experience with her mother and passed it on to the next generation, but then it was part of growing in my physical appearance as what I have learned on my science subject. And I confirmed it is ordinary that changes are happening with my teeth.
2. There is this my teacher who is neutral in every discussion of the topic in philosophy. He asks us if there is an afterlife. The question made me doubt my faith for a second because it made me think if it is true or is it what I want to believe. Of course, nobody knows what happens after death and where we go. I don't know if there is someone or something to explain that the afterlife exists. Still, it won't bother of what I'm believing because of the strong faith that I am holding. And we have our own beliefs that make us believe in something.
3. The first thing attitude is for having long patience in understanding the side of the client. Because knowing whatever will be the conversation goes on, carefully and smoothly, they will determine where it goes wrong on how the client attains false beliefs and faulty conditions because listening is the best way for a group to communicate, exchange thoughts and reflect on each other. They can convince them by telling facts supported with evidence or study. Providing an example could help explain what truth is to false or what is right to wrong.

1. When I was a child, I really believed that the moon and the sun are following me wherever I go. My parents always told me, as a child, that the sun and the moon are in a shift to watch over me. So, wherever I go, the sun will follow me during the day and when it turns night, the moon will follow me because the sun was tired. I actually realized that all of it was wrong at 4th grade when my science teacher taught us about the celestial bodies. I was really disappointed but amazed at the same time. Also, that was the first time I discovered that the Philippines isn’t the only country in the world. My science teacher explained that as the earth rotates in its axis, the sun shines the other countries for the day and at night; the moon reflects the Sun’s light as to not leave the opposite part of the earth in complete darkness.
2. Since I was a child, I was taught by my grandmother that whenever I pass a “punso,” I should say “Tabi-tabi po.” It comes to time that I learned it was not real and that creatures such as the nuno or dwarves aren’t real. Still, my Lola insisted that we say tabi-tabi po just because there might be a chance for them to exist. Also, the dogs howling at night are sensing supernatural creatures such as aswang and tiktik. My grandparents and my parents kept on believing them and it is really illogical and unreasonable to believe such thing. My grandparents are retired while my parents are pastors in a church which makes it more unreasonable for them to believe in mythical creatures.
3. As a guidance counselor, they should have extreme patience, a level-head, and an open-mind for what their clients would tell them. From my own experience of believing something that is false, I’d want the guidance counselor to listen to my whole story first and the reason I believe what I believe in order for them to identify the faults in my belief; and then the counselor should be able to explain the fault in my reasoning through exemplification. The counselor should be able to give another known false belief that could be compared to what I believed applying the same logic about where the fault in my belief was. I think, by doing this, the person who has a faulty belief would have something to reflect on and think about the logic in their belief. It is also less likely to offend someone by doing analogy in these kinds of scenario.

1. What are the things that you hold as true when you were young but is not? What made you realize that it was wrong?
My mom would always encourage me since I was young to finish college thinking that when I have my Diploma, I would have a beautiful and stable life, but as time goes by and as I grow older, my responsibility also grows then I begin to realize that just by finishing my studies and being employed I couldn’t have a stable life. When I was 18, I decided to work in BPO industry because of poverty, I earn a good salary from working, however I still don't have enough savings for me to finally resign and focus on studies, then I realized that employment is not the answer to poverty nor the key to having a stable life. The key to a stable life is financial freedom, it’s making your money work for you. Additional, financial management would be a very great help. When I was a child, I wasn’t told about insurances & investments, if I knew about it at an early age I would probably would know where to invest my salary back then.
2. What apparent knowledge that someone you know is holding on but is not reasonable? Identify the belief and the occupation of the person.
Because of religion, my mom who happens to be a housewife do hate the LGBTQ community. She’s one of the people who believes that gay people are the source of HIV, all gays have HIV and that gay people will not enter heaven not knowing that she has a closeted son. As we all know, HIV and other STDs can be acquired by anyone in any genders in different ways. I do love my mom even though I know myself that once she knew she’ll hate me and would probably disown me. We might have different and opposing beliefs but it doesn’t mean that I should hate you and I cannot love you.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
I think, the guidance counselor should possess patience and respect. For some, cutting/changing a certain belief would mean turning away from their religion in which if a counselor would push to change would be extra hard. So, it’s better if you’ll respect what they believe in by listening to them and showing you understand their belief at the same time educate them that everyone deserves to be respected and proving them by means of scientific research and studies that such certain belief is wrong.

1. When I was young, I am aware about the oxygen that we people inhale and the carbon dioxide we exhale or the exchanging of gases in respiratory system because my mom taught me, but I got curious about the transition of those gases. I got confused since once we exhale, the next thing we do is inhale, so I thought that when we inhale to get oxygen there is a possible chance that we might inhale carbon dioxide too. That is the idea I put in my mind not until during my science class, (grade 5 or grade 6 I guess) my teacher discussed and explained the respiratory system in our class. I asked her about the question that I kept in my mind for the past years and that time the big question I have as a child was being answered. After school, I look for my mom and told her what I learned from my science teacher and because of this my perception about the oxygen and carbon dioxide thing became clearer to me. In this situation also, o realized that the idea I was holding on since then was wrong.
2. My relatives believe in superstition, my siblings and cousins always play in our backyard where there are a lot of plants and huge mango tree. After playing outside, one of my cousin felt sickly and my aunt said that it is because of the ‘nuno’ or some elemental thing. She said that maybe my cousin had bumped the ‘nuno’ or it’s colony. As a Christian, I don’t believe on that kind of superstition since in the church I was attending our pastor talk about those witchcraft and superstition ideas. Elementals ‘multo’ or ghost didn’t exist but bad spirits are. For me, the nuno’s colony that they said is just an ant or a termite’s colony.
3. Guidance counselors must be a good listener to their clients even though they think that the client was only stating false beliefs. They must have a great patience and understanding to create a good rapport and to make the client comfortable. After this, they should have prepared a lot of evidence or proofs that will support their perception or the way they want to introduce the true beliefs to the client. They also must communicate very calmly and pleasing toward the client.

1. As a child, I believed that the dalandan was a larger version of the calamansi. I was wrong. My perspectives were incorrect. During my teenage years, I realized that was not the case. When I remember it, it always makes me smile and laugh. I'm already familiar with the calamansi and dalandan fruits.
2. Some people, including those I've encountered, hold the belief that trimming your nails in the evening brings bad luck. So that you will not trim your nails in the evening. I don't believe this because trimming my nails late at night has never brought me bad luck in my life. For me, there is no such thing as bad luck because we are all born with the ability to experience bad things from time to time. However, just because you have experienced bad things does not imply that you have had bad luck. Instead of thinking about it, keep in mind that "Miserable things happening in our lives doesn't indicate that our lives are bad. Take a deep breath and you'll have an opportunity to make a positive impact in your life."
3. To start, I'm going to carefully listen to his/her life beliefs. Then, with calmness and self-control, explain to him/her that he/she has a wrong belief and gently correct him/her. Then demonstrate to him what is true and encourage what you have experienced. Finally, convince him/her to adopt a teachable mindset.

In my early childhood, I asked my parents if the seeds of watermelon are edible then they told me that swallowing of these is dangerous to the point that these seeds will grow as a plant inside my tummy. Then as I grow old I realized that even swallowing these seeds accidentally, nothing will happen because scientifically it will just digest or otherwise it will came out directly together with my bowels.

My friend has a belief that if or when you are encountering something to your health or even to your skin without knowing it, he will always told me to go to "Folk healer" or what we called here "Albularyo" to make "Tawas" on it that's what they called in processing on it, then suddenly they will chant to you and tells what happened and what you should do. But when you go to a doctor or clinic, what the albularyo said is different to what the doctor's findings. The beliefs of the albularyo is spiritually.

In terms of attitude, a guidance counselor should have patience, a lot of understanding and they should communicate respectfully and in a professional way. A guidance counselor must not be one-sided instead, they should listen in every situation of a person in order for them to give a best explanation or advice to the personal matters of the clients.

When I was young I thought it was easy to live in this world. But as time went on I realized more and more that it is not possible to have only pure fun because problems will also come and we cannot avoid them. And because of this we will learn to fail and stand on our own two feet and be a brave person who cannot be easily destroyed by other people.
2. What apparent knowledge that someone you know is holding on but is not reasonable? Identify the belief and the occupation of the person.
I know someone who does not believe in his ability and he believes in the ability of others more than his ability. And he has no job because of this he cannot socialize with people because he is ashamed of his condition. And he believed that if he was like that he would just accept it.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
With the client, the counselor should cultivate a respectful and understanding connection. This interaction successfully engages the client in working toward mutually established treatment goals, reducing resistance. One of the available techniques is to use a scenario or examples while communicating to the clients, which can help them gradually realize the reality.

When I was young I used to believe that anything that elders or adults say is right and I just realize that most of the adults is doing the wrong way or making mistakes. Also thanks to them I realize that in every mistake we’ve done there is/are lesson to learn. My parents taught me that you should always follow the adults say because they correct but as I grow up I realize that it is wrong because the elders want us to believe that they are always correct.

Some people in my street say that you need to go to other places before you go home after you attend mourning of the death or burial because the soul of the dead person will follow you to your house. Also they said that if you go to other places the soul of the dead will not follow you. It is called “pagpag”
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
First the guidance counselor must know the belief of the client and explain that his/her belief is not acceptable or there is/are explanation about how his/her belief is a faulty one or a false belief. The guidance counselor must explain everything to the client in a good manner.

1. What are the things that you hold as true when you were young but is not? What made you realize that it was wrong?
Ancient people have this common folk saying where they will add spices in many things. For example, from what I've heard when I was in my early childhood days when I have scratches or wound in my skin is there will be a big animal specifically a horse that will came out of the wound if I will be refused to apply medicines or ointment on it. Some horror stories we can see on the television also added the feared I felt because of the horror scenes where people release a lot of insects inside their mouth and other part of the body. It is easy to realize that its not all true because during also that time, I started to be asked question in everything I want to know, and adults will just tell us the truth eventually about that thing. Also, it can be discovered through the time to notice that nothing happens in my wound it just healed through the time.
2. What apparent knowledge that someone you know is holding on but is not reasonable? Identify the belief and the occupation of the person.
I know someone who didn't believe in any religious aspect, but he has some attitude only believing himself and not to care on others, in short, he is a self-centered person. This man does not have any job as he is an old man, and he is relying on what his parent left. He also has this attitude of being superior to anyone and make him looks like a well-knowledgeable man when in fact, all of his belief contradicts what the reality is. He also does not believe in the present pandemic issue when in fact our family itself experience it. With the great impact of pandemic, he is still unbothered to a lot of things happening in our surrounding.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
Being a guidance counselor requires a lot of patience and understanding towards its client. They may be also can be strict in a way that it can brings a good result. The strictness of them should vary depends on the situation and beliefs of the client. They should not approach them in a way that it can offend them but also it is important to open their eyes into the reality. Giving a scenario or examples while explaining on the clients can be one of the possible approaches and it can help them to slowly realizing the truth.

1. What are the things that you hold as true when you were young but is not? What made you realize that it was wrong?
- When I was a young, unaware of how the world works, I let my behavior run wild. When someone piss me off, I tend to let violence take over me and later realize how that it only made things worse. There was also a time when I disrespected my elders just because I was irritated by their naggings. Now that I think about it, I was very hot-blooded, undiscipline, and immature during those times. As I grew old, this began to change little by little, I realized that how my actions affect my surroundings. My family, freinds, the school, relatives, and the people around me, taught and made me realize the appropriate behavior and actions when dealing with such situations. How thankful I am for their teachings and guiding me on a right path.
2. What apparent knowledge that someone you know is holding on but is not reasonable? Identify the belief and the occupation of the person.
- As I encounter new people, I began to see that everyone is truly unique. There are variety of people with different personalities, some of them are those who I am fond of and is likeable, but there are also those who is unreasonable to the point that I am frustrated by their attitudes. There was this fellow student that I know back in high school, who has a strong opposition towards the gender identity topic. It's not like his belief was wrong or what, but he did not even pay attention to his surroundings, not knowing that there are some people who was hurt by his words.
3. What should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
- In my own opinion, the right attitude that a guidance counselors should have in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients, was to be a good listener, who's knowledgeable, and was approachable. A guidance counselor should know how to listen, do not missed any single detail because collecting these information will help you formulate a solution to the problem. In addition, having various knowledge is also important for a guidance counselor, how can you solve the false beliefs and faulty knowledge of a person if you did not even bother acquiring knowledge with regards to the issue. Lastly, a guidance counselor should be approachable, how could a person come near you and seek for advice if you look scary and doesn't know how to interact with people.

1. When I was young, I used to believe that children need to sleep in the afternoon to grow taller, my Mother also said that God is angry with children who do not sleep in the afternoon, she also told me that children who do not complete their Afternoon sleep are not able to receive any Christmas gift. Now that I’ve finally grown up, I realized that it is really true that Sleeping can make kids grow taller. Kids really make Human Growth Hormone while sleeping which not only helps his body grow but also repairs muscles, tissue, and bone; what's really not true is that, God will be mad and I am not able to receive a Christmas gift if I do not sleep. I realized it was wrong because I saw my Parents wrapping my gifts and then secretly placing it under our Christmas tree. Then, when I was Seven Years old, one of our Parish Priest said in his homily that God doesn't know how to get mad, my Mother and I immediately had an eye contact after the Priest said that phrase. I really got upset as soon as we got home because all this time, I was believing their lies. Growing up, I also realized that sleeping cannot really make you grow tall, it is not always applicable to everyone because although I sleep a lot when I was a kid, my height right now is just 5ft. or less than that.
2.) In my former School, my Adviser used to sharpen our Pencils one by one before the start of our exam. He is our Math and Science Subject Teacher. He said that he was doing that in purpose because it was a superstition back then during their time that the teacher should sharpen the student's pencil before exam so that the student can retain the knowledge of the teacher who sharpened their pencil. Every time before the exam starts, or the day before the exam, he endures the numbness and pain of his hand that he used to sharpen our pencils because he said that he really want us to pass our exams, especially his exams because he is our major subject teacher. At first, we don't really want to believe his beliefs because it really sounds funny. But, every after exam we always check our test papers, and unexpectedly, we always passed his exams and It's unbelievable that no one fails (because believe me, his exams are literally HARD), even the major exams especially that he is our major subject teacher. I really don't know how to explain that belief or superstition, but I can really assure that we are all amaze on what it does to us. Maybe we are just the only reason why we passed our exams (because we reviewed), but surely, manifesting and the pencil belief really helped us alot.
3.) As a Counselor, you should have an EMPATHY, you must be able to put yourself in your client's shoes and comprehend the scenario from their perspective. You must also be able to build your PATIENCE, you must be patient with your clients as they work through the conversation. In able to approach someone persuasively with this kind of condition, you must be compassionate. It's really hard to make your customers believe that you genuinely care about them. Because you may not be able to relate to every issue that is brought up with you, but you must be able to empathize with how they are feeling. You must be a good listener instead of judging right away the situation. Listen to what they truly say and learn how to "read between the lines" because others are not really comfortable stating their opinions and thoughts. Do not make them overthink that you are judging them but instead, be a person who makes them feel that you are their safe zone. Lastly, correct them in a rightful manner and not in a boastful way. It's really fine to educate people but in a way that they will not feel so low, educate them in a very caring manner. In that way, they will surely feel the support and empathy that they really need.

1. When I was young the things that I hold as a true is that if you have wound then there will be a tendency that the worm will come out to the opening of the wound which is definitely not true. Thanks to my science subject that enlighten me and gave me a deeper understanding about that, and also as times goes by I noticed that they are just doing it because they don’t want me to cry loud when I was experiencing having wound in my body.

For me being a guidance counselor it needs to be patience, having an open minded and also a good listener, a listener that there is no judgement between the client and the guidance counselors. So that the client will feel that he/she is comfortable and because of that he/she will tell everything, therefore the counselor can now give the best advice for the client.

When I was younger, my mother made me believe that if I eat a gecko or what we call “tuko” here in the Philippines, my asthma will be cured. My mother put the small lizard, not the usual lizard that we see in our house, in my hot chocolate and I didn’t know it. She said this to me when I grew up and I just laugh because, how this innocent lizard will cure my asthma? When I grew up, we realized that it is just a myth because until now I have had asthma. There is no medical research to support that claim, it is just a myth.
Also, when I was younger, my mother told me that if I swallow a fruit seed, it will grow in my stomach. Sometimes, I and my childhood friends are joking around, and we try to swallow candy and we will say, “Darna!”. We adapt this thing because of the teleserye, Darna. She will swallow a rock and will become a superhero. When I grew up, I learnt that it’s just a myth and the truth is that fruit seeds will simply go to our digestive system and eventually it will be released by our body when we defecate. I realized that maybe our parents are just concern about us. Maybe, they are saying those things to frighten us so that we will not do it. It is for our own benefit.

Last month, the day after she take the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine, the sibling of my grandmother died. The family believed that it's because of the high dosage of the vaccine that her body couldn't handle it. Maybe, there are other causes of her death like other diseases that she has.

Guidance counselors should be a good listener, open-minded, patient, and able to understand the clients without any criticism. Let the client speak for herself/himself. Find proofs and sources that support his/her claim, ask some questions.

1. What are the things that you hold as true when you were young but is not? What made you realize that it was wrong?
I was a victim of bullying, by strangers and even by my relatives. The impression of having fair skin, perfect set of teeth, and not being skinny/ fat are the ways for you to be accepted. I experienced being mocked for my tan skin, called “negra” and more. I was always confused, “is beauty/looks all that matters?”. I never did anything wrong to them, so why are they so harsh? Now that I am almost an adult, I realized my younger me was so pressured to look a certain way. Those experiences were always stuck in my heart and the trauma it gave me.
I started to change all of me. I educated myself in the topic of colorism and how it affects many Filipinas in the country. I realized that it was never my fault that I was bullied for the way I look. The beauty standards of the Filipinos came from the many centuries of colonization of the Spaniards. I recognized the fact that I was not alone. It made me feel better and so I gained confidence. I taught myself that it was not my fault the people are so judgmental. I promised to myself that I will help women or those who are oppressed. It became one of my principles in life, to help eliminate colorism and discrimination. Everyone is beautiful in their own little ways.

That women should always conform to men and society. For decades it is known that women experienced discrimination, deprivation of human rights, and inferiority to men. I have this Tita where she believes that women should still settle for a relationship even if she was treated poorly. She said that it's natural for men to be irresponsible and engaged in vices. She stated that men would never change so we need to adjust as a woman. At first, I didn’t understand why she said that but then I realized that’s how she was taught as a child- to always act submissive to men because they provide for the family.
But that was basically 50 years ago, women are slowly gaining their positions in society. We have working moms, whose duty does not end after her work. My mom was one of those people. I believe Tita was being unreasonable for that specific belief, but I cannot judge her because it was the way our Lola taught her.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
I believe that one should always be respectful and open for discussions. That does not only apply to the guidance counselors but also to those clients. We always have a stand in an argument, and I believe that one should not be overwhelmed by his/her stand. We should always be open to criticism and mistakes, because I believe that’s a pleasant way for us to grow individually. In identifying false beliefs/knowledge I think that consent is very important, the guidance counselors should explain the situation politely not in a way that he/she is asserting dominance to the client. I think patience and kindness are necessary because it’s hard to open up to someone especially with heavy topics like beliefs and knowledge. Then I think that the client should be open for the discussion, open for the possibility of his/her own mistakes. The client should always be respectful and know that making a mistake is okay- we do not need to be harsh to ourselves for making mistakes. It was Prof. Lucena’s word that people change, so I think with proper and continuous guidance from mentors it will greatly impact one’s beliefs and Morals in life. In my opinion, a person can be easily persuaded by an older person especially if he/she is professional. I believe that with those qualities respect is easily earned.

I was young when I first saw a colorful arc figure up in the sky. I always see this sightly figure whenever it is raining while the sun is out. I started to ask my parents about this figure appearing from above. They said that it was a guide for us (people) to locate the pot of gold buried by male fairies. However, when I asked my science teacher about this colorful figure they called “rainbow”. It is not the same as what my parents taught me. My teacher said that a rainbow was a result of the refraction and reflection of light while entering a droplet of water. She also added that there is no such thing as a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow because in the first place, the rainbow is like a round circle. Not an arc.

Once the lockdown began last year, my family took the virus seriously right away and felt like most of the people in our community and friends were doing the same. However, lately, I have witnessed one of my school mates during high school is not following health protocols for COVID-19. She started opposing what is being taught by the government. She firmly believed that COVID-19 is not true and not fatal as what the reports are saying.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
Managing clients with faulty knowledge may be challenging for most of the guidance counselors. It takes a variety of characteristics to be an effective counselor. To be able to accurately assess people with such faulty knowledge, a counselor should actively listen to their clients. He or She should remember to listen first and ask questions later with a warm and approachable attitude. Listening is a crucial trait for any counselors to possess. Listening will eventually build a communication between the client and the counselors. Through this, the guidance counselor would be able to constantly perceive his/her client’s standpoint and assess it professionally with a whole understanding.

1. What are the things that you hold as true when you were young but is not? What made you realize that it was wrong?
One of the most notable belief that I hold as true during my childhood years is applying saliva to wound can heal it faster. I once trip while playing causing me to have a wound. Having my older cousins around me as playmate, they told me to apply saliva directly to the wound to disinfect and heal it. Being young and naive, I obeyed. The logic is that since saliva is part of our own bodily fluids, it will help to quickly closed and clean the wound. I believe in this practice not until I was old enough to study the concept of applying basic first aid. When first aid was introduce, that’s when I realized that a simple water and soap could be a solution and thousands of bacteria in saliva could lead to worst consequences like infection.

Since I was young, my older relatives often warns me to never touch a pure black cat since it will bring bad luck. As a cat lover, I’m not fully convince that’s why I never really take their warning seriously. I once owned a pure black cat but nothing bad really happened. I know that superstitious beliefs are part of our culture but sometimes they are questionable. How can a color of a cat became its stigma? Another things is about the butterfly. Black means death while brown means money. Even now, they still believe these superstitions and sometimes convince younger generations to agree.
3. What should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
Being guidance counselor requires a lot of patience, understanding, and must be a very good listener. Every people are different and there’s a little to non similarities between them that’s why counselor should know how to approach in different yet effective ways. If counselor forcibly tries to shove facts to the client, the chance of it being accepted is little to none. Why would people suddenly change their beliefs just because of someone else’s opinion? Correcting someone comes with fragility of being untrusted if approached in a wrong way. Therefore, the best way is to present facts and evidence in a convincing manner without offending the client’s opinion.

When I was a kid, like eight years old, I used to believe that moon is moving and following me wherever I go. Every time I look in the sky, the moon is always there. One time when my father and I are going home from school, I ask him a question regarding "Why the moon is always following me?". My father answered that the moon is always watching kids, like me, until they get home safely. I grew up believing that the moon is observing and protecting every child as they go home. However, when I asked my teacher in Science in grade six the same question I asked my father, I learned the truth. The moon seems like following us because it is too far away from us. So, every time we look up to the sky moon is always there. Learning the truth makes me amazed rather than being disappointed towards my father. Also, I am not mad at what my father said because I feel relieved and safe whenever I go home, alone, when I was a child.

Back when I was in senior high school, we had a professor in our Work Immersion, where she firmly believed that there was a ghost in our school. She told us a story that every time she entered the school first, she sensed that there is always a ghost walking behind her in the dark. That is why she turns on all the lights in our school. And also, she told us a story that every ghost has a different level of strength and they train for them to be stronger. For example, level one ghost is a normal ghost, and then level two ghost is a ghost that can touch things and/or people. Honestly, she told us multiple ghosts story based on her experiences. I, myself, would like to believe in what she said because besides on being our teacher, she is the Head of Science and Math in our school and she is like the assistant of our dean. But in the end, I never believed her stories because I supposed that ghosts do not exist and it is just in our minds.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
Being a guidance counselor means you need to be a good listener. Listening to your clients' belief will make the client feel open and more comfortable about things he/she need to say. Next is you need to be patient, as long as the client is not yet finished explaining his/her false beliefs and faulty knowledge, you do not want to cut him/her off or to speak up immediately. Then being knowledgeable is also a must, because you need to correct the misbelief that your client possesses, that is why you need to know a lot of things for you to decide quickly on how to solve the client's dilemma. And lastly, be calm and sensitive whenever you consult the client, for him/her to slowly realize the mistake in his/her beliefs and to accept the truth entirely.

When my sister and I were younger, we thought the world was much smaller than it is. Our entire geographical sense of what was beyond this city was skew. Maybe that's because we were just inside our house, we never experienced playing outside. While we enjoyed looking at maps and picture books of other nations, we never really acquired a feeling of scale or distance. Our geographical vision of the world has become more realistic as we have aged. We still struggle to fully comprehend how massive locations like the United States and Russia are.

My grandfather died in the year 2019. Before he died, we always brought him to the hospital to check about his conditions. But we always got the same results about his condition that he is normal and okay. Until one day, he felt ill. His stomach and lungs are hard as a rock. Again, we immediately brought him to the nearest hospital to got first aid about his condition. They give him first aid yet, the results about his condition are still the same. That's why one of my uncle's decisions was to bring him to one of the faith healers or "albularyo" My aunts did not believe in faith healers until she found out the cause of my grandfather's illness, which can only be seen by faith healers.

With the client, the counselor should cultivate a respectful and understanding connection. This therapeutic interaction successfully involves the client in working toward mutually established treatment goals, reducing resistance.
The counselor should assist clients in working through ambivalence by assisting them in identifying inconsistencies between their objectives and values and their substance use. Involving clients in activities like support groups is also beneficial.

The things that I hold as true when I was young is, when my parents said I would be Pinocchio or my nose would grow long if I lied. I was nervous, then, every time I lied because of the mysterious nose enlargement. So as a result, I am able, to tell the truth despite the sins I have committed. I held on to that belief throughout my childhood. Until I realized when I was matured, that it was just superstition of our parents so that in our lives, we could be disciplined and honest every time. Special thanks to the friends, parents, and teachers who have been instrumental in shaping my knowledge regarding the behaviors and attitudes I should have.

This topic exactly defines and describes the situation and behavior of my auntie. Every week, she does not miss her wanderings. She is not afraid of the possible threat of COVID-19, because she believes that it can be treated in the traditional medication. She was my aunt, the oldest of the siblings on my mother’s side. She is currently working in the factory. But despite this, at the age of 60, she was prone to illness, The probability that she is the most susceptible to COVID-19 disease is very likely. The COVID-19 is so indiscriminate that any person, woman or man, old or young, can contract this type of disease. And to make matters worse, she may even catch the virus outside and infect the people in the house she is visiting because of her negligence and stubbornness.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
I think the attitudes that the guidance counselors have are inquisitive, patient, understanding, communicative, wise in giving advice, and good at decision making. In the investigation, the guidance counselor should be calm in throwing questions to avoid the intimidation of the client. And if you find that the client is guilty of what happened, you should just understand it and let him/her continue sharing the story. Be smart in communicating and giving advice. Don’t raise your voice or shout at your client, instead give them words of wisdom. And then you decide carefully what is most appropriate that you can do with your client so that they will doubt their own beliefs. The best example is to give them questions that you think will make your client realize deeply, and will lead them to change the course of their lives.

When I was a child, I used to believe what my elders told me about swallowing a seed from fruits or vegetables. They say I’ll have the trees growing inside my stomach. As a kid, it is natural for you to believe what the elders tell you. This ‘seed belief’ of mine caused me to be extra cautious when eating fruits or vegetables with seeds. Growing up, I realized that seeds can’t be a tree inside the stomach because the conditions inside the body are not right for plants to grow. I can still remember how I asked my science teacher in grade school about this topic. “Teacher totoo po bang may tutubong puno sa tiyan ko kapag nakalunok po ako ng buto?”, I asked my teacher like a very innocent child. As I grew up, it all made sense to me. My elderlies just want me to be extra careful when eating fruits vegetables with seeds as there might be a choking hazard. Right now, as an adult I realized I was so innocent back then, only trusting what the adults say.

Back in my junior high school years, I really had a very long hair. It is also in my junior years when my grandfather died. Of course, we were teenagers that year and we are asked by our other relatives to stay up all night at my grandfather’s wake. One time, my cousins and I are playing cards and I got irritated by my long hair, I had to comb it. My grandmother, grandpa’s wife, caught me combing my hair and tapped my hand. She said, “Bakit ka nagsusuklay sa lamay? Masama yan!”. She said I am inviting more bad luck to ruin my family and personal luck for the future. She is very superstitious.

As a guidance counselor, you should have loads of patience and understanding, and you must be a good listener. The guidance counselor must decipher and connect every word his/her client share in order to fully understand what the client is trying to implicate. This, of course would also require discretion. Confidentiality is of utmost importance when you are a counsellor. Extend compassion, empathy, and open-mindedness as these are few of the essential characters a counsellor should possess.

1. Ever since I was a kid, I always thought that what others have then I should also have it, along with the trend. That's my mindset before because I'm still young and my brain isn't in the right frame of mind. When I want something, they must buy it, I keep on thinking of things that will satisfy my wants. Then, maturity comes along, my thinking gradually became better, I realized that I should not think only of myself but for the sake of all. I realized how hard it is to gain money and all I wanted back then was temporary happiness.
2. I know someone who believes that he/she is always right just because he/she is older and has a lot of experience with things. he/she always disregards our opinion whenever we argue about something, behaving like that may lead to having trust issues and other problems. Disregarding other’s opinion is bad for yourself because it stops you from seeing your wrongdoings and cease your improvement, you only see yourself as a perfect person. They should be open to accept other's opinion and understand that they may be wrong and correct their mistakes so that they can grow.
3. Guidance counselors should be more understanding and have a lot of patience when it comes to clients who have faulty beliefs and knowledge. They should listen to them and persuade them by saying the truth, they will be hard to persuade at first and thus give them examples on what they should do, and that they should try to listen and understand other people’s belief.

1. When I was a child I used to believe that older people are always right, when I say older people what I mean is my parents, grandparents, uncle, auntie and my teachers. I believed that they are always right in all aspect because they are evaluating by experience and I used to believe that "experience is a great teacher" and the fact that they have a lot more life experience than the younger ones. I also think that because older people always assume that they are more knowledgeable than younger ones because they have more experience in life. As my relatives grow older they always tend to tell me that I should always do the things that may help myself to grow as a person, that I should follow their own cultural beliefs, opinions, perception in life and etc. Yes, sometimes I usually found that my elders ended up being right but not most of the time. Suddenly, I realize that they are not always right, but I'm not saying that I disrespect their opinions; beliefs or what so ever, what I'm trying to say is that they should respect my own decision, opinion and perception in life. I wanted to become more independent, I don't want to rely on what they always said. What I want is to develop myself to have my own experience to mold my self-concept in life and that exactly makes me unique to others. However it doesn’t mean doing the opposite of what they said is wrong either, in the end it is always my decision that matters. It is always me who decide to do what I want and what is right for me.
2. I remember back in High school my cousin had a dream and she saw herself as a cat that always walking around the corner of a creepy house trying to go inside and see something very related to her(cat), she said that the cat is always looking for the help but no one try to help because the house was really creepy, but then one day someone saw the cat crying and she tried to help the cat to go inside using the attic and then they finally made it, the most shocking moment is that she saw herself in a picture frame and there's a name Cheska (I'm sorry I forgot the exact details). Now my cousin always believed that reincarnation is possible, and maybe she is a cat in her past life. Some religious believes that the essence of the human being survives after the death of the body and is reincarnated into another object, body or some weird stuff. In philosophy the afterlife is known as a purported existence in which the essential part of an individual's identity or their stream of consciousness continues to live after the death of their physical body. However it still doesn't affect my religious and personal beliefs because I have my own faith that helps me to shape my own self-reliance and makes me more reasonable. For me reincarnation is confusing because of the fact that I don't really know my past or if I really have a past life then there's this feeling that one day I have a chance to know my life before.
3. Being a guidance counselor requires you to have a strong patience, wide range of understanding, respect and kindness. It helps you to become a good listener and to know the importance of interaction to other people that help you to mold your own self-concept that will identify your own beliefs. Counselors should open to the possible outcome of the situations, they should carefully listen first, whether you agree or not you should be more professional and educate them if necessary because in the end, everyone's beliefs deserves to be respected at all. Being counselors is responsible on understanding the problems of their clients and provides a proper advice that will lead them to shape their own beliefs in life. Lastly, calmness will help the situations to have a better communication and understanding.

When I was a kid, I honestly believed that a tree might grow in my stomach when I eat the seed of a fruit. Back then, while our family’s having a meal, and I was eating a fruit that time, I asked my parents what would happen if I ate the seed of the fruit. There they told me that I cannot eat the seed because a tree will grow in my stomach. In addition, I knew when I was young that seeds grow when they are watered, which made me realize that maybe a tree will really grow in my stomach because I drink water everyday, and that’s one reason that made me believe it more. Later on, I have learned from school that there would be no tree formed in my stomach when I accidentally eat a fruit seed.

3. What should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
A good and effective guidance counselor must be a good listener, good communicator, and requires a lot of patience. He or she must listen first to the explanation of his or her client’s false beliefs and faulty knowledge, and then gradually give his or her client an explanation to correct the client’s false beliefs and faulty knowledge, and make him or her understand the right thing by citing best examples and various situations that would make the client realize the truth in a good and unoffensive way. This may be difficult and challenging for the counselor, but making his or her client believe what is true would really make a big difference.

1. When we were young, we were made to believe that when we go outside, someone would grab us and sell our organs, so I grew up with padlocked gates. My playmates would always be my siblings and cousin, but every weekend, my mom would let our neighbors to play with us after finishing all our assignments and tutoring lessons. When we moved back to our old home here in Balara, I realized that it wasn't really true. I could actually play outside, as long as its in our neighborhood and with a supervision of someone. Also, I learned that being cautious of my surroundings would help to be safe from danger.
2. I have a neighbor, a retired security guard, who is anti-vaccine. He believes that it is unnecessary and it would that the people who got vaccinated would die earlier. Whenever he sees anti-vaccine 'posts' from Facebook, he would tell our neighbors, warn and sometimes force us not to get a jab. For me, telling your own opinion is good, but forcing someone to believe it while your basis is just some Facebook post that did not proceed to any research is not fine. We live now in modern science, and there were many researches made about vaccines to help us recover from this pandemic. Spreading words that was seen in social media without any supporting facts is crucial for one's beliefs.
3. The profession of a guidance counselor is not easy. It requires a lot of patience, clear understanding, unbiased way of thinking, ideas, beliefs, and opinions. In identifying a client's false belief and faulty knowledge, a guidance counselor should be able to inquire first and understand the reason why that client believes in it. After then, give the client proofs or evidences why that certain belief or knowledge is false. Explain it in a professional but humbly manner. The counselor should also observe the client's reaction on his words to make sure the client understands it well.

One of the things I used to believe as a child but no longer do is that if I accidentally swallowed any kind of fruit seed, my mother would tell me that it would grow into a three inside my stomach. When that happens to me, I remember panicking and crying. Despite the fact that it made me cry, I would still tease my brother whenever he inadvertently swallowed fruit seeds. I'm not sure how I realized it wasn't true since I don't really remember much about it, but I'm guessing my mother told me after a few minutes of crying that she was just messing with me.
2. What apparent knowledge that someone you know is holding on but is not reasonable? Identify the belief and the occupation of the person.
One of the apparent knowledges that someone I know holds is that admitting your mistakes is a sign of weakness, and that instead of admitting it, you should blame someone else or cover it up. However, I believe that admitting your mistake is an ethical thing to do because you are being honest not only to others, but also to yourself. Admitting your mistakes and asking for help from others demonstrates that you are eager to learn and fix the mistakes that you have caused.

I think some of the most important attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients would be being open-minded, patient as well as trustworthy. I think having this three attitude can help you approach people having faulse beliefes. First off, being open-minded can really help you to understand better why and how a client come to believe such falty knowledge, and being patient, because as a councelor, we should be patient in terms of clients opening up to you, because not everyone is comfortable when it comes to opening up about themselves.. Lastly, being trustworthy, as a counselor it is important that your clients trust you, for you to be able to easily communicate with them.

I used to think that there is something down there that wants to kill me and eat me, then I would swim faster as I can to the other side of the pool to escape from them. But as I grew older, as an island girl, I am fond of swimming in the deep blue sea. That's why evertime I swim at the pool, I know there’s nothing in there and it is completely harmless.
2. Just a few days ago, I was waiting for our boat so I could go home. But while waiting, I overheard two men talking about the vaccine. Recently, our local government unit made a strict policy where an unvaccinated people will not go out of their homes for safety. People panicked before the lockdown, but these two said that vaccines are useless. They said that fever, colds, and cough are there even before this pandemic and it is curable by drinking ginger tea, doing steam inhalation, and etc. These two fishermen, sadly, doesn't believe in vaccines.
3. When handling clients that belives in false beliefs and faulty knowledge, counselors should have more patience and deep understanding towards their clients. And most importantly they should listen really carefully to the clients’ faulty knowledge so that they can be able to assess them successfully without making them feel wrong or senseless. When handling this kind of person, counselors should never sound like they know everything about anything. When teaching them sincerely about things, counselors should offer them choices of information to review to makit it a point to correct his false point of view.

During my childhood days, my parents did allow me to play lively games (Patintero, Chinese garter, Bente Uno) but, due to carelessness, I got a bruise every time I played. If that happens, I go to my mother to cry and seek her help to clean my wound. While cleaning, she often told me that the Pari will come out from my bruise while still bleedingI think that the “Pari” is a priest that will tell some prayers for my legs to be cut off. Since then, I have learned to be careful and watch my every movement to avoid scratches that might distract Pari. As time passes, everytime I’ve got wounds, I waited for the Pari to come out, but I never witnessed that. Which made me realize that the Pari thing is just a story, and maybe my parents create it because they do not want to see me hurt because of my clumsiness.

On every occasion, my mother always cooks “Pansit”. I asked her about why Pansit is always present at the table during New year, Christmas eve, birthdays, and other events in our lives. According to her, it is because of the long strand of pansit it makes our life longer. But, I doubted it, Pansit can never heal an individual if he/she has a disease and also doesn’t avoid accidents. I truly believed that even a healthy individual might die even at a young age and the pansit itself will never be a help when his/her time came.

A counselor should have patience, good listener, and have respect for their clients’ beliefs. Making a conclusion too early of someone will never be a help, so I highly suggest that counselors should be asked his/her clients before doing the action. A Counselor should also have the quality of presence of mind, don’t speak if you do not have a background about your client and explanations or the scientific basis on certain beliefs.

When I was a kid, I used to have wounds and scratches all around my leg for falling a lot for the reason of non-stop playing. One rainy day, my older brother decided to teach me how to ride a bike in front of our house. The road was very muddy because of the rain. I easily grasp on riding the bike without the support at the back of my brother and after a few minutes of riding a bike, my brother provoked me to use one hand if I am truly good at biking, and then that's how I got my one big each wound of my knees and scratches all over my legs. My mother told me that if I have such a big wound (specially an open wound) there will be a priest going out and will drag me to hell. Hearing that makes me very cautious in my every move and more careful in order to avoid having cuts or injuries.
I was playing with my friends "agawan base" and one of my friend tripped and got a cut in his knees and arms, then I tell him about the priest that will come out to his cut and drag him to hell and I said that we should go to your father to protect us in time the priest comes out. Everyone laugh at me and said why would I believe in such ridiculous impossible thing to happen. But I still believe what my mother told me until the night comes, nothing came out from his wound :> and that's when I realized that my mother only want me to prevent having wounds.

My mother is totally against the covid-19 vaccine. She fears that it has a side effects of which harmful to the person who'll be injected by it. She comes from a family who has a lot of beliefs, like about dreaming something and it has a meaning. Since my elder brother works at the LBC, they are required to get vaccinated in order to continue serving the company. After getting vaccinated he felt really ill, to the point that he can't walk by himself. The belief of my mother got worsen and forbid us to be vaccinated. I have 2 sister and they are a teacher who are already vaccinated and they are both basically fine. I know that she only cares about us but in the worst scenario, it can be the reason to put our life in danger since we don't have protection against the rampaging virus.

The guidance counselor should respect the rights of a client to speak and listen to them first even if it is clearly known that they are wrong. Let the client speak all they want to say and after that, begin to ask a question little by little and throw some facts about the issue until they finally realized what is wrong in their beliefs.

A guidance councilor should be a good listener and a critical thinker. In able to identify the real problem in your client, you should be attentive about his life and decide properly about the situation. On the other hand, a guidance councilor can persuade the client through telling him or her what might happen if he will still cling on that wrong belief. Also, enumerate to him what are the implications in his life believing that kind of belief.

When I was young, I already want to be an adult because I believe that life is easier when you are an adult. You can decide on your own, you can live on your own, and you'll have plenty of money but now that I am becoming an adult, it made me realized that being an adult is hard.

An exact example of this is the situation of my friend's grandparents. They believe that medicine doesn't cure any illness thus making it worse. His grandparents are at ages 75 and 77. Their children are financially capable of following the doctor's prescription but they only want to treat their illness with herbal medicine. Herbal medicine is will not contribute to the illness but it would be better if the illness would be treated with the doctor's prescribed medicines.

A guidance counselor should know how to listen and acknowledge what the person feels about a certain situation. Counselors must analyze the situation and explain it briefly to the person to be able to understand. And, then that’s the time that the counselor will come up with a solution on the current situation of the person. Use appropriate words and tone to deliver the message to avoid provoking them. Being able to do so will prevent any misunderstanding.

When I was young, I believed that the tooth fairy was real. My parents would always tell me that when I lose my teeth, I should place it underneath my pillow before I sleep, and then the tooth fairy would visit me at night and replace it with a big shiny gold coin. But when I woke up, it was still there. Because of this, I tried doing it again and decided not to sleep and wait for the tooth fairy to come. But in the end, there is no appearance of the tooth fairy, and because of this experience, I realized that the tooth fairy is not real and the big shiny gold coin.

Being a guidance counselor is known to be a good listener, patient, understanding, observant and putting the self in the client's shoes. Because this would make the client comfortable. With the condition of the client with false beliefs and faulty knowledge I think that the counselor must know and learn the client beliefs, explain the facts in a good way, give some examples and scenarios if necessary and also share your experiences to the client. This may be a long process but in the end both parties understand each other.

Approaching in the most humble and respectful way is the best way to do in this kind of situation. For me, it is important to make them feel first that you respect their beliefs and you have nothing against on it. And slowly share your beliefs in the most persuasive way by presenting evidence or proofs to the point that it can make them believe what you believe in.

1. When I was younger, I always love to eat sweets, snacks, and drink different sodas. I was a big junkie-eating-person and I’ve lived my childhood unhealthily which caused me several tooth decays. So, my baby teeth were literally gone when I turned 7 or 8. And I remember my parents would always tell me to put the decayed tooth under my pillow so I will receive gifts the next day I wake up. And as a kid who loves presents, I tend to be so exhilarated, but I ended up getting nothing, so I came to realize that my fantasy for tooth fairies is not true at all.
2. Since it’s still pandemic, I would have to go with the idea of my neighbor who is an employee of a particular company, to not get vaccinated since other workers like them work at home. For they think it is less probable to get infected by the virus. However, I believe it’s not reasonable that even our current work environment is our house, every household can still be vulnerable and by that it would be even more alarming and increase the rate of infection throughout the surroundings since they did not get the vaccine which aims to prevent the virus from coming in you in the first place. Consequently, with this kind of mindset and unfortunate luck, it had put their surrounding at risk, including us, for they tested positive of Covid.
3. In my opinion, aside from being professional and very critique in addressing these kinds of problems, extending their understandings and the ability to relate with empathy would work. As a guidance counselor, it’s part of their core to maximize their potential of relating and understanding their clients’ problems or adversities. And I think this kind of approach will work effectively. Thus, it will also help them to provide proper guidance and advice. And who knows? We might still find the goodness on one person and its ability to adapt and change.

1. When I was I child, I will always play outside with my friends like playing “taya-tayaan”, “agawan base”, “tumbang preso’ and etc. but sometimes when we are always playing this game, I always get a wound on my knees and elbow. My mother regularly angry to me and she always told me that “may lalabas na pari sa sugat mo” and, that time I am so scared and I cried a lot because I think that this is truth. When I grow up and have the right mind to think, I realize that this thought of my mother about my wound is not true, and this always an unforgettable moment of my childhood days.
2. I remember the day that I told my father to wear his face mask before he goes outside to buy some essential needs, but he told me why I should wear facemask if the street children didn’t wear anything some protection against in Covid-19. I realized that why the street children or “taong grasa” they are not affected by the Covid-19 even though they are in a public place without any social distancing. We all know that the virus is easily spread, when one of the person is affected and he/she goes outside like going to the places with many people go. I realized that it depends on the people whether they believe it or not in this pandemic, because for me they believe it based on their experience.
3. I understand that we were raised with certain ideas, sentiments, beliefs, methods of thinking, attitudes, views, biases, prejudices, and values. We've grown accustomed to utilizing them when confronted with issues in our daily lives, even when they're not effective in assisting us in finding a good, growth-enhancing response. For example, about yourself and sometimes you think that you are so clumsy that I'll never be able to solve a problem like this and no one cares about anyone else. To persuade someone with this condition, you must first understand their situation. When communicating about their circumstances, focus on the other person's requirements and keep an eye out for indicators of uncertainty or misunderstanding in facial expressions or body language.

When I was young, I thought that academic success means success in life. But now, it made me realize that I was wrong, because life goes beyond the four corners of a classroom, and your achievements in school does not guarantee you a successful future, it can only be a training ground where you must do well so that you will not be left out when you face the real challenges of life ahead.

My mother has taught me to always say "Tabi-tabi po" every time I pass a "punso" or if I went to the forest or different places where in there are big trees since I was a youngster. It was only afterwards that I realized it wasn't real, and that creatures like nunos and dwarfs or “enkantos” are not real too. Nonetheless, my mother insisted that we should always say tabi-tabi po just in case they really exist in this world. In addition to that, they also said that those dogs that howl at night are aware or seeing supernatural beings such as aswang or tiktik, and that the souls of the dead are lingering around. My parents and my grandparents continued to believe those things, even though such belief is irrational and absurd. My mother is a housewife and at the same time dressmaker, and my grandparents are retired, and I think they believe such things because we lived in province.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
I think guidance counselors must be calm especially when it comes to approaching children, composed, possess respect, patience, and more importantly a good listener and considerate of other people's emotion. They should possess such attitudes even though their clients go beyond their expectations in believing such unreasonable beliefs. They should also do their own research about the client’s knowledge to broaden their understanding for them to know if the client’s information is wrong or right. In addition, guidance counselors must not be one sided or bias because they should listen in every situation that the clients talk about, and they should give guidance or advice that may result to the best understanding of the clients.

I know that guidance counsellors have a lot to offer when it comes to understanding what a person goes through. Empathy, compassion, patience, and encouragement are few of the characters they should possess. They must learn how to delve deeper into what his/her client shares and understand what the client has been going through. Guidance counsellors must be patient at all times, especially when the client is processing the discussion. Most importantly, compassion. It is essential that clients must sense that the counsellor truly cares about them. Even at times counsellors cannot be able to relate to a client’s experience, what is important is the counsellor is able to have compassion for how it feels to be in their shoes.

When I was young, elders told me that whenever you jump at exactly 12 am of January 1 (New Year), there's a tendency that your height will increase. As years passed by, I've realized that I'm too gullible to do that kind of thing. But who knows, right? I was too young back then that such way of thinking got stuck in my mind, but atleast my perception of that have changed. The height or other traits of a person depends on the genes that passes through generation.

The counselor should address the issues properly by having a long patience to clarify the wrong statements. If both anger (counselor and client) arise, then it isn't a good idea to prolong the discussion.

1. When I was a child, every time the New Year came, at exactly twelve o'clock in the morning, our elders said that we should jump as high as we would because they believed that doing it would make the kids become taller. The higher you jump, the taller you’ll grow. I believed in them because I was just a child and I continued to do that until I grew up. That belief stuck in my mind and I also told that to my friends and we do it together every time the New Year comes. I grew taller, but I learned that a person's height is not because they jump on New Year's Eve but because of the hormones in their body. I also realized that my belief was not true because some of my friends who jumped with me didn't grow taller. I think that belief is a way to celebrate the New Year with energy and wake up from drowsiness.
2. One of my friends believes that if a human is swearing, it means he/she is a bad person. I agree that saying bad words is not right, but it does not mean that when you swear you are a bad person. It's just surprising that he doesn't swear and always tells us that we are bad because we used to say bad words, but he is always doing bad things, not in words but in action. He always lies and sometimes he doesn’t respect some people. It doesn’t mean that if you speak kindly, you're a kind person. It is still good to be kind in action, just like helping others in hand, rather than being kind in words but not taking action on what is being said.
3. I believe that guidance counselors must be good listeners and be patient with what the clients want to say and understand. They should be respectful towards their clients to make the conversation good and able to solve the problem calmly and easily. They should address the clients about what they are going to do and explain the truth in detail with proof and evidence.

As time passes, my adolescent comes and my curiosity little by little had been changed, when I was in my elementary, my science teacher taught to us that the moon is visible for everyone in the evening and it is above on us that is why we think that it followed us.

Councilor should have calmness, peace of mind and critical thinking to decide a good decision and approach. It is hard to change other perspective snd knowledge but when they are wrong it should bot be tolerated situationally, little by little someone can change by proper approach. Calmness for that situation is significant, anger or short temperred should not be put at the first place.

1. What are the things that you hold as true when you were young but is not? What made you realize that it was wrong?
There are a lot of things that I used to believe in when I was young, but that one particular thing that impacted me a lot was my belief in religion. There are a lot of religions and versions of bibles telling us that there is a God for everything. Creating images which contradicts the commandments of their beliefs which made me question it. I’m not saying that I don’t believe in a creator, my own belief is that some of these beliefs are contradicting. I still believe that something or someone placed us in a world to fulfill our own purposes in life. We all must come from something or anything, right? I choose to believe that we came from something that made us to who we are today, and we are the ones responsible for the future we are going to be living in. It may be the plan of our creator, but it is still up to us to make the decisions that will make up our future.
2. What apparent knowledge that someone you know is holding on but is not reasonable? Identify the belief and the occupation of the person.
There are people I know who are very religious, but they support some people who defy their own morals. I don’t want to point out specific people or mention names, let’s just say that the person he is supporting is someone well known for the way he is leading the country. This person who is very religious is a pastor, I’m well aware that his occupation is something where you will be close to God. I find him odd for being so dedicated in serving, but still choose to support someone who contradicts his own beliefs. It’s stated in the “Ten Commandments” that “thou shall not kill”, yet this person who he supports is a mass murderer? He may not be the one who pulled the trigger, but he is the one who ordered the people to do so. I just find it unreasonable for someone to be so religious, but support someone who contradicts his own beliefs.
3. What are should be the attitude of guidance counselors in identifying false beliefs and faulty knowledge of clients? How to approach persuasively a person with this condition?
In many cases, guidance counselors mainly resort to punishments which somehow triggers the rebellion of the client. I think, it is important that guidance counselors manage to view the background of the client including his history to fully grasp the situation. Thus, it would be easier to provide an approach of which the client would best be persuaded. In other words, the approach may vary from client to client rather than a fix approach which may not apply to everyone.
