2. Review
1. How can you describe the location of the Philippines based on different landmasses and bodies of
surrounding with it?
2. How does the distance of the different places in equator affects its climate?

3. Motivation
The class will watch a short music video of the song “Piliin mo ang Pilipinas”.
1. What are the different natural resources featured on the video?
2. How those natural resources help to boost the economic status of the Philippines?

1. From the graph, which of the following energy resources contributes the largest amount of
electricity? Which has the lowest?
2. Why do you think coal has the highest electricity capacity based on the graph?
3. How many percent of those natural resources were decreased last 2016 compare to the to 2015?

A. Activity
The class will be grouped into four (4). Each grouped was assigned to study and analyze the
given natural resources. The group presentation will follow.
NATURAL DESCRIPTION IMPORTANCE LOCATION
RESOURCES
G1 - Water resources
G2 - Soil Resources
G3 - Mineral Resources
G4 - Energy Resources
B. Analysis
1. How does our latitude position affect the water, soil resources, and biodiversity in the
country?
2. What mineral deposits do we have in the country? Where are they located and why only in
those places?
3. Given our location, what energy resources are available?
4. How can we help conserve natural resources so that future generations can also enjoy them?

C. Abstraction
 Water Resources
Watershed – an area of land on a slope which drains its water into a stream and its
tributaries (small streams that supply water to a main stream). A single watershed may
include combination of forest, grassland, marshes, and other habitats.
 Soil Resources
Soil covers the entire Earth. Temperature, rainfall, chemical changes, and biological
action act together to continuously form soil. Climate, expressed as both temperature
and rainfall effects, is often considered the most powerful
soil-forming factor.
 Mineral Resources
The important metallic minerals found in various parts of the Philippines include gold,
copper, iron, chromite (made up of chromium, iron, and other metals), nickel, cobalt,
and platinum. The most productive copper and gold producers in the Philippines are
found in Baguio, the province of Benguet, and
in Surigao-Davao areas. Major producers of nickel are in Palawan and Surigao.
 Energy Resources
 Hydrothermal Energy
 Geothermal Energy
 Solar Energy
 Natural Gas

D. Application
If you take a closer look to our country, you will realize that it has been endowed with a rich store
of material resources – fertile soil, forest, flora and fauna, marine resources and a generous supply
of freshwater. But our country’s natural resources are to be enjoyed by everyone. The government’s

role is to find ways by which all of its citizen will benefit from one way or another, when you grow
older, or even this time, would you like to help others learn how to utilize wisely the resources they
will gain access to?
