Exactly.
And when we say claim, it has its types.
Actually, there are three types of claim. So,
let’s start with its first type.

1. Claim of Fact. - Asserts that the condition

has existed, exists or will exist.

something; attempts to show that something is
wrong or right, moral/ immoral, beautiful or
ugly.
 3. Claim of Policy - Argues that something
should or should not be done, believed,
banned; argues for a course of action.

“Let us have a recap if you have understood
what we have discussed earlier. Who can
define to me if what is the meaning of a claim?

What is a claim again?

A claim persuades, argues, convinces,
proves, or provocatively suggests something
to a reader who may or may not initially
agree with you.

me analytically earlier and if you didn’t lie when
answered “yes ma’am” to all my questions. Get

carefully.
Let’s start.

Directions: Identify each statement below,

taken from or inspired by the previous text, as a
claim of fact, value, or policy.

1. National strength can only be built on

character.

2. The Filipinos of the pat became strong –

willed, earnest and adventurous by
necessity: they had to brave the seas, clear
the forest and erect towns and cities upon
the wilderness in order to establish
communities.

3. To insure the accomplishment of the task of

national spiritual reconstruction, we shall
formulate and adopt a social code that can
be explained in the schools, preached from
the pulpits, and taught in the streets and
plazas, and in the remotest corners of our
land.

4. Teachers are in the position to inculcate this

social code in the youth because they are in
the most contact with them during their
formative years at school.

5. LTFRB should be given the public an

advance notice about their fare hike. (Students will pass their papers.)
