Please read: local context. This edition is contextualized for Negros Occidental (Western Visayas): in the story, Tatay comes home from the sugarcane field (tubuhan), and the mother-tongue word suggestions are in Hiligaynon. The lesson design works anywhere; teachers in other regions only need to swap these local details and words. All files are editable in Word and PowerPoint.
