Module IV on PFA- SOURCES OF STRENGTHS
Rationale
The aim of this module is to encourage you to revisit your strengths in order to
support your self-efficacy
to deal with their situation. In order to encourage a hopeful outlook, the module serves
to reinforce sources of support and internal and external resources.
Activity: Ang Saranggola at Ako
Objectives: By the end of this module, you should be able to
• Identify personal, social, and emotional sources of strengths during and in the
aftermath of the
• disaster/stressful situation
• Identify your internal and external sources of strength
Materials: markers/crayons, pen and paper
Introduction
Hi! During the first day, we discussed validating and normalizing our feelings. Last
Tuesday, we talked about how to calm down and manage our feelings. Yesterday, we
talked about our needs and how to address them. How are you today? You just have
one last module to do before you reach the end of these PFA sessions. Today, we will
focus on your sources of strength. This is our way of reminding that you have
resources within yourself or with others that have allowed you to begin to face the
new normal-your process of recovery.
On the next page is a drawing of a kite or what we call a saranggola.(You may print or
draw the kite on a separate sheet of paper.) Another name for it is, Guriyon or
Bulador. Among the Cebuanos, it is called Banog-Banog. In Pangasinan, it is called
Burarol. Can you tell me what makes it go up in the air? You are right, it needs the
wind to go up in the air. What can make it strong enough to not break by air? It needs
good needs a strong brace. It needs good material. It needs a line or a long string. The
paper must be properly glued. And it needs a strong brace.
Just like a kite, you too have what it takes to fly. On each part of the kite’s diamond,
Kindly write down what you think are your sources of strength. What makes you
strong despite what you have gone through during the past few months of pandemic?
An example would be, “ang pagiging matatag, buo ang loob, masayahin, at may
tiwala sa sarili.”
Can you also identify what or who acts like the wind for you? Who provides you with
support? Who or what helps you soar? On the areas outside the kite, write down the
names of these people or things that act like the wind for you.
Take time to color your drawing. Below it, write a brief explanation about your
sources of strength and the people and things who act like the wind to help you fly or
soar.

Given to each part of my coloured kite are my sources of strength:
1. My Perseverance, my power to persevere everyday chores in the house or
even assignments from school amidst the pandemic.
2. My Hope, by believing and trusting the scientists or experts that are uniting
with each other to make a successful and safe vaccine for the humankind and
hoping that this pandemic will end soon.
3. Spirituality (Faith in God), that for every lethal circumstance like this
pandemic, God will guide and help us find solutions to our problems and will
help us cope with this pandemic.
4. Creativity, this made me do things that I couldn't do when the pandemic wasn't
here. It helped me make a creative lifestyle that during this leisure time of
quarantine, I've been productive enough to do a lot of exploration of new
things, new hobbies, and even a new lifestyle!
The things/people that I listed who acts like the wind for me, who provides
support and helps me soar high are as follows: My Family (Father, Mother, and
Sister), my Aunts, Uncles, the scientists that give us hope in creating the vaccines, the
Authorities such as the Mayor and Polices, which helps us by enforcing organized
protocols and curated solutions for this pandemic, I also listed the Basic Necessities
(Food, Water, etc.) which is necessary for us to continue soaring, the Internet, which
also gives various information and entertainment during the pandemic and access
online platforms such as social media to help us communicate with our loved ones or
peers. Lastly, God, who guided my family and me and helped us survive this crisis up
God

Necessities

until now. Without all of these things, people, and God, I guess my kite wouldn't have
soared high.
ANALYSIS
What have you realized about yourself after drawing the kite?
I realized that I have so many sources of strength that allowed me to face this
new-normal amidst the pandemic. I also realized that those people/things contribute a
crucial role for me to continue facing this pandemic, just like the wind for the kite for
it to fly.
ABSTRACTION
How are you similar to the kite? What are your strengths as a person?
Like the kite analogy where it needs the wind that acts as a support for it to fly, I also
need those people, things, and God not to fly but to survive this pandemic/crisis. My
strengths as a person are as listed to the inside part of the kite and of which I would be
calling as my four primary sources of strength during this pandemic: a) Perseverance,
b) Hope, c) Creativity, and d) Spirituality.
APPLICATION
The next time you feel weak, imagine your saranggola in order to remind yourself
that you have a number of sources of strength? Finally, can you write a poem with
one stanza and 4 lines (isang saknong na may 4 na linya o taludtod ng tula) about
your sources of strengths?
Example: Ang Saranggola ko at Ako
Ang saranggola ko at ako
Parehong-pareho
Ako ay Matatag, Sya rin ay Matatag
Ako ay di Babagsak, sya din ay di babagsak
Tangayin man ng hangin
Hinding hindi matitinag!
Fly like a Kite
To be an optimistic man is like a kite which is soaring high
A man needs strengths for it to survive, just like a kite who needs its proper
build to be alive
A man also needs support for it to soar just like a kite who needs breezy wind
for it to take flight
A man is like a kite, fly like a kite.

CLOSING
Facing the mirror, read and recite out loud the poem you have written about your
sources of strength.
