assistance needed.

degree of commitment by the partners.
In linkage, the relationship between partner
organizations is quite loose, while in
networking, it is much stronger, usually because
the groups and agencies have common
objectives and beneficiaries. Networking is
basically extending the outreach of the
resources in different ways so as to increase the
effectiveness of the program.

of the network are able to share resources
with one another.
• A network is composed of several institutions
(consortium) of several colleges of different
universities that bind together for a common
goal.

(Family Code)
1. Family relations exist among the relatives
aforementioned even if they are not living
together.
2. Other relatives like cousin, nephews, nieces
and domestic helpers who grew up and are
living together with the family are members of
the household but not of the family.

family.

19. STRATEGIC ANALYSIS
Strategy
- from Greek work “Strategia”, meaning skills
possessed by generals and are necessary to win
battles
Analysis
- careful study of each part of a whole and
understanding how each part and their
relationships with each other result in the
world.

20. Strategic Analysis
- involved examination and evaluation of
strengths, weakness, opportunities, threats,
environments and resources, with the purpose
of drawing up a strategy from the results of
the analysis to achieve certain goals over time.
- the use of Logic

21. SWOT ANALYSIS
- an incredibly simple, yet powerful tool to help
you develop your strategy.
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, and Threats.

23. Strengths and Weaknesses—internal things
that you have some control over and can
change.
Opportunities and Threats — are external,
things that are on the outside. You can take
advantage of opportunities and protect
against threats, but you can’t change them.

24. Example:
Choosing which school to enroll in college
Use strategic analysis
- personal interest
- courses available
- strengths and weakness of the school
- capacity to pay
- distance
- etc.

25. INTUITIVE THINKING
- the kind of thinking that helps you understand
reality in the moment, without logic or analysis.
There's no language involved in it, either. It's
entirely about signs and sensations. Most of the
time, it goes against whatever we might think of
as “rational”. It is more of familiarity and
experience.

26. Intuition
- is a form of knowledge that appears in
consciousness without obvious deliberation.
Hunches (“kutob”) are generated by the
unconscious mind rapidly sifting through past
experience and cumulative knowledge.
- Not a result of a process of analysis and
deliberation but that of quick and reflexive
thinking to give immediate response.
