Background
In this lesson, students will be introduced to different purposes and ways to express likes and dislikes. Afterwards, they will be shown how to formulate questions with Gusto and Ayaw.
Motivating Activity
Recipe Book Review. This part of the module introduces the students to the concept of expressing likes and dislikes. In this section, they will be encouraged to initially use their first languages to express themselves. Then, they will be introduced to ways of expressing this in Filipino.
Go over the recipe book that was created by the class from Module 11.
Ask the students if they have tried the food before or if it looked familiar to them. Go through the recipes one by one and ask them if it looks like something they would like to try or not. Have students respond with a thumbs up or down or a smiley face or not. Then ask what they like and don’t like about it.
Tell students today they will learn how to express “gusto” or “ayaw”.
Processing Activity
This is an introduction to the grammatical structure of a Gusto/Ayaw sentence. The following steps will also introduce the students to different ways gusto and ayaw are used which include: liking a person, liking a general object/idea, and expressing a want.
Introduce the following vocabulary
Gusto → like, want
Ayaw → dislike, does not want
Magkano → How much (cost) use numbers to answer
Ulam → dish (usually paired with rice)
Bayad → payment
Piso → Philippine currency (isang piso = one peso)

Open a “tinder powerpoint” with famous people and ask them whether they like or don’t like the picture.
Show the students the basic sentence structure for using Gusto/Ayaw when expressing a want. Go over the recipe book again and asks students to reach to the recipe entries with “Gusto ko ng ______ or Ayaw ko ng _______”
From the Recipe Book homework, assign the students into pairs and send them to break out rooms. They can go through the recipe book together and use the template for the first person to tell each other the dishes they don’t like.
For example: Gusto ko ng sisig, ayaw ko ng durian
After the breakout room activity,each student takes turns sharing what their partner likes and doesn’t like. This time they will use the third person.
For example: Gusto ni Tristan ang pagkain sa Mindanao. Gusto niya ng dinardaraan, ayaw niya ng kinilaw.
Culminating Activity
Constructing questions with Gusto/Ayaw and responses to them
Divide students into groups and ask them to plan a “boodle fight” or “salu-salo”
They will take turns asking each other what they want to include in the boodle fight. Encourage them to go to a supermarket store website like Seafood City or SM Supermarket and add items to the cart as they go.
For example:
Gusto ko ng Tilapia at ayaw ko ng Pompano.
Supplemental/Enrichment Activity
Watch the following video about Plato’s the Republic.
At around 6:40, it mentions that Plato believes strongly in the power of the written word to influence behavior. However, in spite of this, he still supported the ban of poets. This was only one of his many recommendations for an ideal state.
What do you like or not like about Plato’s concept of an ideal state? Use the gusto and ayaw models you learned in this module to express your opinions on what an ideal state or society should look like.
Gusto ko ang _________
E.g Gusto ko ang idea ng complete equality of the sexes
Ayoko ng ________
Ayoko ng pagbabawal ng mga libro at censorship ng musika.
If you were to build a new republic, what things would you like to include in your society? What things would you not like to include? You can use English if you do not know the terms in Filipino, or you may look them up using a dictionary.
Gusto ko ng justice sa law. / Gusto ko ng katarungan sa batas.
Ayaw ko ng traffic.
Gusto ko ng pagkakapantay ng kababaihan at kalalakihan.
