MISSION 3
Read these paragraphs from Diosdado Macapagal's speech "Call for National Discipline" and identify the speaker's purpose. Then, underline the words that show his purpose.

1. I would like to confine myself to a discussion of the second objective, with particular emphasis on the importance of national order and discipline as a vital factor in its achievement.

Speaker's purpose:

2. The war and occupation, which inflicted such a grievous injury on the spirit and character of our people, have been over now for fifteen years. We must therefore stop blaming the war and occupation for the continuing moral sickness of our nation.

Speaker's purpose:

3. I call upon them resolutely to turn their backs on this rotten heritage of shame. I call upon them to lay down, once and for all, this hardened indeference to moral values. I call upon them to foreswear the smug rationalizations and ingenious tricks of conscience that have enabled so many to close their eyes to the glaring evils of our public and private life.
