•1. Claim of Fact
–is a statement asserting that something has
existed, does exist, or will exist. It is not a fact;
it only claims to be a fact. Hence, the claim is
debatable whether it is true or false.
–Example: The Philippine Economy will bounce
back higher before the end of this year.

7. Three Types of Claims
•2. Claim of Value
• is a statement asserting something to be good
or bad or that something is better than the other
one or that something is more or less desirable.
•Example. The Game of Thrones is the best
movie of all time. Here, the claim is asserting
the value of the said movie as best than the
other movies

• 3. Claim of Policy
• is a statement urging that some conditions should exist,
or that something should be or should not be done. This
claim advocates the adoption of policies or courses of
