7 Stories (Reflection) By: Ali Noel Tonga

The Creation of the World

This story is great that talks about ego.  Sometimes we can’t help ourselves if we are successful and become arrogant. The point is if we are successful, we should not invade others and be contented of what you have. Also we should not punish others if there are no evidence that the person has done something wrong like Bitoon, who was struck by lightning was innocent. Another thing is we also should not rush things or jump into conclusions and command people like Maisog who prays to a whale. We should always find out what things really are and not jump into conclusion.

The Great Flood

This story makes me sad because I have a bit similarity to Aponi-tolau.The lesson in this story is we should not get angry easily like Aponi-tolau. We should control our temper otherwise a quarrel will begin. We should also be kind and nice and we are in another man’s home.  Also if a friend has done something wrong, we should not defend them because crimes should pay. So if we have done something wrong, we should always apologize and ask for forgiveness. We should face the consequences otherwise there is no justice to the victims. Also we should always make sure that what we are doing are not affecting others like Aponi-tolau actions cause the dwellers of the land punished by Tau-mari-u.

The Legend of Mayon Volcano

This story kind of make me sad and happy at the same time because I already experienced courting a girl. The theme is here is jealousy. Sometimes people can’t control emotions they can become dangerous and attack happy couples. This story shows that some girls are not interested whether you are rich, handsome, athletic or smart. Girls are attracted to kind and heroic boys. That is why Magayon falls in love Panganoron who save her life. It also shows that love is so powerful that some people risk their lives just to have their love ones by their side.

The Legend of Maria Makiling

This epic is a good story for people that are courting girls. The lesson in this story is if the girl we are courting don’t love us, we should accept it. We should always be happy for the girls we love and not get obsessed with them. We should always wish them a happy life and not plot revenge because it is wrong and there will always be consequences. Jealousy is always going to be a danger in your life. We should always learn how to let go. Also revenge does not make us happy, it makes more miserable like Captain Lara and Joselito.

Tunkung Langit and Alunsina

This story makes me think before doing something that can change my life. In this story, it tells us that we should always have trust on someone we love, otherwise there will be consequences. We should also respect the privacy of our love ones. And if your love ones have done something wrong to you, we should always forgive them and control our temper or else we will regret it forever just like Tungkung Langit. Even though he made efforts to attempt in convincing Alunsina to come back, she never returned.

Indarapatra and Sulayman

This story inspired me to be brave and helpful. The lesson in this story is we should help others of someone in need like how Indarapatra and Sulayman help the people of Mindanao by killing the monsters that have destroyed their land. Also if someone is bullying you, we should learn to stand up for ourselves and not let them do what they want to do unto us and just ignore them like Indarapatra and Sulayman did to the monsters. Also if we help someone we feel happiness to the point that we feel that we are rewarded of happy thoughts.

Ibalon


This story helps me make wiser. It is good in many ways.  What I learned from this story is that I should always be brave if someone is bullying me and stand up to the bully. Also as an entrepreneur, if I have a goal I will not stop trying until the goal is achieved just like Handiong who never stops battling monsters until there is no left. Also the story taught me to make wise decisions and not rush things like how Bantong killed Rabot by observing the monster and being patient in making a move.
