7 Stories (Reflection) By: Jane Paula Madelar

The Legend of Maria Makiling

          "Dahil Sa Pag-ibig"

Isang dalaga na nanggaling sa Laguna
Maria Makiling ang pangalan niya
Taglay ang kagandahan na wari'y naiiba
Sa mga tai ay para syang diwata

Pagiging mapagbigay at mabait ang kanyang taglay
Na kahit anumang meron siya ay kayang ialay
Na naging rason kung bakit siya nging makulay
Sa mata ng kalalakihan, siya ay diwatang tunay

Umibig si Maria sa lalaking kanya'y napusuhan
At sumabay sa agos ng pagmamahalan
Habang ang iba'y, nainggit sa natutunghayan
Kayat masamang balak ang kanilang pinagplanuhan.

Lalaking minahal ni Maria,ngayo'y nasawi
Dahil sa mapang-aping mga lalaki
Lubos na kalungkutan saata niya'y nawari
Kaya't galit sa puso sa kanya'y naghari.

Paghihiganti ang naging kasagutan
Sa kanyang isip na tila naguguluhan
Hanggang sa ngayon ay hindi matigilan
Pagmamahalan ng wagas ang naging dahilan.

Indarapatra at Sulayman

Fighting for the welfare of other people and believing in yourself is what the story convey. Indarapatra and Sulayman can be concluded as a great hero of Maguindanao. They offer their life for the sake of taking back the peaceful living of the community. This is what the youth must inherent. The readiness and having the capability to fight for the country. Hindrances are easy to deal with if we have perseverance and trust to ourselves that we can make a big change. Like Indarapatra and Sulayman, they started in a hard situation but later on they get their happiness in life. We, as a person and part of the community can make it even though we are experiencing problems but this is a challenge to be faced and solved. Sooner we can harvest the fruit of success just like the story ends. Fight for the good ones and think always that we can, to have confidence that we can conquer all.

The Creation of the World

The Creation of the World, a philippine literature talks about selfishness and greediness of Daga for the power he wants to have. It is a bad way of doing of getting more of what you have, being not contented that somehow your action can destroy everything. Consequences always follow, we must think before we act. Fame is not too important to a person who are contented of his/her existence. Just to have a happy family and have a descent standard of living is enough. Doing good things can make a good result not just for yourself but for others. Being greedy can mold you as a bad person, just be determined enough to make your life more colorful for your own sake.

Ibalon

The Bicol Epic, Ibalon talks about bravery and courage. It  portrays the love of his country that they offer themselves just to kill their enemies who are tend to destroy their living. Nowadays, the people must possess bravery to defend thier ownselves to some uncertainties happening to their lives. We dont know what is our destiny is, we must be ready for the instances that may occur. Courage is important to have so that it will lead you to a better person that you can stand with your own during difficulties.

The Great Flood

The Great Flood emphasize of making us sure in any actions or decisions to avoid such things that may destroy our life. Revenge is not the key to defend things, there are ways that should be done to have a better outcome. Also, we must not easily judge people if we really dont know what is happening. Understand the situation in a calm way before taking any action. Think before we act to avoid worst result that could bring great effect not just in ourselves but also for other people. Forgiveness must be done in order to have a good relationship in our fellowmen.

The Legend of Mayon Volcano

Loving for the sake of your loveones in life even if it doesn't the real happiness you want, is what the Legend Mayon Volcano means. Because of loving her family, she offers her happiness to them  just to have a better life and avoid from any bad things to happen. But this is somehow a bad action for me, because if you really want to be happy you are willing to sacrifice and to fight. Together you will face the situation, and helping each other. Sooner or later you will be happy facing the life with great joy and trust to each other and to your relationship. Til' death do us part just like they say. Stand for your happiness and be strong always, because it will lead to a better journey.

Tungkung Langit at Alunsina 

The story talks about of how long your trust to your loveones is. Having a mutual love and faith to each other is powerful traits tat must be present in a relationship. If you want to have a happy ending with your loveone, you must have trust to his/her that you can undergo whatever difficulties in life might happen. On the contary, I am unfavor with the decision of alunsina that she didnt go back to tungkung langit. Because I believe that if you love someone you will go back to him/her and forgive all the issue caused by the seperation happen. Indeed, you will both live happy, sharing love and have trust to each other.
