7 Stories (Reflection) By: Ershian Mae Joaquin

The Legend of Maria Makiling

The story of Maria Makiling brings people harm to this beloved mountain. It makes people positive about lives. Maria shows how to help poor people and she has a very good heart, she's willing to help the one's in need. It's really important to be helpful and be kind to others. She really serves a good example to us, especially to those who are hard-hearted people. 

The Great Flood

The story tells me the beauty of the seas and oceans also the mountains. All of us likes to travel in every part of the world to discover new things. And to know want their culture is. So we must be careful and respectful what the culture they have. Here in our country there are many beautiful sceneries that we can enjoy. But there's a danger if we didn’t properly use it. We are the one who is responsible for resorting the beauty of our natural resources. Disaster may come if we make wrong things. Great Flood shows me that everything that we do whether it is good and bad, it has consequences to us. Like what happened to Tau-mari-u, because of what he did to Humitau his land was destroyed and covered by the flood and he suffered from the revenge of Aponi-tolau. But in the end his love for Humitau leads the story into a happy ending. We need to forget the things that cannot be undone and forgive people. But it doesn’t give them the license to do it again.

Ibalon

The story of Ibalon shows the concern and love for our homeland. The three heroes, Baltog, Handyong and Bantog do their own ways of showing their bravery in protecting the Ibalong. The story tells us to be Brave and have the determination to face all the struggles and challenges in life. Im willing to sacrifice myself and give all my efforts to help my family and other people in simple things. We can help other people by sharing our foods and etc. Someday I want to be a hero to my family, I will give all my love, care and efforts to them. I will not be a selfish person. Being a hero to my family is not that easy, but I can be if im willing to be.

Tungkung Langit at Alunsina

The story talks about how to hundle our anger and how we react in this kind of occurrence. Tungkung langit let his anger suppress him he almost hurt his wife. Until his wife decided to disappear. He realized everything in the end, he lost his wife because of his anger. Many people can’t control their anger. Sometimes, they tend to do bad things just to make a revenge. Anger is the most saddest feeling for me because it can be a major factor in making us feel terrible. I learned that anger is not the solution in our problems. We must keep calm in solving our problems. We will only regret or realize our mistakes after we lose something or someone we love.

The Creation of the World

I learned here not to overuse our efforts or not to give all your strength on something or someone who does not deserve our love and efforts.

The Legend of Mayon Volcano

This story brought a deeper emotion about pleasing people. It shows that even how beautiful you are inside and out not all people will accept us wholeheartedly. Not all of them will be attracted. A deeper relationship might be formed more than friends. To  avoid consequences of wrong decisions like what happened to the characters, we must understand and accept the reality of life. We don’t have the right to judge other peoples life. Even magayon is so beautiful he never forget to help poor people. Magayon is such a good example to us by helping others in need.
