8 Stories (Reflection) By: Jan Mauryn Mahusay

Like The Molave

The author was referring that our country has hope if all people will be united. He was still convinced that many Filipino youth's are like Jose Rizal who's our national hero that have the same strength like him to fight for the better of his fatherland and fellowmen. Of all these problems that the country is facing right now, we need more people like the Molave, who's strong and firm enough to face any circumstances. I think it's not yet too late to take actions. Our children are the future generations. They will be the one who's going to suffer if we don't move right now. 

Footnote to Youth

Dodong's father and Dodong himself didn't tried to pursue the logical role of a parent. It is understandable that all people make mistakes but we learn from it, right? Rather than sharing to their sons the past experiences and lessons in life being a father at a young age, they didn't thought about it and continued to follow their child's urges. As a result to that, their child suffered because they lack knowledge about parenting and didn't know what is it to be in a married life. If the father of Dodong started it right, for sure Dodong will be in the right path and his son Blas will not do the same thing as theirs. But it has already been passed through. They can't turn back time and change their mistakes. I just hope that Blas will not do the same thing to his child and teach the right ways on how is it really to fulfill a youth's dreams. 

My Father Goes To Court











How My Brother Leon Brought Home A Wife

Baldo's family showed these beautiful traits of a Filipino culture like; living a simple lifestyle, being respectful to their parents and the closeness of the family with each other. It was Baldo who asked by his father to accompany his brother Leon with his wife Maria going to their home to know if she is worthy to be the wife of his son and asked if she was scared of Labang their pet bull who was also considered as part of their family to test if she was brave enough. The story also represents  the noble quality of being a father who shows absolute care to his child. Maria as a wife was really patient and understanding. She didn't even complained about their long journey though it was a rough ride and they rode a bull going to their home. I think, she was truly a woman who's every man wanted to be a wife with her personality and looks. No wonder Leon really loves him. Thus, Maria was lucky to have Leon as a kind-hearted husband. They were definitely a perfect pair and I think they'll build their own family wonderfully.

Order for Masks

The poem is all about a woman who desires to be in three different roles for his three men in her life that represents three masks to portray for his brother, father and lover. She wants to be in an opposite side towards his brother when times of fights and misunderstandings, an ideal daughter for his father who's gentle and innocent and for his lover that will truly cherish her love and maintain the contentment and happiness in their relationship. But, no one's perfect. We must accept the fact that every person has flaws and we're all making mistakes. Just offer kindness and spread love to other people. The important thing is that you're being true to yourself and what you show to others aren't fictitious.

Magnificence

"Magnificence" pertains to the mother who showed bravery in protecting his daughter. The story began in a man who's a bus conductor. He offered help to a mother of two children and his name was Vicente. He always go to their house in the evening to assist the children in doing their home works. But later on, he secretly liked the little girl and acted differently which causes the child frightened. And then the mother wondered and she felt there was happening wrong, then he let Vicente out of their house. At first, the mother shouldn't trust Vicente without knowing his background though he showed hospitable to her children. But she faced Vicente strongly to let him away from his children. That's why, a mother like her should be loved and appreciated. 

Mother's Break

Being a mother is probably not an easy task to do. We should be really grateful if we have a kind of mother who never gets tired of giving our needs and wants for the sake of our happiness. We shouldn't blame our mothers if we get scolded every time because they're just concerned and they don't want us to be in the wrong way. Also sometimes, they're just tired of all the chores and other stuffs. So as a child, we should just understand the situation and help them to lessen their duties. And most importantly, always show how much we love our mothers.
