MY REFLECTIVE ESSAY ABOUT MAGUINDANAO PEARLS

 INTRODUCTION

       Maguindanao pearls is written by Isidro L. Retizos. This story is an ancient Filipino myth. It talks about the love of Sinag-tala and Magiting for each other even though Magiting already is engaged to Lakambini but his heart secretly fells for Sinag-tala, Lakambini was so envious of Sinag-tala that she even blamed her for stealing the pearls. In this blog I'm going to talk about the story "Maguindanao pearls" on how is it connected to our culture and history. I will also share my reaction and conclusion at the end.


BODY


      When Sinag-tala was two-and-a-half-days-old , her grandma came and placed a fresh lily on one of her hands and a small, pale pearl on the other. Fourteen years has passed the Lakambini called her to make some baskets to weave. Weaving is popular in Philippines and it is a tradition that comes from neolithical people. Women of the pre- Hispanic era, were given importance. Women had rights to inherit property and also had parts in trading and business. They would weave baskets to be used for exchanging in the market.



     Sinag-tala maybe prettier than Lakambini but because of the pearls that Lakambini wore she became more prettier and attractive than Sinag-tala. Pearls were gifts to Chinese royalty as early as 2300 BC, while in ancient Rome, pearl jewellery was considered the ultimate status symbol. The Philippines has a long history of producing natural pearls and shells. The Badjao are famed for their diving abilities and their pursuit of rare natural pearls. Cultured pearl farming is significant right now. The Philippines is well-known for producing brilliant South Sea pearls.


Lakambini was so jealous of Sinag-tala so what she did is hid the pearls in to the basket that Sinag-tala made and accuse her for stealing the pearls. Since Lakambini blamed her for stealing, Sinag-tala suffered the challenges that needs to be accomplished so she can be considered innocent. Lakambini is a term in the Philippines that means that you are joining a pageant.

CONCLUSION
Therefore I conclude, that as a human being we should accept ourselves for what we are. We are unique in all our ways. Most of all we are equal that's why we should not belittle or think highly of someone even us ourselves, we should know how to respect.

WAR ON DRUGS

Image
ANO NGA BA ITO???         Ang war on drugs ay isang pangunahing pamana ng pagkapungulo ni dating presidente Rodrigo Duterte.  Kung saan pinapatay ang mga taong nahuli na nagdodroga.  Nagsimula ito noong 2016 at nangyayari parin sa kasalukuyan. Mga higit labing dalawang libo na ang namatay dahil dito.                        Hanggang sa panahon ngayon ni Presidente Bongbong Marcos Junior ay nangyayari pa ito.  Ngunit, hindi na nila ito pinapatay. Iniba ni Marcos ang proseso nato.  Imbes na patayin ang mga nahuli magdroga, ang ginagawa niya dito ay ilalagay niya sa rehab ang mga tao, pinangangaralan sila ng mga bagay tungkol dito, paggagamot at reintegrasyon na nakabatay sa komunidad upang pigilan ang pagdepende sa droga sa mga apektadong problema.                             Para sa akin, nasa panig ako ni Marcos at ...

THE ESSENCE OF FAMILY DAY

Image
     Abril 28, 2024 ay ang aming Family Day. Ipinagdidiriwang namin ito tuwing Linggo kasama ang pamilya. Bago paman ipinagdiriwang ang Family Day ay nagkaroon kami ng isang opening parade para sa opening ng family day at Zumba kung saan kasama namin ang aming magulang sa aktibidad na ito. Sa araw na ito ay nahuli kami sa parade kasi matagal kami nagising. Ang aming naabutan na lamang ay ang zumba at patapos na ito.  Kahit na late kami ng aking mama ay nag enjoy parin kami dalawa at nagkaroon kami ng oras para malibang sa aming buhay at mawala ang aming stress.                    Ang sunod na pangyayari ay ang paglalaro ng mga magulang sa iba't -ibang mga laro tulad ng volleyball, basketball, badminton, at mobile legends.
