legend of maria makiling
I think that the Legend of Maria Makiling is such a great story and gives great lessons.First of all,the story shows that no mountain is to high to reach if the one you love is right there waiting for you.Second is that love doesn't base on apperance,power and wealth because love is only present for those who accept each other for who they are,not for what they have.Next is someone who is rich,powerful and good looking has no chance of winning to the ones who have good heart,humble and ready to offer anything they have just to be with someone they love.Last is ending someone's life doesn't give us what we want nor becoming a better person perhaps this will only end up facing the consequences. Back then,there was a fairy named Maria,she is a very beautiful being who lived in the mountains of Laguna.She is a very generous creature who always lends a hand to the ones in need and because of that,the people nearby loves her.Many men wants her because of her beauty,three of them was Captain Lara,Joselito and the most industrious which is Juan.By the night of the full moon,all of her admirers went to the mountain because Maria said that she would tell which one she truly loves.That night,she said that Juan is the one she loves.The suitors went away disappointed and they felt anger to Juan and thought of a plan against him.One day everyone is surprised when a huge fire devoured a cuartel of the Spanish.Captain Lara captured the Filipinos including Juan which was imprisoned and tortured,secretly Joselito helped Captain Lara.One night,Captain Lara and Joselito spoke to the prisoners and frightened them to blame Juan.The next day,Juan was blamed by burning the cuartel,"I did not do it" said juan but the prisoners pointed him.The soldiers brought Juan to the plazza and shot with hundreds of soldiers like an enemy of Spaniards.He died even though he did nothing wrong but before he died,he shouted and Maria heard that.She rushed and tried to get in to the plazza but it's too late,Juan is already dead.Maria cursed Captain Lara and Joselito to death.After that,Maria never let herself be seen again.Everytime somebody got lost on the mountains,they remember the great love of Maria Makiling. The story took place at Laguna,more specific at Mt.Makiling. Mt.Makiling Which is known to be a mysterious mountain at Laguna because people living near that mountain said that many people who climbed up there never went back and never been seen again.Many people think that this is the cause of the author to write about this mysterious things happening at Mt.Makiling.People there in Laguna is well known in many different categories like sculpting,coconut productions and hot springs and other unique things.There are also many tourist destinations at Laguna like Pagsanjan falls and Mt.Makiling. The Legend was narrated in a very understandful way. First is because each scene was stated in a complete detailed manner. Second is because the plot of the storry is not so cunfusing and complicated.Third is the moral of the storry which can be easily seen,but states a very good lessons that we can also apply to our life. Fourth is the characters which have different personalities and status in life and still they were connected in a very nice way. Over all,I think the story has a perfect theme,plot,setting and characters. This story should be passed from generation to more generations because it has good morals that can be learned by reading it with your mind and also your heart.The story should also be preserved because of the value of it from the people living in Laguna province and many Filipinos.The real reason of the people getting lost and never have been seen again in the Mt.Makiling is not yet proven,believers should believe and those who don't should respect.
