Liham ni Pinay mula sa Brunei

Questions:

1.       What is your opinion on the woman’s decision to work abroad and leave her family behind?

Answer:
It is a very courageous act for not everybody can do the same thing. Leaving is the hardest part but somehow, these people endure the pain and sacrificed for the sake of their love ones. Even if this means being miles apart to the people closes to their hearts, even if those means missing the faces of their little angel. Still, they will work abroad to give their family a better future.

2.       What are the beliefs and traditions found in the story that you believe are still present up to this day?
Answer:

Family is the most important thing. When it comes it we are willing to sacrifice no matters what happens. We always want the best for our family because their laughter are music to our ears. Whatever happens, we will always be a family. We aren’t perfect but that imperfectness makes us one. 

The How’s, What If’s and If ever’s:

1.   How does the poem about Pinay open the minds of younger generation like you?

      Answer:
You can’t trapped women in their house forever. They are capable of doing lots of things.  Also, this poem made me realize how our mother sacrifice everything just to give us a better life.

2.  What if you are in the woman’s shoe, would you also leave your family and work abroad? Why or why not?

Answer:

“You don’t turn your back to a family.” If leaving is the only choice that I have, then I will leave. Not because I want to, it’s because I have to. Best is the only thing that I wanted for my family. I will do everything to give my family a decent and comfortable life.

3.  If ever this situation happens in your family- having a father like Pinay’s husband- what will you do?       
Answer:
If my father is a douchebag, I think we won’t get along well. Honestly, I will blame him for everything that is happening in our family. Our mother won’t leave and work abroad if he’s only doing he’s part in this family. We’ll still be complete only if he’d done he’s part. Although I feel that way, I still respect him because he’s my father.
