SINIGANG

Posted bykristalyn VicentePosted inUncategorized
The short story Sinigang is written in 2001 by Marie Aubrey Villaceran narrates how Liza, the main character, deals with the issue of her father who had an extramarital affair with Sylvia, and consequently had a son, Lem. The story takes place in Liza’s home whereshe, together with her Tita Loleng, prepares Sinigang for the family dinner, as it is her father’s favorite dish. During the course preparing and cooking, Tita Loleng ask Liza about her encounter with Sylvia in the wake of Lem who died because of cancer. It is through Tita Lolengs’s question with the procedures of preparing Sinigang that sparked flashbacks in the story revealing not only vivid memories of how Liza was made known about her father’s other family, how uneasy she felt when she finally met Sylvia, how rancorous and pretentiously impassive she is towards her father, but also, these flashbacks disclose how unconditional the love of Liza’s mother is, and no matter no Liza denies, her love for her father, in spite of all his flaws, is never really lost.

Moral Lesson
The moral lesson I’ve learned was every people living in this world commits mistakes; whether it’s small or big,mistake is a mistake and we shouldn’t tolerate that kind of character within ourselves. On the other side, we should be able to forgive someone especially the one we love when they’ve done something that hurts us and most importantly, forgive yourselves to gain peace and happiness. Saying sorry isn’t that hard, it will only be hard when you don’t mean it.

“To forgive is the highest, beautiful form of Love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness”
