"TAMBARA" an altar for the deities
SHORT SUMMARY
The story revolves around Lando, an elementary
teacher who doesn't believe in myths and asserts
his modern sensibilities, and Datu Pikong, a
tribal shaman who uses an imaginary
cellphone to call Apo Sandawa when
someone wants to get healed from sickness.
Lando accuses Datu Pikong of capitalizing
superstitious belief of the townsfolk.
He gets angry when he sees the shaman
take offerings from the people.
Swept by his fury, Lando destroys a
tambara when he found it under a
Balete tree. Unknowingly, Lando
angered many diwatas who want to
take his wife and baby as punishment
for what he has done. Lando was forced
to face circumstances which pushed
him to desperately resort to the Balyan
only to realize that not everything in this
world can be spelled solely with the
human knowledge.
REFLECTION:
We should give respect to all people and things around us.
We should think first before we act.
And think twice before we speak.
This story made me realize that I should give respect to other people even though I don't believe to their statements. I should always put in my mind that even though I am in the higher class, I don't have the right to say who or what can help us. Just because we have the high grade its not always we are in the right facts.
