DEKADA ‘70

1.) What values are shown or presented in the story?

                       The movie Dekada ’70 starring Vilma Santos and Christopher de Leon presents lots of values which is essential to whoever people may watch it. The film tells that easy go lucky life is unnecessary in order to surpass challenges within borders. One of the values that the movie had shown is to be a brave person, it doesn’t matter what gender you have or how old you are. The Bartolome family in the film Dekada ’70 had faced every test of God they had encountered, living in a way that they stay strong despite those family problems and social occurrences. The movie also presented a form of political strategy like the proclamation of the Martial Law during the tenure of President Ferdinand Marcos.
                       Sacrificing describes the whole theme of the film which is very crucial for the sake of the nation’s people shown by the parents and their offsprings in the movie. Filipino cultures were also presented, the courteousness and the civility of the Filipino, close family ties, the realization of determining good from bad, honesty – revelation of truth, unity of the people, thoughtfulness to others and most especially the love and care to the family, country, work and fellowmen. It is also shown how determined the Filipinos are, to get democracy by battling for freedom from the dictator government.

2.) Cite Filipino traits that are present. Give examples.

                       The film focuses on Filipino personas which is truly ours. One of the Filipino characteristics that was shown there is a Filipino that is a determined one. Jules (Piolo Pascual) never stop finding solutions until democracy was achieved.
                       Curiosity, when Jules tried to waken up his awareness in the social issues from his childhood days until he got a prize of himself in the end.
                       Responsible, the great man of the house, the father of five sons, the husband of loving Amanda (Vilma Santos), Julian Bartolome (Christopher de Leon) who nourished his family and never gave up.
                       Helpful, Amanda tried to work but her husband does not allow her. The brothers are helping each other and Julian helps his co-members of the revolution just like the wounded friend of him, he bring it into their house and medicated by a doctor.
                       Brave, the student leader (Kris Aquino) never hesitates to lead the student’s organization to fight against the government policies and Jules who joined the revolution with a high rank.
                       Courageous, it is Jules who courageously fought against the torturistic mind of the militaries due to the proclamation of the Martial Law.
                       Talented, Emmanuel (Marvin Agustin) is a great writer.
                       Clever, Amanda and Julian think of strategies how to plan their lives.
                        Independent, Jules is handling his own life in his own way. He decides what thing must be done and didn’t depend on his parents. This is when he leave his home.
                       Funny, the film shows that Filipinos are funny despite those tribulations in life. It is shown there when they bond to each other, during meals and discussion times.
                       Close Family Ties, a typical Filipino family, the father is the one who will decide, during arguments between members, they eat together and hospitality.
                       Loving and caring, Amanda and Julian never lacks of proper advice as a parent and as a friend. They did not stop loving and caring for each other.
                       God-fearing, the Bartolome family attends mass. It is shown in the movie when they go to church and pray.

3.) Reaction

                       “I will not surrender, I will die in what I believe in” quoted by Jules which is very inspiring line that brings so much impact to the Filipino integrity. The film narrates the story of the circumstances of a middle-class typical Filipino family who, over the gap and space of a tumultuous decade, become conscious of the political guiding principle that have in due course led to subjugation, authoritarianism and a state of Martial Law.
                        As a Filipino citizen, this film contributes much to the fellowmen to awaken us, to let us know and to let us realize the Philippine history that marks the world and the minds of every Filipino wherever he/she goes. So good to know that, despite those challenges that our grandparents had faced before, were still here alive and keep on battling for our respective definition of freedom in many ways. The movie rates so high for me because it hits my standards, the actors and actresses were so good as well as the whole set of this project. Dekada ’70 is truly a remarkable one for it brings lots of values and the realization of the importance of close family ties. The film also presented lots of Filipino cultures and beliefs.
                       “Each day, child and parent are born; together they will row the boat along the sea of change because the tranquil soil is only for those who brave the waves in the darkest hours of a raging storm. The masses, the country are fighting for their freedom.” A line of Vilma Santos that touches our hearts. We have to fight; we should have courage in everything in sense, and most importantly never surrender, never lose hope, and trust in God.

TALUMPATI

Isa pong pinagpalang umaga para sa lahat ng taong naririto’t pinapakinggan ako. Ano nga bang meron sa umagang ito kung bakit maganda ang himig at daloy na kinatutungkulan natin ngayon? Kailangan lamang buksan ang ating mga isipan at maging isang parang basong walang laman upang maintindihan lahat ng anumang sinasabing makabuluhan.

Nandito ako ngayon nagsasalita sa harapan ninyo dala ng aking buong pagkatao, dignidad at dangal na may kalakip na pinakamahalagang kagandahang asal na dapat taglayin ng isang indibidwal. Kailangan ba talaga ito? At dapat ba nating mas isa alang-alang na paunlarin para mas lubos nating maiintindihan ang hiwaga ng buhay? Sa realidad ng buhay, hindi natin masasabi kung hanggang kelan, itong mga karapatang tinatamasa natin sa mundong ito. Sa bawat araw na nagdaan, kailangan nating magsiguro sa mga bagay na nangangailangan ng tamang desisyon at magandang diskarte.  Ngunit, wala ang lahat ng mga ito kung wala ang gabay ng ating Panginoon.

Isa sa mga turo ng aking Ina ay ang ugaling ito na kung saan ayon sa kanya na “Kapag meron ka nito, wala kang talo” ikanga din sa patalastas na “cobra”. Noong una’y napaisip ako, “Ano nga ba talaga ang dapat kong taglayin upang magtagumpay sa buhay? upang malampasan ang mga pagsubok na dumadaan? upang hindi ko magawa ang mga maling disposisyon tulad ng pagpatay, pagnanakaw, pagsisinungaling at iba pa? upang masunod  sa tamang landas na aking tinatahak? Upang sa kasiguruhan ng aking kaluluwa sa kabilang mundo? Kasabay ng kaisipang ito, naaalala ko ang isa sa mga napakagandang sinabi ng isang akda sa Filipino 4 na “huwag kang gumawa ng mabuti sa kadahilanang may langit, kundi gumawa ka ng mabuti dahil ang mabuti ay mabuti” na pinaulit ulit pang binibigkas ng aming guro sa amin na iniisa isa kaming tinawag at binigyang paliwanag. Dito ko napagtanto na dapat bukas sa puso natin ang paggawa ng mabuti sa kapwa na walang hinahangad na anumang kapalit. Sa ugaling ito sinasabi rin nila kumbaga sa pampalasa “all-in-one”, nandun na lahat ng sangkap upang makapagpalasa sa isang pagkain.,ang punto ko, sa ugaling ito nandito na lahat, na kapag meron ka nito, magagawa mo ang pagiging  isang matapat, may respeto, masikap, responsable, may konsensya at may tiwala sa sarili at marami pang kaugaliang dapat taglayin ng isang tao, ng isang ganap na tao.

Medyo marami pang paliguy-ligoy ang aking sinasabi, ngunit ito na kaibigan, sasabihin ko na ba o nahihinuha mo na? Marahil ang iniisip mo kaibigan ay gayundin sa iniisip ko, dahil para sa aking sariling paniniwala na ang pinakamahalagang kagandahang asal  na dapat taglayin ng isang tao, walang iba kundi ang may takot sa Diyos o God-fearing person. Yun lamang po at maraming salamat, Mabuhay!

ARKO NI NOAH
(Environmental Issue)

SUMMARY:

            The short documentary film entitled “Arko ni Noah” focuses on environmental problem including its outcome to the habitat and humanity, causes that make these occurrences and the upcoming possible upshots. The setting of this documentary is in the province of Nueva Ecija in a dry season. Focusing on global warming with a specified climate change as one of the most concerning effect of this.

            It is entitled Arko ni Noah, because the documentary team want us to be aware of our preparedness in the outcomes may come relative to the story in the Bible when Noah prepared the big arch and everyone think of him as crazy and everyone laugh at him and when the huge flood came, Noah let those animals in and they were saved during the phenomenon. They stated facts and opinions regarding the issue by interviewing people in the province hence people in a certain town come to think about it. The dry lands and areas were presented; the flashfloods and landslides were also presented. In the end, the documentary team is persuading us to make up change and be always prepared whatever may happen.

COMMENT:

            The short documentary film was prepared by students as an educational purpose. Well, it is so good to know about these school activities, it can really help a lot to the humanity especially those students who are engaging to this particular issue or topic. Environment concerning topic like this want us to realize that simple thing you can do is a great help to the environment and to the community such as proper throwing of garbage and taking care of the nature. We have to plant trees not just for our own sake yet it is for the next young generation who sincerely need our help. The documentary covers general aim and it is for our good sake. It is just a short and succinct but a very well said presentation that awakens us from sleep through the truth and the responsibility.

            We humans, it is the responsibility what we live for. Let’s just be aware of what is happening today. I therefore conclude, doing simple thing brings a big participation. Start or begin the change in yourself because we are the only one who can save humanity. We are the only one who can save the world.

FEEDBACK AND STAND OF THE ISSUE:

            This is a very concerning topic, good thing that this documentary team chooses this topic. It is so nice to know that young people can do like this to contribute not just for us but to the whole wide world. I came to think of it that may be everyone of us can do something like this. An amateur work but a professional output.

            As a student, I realize something after I watch the documentary. Something that begins in me. We need to change. Prepare for our safety. We cannot stop the effect of climate change. So, first thing to do, importantly we should be what Noah is. Because in simple preparedness can save life against those cruel disaster. We are the one who ruin the world, and we are only the one who can save it back.


PADYAK NA BAHAY
( Social Issue)

SUMMARY:

            Padyak na Bahay is a short documentary categorized under poverty. This is an amateur work concerning to the people living in a “Padyak”. The documentary group conducted an actual interview to the family living in the concerning place. A place where danger awaits them and an area where safety stay away from them.

            Children of this family have poor education. One out of four child experienced school yet until Grade four only. The mother and father are finding hard to what their children have to eat. During calamity, they stay in their “Padyak na Bahay”. This serve as there shelter rain or shine. The father stated about what their children should do since they are the children of poor family. They are just one of the million of Filipinos who strive for hunger. The documentary ended in a conclusion about poverty and who will solve for this problem.

COMMENT AND STAND OF THE ISSUE:

            This is really the obvious evidence how poor the Filipinos are. It lacks basic needs in order to survive. The government should focus on this very concerning social issue. We do not want that poverty defined our country. This documentary helps a lot to those people to point out to those government officials. To let them know about the happenings around them beside those luxuries they have. Instead of corruption, they should help those poor families. Give them a solution that can help them learn how to make up their life.

            My stand of the issue is; people should also learn how to get through poverty. They should also cooperate to the government programs that could help them in their problem. We should not be lazy. We have to strive hard for us to survive in a good way. Government should not corrupt the money of the people and turning it back to the one who needed it most.

FEEDBACK:

            Young group of documentarist did a good work. It contributes much to the community. It helps to the people for the officials to take an action. So good to know that the basis of the documentary is all about poverty which is a very concerning topic in the society.

            It touches my heart. During those actual interview I feel pity to them. They let the society to be aware of what our fellowmen situation really is. Only thing I could say is; put hardwork in every way. Nice job to the documentary team. The whole documentary rates a high value to the general society.
