2. Pick out some lines (at least three) wherein the speakers look back at
some of their experiences like the example below:
“Kasi dati, nabubully ako sa school. Ang pumasok lang sa isip ko nun, gumanti.
Siya (KB) yung tututong sa ‘kin na makipagresbakan, and akala ko nun ano e,
‘makikipagbugbugan’ kami e, sapakan. Tinuruan ako ni KB kung paano
maging Salbabida rin sa iba.”
3. After writing down some of the lines about their memories, compose your own
interpretation of what you think the video is about. Write a text tula as a
tribute to the people in the video and acknowledge their share in the society
by helping other people.
One of the most memorable lessons from Sir Richard is what he calls the Salbabida or the life buoy lesson. Otherwise, the life buoy will sink and so does the person that depends on this lifesaver. Sir Richard tells us that, “God should be in the center of our lives in order to achieve peace.As in prose, the protagonist is the main character of the poem, though not necessarily the hero, and the antagonist is the protagonist's opponent. Certain poems, such as long epic poems, may also have secondary characters whose actions are in opposition to the protagonist's actions.
