“Apo on the Wall”

I like this poem because I think about the situation and I feel the feelings of the Filipinos through this poem. It made me realize that the people of today, specifically our generation, are very lucky because we have not experienced what the victims of Martial Law have gone through. Overall, I liked this poem because this masterpiece has a huge impact on our present time and for the years to come.

 I am grateful to the Filipinos who experienced this tragedy which is very traumatic, to them. I feel they are in misery because at that time the Filipinos are being treated and the injustices are coming out at that time.

 The message I got, we should be thankful that we have freedom because in Marcos' time, Filipinos did not have freedom, even the freedom to express themselves was not allowed.

 Bj Patino’s masterpiece is a comparison of past and present so, it affects my appreciation of the past and present by giving me a reason to give value to what happened in my past because according to Rick Warren that "We are the products of our past, but we must not allow ourselves to be imprisoned in the past because the past is gone so we must learn to live in the present and we must use our experience as a guide to our present life.
