EXAMINING AND RESPONDING TO THE TEXT

1. The fable of the Mango Tree and the Bamboo Tree. It is very appropriate as the characteristics of
the two trees describe the true attributes of a Filipino. It represents the how strong Filipinos are in
facing the challenges in life.
2. The struggles Filipinos survived from the Spanish regime up to the recent social and political
struggles. Even until now, Filipinos deal with different types of people every day. We can adjust to
changing situations, be it bad or good.
3. “LIFE IS LIKE A WHELL”
4. The Filipinos had been through a lot, but the Filipino nation endured them all. Undoubtedly, we
know that we are not strong enough to fight back against stronger foes, so we yield and have
survived. We did not cower in the face of enemies. We are a brave nation, having through lots of
hardships, we know when to step back and rethink our actions.
5. The Filipinos are very resilient people. We can recover from the challenges that come our way.
Despite countless problems, we emerge victoriously. Unquestionably, the road to take was not
easy. In the end, the Filipinos withstand it all because we chose to be optimistic and to stand our
ground. We never give up easily. We remain standing just like the bamboo tree.
