III. Conclusion
We learned from the "Legend of Maria Makiling" that we must be able to
take rejection. Because Captain Lara and Joselito couldn't accept failure in love,
they were blinded by wrath and mislead by their emotions, so they did the wrong
thing and framed Jose for the reason that Maria Makiling chose Jose over them.
Maria Makiling exacted vengeance on the two after learning of their deeds, and
they were punished.
We must keep in mind that whatever we do has an aftereffect. Our
actions and decisions will have an impact based on how awful or excellent they
are. I believe in the law of karma, which states that anything you do will return
back to you.
