Activity 2 :

Directions : On Youtube, watch “Ayoko sa Relihiyon by Jericho Arceo”. Write a reflection paper
(minimum of 3 stanzas) about it. For your guide, check the rubrics below.

In every stanza, I see reflections of my own strife,

As I grapple with the complexities of faith and life.

The poet's honesty resonates deeply within me,

As I confront my own uncertainties, trying to be free.

Yet amidst the turmoil and the inner storm,

There's a glimmer of hope, a chance to transform.

For in the poet's journey, I find solace and grace,

A reminder that questioning is part of the human race.

So as I reflect on "Ayoko sa Relihiyon" today,

I embrace the journey, come what may.

For in the poet's words, I find companionship and light,

Guiding me through the darkness, towards a clearer sight.
