Raul Moldez:

 Says the poem gave a bad image to the island of Mindanao

 For art’s sake
 The purpose of the poem is commentary, and its essence is narrative
 It may seem political, h believes that literature does not intend to
change society but to change the attitude of the people of society and
for consciousness
Raul Moldez:

 He believes that the impacts aid writers in articulating and assimilating

the horrors of wars and conflicts in creating literary works.
 He does not aim to romanticize war, but he believes that he can produce
romantic outputs based on war and conflicts.
