Lesson Learned from the
Story
The moral lesson of the story is that we should strive in life -
that no matter what hardships may come, we should try our
hardest and never give in. Because life is full of ordeals,
challenges, and problems, we should be strong and brave
enough to face them and eventually overcome them one by
one. And that we should accept the reality that no one in this
world is happily living without a problem. Only after
overcoming problems, then will we cherish what life gives us
and live a happier life.
 Reflection(ALexa):

My reflection upon reading "biag ni lam-ang", is that no matter how hard life can
be— or how everything seems to be trying to make your life miserable, you
should never stop pushing through. Eventually, all this hardships in life, where
you are starting to feel like the whole world is against you, you'll eventually get
through it and live the life you deserve. No matter what happens, never stop
pushing through.
 Reflection(John):

My reflection after reading "Biag ni Lam-Ang is that every decision you make
comes with an equal consequences, Therefore think before you do. Revenge is
never been a solution to relief hatred let bygones be bygones and always put your
faith and hopes for god let him decide for your life.
 Reflection(Nina):
My reflection is that we should persevere in life that no matter what trials may
come, we should try our hardest and never back down. That because life is full of
trials, challenges, and problems, we should be strong and brave enough to face
them and eventually defeat them one by one. And that we should accept the reality
that no one in this world is happily living without a problem, because living in this
world, facing our problems with might is the way to live a happy life.
 Reflection(Joshua):
Hardships are inevitable in life, but it's how we handle them that truly defines us. Bravery and
courage are essential qualities that we must possess to overcome these challenges. As Nelson
Mandela once said, "The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that
fear." It takes great courage to face our fears and push past our limitations. As we navigate through
life's difficulties, we must remember that every obstacle is an opportunity to grow, learn, and
become stronger. In the words of Maya Angelou, "I can be changed by what happens to me, but I
refuse to be reduced by it." We may face adversity, but we have the power within us to rise above
it. So, be courageous, face your challenges head-on, and let your hardships be the stepping stones
that lead you to a stronger and more resilient version of yourself.
 Reflection(Cindy):

Revenge is never a solution to any anger and hatred, making decisions is very
important. First, think about the results and consequences of the action you're
about to do. Be calm and don't let anger dominate you to carry out the revenge. To
solve this problem, you must be calm and think clearly before doing something.
With a clear mind, you can focus on thinking about what you should do with the
problems you are facing in your life. Life is hard and full of problems, but every
problems in life can be overcomed if you're determined to keep going.
 Reflection(Sam):

The lesson I learned from the story is that you have to persevere in the things you
want, no matter how difficult the trials that pass through your life, you must
continue to pursue you dreams.
