Question/Topic: In what ways can you as a Filipino reader be

affected by such works (short stories in Tagalog) that endeavor to


open the minds of people on socio-political and moral issues
confronting the country

Just as on how the Philippine History is so rich and broad from


the pre-colonization era and up to the modern age, literature in
the country also encompasses this culture enrichment, impacts
and influences to the mind of every Filipino. Philippine Literature
which is the collective term for all of the literary works made by
various Filipino writers paved and explained the way on how it
actually involves and reflects the people's perception especially
on the socio-political and moral issues. Now, even if we just read
and analyzed Filipino short stories, these literary pieces offered
many ways for young Filipino readers to open their minds on
these issues which are critical and confronting the country.

Starting on how the short stories originated and to where its writer
based its plot, Filipino short stories offers the readers actual
representation through symbolisms of the various characters or
situation on its plot that shows an issue to which makes the
reader to think, to weigh and to analyze this dilemma and hereby
connecting it the old and present issues. Short stories' origin,
characters and plot always exemplifies one issue to which the
story revolves and to which us, the readers think if it is actually
happening and placing us into situations and makes our mind to
comprehend deeply. Another one is how these short stories
connect the past happening and events to today's world and
making the reader to have this time travel on their minds and
letting them to experience cognitively the plots and how it reveals
the recurring sources, events and stakes of conflict between
individuals, society, nature and most importantly the state. These
short stories let the readers explore the range and variety of
plausible as well as  interesting interpretations of complex moral,
social and political phenomena.

Lastly, the way this Filipino short stories endeavors to open the
minds of the readers to this issues is that on how the stories
description might it be of fantasy-based or as critically acclaimed
offers the readers to awaken their five senses and let them to
capture the aspects of human nature, to which includes their
hopes, fears, and limitations of a given people and how this facets
of Filipino short stories reveals the facets of human identities of
concern to political, moral and social philosophy. And as how this
short stories are widely consumed and taught in the academe, it
results to the said philosophies to demand the readers to have a
self-reflection and self-improvement not just for them but as well
for other individuals and societies, letting to examine or to study
these short stories in the context of these philosophies  in many
shared goals. 

And thus, as stated and explained above, these are the ways on
how these short stories open the minds and perception of the
readers on various aspect issues. Filipino literature is not just for
entertainment or as cultural reflection but it is actually for and to
present the pressing issues on the best creative way the writers
choose and ought to do. 
Short Reflection 1. In what ways can you as a Filipino reader be
affected by such works (short stories in Tagalog) that endeavor to
open the minds of people on socio-political and moral issues
confronting the country.
What is sociopolitical? sociopolitical refers to something that
includes both socioeconomic and political considerations. The
topic of environmental dialogue is an example of a sociopolitical
issue.
A moral question will be whether it is right to talk truthfully in a
given situation. As a Filipino citizen reader and a student.
Reading short Tagalog stories that attempts to open my mind
about socio-political and moral issues facing the country has a
tremendous impact on me as a Filipino citizen reader and a
student. It reminds me of an old conviction held by elders that
they always still believe. Having short stories like this is a huge
support for people who wish to broaden their horizons and learn
more about the challenges that our country faces. Reading books
with such themes can assist any adolescent, such as myself, in
overcoming and adapting to life. Being open-minded about certain
topics and discussions can be a good trait in general. It is a
crucial skill in order to logically and rationally consider what might
be the root of the problem and what might be the cure. In my own
perspective, Short stories in Pilipino should be welcomed since
they are open to the general public. If they open the minds of
Filipinos to a sociopolitical and moral problem facing the nation,
then this literary type should be given widespread attention. It is
even more trustworthy to read and acknowledge these short
stories in Filipino because they represent Filipino cultural norms
