“SINDAK”

Sindak showed the lives of the Filipinos during the Japanese Colonization wherein it can
be seen their resiliency and bravery to fight the Japanese. The story was led by the two brothers
named Felipe and Nestor with their girlfriends, Sofia and Emilia.
The first part of the story focused on the two brothers. It was seen that they are opposite
to each other, Nestor graduated and became successful and soon built his own shoe business
while his brother Felipe ended up harvesting in the farm. They might be different but their care
and love for each other will endlessly remain, especially Felipe.
Nestor and Felipe were one of the victims in the bombing made by the Japanese Army.
Felipe had a big wound on his back but still took care of his brother. He put Nestor on his back
and had to walk kilometers just to reach the nearest hospital and get his brother cured.
Their relationship as brothers were a little shaky as Nestor became disabled for a while
that caused him to hate his brother for putting him in his situation instead of Felipe. But Felipe
did not give up and continued on taking care of his brother, Nestor.
The bombing in Intramuros resulted to the formation of a group against the occupation of
the Japanese. It was a group of farmers named Guerilla or the Hukbalahap ( Hukbong laban sa
mga Hapon. They started with few people and started to recruit some Filipinos to join their
group. Meanwhile, Felipe was walking after he broke up with Sofia. He ended up meeting the
group of guerillas and was influenced to join them. He therefore joined the group for his brother
and for his lost girlfriend, Sofia.
On the other hand, Sofia was used by the two siblings Salvacion and Mauricia for the
mickey mouse money. Japanese army bought Sofia and always hurt her for resisting him.
Salvacion then realized the hardship and the cruel situation of Sofia so he decided to let her go.
Hence, on her way out she ended up seeing the Japanese army and was shot to death.
Unknowingly, Felipe continues to fight for his love for Sofia and love for the country.
Hundreds of lives were sacrificed just to have the freedom we have right now. The members of
the guerillas were forced to march to their last breath in Bataan.
The film did not only show the resiliency of the Filipinos but to educate us the hardships
that they’ve been through to attain the life we have now. The film wants us to remember, to
commemorate and to tell us that “guerillas” are our real hero and not MacArthur who was paid to
look after the Philippines.
With the stage play they performed, we students must realize the importance of life and
always remember that we are so lucky for not experiencing what they’ve experienced.

1. What are the learnings you gained from our class?


There are a lot of learnings I gained throughout the semester especially
when it comes to our culture, society and politics. I have learned the various
culture of the Filipinos, the different social processes that we are unconsciously
practicing, and the different politics that existed during the age of our ancestors.
I think the most memorable lesson for me was the hominization. I loved
how the way you taught us the differences of the four hominids, it sounds so
interesting to learn. That is why until now I can still clearly remember and
distinguish what hominid is being talked about. I can also now differentiate
divorce and annulment without being confused.
I did not only learn the lessons we had but also learned the right values
and attitudes that we must always practice wherever and whenever we go.
2. What are the highlights of your experiences in your class?
I think the highlight in class was every time we are having a recap about
the previous lesson. We are always nervous wishing that we won’t be called to
share what we’ve learned.
Additionally, when we had a recitation, we did just not identify what it is
but instead we were asked to explain it. And I think the students really understand
the lesson if he/she could explain and define what it is and not just by memorizing
it.

3. State your reflection for our class.


UCSP is a very interesting subject since it tackles the current state and
situation we are in and we have. As this subject tackle the 3 studies:
Anthropology, Sociology and Political Science, it aims to understand the different
culture of the Filipinos, the society we are living and the politics that has existed
and still existing.
Culture has a big impact in our society, for the culture shapes the society
and the society makes our culture. While politics is how we interact with the
people within our society.
I learned that we came from apes that existed millions of years ago. In
order to survive we must be able to adapt to the changing weather conditions, and
changing manner of living because if we will not, we will undergo the process of
extinction. I was thinking if we were to live in the ancient times wherein social
medias and gadgets do not exists and we must only think on how we will eat to
survive and be able to reproduce.
One of the institutions that we have is family wherein they are the bedrock
and the foundation of the society for they were the one who shapes and molds
their children. It was defined by Schaefer through the use of three types of kinship
connection through blood, adoption, and marriage.

4. What would you like to say to your UCSP teacher?


First, I would like to thank you for all the knowledge you’ve imparted to
us since June. Thank you for being you and use your techniques so that we can
easily understand the lesson. Thank you for being one of the best teachers we had
this grade 12. And thank you for being our father or brother in this school.
Lastly, I would also like to ask for your forgiveness if we ever did
something wrong. We were sorry if ever did something you did not like. And
we’re sorry for always misbehaving in your class.
