The
Filipino folktale I chose is the “Alamat ng Pinya”. The story is about a girl whose
name is Pina who rarely does something to help her mother, Aling Osang. Aling
Osang is the one who always do the house chores for she always think that Pina
is still small to help her until Pina has grown and became spoiled. Until one
day her mother became sick so Pina does everything her mother said but later on
became lazy to do wok again. On another day, Pina cooked food and was to serve
it but she lost her serving spoon (Sandok). She asked her mother if she saw it
and her mother said "Bakit ba hindi ka na lang magkaroon ng maraming mata ng
makita mo ang hinahanap mo! Ito talagang anak ko, walang katiyaga-tiyaga”.
One hour has passed and Pina hasn’t returned yet. After a few days, Aling Osang
became better and went searching for her daughter but she didn’t find her. One
day while Aling Osang was cleaning her backyard, she saw a plant grow; she took
cared of it until the plant bear a fruit. Aling Osang noticed that it has a lot
of “eyes” and she remembered her daughter Pina.
