A reaction
Reading is fun. It is also a good way to relax too. Beside from that, it helps us to gain more knowledge about some things around us, locally or worldwide.
At first, I found out that the text is difficult to read because of some unfamiliar words. Because of it, I used the dictionary and started to find the meaning of those words. It was really a big help for me to understand more vividly the text. Same as me, I advise to see a dictionary if you find it hard to understand some words in reading some materials. It will let you avoid misunderstanding the point of the text.
Reading the text was like I am the one who was really traversing the every corner of the Mt. Apo. I felt like I was the geologist and the explorer who studies and observes the history, topography, and finding out the truth behind the accounts of the people around it.
As I read the text, I was surprise by the new facts I encountered about our own treasure in the Philippines, Mt. Apo. It is nice to know about these facts because it will serve for me as new trivia which I can also share to others for some time. I was stuck by the culture practiced by the tribe of Bagobos living in there. It was like a taboo for me at first. I never thought that they do such offering a human life for their beliefs. It was kind of odd for as what I see it. And, I actually respect their way of living.
Despite the oddity, I can see the beauty, grandeur, and uniqueness of the Mt. Apo and the practices of the natives living there. It should be preserved for it will serve as a treasure of the Philippine culture.
