Activity 9: Read and Respond


Read first the literature given below. After reading, be
able to tell its geographic origin.

1.Based on the definitions of myths, legends, and folktales


given earlier, what kind of story is The Tacay Flower?
 The story of Tacay Flower is an example of a legend
because it elucidates the origin of a specific thing in
nature such as mountains, fruits, flowers (Tacay
Flower), etc.

2. What is its geographic origin? Where is its setting?


 The geographic origin of the story was in Camarines
Sur, while the setting of the story was in Lake Bato.

3. What do you think is the worldview that The Tacay


Flower tells us about heroes and mortals? (A worldview is
a personal philosophy of life, a way of looking at things
and the world as a whole.)
 In my own opinion, the worldview of the story The
Tacay Flower is all about love, sacrifice, and
weaknesses. The story makes me realized that we
tend to sacrifice our life and happiness for the people
we love just like what happened in the story. We
sacrifice our life not only for our partners or loved
ones, some people, like our national heroes,
surrender their lives for the sake of our county. I also
discover that all beings in the world have different
kinds of weaknesses. Just like what happened in the
story, the female leading character (Tacay) owns an
immunity in thunder, but when she learns to love
someone (served that as her weakness), she
received a tremendous consequence that serve as
her greatest downfall despite the immunity that she
had.
