So learn toforgive my dear students!04. AnalysisWhat is the significance of using the dish‘sinigang’as a central element in the story, andhow does it reflect Liza’s emotions and familysituation? Yes!(call a student)Very well said! What a fascinating way ofputting your answer that way. Thank you forthat(name)!Okay, anyone who would like to answer? None?Okay!So (name) is right class! The dish sinigangserves as a powerful symbol of Liza’s mixedemotions and the complex dynamics within herfamily. Sinigang is known for its sour taste,primarily from tamarind, which represents the“sourness” or bitterness Liza feels as shegrapples with her father’s infidelity. As shehelps her mother prepare the dish, eachingredient reminds her of the difficulties andpain her family has endured due to her father’sactions. The act of cooking together alsosuggests the bond between mother and daughteras they support each other through tough times,emphasizing resilience. Just as the ingredients insinigang come together to create a balanceddish, Liza’s experiences, though painful,contribute to her growth and understanding ofMa’am, it is because the dish‘sinigang’issour, and sour is a word that meansdisappointment or anger that’s why‘sinigang’represents the bitterness andsadness Liza feels because of her father’sinfidelity.(Students are clapping for the one whoanswered the question)(Silence)
family complexities. The sour taste ultimatelybecomes a metaphor for facing difficult truthsand moving toward acceptance.05. GeneralizationOnto the next question, how do you think thestory “Sinigang” shows the importance ofunderstanding and compassion in resolvingfamily conflicts?Anyone who would like to answer? Yes (name)!What great insights! It really seems that youhave grasped the story well! Well done (name).You know class, the story “Sinigang" reallyshows that understanding and compassion areessential in resolving family conflicts. Just likewhat your classmate said a while ago, despitethe pain Liza feels because of her father’s affair,she learns to understand the complexity of thesituation, especially after meeting herhalf-brother. This understanding helps herrealize that forgiveness and compassion are keyin healing and accepting her family’s flaws. Thestory teaches that even in difficult times,empathy for others can help mend brokenrelationships.06. ApplicationIf you were in Liza’s shoes, how would youhandle meeting your half-sibling and dealingwith your father’s betrayal?(call students)For me Ma’am, being understanding andcompassionate really is a game changer.Despite all of the hurtful things that Liza’sfather has done to her, she still manages togive forgiveness just because she met herhalf-brother. With the help of that, Lizalearned how forgiving causes her to seethings in a more positive way.Students are clapping or the student whoanswered the question.If I were in Liza’s shoes, I would likelyfeel a mix of anger, confusion, and hurtupon meeting my half-sibling anddiscovering my father’s betrayal.
If I were in Liza’s shoes, I might strugglewith feelings of resentment toward myfather, but I would try to understand thatmy half-sibling is innocent in thesituation.If I were in Liza’s shoes, I would probablyneed time to process my emotions beforetalking to my family about how I feel. Iwould also try to show compassion to myhalf-sibling, since they have no controlover the situation.If I were in Liza’s shoes, I would notforgive my father because of what he didto my mother. And as for my half-brother,I think it would take time before I couldaccept him.07.
