Reaction Paper (Sulu Sea)
How long are we going to fight for our country? Are we brave enough to stand
and face the superior of power in order to achieve our desired independence? Courage
and skill are one of the characteristics I admired the most from the raiders or the
Filipino/Muslim who fought on their last breath for our freedom. How I wish that those
other Filipinos in the past who gave up and betrayed our country in exchange of
personal interest will have this kind of determination and strong will to fight for our
sovereignty.
From the short film we have watched about the Raiders of the Sulu Sea, I have
learned a lot that about the Moro people and how they fought hand on hand and blood
by blood among the Spanish Colonizers. I have somewhat understand why other people
generalize Muslim people as brutal and savage and think on them negatively when it
comes to fighting for their desired goals. Also, as being known expert sailors and being
called master of the Sulu sea, we can get the idea and the images how they violently
raid the territory of Spaniards using their courage and skill. I am greatly amazed how
they were fearlessly battled against Spaniards who uses advance technology in fighting
and raiders were only fighting by means of hand to hand combat skills and their deadly
swords to cut off the enemies’ weapon. From the impressive battleships, deadly
weapons and working together as one, I can’t imagine how brave they are to strategize
and face those superiors in power just to gain our desired freedom.
Muslim people may be known and generalize on many negative things like being
brutal, violent, dangerous and merciless. But one thing is for sure I have learned from
them, they also have a heart to fight for our country and freedom. They are brave and
courageous to face anyone on anything just to fulfill their desired goals. And that is the
outlook as an individual I badly wanted to have. It is because I am weak and not strong
enough to face any challenges in my life. How I wish I have those courage and skill to
fight not only for my dreams but also to make changes for our country.
