MORAL OF THE STORY 

According to my understanding, people make mistakes, and I believe that if everyone is the same, it will be uninteresting and lifeless. I realized that no matter how close we are to our parents, we cannot prevent them from making mistakes. Nevertheless, if you truly love your family and will go to any length to make them happy with you, you cannot even consider cheating on your partner, knowing that you already have a child who is very close to you. Why would you destroy the relationship you have built with your family? We all make errors and should apologize, but what the father did leaves an imprint on his daughter. 

No one is perfect, they say. That is true, but how could they possible do it without considering what might happen next? Consider what's hiding beneath your mistakes. Liza did the best she could. She went to his stepbrother's burial, pretending assurance to Sylvia in order to avoid having a talk with her. It's difficult for her to see what her father did. Liza's father apologized and begged forgiveness. Forgiving someone is a difficult decision, but the sorrow will live on in their hearts and minds forever. Time passes, yet the pain remains, and the person's name will never be the same.

If we don't want to lose our good relationship, we should not cheat or make mistakes that will leave a mark on those around us; they will change their attitude while you're around because of what you did. You may be a lesson and a bad role model to others who do not want to be like you because of who you are and what you have done. Be a good role model and take care of your name. You are not in the position of your children to imagine that the mistakes you have made would be copied by them. Just think about it.

Impact of the story to me as a 21st century learner

The impact of "sinigang" has brought me back to reality. Our lives aren't always ideal and beautiful. Some of us are unable to live contented lives and will build a legacy for others. I'm pleased I didn't have to deal with this dreadful problem, but as a 21st century learner, I've witnessed similar scenarios. Sadly, one of them is one of my friends. Cheating is a common problem in a shattered family, and it is not fair to wreck your family just because you are a daring men and a stunning girl. Always consider the person who will be victimized as a result of your mistake.

In this time it is hard to find a faithful man and women, you will always overthink the ''what if's''. Cheating is a choice and if you are really a man you wouldn't do it just for satisfication and leaving everything behind. Find someone who is willing to be with you until his/her last breath.
