That negotiations about non merely the life of people during the Marcos government but besides the function of each member in the household. We can state that this novel and the movie of Chito S.

The way of manager Chito S. Rono has the household as a centre of the consequence of Martial Law.
With a gifted dramatis personae of converting histrions and actresses. Their place would go to the spectator a microcosm of the state as a whole.
In fact it is in the place of the Bartolome household where most of the film really takes topographic point. And it is in this place viewing audiences are taken for a brief drive through this disruptive clip in Philippine history.The married woman Amanda ( Vilma Santos ) and Julian ( Christopher Deleon ) belongs to a in-between category twosome with an ideological position. Who must cover with raising their kids. Five male childs – Jules ( Piolo Pascual ). Isagani ( Carlos Agassi ).
Emmanuel ( Marvin Agustin ). Jason ( Danilo Barrios ) and Bingo ( John Sace ) in a manner wherein passion. Unrest and societal pandemonium will be seen. To accept the differences of the sibling’s political orientations and positions will be the greatest mission of Julian.
As a male parent faces the painful dissent of his kids. A mother’s love will turn out to be the most resonating in the flowering of this family’s narrative and to rouse her ain demands. As she embarks on a journey of find to recognize who she is as a married woman. A female parent. A adult female and a Filipino.My reaction in this movie truly concerns about Amanda for she is the most laden and the most affected among all the characters in the movie.
We can state that she’s domestic in nature because she’s merely remaining inside their places and taking attention of their kids. The most laden portion for her. Is when Julian’s friend visited them and all of a sudden when she try to reply or be portion of the conversation.
Julian’s friends were merely “napipilitan” to reply her or they are merely esteeming her as a married woman of Julian. As if she is merely another amah in their house. She isn’t entitled to her determination and if she will make something. She truly needs to confer with it foremost to her hubby.
I noticed that about all of the determinations in their house were from her hubby.We can state that the movie was from a feminist point of position or stand on what should be the function of the adult female in the house. In society and in the state. Why is her husband’s self-importance so high that if he would allow Amanda happen occupation. I’m certain that his self-importance will non diminish at any rate? He is so unjust. Why non give Amanda a opportunity; nil will lose if he’ll Lashkar-e-Taiba Amanda make what she wanted.
Being a male parent doesn’t mean that all the determinations in your household should come from you because you don’t ain all the things in this universe. You can’t make up one’s mind what’s best for everyone. And in conclusion. Everyone should be given a opportunity to make what they wanted to make because things that will do you contented sometimes be searched.To Lualhati Bautista and Chito S.
I salute you. I believe in this quotation mark. “My female parent was the most beautiful adult female I of all time saw.
All I am I owe to my female parent. I attribute my success in life to the moral. Rational and physical instruction I received from her. ” by George Washington because all I am and all I have is hers. I hope all of us will value the full female parent in the universe and don’t forget that being work forces doesn’t average you’re the best and you should make up one’s mind for all because sometimes. Adult females are much good at decision-making.
We should accept that our determinations are non ever right and what we think is the best for everyone is bad for everybody. I think my recommendation here is that. All should be given their freedom to take their life and to populate with their chosen life because no 1 knows us better than ourselves.
Characters. Vilma Santos- Amanda - main character; wife of Julian and mother of 5 sons: Jules, Isagani, Jason,Emmanuel,Benjamin;the main female character, reaches her feminist and nationalist consciousness living through the personal hardships of Philippine martial law. Instead of silently succumbing to the various oppression in her life, such as martial law and being a dependent housewife and mother, she takes control of her traditional identities and turns them into transgressive ones to help bring down the Marcos regime. As a case study, Amanda Bartolome represents women and mothers who have openly questioned their nationalism to oppressive states, and have used their identities as mothers to fight for social justice and peace.
Christopher De Leon-Julian - husband of Amanda and father of her 5 sons; had suspicions of their son's inclination to become an anti-Government winger but became convinced when they find copies of rebellious pamphlets lying around the house.They confronted their son about them, and he had to admit his decision. At first, conflict ensues in the family. Eventually, the parents learned to accept their son's decision, and eventually became proud of him.
Since then, their home became a constant place of recreation for Jules who often brought a friend along with him. Piolo Pascual-Jules - eldest son of Amanda and Julian;Being the eldest in the family, he was already old enough during the declaration of martial law President Marcos. He became exposed to rebellious reading material, and inevitably molded his mind into that of guerilla. Simple c program to convert decimal to binary. Jules grew up to become a member of the communist.
Carlos Agassi-Isagani - the second son;grew up to become a sailor, and became the family's cream of the crop. Gani, however, quickly became the goat of the family because he had made the simplest mistake of getting a girl, his girlfriend Evelyn, pregnant. Naturally, being a Catholic country, the parents insisted on marriage. Alas, their lives were nothing but hollow imitations of couples in love, without enough of the very essence that keeps two people together. Their separation was inevitable; Gani never lived the shame down. Marvin Agustin-Emmanuel - the third son;offspring that provided himself with the most secure future. Emmanuel lived the same life as his elder brothers, but knew that the extreme left and the extreme right had no place in society.
He called for peaceful evolution, change in the form of expression. He wanted to become a writer, a noble profession, one exceptionally crafted for someone of Emmanuel's ability. His problem was, his father violently objected to his son's decision, due to practical reasons. There is no good pay for a writer. Danilo Barrios-Jason - the fourth son;Jason was Julian's favorite among his children. He was also the opposite of Emmanuel.
While Emmanuel was studious and hardworking, Jason was a typical teenager. He joined rallies to make noise, not express a message. He was a constant failure in school, albeit his problems were self-inflicted. He stole from his parents. He lied to them. However, in the midst of the first three brothers' hardships, it was Jason's happy-go-lucky demeanor that provided Amanda and Julian with a well-needed dose of happiness.
Unfortunately, in the end, it was Jason's felonious tendencies that caused hm his life; it wasn't his fault, but he was out with his usual round of pecadillos that the police accidentally killed Jason. John Wayne Sace-Benjamin - the youngest son; After all had come to pass, he was in the middle of his teens.

The Bartolome family became close with Domeng because, among other things, he reminds them of his son Jules his friend. Unfortunately, it was late when Jules realized that Domeng his friend was an operative of the government constitution of the Marcos Republic.

At that time Jules Bartolome subsequently sent to the prisoners. And the second conflict it is all about for friendship like Jules and Domeng. The character that I most relate is Piolo Pascual(Jules); because he contributed a lot to the their government like the changes that empowered Filipinos to rise against the government. This series of events happened after the, the suspension of the, the proclamation of and the random arrests of political prisoners. The oppressiveness of the Marcos regime made people become more radical.
This shaping of the decade are all witnessed by the female character, Amanda Bartolome, a mother of five boys. While Amanda's sons grow, form individual beliefs and lead different lives, Amanda awakens her identity to state her stand as a Filipino citizen, mother and woman. Dekada '70 introduces the new generations of Filipino readers to a story and a family of a particular time in Philippine history.
Its appeal lies in the evolution of its characters that embody the new generation of Filipinos.4. What is the lesson of the story you learn? The lesson that I learn in the story is all about a mother and her family, and the society around them that affects them. It is a tale of how a mother becomes torn between the letter of the law and her responsibilities as a mother.
The movie dekada 70 was a greate movie to watch, because it tells a story about a middle class that experienced the marcos government and in the story shows how a mother cares for his family most especially to her eldest son. They experienced the suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus, the proclamation of Martial Law and other worst things. And at the last scene Amanda Bartolome said 'ang payapang pampang ay para lamang sa mga taong nangangahas sumagupa sa alon nito'. I was a journalist-political activist involved with the Movement of Concerned Citizens for Civil Liberties (MCCCL), organized and led by then Sen. Diokno in response to the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in August 1971. In fact I was involved in the larger progressive protest movement that began in the mid-1960s.

We had generally anticipated that Marcos would declare martial law, as (follow up) to the writ suspension that spurred bigger protest actions. The street slogan then was, “Sagot sa martial law, digmaang bayan (Response to martial law, people’s war)!” Still, we didn’t expect he would do it that soon and in the manner he did—shutting down tri-media establishments and making arrests before formally proclaiming martial law. Marcos realized that he and his government were increasingly being isolated from the people, but he was determined to hold on to power at all cost.
Exploiting the presidency’s residual power under the Constitution to declare martial law, Marcos invoked as basis an alleged conspiracy to overthrow the government between the Left and those he tagged as “oligarchs.” There was no such conspiracy, so martial law was not justified.
