The Legend of Maria Makiling
The Legend of Maria Makiling
Did you know that our National Hero Jose Rizal wrote about Maria Makiling too? Rizal
wrote a short story titled ‘Maria Makiling’ and is one of the popular stories surrounding Maria’s
legend.
The moral lessons that we can get from the story of Maria Makiling are we have to wait for
the right time, we should not be in a hurry in our decisions in life especially if it has undesirable
outcomes,we should accept failures in life without complaining or even blaming others, we
should not envy or jealous of what others have in life, don't do unto to others what you don't
want others do unto you, what you sow you will harvest, if we sow good things then we will
reap good things but if we sow bad things then we will reap bad things and we should avoid
anger, grudge against others.
