Anina ng mga Alon
by Eugene Y. Evasco
thanks to my school’s curriculum, i have been exposed to this wonderful, heart-touching book.
Anina ng mga Alon has filled me with joy, hope, and curiosity, as well as despair. it’s about the life and hardships of a teenager Badjao named Anina, specifically a Sama, whom are also called anak ng dagat. additionally, she explores the reality of our society in today’s age and life as one who experiences severe poverty. at the middle to end part of this story, Anina’s ambition to go back to the true ocean is what moved me the most. she misses the lively waves, corals, clams, everything. the way Anina remained hopeful, even in trying times, is so impressive, especially for her age. if i had the same experience as her, i would’ve easily underestimated myself and gave up. but because of this book, i am inspired to stay positive, despite the challenges i go through, especially in my journey as a student.
the waves or alon are her only friends. she has memorized it’s feelings and emotions. the fact that she was in the presence of these since birth truly amazes me, she was really born to be one with the waves. wow :0
i’d like to applaud Evasco’s immaculate writing skills. he truly knows how to keep his work interesting. i couldn’t stop reading this, oh my. though i may not understand the difficult or deep words in Tagalog, i was still able to comprehend the whole book.
to end, Anina ng mga Alon will really be one of my favorite Filipino books. i will cherish it forever. i love it so so much. :]
