Insight:

      The poem is all about the days or  happenings on the time of our former President Ferdinand Marcos, the dictator of Marshal law. The author here what really happened during his time.As we've read the poem. We know that is all about how puissant,influential and redoubtable Ferdinand Marcos was. A young boy who's father is a general,hanging a picture of his boss on the wall, that is Apo, or Ferdinand Marcos himself.Impelled  the general to work hard, feeling those eyes peering at him.And so as what the young boy feel when he sneaked at his fathers's office. obviously, you can espy how authentically potent Marcos was.


Interview:

       As we've interview one of the teachers in our school, she said that that Ferdinand

Marcos  is a dictator of Martial Law.

  She said that martial law is  the life that most of Filipinos living in fear,scare,hopeless life.              

   

    Going through the discussion she added that martial law is not good for Filipino because it affects the peaceful life of our country,yet it has a good help like many infrastructure that built in our country but ordinary person can't speak out or do not have power voice out their opinion and will.

     We should study this period in our history so that we are aware what happened in the presidential of Ferdinand Marcos.
