Joaquin, N. (1979). The Hamiling Mystery. Manila: Mr. & Ms. Publishing Company, c1979.IRC 308The story tells of negative events in Hamiling which immersedthe whole community into fear, apprehension, and confusion, withelements of mysteries, humor, and tone of seriousness in most of thesituations depicted in it. As a piece of literature intended for children, thesuccession of events are written in such a way that it always present athrilling preview for the next event to serve as delightful and stimulatingto the readers. Though the language is written simply, the author seemsto tickle the creativity of the children’s imagination in foreseeingmovements of characters as perceived by the writer. The setting of thestory is in a town located on an island, afflicted with a certain plague asbelieved by its inhabitants due to an unfulfilled promise made yearsback. The people are depicted to be somewhat old-fashioned andreserved yet could be ungrateful and callous. For series of calamitieswhich has befallen to them especially the loss of their children toppledwith karma of guilt, they have learned to be truthful and committed towhatever they had pledged.The children will be delighted with the narration of events andsituations which can utmost thrill them because of candidness on howthey were narrated or the fairy-like manner; such as: 1. The peculiartreetop, at the tip of the pine had been dressed in green trousers werepatches of different shapes and different colors were seen, with a figuresuggesting to be holding a bamboo pipe to its mouth. 2. The Pied Piperwith his wailing music all over the town, followed by multitudes of rats, asheld them to drown in the sea. 3. Pied Piper blowing his pipe with a musicwhich caused all old people to sleep but made the children awake and asif in trance proceeded inside the hill. 4. The Wizard accompanied by adoctor and a midwife were told by the former to push the leg of the boot.The image is seen as a pregnant woman ready to give birth, and as aconsequence of the action, freed all the children inside the hill. 5. Thefamilies of Hamiling having lots of children as mismatched to the ages oftheir siblings or parents as this event happened after thirty years.The story discusses the values of forgiving oneself for theerrors and misgivings committed toward another yet remind that grantingpardon to others is as noble and relieving. For Hamiling, it took thirtyyears for the people to believe that they were haunted by some evils.They, too, were blinded by their fears and their guilt, that even theordinary and obvious (themusic, image of the devil,deaths, and sicknesses)seemed mysterious! Theauthor which was easilyunderstood by the childreninculcates the significance ofallowing the mind to forgetthings which had happenedlong time ago so as to givethe necessary change tooccur. In the last analysis,one is convinced that toforgive, one has to forget.Doing otherwise is hypocrisy.Though as it waspresented by the author, theprocess of forgetting andforgiveness had to happenafter thirty years which wasso significant because duringthose years, it was presumedthat there were realizationsfor both offenders and theoffended. It is so clear that time is a great healer, that as it passes by,thinking and feelings are sifted from being impure and erroneous. Tocontinue being immobile connotes death not only physically but alsospiritually, what can be so lamentable in an individual called as livingdead? The great maxim “To err is human, to forgive is divine” defineswhat a human person is, always prone to commit mistakes yet he is notexpected to stagnate in that compulsion…. like a phoenix he rises fromashes to begin a new life. Nick Joaquin is a literary genius not onlybecause he possesses an extraordinary gift in writing, he has beenbestowed with a depth which could penetrate the inmost core of one’spersonhood which is a potent potion to cure indifference and alienationto oneself.

This movie offersa complete glance at the revolutionary men accountable for laying thefoundation of the United States covering topics on conflicts andcontroversies that shook the first presidential administration, FoundingFathers, Founding Brothers, Washington the Warrior, Ben Franklin, andSecrets of the Founding Fathers.I unquestionably adore the way factual footages were insertedbecause it allows the viewers to witness the earlier period in the moderntime.
