    Learning Task No. 2: Reflection Paper
    Direction: Make a 3-paragraph reflection essay about the moral lesson and symbolism of the
    Legend of Magat River.

    ANSWER: “Don’t lie and don’t make promises you know you can’t keep” this is the lesson I learned
    about the legend of Magat River. Many people are pretty casual about making promises. As a result,
    promises are frequently made at the drop of hat with no real intention of keeping it. When you break a
    promise no matter how small it may seem to you. Alarm bells aren’t going to go off, but it can damage
    relationship or your reputation. Just like what happened on the story. Think about it, when someone
    else breaks a promise to you or gets caught in a lie doesn’t make you feel violated or cheated? You can’t
    help wondering whether you were wrong to ever trust that person. So never make promises you know
    you can’t keep
