Tanging Yaman RXN Paper

Lennon D. Ponta-oy Med 1-A Reaction Paper on Tanging Yaman I grew up with “Tanging Yaman” featured on our TV screens almost every Holy Week. I remembered how it always made my mother silently shed tears while my father and sister are immensely drawn into the movie. I perceived it at evolving levels of understanding since I was a kid – well, it was being shown almost every year. It was like a sticky note with a reminder on it being constantly replayed and replayed. I even wondered if the target audiences don’t even got bored with such movie being played over and over again on our TV screens. True enough, it was meant to be a sticky note – this time not to be stuck on our notebooks but on our minds. Written on the sticky note is: “TANGING YAMAN = FAMILY.” For the nth time, I again encountered this masterpiece. This time it is not even holy week but during my early road-to-MD journey (Block 1 Film Showing). Indeed, our main topic on that week was about the family and how it is associated with health and wellness. I thought that our mentors made a very good decision in incorporating “Tanging Yaman” as a supplement to the lectures. Though it made a lot of my lady SGDmates cry, I was quite delighted to watch the movie over again – the classic pangs, angst and “tagos-sa-puso” moments conveyed still crept through me and those feelings made me humane and nostalgic. Seeing how dysfunctional the family of Loleng (Gloria Romero) has become, relationships were almost on the verge of breaking up. Eventually with faith and their undying love towards their mother, inked by the accident of Rommel (Jericho Rosales), Danny (Johnny Delgado), Arturo (Edu Manzano) and Grace (Dina Bonnevie) became reunited and set aside personal differences to rebuild the strongest of strongholds that is FAMILY.

Each and every family has experienced crises and it is upon the values nurtured and instilled that will do wonders to make it pass through. I won’t go into details of any family’s accounts but I believe we do have such problem at a certain point in our timeline. The movie “Tanging Yaman” encourages Filipino families to be grounded to the values that bind them as one. Nevertheless, understanding and respecting each family member’s views and outlook improves relationships. Despite the changing times, there will always be one thing that you can always rely upon that would love you unconditionally and comfort you – your FAMILY. Moreover, in line with our topic on family and health, a functional family would be one that health interventions would be easily administered since there is harmony and that each member is willing to undertake responsibilities for the welfare of the other. As future doctors, we would seek the cooperation of our patient’s families. Thus, we must understand them, dwell into the relationships, and do something if there is discord so that the patient’s medical needs won’t be affected. For me, it would be a great achievement if I would be able to let my patient’s family cooperate with me in our venture to manage their family member’s disease. In the future, we will be surely encountering families with issues such as that of Loleng’s and her children’s. We must do our best to mobilize and reunite such families for the patient’s sake for it would do wonders for his/her condition. As I end this reaction paper, I told myself that I will always attach the sticky note always on my morals, values and beliefs for it will improve my relationships with my beloved family and that I would become a potent force in changing other families’ lives.
