The theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy is RED.
Ang tema ngayong linggo para sa Litratong Pinoy ay PULA.
There are so many interpretations for the color red: love, hatred, blood, bravery and prosperity. It may also symbolize energy, communism, heat and arrogance. Some even say that red is the color of the devil.
Maraming interpretasyon ang kulay pula: pag-ibig, galit, dugo, katapangan at simbolo ng yaman. Maaari din itong maging simbolo ng lakas, Komunismo, init at kahambugan. Sabi pa nga ng ilan, ang pula ay kulay ng demonyo.
For me, red for bravery is what we need right now. We need this not because we have to battle foreign oppressors like our ancestors but to battle the many hardships we are currently experiencing: financial crisis, lack of political trust and just about any daily struggles that should have been easy but tend to be otherwise.
