The Meaning of the Poem:
When you read the title you can already say that the poem is about a slut girl. As I read it I understand why the author choose that title because it is really about the story of a slut girl, as I continue read it I sympathized the girl because the reason why she became a slut is for her children and some of her children left her to have a happy and abundant life in abroad. When I reach the end and found out that the girl name is "Pilipinas" that's time I realized that the poem has a deeper meaning. It is not only talking about a slut girl but it is talking about our country the Philippines.
The poem talks about our country that once invade by foreigners the Spanish, Japanese and the Americans. How they abuse our country and the Filipinos, but the Americans help us and they have taught us how to read and speak English that's why many Filipinos like Americans. And it also talks about how talented Filipinos are, and how Filipinos go to abroad to work and gain more money to have a better life. I like the poem because it is an eye opener for us Filipinos to realize the importance of our country. We must love our country because we are lucky to have a beautiful one and if we will not take good care of our country we will be the one who can destroy it.
