The Alamat experience Episode 3: "Ang Langgam at ang Tipaklong"

Hey! It's me again with another review of the series "Alamat." Today, I am going to talk about episode 3 of the series.

STORY: The story follows a grasshopper named Tony and his friend, an ant (who is not directly named). They have been friends since childhood. The ant is hardworking, while Tony is a bit lazy, reminiscent of the main character of the last episode I talked about, Juan Tamad, though Tony is a bit more hardworking. Anyways, the grasshopper and the ant are friends, and they talk about some "stuff." For instance, one time, the grasshopper asked the ant while he carried food, "Isn't that heavy?" The ant replied that ants can carry objects fifty times their weight, to which Tony replies, "I didn't know that," implying that Tony did not really study, as he later mentions that he missed a lot of his classes.

Anyways, the ant asks him, "Have you been saving food?" Tony replies, "When have I ever been hungry?" and then says, "Why are you saving so much?" to which the ant says, "Because one day you'll find that you cannot find food."

Now, skip to the present, where the ant has two kids (who are also not directly named). It's Saturday, and Tony visits the children and tells them that they can come and see the basketball game. The children want to go, but the ant wants them to help him get food, to which Tony replies, "Is there a day that you rest?" After that, the ant lets his kids go only for that once.

After they went, there was a flash flood. Tony managed to save the kids, but the current took Tony. After that, the ant looked and managed to find him, and thankfully, he survived. After that, Tony builds a house on top of a tree, where he tells the ant that he was going to get married to another grasshopper named Tanya.

The end. Again, I am going to leave a link because there are some parts I left out, so you have to go watch it yourself if you want all parts of the story. Here is the link:

Personal Opinion: The animation is nice, although it feels like a Filipino version of "A Bug's Life." It conveys multiple morals, such as "Always save for a rainy day" or "If you don't learn now, you'll regret it later." And that's it! I hope you enjoyed this short blog. Stay firm, Blogsketeers!
