The major point was already justified at the end of the movie during the conversation that transpired between the creator: Rizal and the creation: Sisa. Pepe emphasized that sisa is the truth that will prevail against the the lies and mistreatment of the spaniards, She is the light among the dark abyss. In the Broad sense, People can perceive that sisa is a mother figure that had experienced sexual harassment, physical abuse, lack of freedom rights and death of loved ones, but in the Strict sense that requires deep comprehension, Sisa can be symbolically represent the mother country who experienced the lack of freedom rights wherein the jurisdiction will always be favorable to the spanish conquerors.

Aside from the Historical facts, I learned that humanistic psychology plays a vital role in a mental stability because according to Maslow, in order to achieve the peak potential or what they call self-actualization, first we must acquire these following factors: the physiological needs, security, sense of belongingness and esteem which sisa all lacks because she is experiencing starvingdue to lavishly spending their money on gambling, lack of safety due to her husband’s beatings, the lack of social needs for she is always seen alone and lastly confidence that was stripped down from herwhen she was forced to walk on shame because of false accusation. Filipino has the mentality which they always overlooked the importance of history on what it can teach us, We always think we cannot benefit from these, we can only gain knowledge but never apply it however I think that during rizal’s time, what they are experiencing is no different from ours, even with a long transition of time, Like rape, murder, stealing. I believed that these kind of movies/novels are intended for the viewers/readers to improved their awareness and especially their coping mechanism. We will no longer wander and ask what will I do instead we will be equipped and ready to face the said situation. (rape,murder or stealing) After days of analyzing and intensive research I have derived to a conclusion that Sisa was under the impression of a mental disorder known as Schizophrenia. According to Psychology being human chapter thirteen : psychological disorder “Schizophrenia was a word that literally means split mind or the patients departure from social society.” Before further discussion, schizophrenia is triggered by what we call depression, According to my teacher in highschool when a person who lost someone they cherished, grieving could occur naturally but if they cannot cope up with the death after three months it’s already depression and if we try to relate to sisa’s case, It could have been her grandmother’s death who caused the depressive state of sisa then it worsen by her son’s death. There are many possibilities on how sisa acquired the said disorder it could be hereditary because her grandmother was seen several times mumbling incoherent words that can be percieve by normal person as weird or abnormal, her grandmother I believed was already suffering from delusion of grandeur in which she acclaimed that she “could bless the corpse of juanito’s mother then finally sending the soul into heaven.” And according to psychology being human: Schizophrenia is “highly heritable, almost certainly a biochemical factor predisposing people that is passed on through genes.”Throughout the movie sisa was seen experiencing illusion even before the death of crispin, for example She mistook a scarecrow for juanito and another scenario was she replaced a bloody image of crispin from basilyo’s figure on the night of crispin’s death. But the death of crispin could have triggered the long-term suppressed mental or emotional instability of sisa that was kept hidden. Depression could have worsen by the impact of external forces for example the harsh environment on a solitary cell that she was confined in after the deliverance of the unfortunate news, the physical abuse of the tenyente’s wife and also the sexual harassement of the jail wardens. On the day of her release, the dim effects of lights could have indicated that she is a crazy, according to psychology being human “patient appears at first glance to be perfectly normal” because moment later she rush towards the church to confront the caretaker who allegedly accused crispin for coveting the church’s collection, she was repeatedly seen Asking for her son’s welfare However her mental processing gradually starts to diminish on that precise moment, when she kept asking,“Nasaan na ang mga anak ko crispin? Basilyo?” this is what we called fixation the state wherein she was fixed on the most unfortunate event that transpired in her life. Patients of Schizophrenia suffers from cognitive deficit or they process information in an abnormal way for example she requested to play tag in the middle of the war, her response to her environment is indifferent also when she act inappropriately during juanito’s confession, her poor compherension can be evidently seen when she cannot recognize her own son.
