4. Freddie Aguilar
Anak
Nung isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
At ang kamay nila
Ang iyong ilaw
At ang nanay at tatay mo'y
Di malaman ang gagawin
Minamasdan
Pati pagtulog mo
At sa gabi'y napupuyat ang iyong nanay
Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo
At sa umaga nama'y kalong ka ng iyong
Amang tuwang-tuwa sa yo'
Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na
Nais mo'y maging Malaya
Di man sila payag
Walang magagawa

5. Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago
Nagging matigas ang iyong ulo
At ang payo nila'y
Sinuway mo
Di mo man lang inisip na ang kanilang ginagawa'y para sa yo
Pagka't ang nais mo'y masunod
Ang layaw mo dimo sila pinapansin
Nagdaan pa ang mga araw
At ang landas mo'y maligaw
Ikaw ay nalulong
Sa masama bisyo
At ang una mong nilapitan
Ang iyong inang lumuluha
At ang tanong nila ANAK
Ba't ka nagkaganyan?
At ang iyong mata'y biglang lumuha
Ng di mo napapasin
Pagsisisi at sa isip mo't nalaman
Mong ika'y nagkamali

7.  Based on the song by Freddie Aguilar, the child
was not fully dependent to God as to the reason
why the child lost his/her way for we did not
become what God willed us to be.

8.  Based on Morality and Spirituality, the actions of
the child has affected the lives of those around him
mainly his or her friends and family. By diverting
from the right path, the parents and friends are
worried about the child. While the child only
decided based on what he or she wants not
concerning himself or herself with emotional
factors such as the feelings of his or her loved ones

9.  Based on morality and ethics, The standards of
right and wrong actions in this song are defiled by
the child because he or she chose to follow his or
her physical and or mental needs; thus
compromising the bases of what is moral. But
upon later events, in the ethics side of the song;
the parents successfully made an impact to the
child to become a good person.

10.  As a person of God, every person wants to be
happy, it is natural for human beings to pursue
happiness throughout their lives. In the song, the
parents wished for a happy life with their
child, and the child wished to be free to do what he
or she wants in life; which is also a form of
happiness.

11.  The parents failed in moulding the child’s
character to that of a person for God. In the
song, the parent failed in guiding or educating
their child in the life of God; thus the cause of the
child to divert from the right path.

13.  The person whose faith in God is strong in
the parents for they believe that in due
time, under the guiding light of the
lord, their child will walk down a path of
goodness and faith

14.  Hope resides on the parents for when their
words cannot shake their child’s firm
disposition. They instead turn to God for
influence on their child.

15.  The child’s belief in God is slim, thus
reflects the child’s love for God. Because
there is no love for God, he or she is diverted
from the right path because there is no such
guidance.

17.  There is no ideals in the setting of the song “Anak” by
Mr. Freddie Aguilar. It is because the set rules and
principles of the parents were not met by their child.
The parents judge their child’s character based on how
well their child follows their rules and principles.

19.  The one who sinned in the song is the child; for
because he or she did not respect his or her parents
and mostly he or she ignored the teachings of the
church. Because of seeking freedom which the
child abused, and done things that despite his or
her parents’ continuous appeal of change, the
child still defied his or her parents.

20.  The child did not respect his or her parents; thus
violating the fourth commandment which is
“honor your mother and your father”. By not
listening to the appeals of his or her parents for
change and continuously doing things which
causes grief to his or her parents.
