Temistokles Adlawan or should i just say tem adlawan he is the author of the story “one day on the road” Tem Adlawan was born on Dec ,21 ,1930 in Naga Cebu. He is one of the major fictionists of cebu. He has written poetry, short stories, and novels, or subjects ranging from rural to urban his style varies from the collequial irreverent manner of his highly humorous stories to the fluent imagery and poetic evocation is thought- provoking narratives. late, Nov 17, 2009, he was an award winning author of cebu.He died at the age of 79 by drinking hemlock. I really like this story because it gives a lot of lesson that we should apply in our life because nowadays people live there life to the fullest and not minding what other people will think of them but i get them because life is short and we only live once so let’s live our life like it is the last day of our life but we shouldn’t forget that not all will understand us because whatever we want we should not forget other people because in the story they’re tricycle drivers so they should drive carefully and safely to their passenger’s destination or else it will cause a lot of trouble the author tells us to think first before doing such things. Before we regret things we won’t forget. I rate this story 10/10 because i was really shocked on how the author explains the story differently and on how he gives us knowledge about it and to think clearly on something whatever the situation were. I recommend this story because the author reached his goal. To give moral lesson to all of us. Let’s take care of our life because god gave us life to experience how beautiful his creation was
