Alabir 7

-Ang Lalaking Santelmo-

 

43 Dalawang araw bago ang kasalan

My mga nilalang na bumulabog sa magkasintahan

 

44 Habang si babae ay sa daan pauwi

Na lagi namang hatid ni lalaki

 

45 May mistulang apoy na nilalang

Sa daraanan ay humambalang

 

46 Siya ay mukhang nasusunog na tao

Nagmula sa lupa at kung tawagin ay santelmo

 

47 Inilabas ng binata ang kanyang espada

Dinaluhong ang halimaw ng sandata

 

48 Napuksa naman iyon kaagad

Oh ang dalaga’y kaybuti ng palad

 

49 Nang dahil kay Biriong sinisinta

Muling nailigtas sa panganib si Alyna.

Alabir 8

-Ang Babaeng Bulalakaw-

 

50 At masayang nagpaalam ang dalaga

Sa nag-iisang pauwi na binata

 

51 Pag-aalala ay ‘di maiwasan

Agimat inihandog ng babaeng kasintahan

 

52 At sa kanyang daan pauwi

Panibagong halimaw sumalakay muli

 

53 Ito naman ay sa itaas nagmula

Isang bulalakaw na hugis dalaga

 

54 Sa lalaking si Birio’y dahan-dahang lumapit

Dumampi sa lalaki ang katawang mainit

 

55 Wari’y nang-aakit ang kakaibang nilalang

Subalit sa pagnanasa’y si Birio’y humadlang

 

56 At sa isang saksak ng espada

Bulalakaw naglahong parang bula.

Alabir 9

-Sunog sa Kagubatan-

 

57 Sa bisperas ng kasalan muling nagkita

Sa kanilang tagpuan sina Birio at Alyna

 

58 Napagpasyahan nilang maagang umuwi

Bandang tanghali at ‘di na gabi

 

59 Subalit nang sila’y pauwi na

May pagsubok pa pala

 

60 Paligid nila’y umapoy

Mga nakapalibot na punungkahoy

 

61 Paano na sila makababalik  ngayon

Sa kani-kanilang mga nayon

 

62 Mistula silang nakakulong

Sa isang naglalagablab na patibong

 

63 Sila’y tumaghoy ng saklolo

Sa lahat ng sulok at dako.

Alabir 10      

-Ang Alamat ng Ika-apat na Lahi sa Gintong Lupa-

 

64 May mga sampung taong tumataghoy

Na napapaligiran ng pader na apoy

 

65 Iyon ang mga kasamahan

Ng dalawang magkasintahan

 

66 Subalit isa-isang nawala

Kahit hindi man sa nagliliyab kumawala

 

67 At nang sina Birio at Alyna

Ang natatanging natira

 

68 Biglang nagpakita nilalang na malaki

Ito ay ang mahiwagang bubuli

 

69 Kasama nito ay isang nilalang

Na parang kamukha ng minsang humambalang

 

70 Siya ay nagpakilalang Diwata ng Apoy

Sa Gintong Lupa sila itutuloy.

Tumatarok

-Ang Lambak ng mga Amazona-

 

1 Mayroong isang liblib na lambak

Na kung tutunguhin ay ikapapahamak

 

2 Ng mga sawing-palad na kalalakihan

Kahit lamang mapadaan

 

3 Kalupaang sa punungkahoy mayabong

Naglipana ang mga patibong

 

4 Gawa ng mga binibini

Upang manghuli ng mga lalaki

 

5 “Amazona” sila kung tawagin

Dapat silang katakutan at galangin

 

6 Sinumang magtangkang mangahas

Ibubuhos ng mga Amazona bangis at dahas

 

7 Kaawa-awa kang lalaki ka

Kung padadakip ka sa kanila.

Tumatarok 2

-Mga Manlalakbay-

 

8 Isang bangka ang sumadsad

Sa isla mga lalaki’y napadpad

 

9 Dalampasigan, kapatagan hinango

Kabundukan, kakahuyan tinungo

 

10 Ilang gabi’t araw silang nanatili

Nakapagtanim pa ng mga binhi

 

11 Saanmang bahagi ng isla pumaroon

Mukhang sila lang ang naroroon

 

12 Oh anong saya at galak

Nagtungga’t uminom pa ng alak

 

13 Dalawang ama at limang binatilyo

Sila lang marahil ang mga tao

 

14 Animo’y paraiso na nilang itinuring

Mga tulog nila’y mahihimbing.

Tumatarok 3

-Ang Pitong Bihag-

 

15 Ang mga lalaki’y ‘di alintana

Na may nagmamanman sa kanila

 

16 Sila ay tatlong Amazona

Matinik na mga espiya

 

17 Noong mga nakaraaang araw

Nang sila ay mabulahaw

 

18 Ang mga manlalakbay na lalaki

Sa mga patibong sinuwerte iri

 

19 Subalit wala silang takas

Sa mga mandirigmang marahas

 

20 Isang gabi habang natutulog

Sa kanila’y may nambulabog

 

21 Nang sila’y manumbalik sa ulirat

Nagulat sa mga nakatutok na sibat.

Tumatarok 4

-Ang Nag-iisang Pinili-

 

22 Paggising ng lahat pagkatapos

Mga bisig nila’y iginapos

 

23 Wala nang nagtangkang pumiglas

Dahil mga Amazona’y marami’t malakas

 

24 Kadiliman ay hindi alintana

Patungo sa lambak sila’y ipinarada

 

25 Malalim na ang gabi

Nang makarating sa paroroonan ang mga nakatali

 

26 Mayroon palang kuweba

Sa lambak na kinaroroonan nila

 

27 Ang mga Amazona’y pumili

Ng ililigtas na lalaki

 

28 Napili ang binatang pinakagwapo

Na ang katawan ay matipuno.

Tumatarok 5

-Nakatakdang Kasalan-

 

29 Oh anong hinagpis ng pinili

Pinaslang lahat ng kasamang lalaki

 

30 Sa mga diyus-diyosan inialay

Sa karagatan inihimlay

 

31 At nang si Tarok nalang ang natira

Isang responsibilidad iniatas ng reyna

 

32 Na siyang pakakasalan

At marapat anakan

 

33 Sa loob man ay masakit

Reyna sa kanya’y ipipilit

 

36 Pagsapit ng ikatlong pagbilog ng buwan

Idaraos na ang ritwal ng kasalan

 

37 Walang magawa itong si Tarok

Na pag-angal sa mga babaeng mapusok.

Tumatarok 6

-Mapanganib na Pag-ibig-

 

36 Dalawang araw bago ang kasalan

Puso ni Tarok napaglamangan

 

37 Ng isa ring Amazona

Na pinakamaganda sa kanila

 

38 Ang babaeng iyon ay naghinagpis

Para sa lalaking ibinigkis

 

39 Tuma ang ngalan ng naturang Amazona

Na nakaramdam ng pag-ibig sa bihag nila

 

40 Tuwing nakikitang nahihirapan si Tarok

Puso’y parang tinutusok

 

41 Nais niya itong pakawalan

Bago sumapit ang kasalan

 

42 At nang nagkatitigan ang dalawa

Pag-ibig nadama sa isa’t isa.

Tumatarok 7

-Ang Alamat ng Ikalimang Lahi sa Gintong Lupa-

 

43 Ang lihim na pagsinta

Pagligtas ang bunga

 

44 Sa araw ng ikatlong buwan

Pinaghandaan ang isang paglisan

 

45 Si Tuma ang naatasang magbantay

Kay Tarok na bihag na manlalakbay

 

46 At nang makatiyempo ang may pagtitinginan

Mula pagkatali lalaki’y kinalagan

 

47 At sila’y kumaripas sa pagtakbo

Sa mga Amazona palayo

 

48 Nang sa kanila’y may nakakita

Mahiwagang bubuli nilamon sila

 

49 At nang tuluyan nang nakalisan

Sa Gintong Lupa ang kinasadlakan.

Panaghoy kay PNoy

 

Katabi ko na sana

Ang tiyak na pag-asa

Subalit ako’y napariwara

 

Nang matukso ng mga kalaban

Na lumihis ng daan

At talikuran ang pinanggalingan

 

Kapalaran bumaluktot

Pangarap naudlot

Itinuring pang salot

 

Sa landas nagkandaligaw-ligaw

Nagkapundi-pundi ang tanglaw

Kinabukasan waring napupugnaw

 

Pati mga minamahal nadamay

Sa palubog na barko isinakay

Natibag ang mga suhay

 

Sa pagtakbo ng matulin, natinik ng malalim

Sa paglipad ng mataas, bituin ay nanimdim

Huwag sana tuluyang igupo sa lagim

 

Kung ako’y naging mahina, sana’y patawarin

Ang mabuhay nang wala kayo, hindi ko kakayanin

Nawa’y pakinggan po ang aking panalangin

 

Na ako’y ibalik sa tunay na pinagmulan

Ang kalyeng dilaw – matuwid na daan

At aking isinusumpang mamahalin kayo nang lubusan.

Hail Queen of All Media

 

Hail Queen of All Media

Fit for horror, comedy & drama

Thou hold the scepter of soap opera

 

Thou alone our prime idol

Of rich & poor, masses & all

Cape of charisma to you install

 

Delight of song & dance

Brilliant of head & appearance

Thou don the train of elegance

 

Thy awesome aura to public a jewelry

It’s rigorous to find thee any awry

Thy flawless radiance is a phylactery

 

Any man to you shall kneel & bow down

Black or white, meztizo or mulatto or skin is brown

They stand with awe before thy precious crown.

Plea to the Secretary

 

I can never forget the day

When we went to a radio RGMA

And I brought thee Nescafe

 

Oh our Vice President would be

Forget my hateful words not meant to be

Forgive me please & accept me into thy city & thy party

 

Accept me once again, Sec. Mar Roxas

Do not throw me off thy righteous bus

To the straight path again I must.

Salamat Gob

 

Sa pihak sg mga kabudlayan, salamat sa guihapon

Kay imo ako takus nga ginbaton

Ang kis-a nangin urugtasan nga uripon

 

Patawara ako kon wala nagbalikid

Kon ang akon prinsipyo nagtakilid

Sa pihak sg imo tawhanon nga pag-ulikid

 

Gob, ang akon reputasyon hinali natiphag

Sang ako sa inyo nagluib kg nagbulag

Tani sa liwat ako hatagan ninyo sg paglaum kg kasanag.

Saklolo, San Pedro Calungsod!

 

Ako po’y katulad niyo na nangaral din lamang

At layong ituwid ang ilang mga hakbang

Ngunit panganib ang siyang umabang

 

Itinuring na sigalot ng iba

Naging masakit sa kanilang mga mata

Kaya aking mga hakbangin ay sinawata

 

Inihulog sa dagat na malalim

Kung saan pag-ahon ay marilim

Tuluyang bumulusok pailalim

 

Maaaring ako’y hindi na makaahon

Tuluyang igugupo upang maturan din ng leksiyon

‘Di narin mahahampas pa ng mga alon

 

Subalit habang nariyan po kayo

Ako’y nananalig at hihingi ng saklolo

Nawa’y mapakinggan at matulungan po ako!

Oh God, I Beg!

 

Oh God to You I strongly implore

To strengthen the throne of our governor

And in his domain to accept me once more

 

For when I have left from his secure

On my quest for a greener pasture

I had carelessly bitten their enemy’s lure

 

Oh God to You I sincerely pray

To raise up ABS-CBN like GMA

And their big pipz to me shall never play

 

For I accused them of being unfair

By having with a party a something affair

I hope to that matter they’ll put no more care

 

Oh God to You I truthfully entreat

To set Liberal Party where no one can beat

And that from me they’ll never retreat

 

For when I tried to abandon them

And acted as a rebel with mayhem

I’ve proven I can‘t live without their tandem

 

Oh God to You I firmly beseech

To make PNoy’s regime remarkably rich

And the Straight Path no one shall breach

 

For when I campaigned against him not to be our king

It was all propaganda, personal there’s nothing

I was just in my career a newly hatched birdling.

Faith

 

Oh God, for I’m someone under authority

Having lords and soldiers over me

I shall put my faith on them and Thee

 

Eventhough I am not worthy of care

For I am a person so simple and bare

Almost having nothing precious to share

 

I’m so lowly, the heavens are far

Can’t even afford to buy a toy car

To move up and move on is easy to bar

 

Only in dreams I can reach so high

It’s there where I have seen myself fly

Pillows of clouds they don’t deny

 

But here in real life situation

People experience utter desperation

Others even die out of negation

 

Yet however dark is the night

If in our hearts we have this might

We shall perceive the saving light

 

Oh God, I should have this faith within me

Though of Thy grace I’m not so worthy

I just continue to pray to Thee.

My 30th Leaf

 

Got Thee from flower

Yellow in color

Décor funeral

Until for burial

Leaf “chrysantemunm”

 

Handled by nephew

With some flowers few

For cousin who died

While some people cried

With neighbors and kin

 

Novem. Twenty-One

So hot was the sun

Three o’clock about

Requiem mass we’re out

While slowly walking

 

Near the entrance way

Where tombs nearby lay

Dumarao graveyard

Sarcophagus hard

Towards our clan’s graves

 

Bye Toto Eldie!

No more we see thee

Hope meet you again

There up the heaven

Farewell, my cousin.

Hope

 

Oh God, though they pronounce me incurable

And all of my days will be miserable

I shall still hope that tomorrow’s gonna be gentle

 

For men are created to uplift the weak

They’re also obliged to comfort the sick

As Your Son, Jesus, tended the meek

 

I’m so damaged with outlasting sore

My former radiance is hard to restore

Can do nothing but to always implore

 

Seeking a friend to let a hand

Or a genie who makes wish a command

Or a Moses who leads to Promised Land

 

But as I wake up in reality

Everything’s uncertain, the future is gloomy

Where is the hero who will save me?

 

Oh God, help me to become sober

Though my night seems to be longer

I still must hope that morning comes sooner.

Our Golden Times During PNoy – Part 3

 

Behold PNoy who is like a dragon

Faces no retreat from any contention

 

He has poured down his wrath

On those who taint the Straight Path

 

From a mighty magistrate

Who tried to abominate

 

To a feeble commoner

Who is considered a destroyer

 

And when he flaps his wings

The whole nation sings

 

For he is also just and forgiving

For those who went against him like the Comedy King

 

Because of peace and stable economy

Foreign investors and famous entertainers flocked the country

 

During this Year of the Dragon

Philippines has become a brighter nation.

Charity

 

Oh God, when they have taken away everything

And to me remains but nothing

From You I shall hope to have something

 

A helping hand from a stranger

Shall suffice although I’m meager

Can somehow quench the thirst & hunger

 

By that be thankful I should

By that be grateful I could

By that be joyful I would

 

For it is a grace to receive

Something that I can never give

It can somehow make a heave

 

Oh God, I should make Thee see

That I’m contented and happy

For everywhere & everytime, there’s charity.

Sleep Well

 

There are some visions

In my heart and in my mind

That only I can understand

 

Reading gestures

Chasing conjectures

Perhaps are meant only for me

 

Chorus:

Sleep well – they said to me

Take your medicine – the doctor said

Have a liquor – told by a friend

Drink some milk – mother prepared

 

Sleep well…oh sleep well…

Night’s like eternity

Sleep well…oh sleep well…

For tomorrow’s another journey (Chorus)

 

I hope I can sleep well

Despite the murmurings of bell

That life can turn into a hell (Chorus)

 

I wanna sleep well

I wanna sleep well

Oh tiresome world…farewell!

Prudence

 

Oh God, I’m always full of malice

Thinking that everyone’s ready to chastise

Without considering truth & justice

 

For I have sinned to the fullest

And failed all kinds of test

No one shall give me rest

 

That is why I need to be watchful

Because everyone can be vengeful

To the one who has been sinful

 

Oh God, away me from pestilence

And deliberate abhorrence

Give me care, give me prudence.

My 31st Leaf

 

Obtained thee from up

Just a second gap

For years with a crowd

Holy float enshroud

“San Enchero” leaf

 

From a man on top

Near the icon’s lap

Devotee clusters

Among churchgoers

Near highschool classmates

 

It’s a holy day

It is Good Friday

At early evening

After float blessing

Twenty-Ninth of March

 

About church in front

Diagonal slant

Where people gather

Here banwa proper

One of the last floats

 

It’s memorable

For I was able

To effortless pick

Now’s so very quick

About one second!
