-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.

-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.

-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.

-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.

-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.

-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.

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!
