Wara'n True Love

i.
Wara'n true love
kay sabi ninda
an pagkamuot wara'n irong
wara'n baba, wara'n

ii.
talinga, wara'n mata
gusto sabihon---buta.
Love is blind.
Siya, may bayhon
pero uripon, may
irong pero wara'n
hinangos, may baba
pero wara'n boses

iii.
may talinga pero
bungol, may mata
pero hasta niyan
buta. Buta, bungol
dili nakikita, dili
nababatian an tagubtob
san akon kapuso
pun'ok san dugo
nagapat'os, utod buhay.

iv.
Nano pa an
pulos san akon
mga ugat kun
wara na'n pulso
an akon kaila
saiya? Nano pa
an gahom san
pagkamuot kun ako

v.
lang an namumuot
saiya? Ano'n klasi'n
pagdusa an angay
ko himuon kay
agod sabihon na
namumuot ako saiya
sugad man siya
sa akon ginhawa?

vi.
Wara'n true love
kay kita magbubulag.
Akuon mo saimo
sadiri na ako
dili para saimo.

Al Oro Ea, Aroroy!

Al Oro Ea,* Aroroy!

Kadi kamo mga kaigmanghudan
Kadi kamo sa akon atubangan
Imuklat an mga piyong na mata
Iburarat sin dako kun poydi pa.
Niyan na kaadlawon, adi ako
Kag adi ka man, ini para saiyo.
Magarbo na pag-omaw namon
Sa pumuluyo na mapinalanggaon
Usad na lungsod na mamumut-on
Usad na lungsod mabinulig-buligon
Usad na lungsod na maka-diyosnon
Usad na lungsod maayon kaburut-on
Usad na lungsod kun aton kikitaon
Aroroy, kun aton siya tatawagon.
Niyan na adlaw huhubaan ko saiyo
An ilyabo na kintab na yaman san oro
Guin limbas san aton mga minero
Sa kabukidan, nagbuso, pagbutwa oro.
“Aroroy,” tam-is na siyak san iya ngaran.
Magselebrar kita kaigmanghudan
Isiyak naton an tam-is san iya ngaran
Ikurampag naton an aton mga palad
Usad na pagpakita naton san iya halad
An halad na magahatag sin kalipayan
Kay siya an lugar na aton sasayawan
An sayaw na dili malimot-limutan
Bisan diin hale kag sin-o ka pa man.
Kaigmanghudan, sa guin hatag na poder
Ibabandera ko saiyo amon maikontribwer
Usad na sayaw, amon ibandera sa pader
Pagdulang, kun tatawagon san mga lider.

Al Oro Ea,* Aroroy!

I Am A Modern Filipino

I am a Modern Filipino


We are the Filipinos;
The embodiment of endless frustrations
And exhaustible hope;
A personification of never ending aspiration;
Of a spirit broken into million pieces;
Yet unwilling to give up;
An offspring of shame;
And futile struggle constantly seeks respect;
A prisoner brutalized enemies and abandoned
By allies yet remains defiant with unwavering
Dignity and pride.

I am a Filipino;
The care giver of the world;
The worker who never complains;
The wanted undocumented allies;
The voiceless nanny with a golden heart.

I am a Filipino;
The doctor who became a nurse;
Searching for fulfillment measured by
House and cars.

I am a Filipino;
The teacher who ran away from school;
Teaching the Prince’s son
For a princely sum.

I am a Filipino;
The soldier fighting in a foreign war for
The prized citizenship for his family
And himself.

We are the seekers of better life-boundaries,
Latitudes, working conditions, language,
Religious tolerance, and job description
Notwithstanding.

We are Filipinos.
We vowed the world with a string
Of beauties beyond compare;
Entertained with talents—
Roaring from Broadway to Hollywood;
Boxed the lights out of champions; and,
Victoriously clashed with
Brilliant minds.

I am a Filipino;
Inventor of People Power;
Purveyor of bloodless revolution;
Sucker for sweet prisoner
Of would be—kings.

I am a Filipino;
The Catholic whose rituals approximate paganism
With beliefs cry out to heavens
Still, we are for divinity;
A moral life and peace within.

I am a Filipino;
Longing for heroes whom I can’t touch;
Heroes who will inspire;
Heroes who will lead;
Heroes who will live; and,
Heroes who will not die.

We are tired of pretenders;
Of actors and actresses;
Of traditional politicians passed one from
One corrupt generation to the other.

We are tired of being resigned to dying
Without seeing the sun’s glory over our
Beloved country; of being ridiculed; and,
Be the butt of joker.

How I wish we can stand with
The rest of the world’s people;
Claiming for freedom; and,
Equality as my birthright—
Not something I have to die for.

How I wish for prosperity for a level field;
And the chance to compete; Even,
I may not have a choice—
Of my birth circumstances.

We are Filipinos;
Skin brown as the earth, nose hardy
As the mountains.


We are Filipinos;
Living in the orient known for pearls;
From endless seas; of the majestic sun
At dawn and dusk; of the ancient culture; and,
Civilization filled with awe and wonder.

I am a Filipino
Who will dictate my life, my “Obra Maestra”
My greatest feat to children of my own that—
They will be content to be a FILIPINO, and
Be even proud.

We are Filipinos
Who pledge as long as the earth mimics
The color of our skin and our archipelago
Of a broken rosary stays at one.

(An Excerpt from the Essay entitled “I am a Filipino” by Cav. Danilo M. Jimenez,Philippine Military Academy, Baguio City)Written into Poetry by Rodel Delera Añosa, MA Literature

The hours spent is not lost
Coz you talk kind;
Removing my angst and fear
I kept to hold my tears;
I am in search of myself
And you told me it takes time
Every step is a stage towards your dream
It's a step, it's a stage
Of recovery; of conquering the beast within
Within your heart there is something
Loses, achievements, sadness of joy
But what is important is that---
You are not only the person,
the only one inflected;
the reason behind the burden in life
is for us to search meanings;
Meanings so elusive like a puzzle unsolved.
A puzzle---not locked in dungeon
Waiting to be opened and be known;
Many tried to search for the key
yet it was gone long before they held it in their hands;
They failed! But the search is not over
it only started where it began
the key is in the heart;
the heart who knows everything
can feel, can touch, can move
But where is the heart?
