'KAW AY mapakagKAPE
bisag WA KA'Y PAKE
ANO PA't PAANO si APEK
NAGING EPEK na PARANG
PEKEng GINANG na naNGARAP

NAGYABANG nung UNA
wala pa ang LABAN piling BANAL
pero napa ANU sa BANGAYANG
ALAK ng INA, di niya INAKALA!

Nilabanan si Mhot
HANGAD niya makaakyat
sa HAGDAN ng PALAKPAKAN
pero naTAMASA niya SA MATA
ay malagim na KAPALPAKAN

Oh, si Jezreel PALANG to
TAGOS sa SOGAT na ang mga bato
Pinakitaan lang KITA . . .
TIKA, sa AKIT ng Palindrome ko
sinamahan ng anagram para ika'y mataohan.
Sana'y ika'y maging honest sa iyung
Pangalan.

Kasi pag jina-jumble ko ang Mariel
Nagiging LIAR ME.
Pero ang di BIAS na maBISAng
SABI ng tunay na BABAE
ang TAPAT ay tapat kahit
pa balikbalikatarin ng MARAMI!

TIME! Anygma

Story of Hinilawod

Edited by: Jezreel Madsa EPIC OF HINILAWOD Hinilawod is the oldest and longest epic poem in Panay. It is usually sung for a period of three weeks at intervals of two hours at night. It contains, in its complete form, some eighteen stories. Each story represents three generations.

When the marriage was discovered, Maklium-sa-t’wan, god of the plains and valleys, became angry. He vowed to make life miserable for the unfortunate couple. Together with other gods who felt insulted by the marriage, Maklium-sa-t’wan sent down raging storms and floods to the kingdom, of Paubari and Alunsina.

GOMBURZA: The Execution of the Three Priests

Image
The execution of these three priests is known in Philippine History as one of the grossest displays of sheer antagonism towards democracy. It is true that the phenomenon was precipitated by the 1872 Cavity Mutiny  ; that is,when the enjoyment of the long-standing advantage of laborers was overthrown by the burdensome claws of tyranny. Unfortunately, the dawning of these gloomy clouds of abuse started off when Governor General Rafael Ezquierdo replaced Carlos Maria dela Torre to take control the whole territory for two years. He imposed his iron-fist rule. Forced the Filipino laborers to pay heavy taxes and disallowed any form of reformation be it local or national. Meanwhile, when the mutineers arrived and captured the Fort, they killed Spanish officers and in turn resulted to a menacing skirmish between Spaniards and Filipino insurrectionists. Later on, it was found out by Ezquierdo's Spanish court martial on the 15th of February 1872, that the three priests [collectively

OUR JOURNEY COUNTS BETTER

Image
Towards our long uncertain odyssey Against the unfathomable sea we set No matter what lies ahead No matter what lies beneath Unfurl your sail with courage Trust the wind if the ocean waves Are uneasy to manage Across the distant shore, nakama Will be the end of all the drama The wind will grow calmer Our hopes ‘gain will spark and shimmer The Grand Line awaits our advent For a new voyage that blows a Kiss to the present We’ll bid hello then To the birth of new billows To a stormy gale and a giant whale We may run out of ale And our visage grows pale Regardless if the ship we aboard Be anyhow destroyed and wrecked. . . Or if our hope is prevailed over by our crosses The precious bond and journey Counts better than our losses.
