SINE
( Salin sa Aklanon mula sa Filipino)
Ni: Charlie C. Reyes

Ginpilahan si Amy
Kita ro anang panty
Ginpilahan man si Rio
Nahueog ro anang suso.

Ginpilahan do bugas
Nagmahae ro gas
Tumangis do misis
Pur dahil imaw hay nabdos.

Ginpilahan do bugas
Nagmahae ro gas
Tumangis do misis
Pur dahil imaw hay nabdos.


SINE
( Salin sa Ingles mula sa Filipino )

They fall in line for Amy
Showing her panty.

They fall in line for Rio
Dropping her boobs.

They fall in line for rice
When the gas price hiked

Mrs. Cried
Because she is pregnant.

Ikaw ag Ako
( Salin sa Aklanon mula sa Filipino )

Ni: RJ A. Ampoyos

Gaiwae- iwae, galiad-liad
Gakinding, gaueo-atras
Sa kaeansing it sentimos
Ag hulikap it hilong.

Nagakaeasunog do panit
Sa maeaw-ay nga tueok
Ag mga iwag nga ga igpat-igpat
Ro mga mata gapiyong sa handum nga
wa it katumanan!

Halin sa madueom nga binit,
Indi matago it aso
Bisan it makahieilong nga ilimnon
Ro gatueo nga eoha it kaakig!

Indi ko mapabugae ing eawas
Indi man ngani ako makabatyag it ueag
Kapareho ko ang kaiping nga turista
Nga permi eang ginadueo-daug-daug kita!

Magkaiba gid-a baea kita,
Maskin atong kalibutan hay magkaeayo?
Mientras ginpamantaw kita,
Ikaw hay ako,ag ako hay ikaw
Hinduna, sa aton nga eugban...

Fruit Stall
Reaction:
This story is an eye opener as it reflects a prominent Filipino trait which is love for imported or foreign stuffs. That even in marrying, most Filipinos opt to marry foreigners with the thought that they would have a better life and the bonus of having a taste of those imported stuffs. It is because of the people’s colonial mentality. Most Filipinos think that white race is better. The author presented this thought strongly by citing part of our history; having been colonized by Spain.
It also reflects the negative perception of other races about the Filipino women which the author made apparent by comparing the women to fruits which are comparatively cheap in our country. That most foreigners who come to our country find cheap just like our fruits which they could get cheaply.
However, it also reflects strong Filipino traits which are flexibility; our ability to adapt to any situation and our concern to our fellow Filipinos whenever we are in a foreign land.
One thing that bothers me is that the main character seems not proud of being known as Filipina. I’d like to think that it is for the sake of her fruit business only…

ORIGAMI
(Summary and Reaction)

This poem implies about the life of our OFW’s, our new breed of heroes, to uplift the quality of their lives and to support their families.

Despite the hardships, living away from their families,enduring all the loneliness of being away from their family, still they face these challenges everyday of their lives just to earn for a living.

Most of them were successful but some of them suffered the cruelty of their employers. They were maltreated, abused or killed.

Even though these things happened, still many Filipinos wanted to go abroad whether they become successful or not, still life has to go on, and like the crane, they kept their wings unfolded to speed up their flight.
