Pila ta kay Amy
Kita anang panty
Pila ta kay Rio
Lawlaw do suso

Lininyahan do humay
Gas hay nanghayhay
Gatangis si Ineng
Dahil sa huring huring.

Ka Ibigan o Kaibigan? (Adopted from “FRIENDS”)

Sa mga makakasalat nitong aking obra
Tutukang mabuti, niyang aking maestra
Mga amigo kong salita’y lubusang alintana
Pag alalang halos ditto naitakda
Paghihirap at gauy, sadyang may mapapala.

Sa kabila ng pananahimik sa loob ng pitong taon
Hindi ako nabalam sa paglalakad kong yaon
Morpema’y sadyang napabayaang manamlay
Pusong sabik sadyang magwawalay
Dahil sa yaong napabayaang pagbabaybay

Kada isang yao’y bumibigay
Komentong nakabaon sa limot nang tunay
Paglalarong parang kunwari at niyang walang pakialam
Paghahambing nitong maihahalintulad sa kapararaan
Tulad nitong lengwahe ng mga sa bundok
Walang bahid ng lubak nitong kanyang daanan
Paano mo maiuukit
And imaheng may kalinawan
Nitong matang lawin niyang taga Malay
Sa kabila nitong ating ‘alang kapararaan,
Mahihinuha kong ni isang saltik ng dila ko’y
May buhay din naman.

Tapat (Adopted from “Patriotism” by Ee Tiang Hong)

At talagang marating ang takdang panahon,
Kahit lumampas pa sa pitong henerasyon
Ang ikapitong langit na ating layunin
Bawat isa ba ay makakatikim?

Sa makapal na kagubatan
Na roon ang gintong kayamanan,
Naghahari pa rin;
sakit, gutom, pati kamatayan.

We are very lucky that our group was able to attend the seminar workshop. We had learned much about Philippine and Asian literatures likewise the thought on using the net.

Speakers were very enthusiastic and experts on their topics discussed notwithstanding their being Doctors of their chosen field. They had mastery that causes the discussion very lively.

Amazingly, our interest to reading literary articles have been triggered because of the very convincing powers of the speakers to advocate reading literary on cultures and heritages of different walks of lives and different corners of the globe.
