Reaction on the poem "Benches missing"

Stealing is one of the common crimes existing in most part of the world. But in our country Philippines stealing is an ordinary routine among Filipinos especially the lazy and the needy ones. These people who are involved in this illegal activity lack self discipline, resourcefulness, and hard work. Some Asian countries are progressive because they are industrious and they value development.
I find this poem very realistic.


Mga Bangko Nagkaeaduea
Translated by Grace Cruz

Medyo kangawa- ngawa nga ro mga bangko mismo hay nagakaduea, mauron eang kasimple sa mga manakaw.
May nakakita, nga ro mga bangko hay guin karga sa mabahoe nga saeakyan
Sa owa it swerte, ro plate number it saeakyan hay nakita,samtang gina sundan it mga pulis ro saeakyan paadto it Pampanga pa Nueva Ecija.
Ro saeakyan hay nasundan sa Talavera nga kon siin gin reklamo it tag-ana, pero ro hambae it manakaw gin baligya kuno kana it tag-ana nga an-um nga dag-on eon ro nakataliwan

Ano pa baea ro mabinlan sa kalibutan nga pagatakawon.Pagkataliwaan it sangdag-on, ro sangkasike ni Bonifacio sa anang monumento hay naduea man.Kada Domingo ro manakaw nagakaduea sa lugar.Kada gabii ro mga barangay Tanod, hay naga patrolya para masikpatan ro mga saeaakyan nga naga aligid-aligid sa lugar.Bisan ro Chocolate Hills sa Bohol naga umpisa it kaduea.Tan-awa baea ro eaeaki ngaron nga kalbo,ag owa it mga alima.Imaw mismo ro naga buyot it manibela ko anang saeakyan sa binit it kalye nga kon siin gulping naduea.

Owa magbuhay ro makabueobueo ro mga gwardya nga nakakaeo it puti sa monumento ni Rizal hay nagkaeaduea man.Pati baea ro Bulkan nga Mayon hay andang pagasamaran?Ro puno it niyog para sa manami nga panan awan sa post cards hay indi eon makita.Ro ay Krip Yuson nga buhok ay gin patag-uran,ro ay Ophelia nga make up hay naduea,ay Manuel Legarda nga gitara hay indi eon mapuslan it paggamit.Hay! sin-o ro makanta?



Reaction on the poem "Mrs.Tsismis"
By:Gay Fuentes


Mrs.Tsismis is a poem that made use of Taglish and phrasing grammar. It is entertaining and meaningful. It reflects the true way of life of Filipinos. Making gossips is an integral part of us. Funny but true. The character in the poem is always on time to deliver hot, juicy and fantastic gossips. Even if she has not seen the actual thing that had happened, she was able to add spice to the said “kwento” and eventually made a big deal out of it. If you listen to this person, you will lose your sanity and sense of direction. A person who is the subject of a particular gossip should learn how to choose his/her own battle and as much as possible he/she should learn to be objective because gossips can degrade one's personality.


Reaction on the poem "Sine"

Ang tula na pinamagatang “Sine” na isinulat ni Marra Lanot ay tungkol sa mga palabas na naglalarawan ng ibat ibang mukha ng buhay na ginagalawan ng bawat isa sa atin. Marahil ito’y mga totoong kuwento o pangyayari na nasasaksihan natin sa ating komunidad. Dala ng kahirapan,tayong lahat ay may kanya kanyang diskarte para mabuhay. Ang mga salitang ginamit ni Marra Lanot sa kanyang tula ay nasa di pormal na anyo sapagkat gumamit siya ng mga Balbal na salita.


Translation in Aklanon
“Sine”

Ginpilahan si Amy
Nakita ro anang pante.
Ginpilahan si Rio
Nagloyloy ro anang suso.

Ginpilahan ro bugas
Nagsaka ro presyo it gas
Nagatangis si Misis
Por dahil imaw hay nabdus
--- Camille Derramas
Ang Tula dito sa Pilipinas ay naglalarawan ng mga saloobin ng mga Pilipino. Maaring ito ay nasa pormal o di-pormal na pamamaraan.
Ang Tula naman sa ibang panig ng bansa ay gumagamit ng mga piling salita maaring ito ay kathang-isip lamang.

Reaction on the story "The Return"
By: Rose Lumauag

A story of impulsive and immature love between two young lovers whose parents had sacrificed a lot for them but they had taken the wrong path.

Marriage is not always a bed of roses especially to the young ones. Indeed, I love the idea of the writer of this story. Love alone is not enough to marry the man or the woman you love. One must be emotionally, financially and spiritually ready because you can’t easily say NO or say GOODBYE if your life is miserable. It is a lifetime commitment.

The message of the story applies to everybody. Think and make a tough decision. Decision making is not that easy as changing your clothes. There is no regret at the beginning but always in the end.

Reaction on the poem "Jolography"

We are living in a new society; and we cannot deny the fact that the behaviors and even the language of the teenagers could hardly understand by adults. That is why there is always a conflict or argumentation between teenagers and adults.

I like the essence of the poem because through this we can learn new words from the teenagers. Whether we like it or not, we must forced ourselves to understand the language of the teenagers nowadays so that there is no conflict between teenagers and adults.


Jolography
Translated by Elanie Reteo

Patay kang bata ka,
Nga pirmeng astig kung pumorma

Mad ayad kung maghambae
Kapareho it Crossing Ibabaw.

Pirmeng nagapacute,kada Miyerkules sa
Baclaran, “Pakipasa. Sumakay ka eang”.
