Mamamagitan sa pula at bughaw
Alagad ng liwanag ang magpapahupa.

Up above the tree
Of courage and bravery
It fell down lazily
To burning trash underneath thee

Then a beast to man a bestfriend
Came by as if to defend
This twig from being churned
In order to be mend

From stone the twig was gone
Going elsewhere for a run
With its host like an Olympian
As if chasing the sun.

36 Dalawang araw bago ang kasalan
Puso ni Tarok napaglamangan

37 Ng isa ring Amazona
Na pinakamaganda sa kanila

38 Ang babaeng iyon ay naghinagpis
Para sa lalaking ibinigkis

39 Tuma ang ngalan ng naturang Amazona
Na nakaramdam ng pag-ibig sa bihag nila

40 Tuwing nakikitang nahihirapan si Tarok
Puso’y parang tinutusok

41 Nais niya itong pakawalan
Bago sumapit ang kasalan

42 At nang nagkatitigan ang dalawa
Pag-ibig nadama sa isa’t isa.

Then it has fallen
Now it was sunken
Unmoved like bedridden

During its loneliness
In this somber place

The seed experienced solace

Downwards creep the roots
Upwards grow the shoots
Alongside carabao boots
Hope not to be crushed by coots.

Las Piñas  - memories sweet
Soul was innocent and neat

I miss the friends of childhood
The closeness of neighborhood

It’s where I learned ABC
Twinkle Stars and 123

I miss the townhouse playground
My afternoon hang around

With Jay, Fritz, Toto, ***-***
Yobi, Cyrene…more than ten

It’s nice when night was brownout
My friends and I would play out

After church mass, family
SM Southmall was hobby

When Holy Week was around
Night film showing on playground

Also on time of summer
Neighbors resort together

When it’s Christmas eve and night
Flood the gifts from left and right

Best is every New Year’s eve
Night’s merriest street party

Visit kin both side parents
Those another excitements

Oh Casimiro Townhomes
I should have never left you!

Once I called myself “Illuminati”
Of the god attendant “Annunaki”
Whence I said “stupid majority”
To the fellowmen of my country

For once I considered me a decoy
Of someone high who can employ
A major disturbance against PNoy
Just like playing cards for toy

Ungrateful, unthankful – they labeled me
Parables laden to rebuke discreetly
As the said majority surrounds me
Drained I all of temerity

Mine – four months of transgression
Theirs – eighteen months of retribution
Forlorn me to concise perdition
Hear my call of reconciliation!

Now this moment of abeyance & disconnectivity
I can feel how my country hates me
Watching the extent of my stupidity
Eat & sleep idly to eternity?!

At ako’y tinirador nga
Upang malaglag sa tuwina

Pero huwag muna, huwag muna
Dahil ako ay hilaw pa

Ngayon naman, may matanda
Na sa akin nagnanasa
At ako’y sinusungkit nga
Upang mahulog sa lupa

Pero huwag muna, huwag muna
Dahil ako ay hilaw pa

Bukas, makalawa, maaaring may isa pa
Na sa akin magtangka
At ako’y hilahin pababa
Upang matuluyan na

Pero huwag muna, huwag muna
Dahil ako ay hilaw pa!

Behold PNoy who is like a dragon
Faces no retreat from any contention

He has poured down his wrath
On those who taint the Straight Path

From a mighty magistrate
Who tried to abominate

To a feeble commoner
Who is considered a destroyer

And when he ***** his wings
The whole nation sings

For he is also just and forgiving
For those who went against him like the Comedy King

Because of peace and stable economy
Foreign investors and famous entertainers flocked the country

During this Year of the Dragon
Philippines has become a brighter nation.
