Call me, my Lord, and I will be there
Choose me and I will answer
You are my Lord I cannot reject
Your holy voice I must respect
Let me come to the Holy See
Be ordained and serve Thee
If I am Your priest, even death cannot do us apart!

*40th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

We pray to the Father
And to the Blessed Mother
To the Son and the Holy Ghost

We pray to many, but worship one
We recognize God and His growing clan
For heaven is glorious, His dominion grows!

*45th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Oh God, when they have taken away everything
And to me remains but nothing
From You I shall hope to have something

A helping hand from a stranger
Shall suffice although I’m meager
Can somehow quench the thirst & hunger

By that be thankful I should
By that be grateful I could
By that be joyful I would

For it is a grace to receive
Something that I can never give
It can somehow make a heave

Oh God, I should make Thee see
That I’m contented and happy
For everywhere & everytime, there’s charity.

*My Morning Poems Collection…written on Epihany

I cannot give you a teddy bear
Nor a pair of shoes so fair
Not an apple, grapes nor pear
Never a soft-cushioned chair.

I cannot give you a bounty cash
Earned so slow, but spent so fast
Hurts my pocket, gives it lash
**** that money that don’t last.

The only thing I can give you, dear
Is a greeting so sincere
“May your Christmas for this year…
Be filled with smiles – full of cheer!”

We must willingly confess our sins!

*36th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Oh Pinakamakapangyarihang Dios Ama
Tagapaglikha ng tao, langit at lupa
Panginoon ng Silangan, Kanluran, Timog at Hilaga

Kailan Mo po diringgin
Ang sampung taon ko nang panalangin?
Pag-ahon sa karimlan ay akin nga bang sasapitin?

Kayraming tao sa mundo ang sadya **** pinagpala
Hinandugan ng kapangyarihan at limpak na pera
Subalit kanilang ginamit sa mali at masama!

Ako na itong alam Mo kung saan gagamitin
Negosyong pangtustos sa pagkaparing nais tahakin
Puhunang tutulong sa mga taong may mabuting adhikain

Bakit ipagkakait sa nais pagsilbihan Ka?
Sa may hangaring tumulong sa kapwa at sa bansa?
Dakilang Tagumpay sa Philippine Lotto sa akin po ay itadhana!

A very destructive person
Carrier of devastation
And bringer of desperation

Damnation! Damnation! Damnation!

Who delights in aggression
And enjoys persecution

Damnation! Damnation! Damnation!

A cursed creation
Fit for extinction
And eternal condemnation

Damnation! Damnation! Damnation!

*My Stormy Morning Poems Collection

64 Pagbalik ng mga salaring namangka
Mga kawal sumalubong sa kanila

65 Sila ay agad inusisa
Kung prinsipe nakita nila

66 Sila’y kalalayag mula ibang isla ang sabi
Pagkakita sa prinsipe’y tuwirang itinanggi

67 Subalit maya-maya’y may lumitaw na lalaki
At lubos nagulat ang mga nagkubli

68 Si Agus ay lalaki sa kanilang likuran
Sumigaw ito na dakpin ang mga iyan

69 Nagtangkang umiwas ang mga nagulalas
Nang maigapos, nagpumilit pumiglas

70 Matinding kaparusahan ang haharapin
Ng nahuling mga salarin.

-06/26/2012
*Gintong Lupa Series

71 Sa gabi ng kapalaluhan
Mga salarin isinilid sa kulungan

72 Pinahirapan at inusisa
Kung bakit nila iyon ginawa

73 Ang sabi ng dalawa
Napag-utusan lamang sila

74 Ang utak kanilang ikinumpisal
Iyon ay ang talunang karibal

75 Sa katatapos na paligsahan
Para sa prinsesang pakakasalan

76 Pagkaraan ng tatlong araw
Mundo ng mga salarin nagunaw

77 Sila’y pinugutan ng ulo
Mga kaanak nanlumo.

-06/27/2012
*Gintong Lupa Series

78 Ang ina ng pangunahing salarin
Mangkukulam na maramdamin

79 Sa tindi ng kalungkutan
Paghihiganti’y kagustuhan

80 Mga mamamayan siya’y minura
Tinagurian pa siyang kasumpa-sumpa

81 Galit at lungkot
Pighati at poot

82 Isang gabing may sigwa
Katakut-takot na delubyo tinawag niya

83 Tubig, hangin, buhangin magkasahog
Dumaluyong sa bayang ilulubog

84 At paggising ng bayan kinabukasan
Tumambad kalunus-lunos na kasiraan.

*Gintong Lupa Series

85 Nawasak ang kawayang palasyo
Kayraming nagkandamatay na mga tao

86 O anong salot na mabalasik
Ng mangkukulam na naghasik

87 Buong gabing dagundong
Ng mga higanteng lagunlong

88 Katakut-takot sa pandinig
Sa dibdib lakas kabig

89 Kinabukasan ng umaga
Halos lahat naulila

90 Maging ang hari’t reyna
Nawalan ng prinsipe’t prinsesa

91 Oo, nawawala sina Agus at Dara
Lumipas mga araw ‘di sila nakita.

-06/28/2012
*Gintong Lupa Series

92 Lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat
Sa katotohanan sila ay sinalat

93 Sapagkat ang kanilang prinsesa
At hinirang na prinsipe sa tuwina

94 Ay ‘di naman tuluyang naglaho
Sila lang naman ay napalayo

95 Tulad nina Sibo at Loria
Mahiwagang bubuli nilamon sila

96 Buhay pa naman
Itong magkasintahan

97 Pagdating ng mahiwagang nilalang
Sa lupaing takdang hirang

98 Sila ay iniluwa
Sa Gintong Lupa.

*Gintong Lupa Series

1 Isang prinsesang bawal yumapak sa lupa
Siya ang binukot na si Dara

2 Ang kanyang edad ay labimpitong taong gulang
Natatanging anak ng mga magulang

3 Matuwid at makintab ang maitim na buhok
Mana sa amang hari na mapusok

4 Maputi at makinis ang balat
Mana sa inang reyna na madalaing magulat

5 Tapang at nerbiyos sa dugo nananalaytay
Matapang sa buhay, natatakot mamatay

6 Sukdulan sa proteksiyon at pagka-sensitibo
Kaya ‘di pa nakalalabas ng kwarto

7 Subalit mayroon din naman siyang libangan
Kumanta at manood ng mga mangingisda sa durungawan.

-06/22/2012
*Gintong Lupa Series

8 Isang hamak na mangingisda
Itong si Agus na makisig at masigla

9 Mga magulang niya’y kaytagal nang payapa
Kaya natutong mamuhay mag-isa

10 Gamit ang mga gawang-kamay nito –
Lambat, sibat, panggaid at isang baroto

11 Sa ‘di pangkaraniwang palad ay kasinggulang niya
Ang natatanging prinsesa ng bayan nila

12 Lingid sa kanyang kaalaman
Si Dara ay lagi siyang pinagmamasdan

13 Halinang-halina sa binatang kaygwapo
Dagdag pa ang katawang matipuno

14 Minsan naring natikman ng dalaga
Ang mga huling lamang-dagat ng binata.

-06/22/2012
*Gintong Lupa Series

15 Ikalabingwalong kaarawan na
Ng binukot na prinsesa

16 Ang pagiging dalaga niya’y ganap
Isang prinsipe ang ihaharap

17 Panahon na upang lumabas sa palasyo
Humarap sa mga mamamayan at mga dayo

18 Ngayong nasa harapan na ng madla
Ipakikilala sari-saring mga binata

19 Tangan ang mga regalo
Sa prinsesang sinusuyo

20 At pagtunog ng mga tambol at plawta
Si Dara’y makikisayaw na

21 Sa mga lalaking napupusuan
Na sa mga pagsubok idadaan.

-06/23/2012
*Gintong Lupa Series

22 Ang unang pagsubok ay paligsahan
Na susubok sa lakas at katatagan

23 Inihanda na ng mga binata
Ang mga katawan nila

24 Nagbalu-baluktot, nagbanat-banat
Nag-imbay-imbay, nag-inat-inat

25 Kapagdaka’y ipinagitna sa kanila
Ang isang kahoy na lamesa

26 Inilapag nila rito
Ang kanilang mga braso

27 Para sa pagbubunuan
Ng mga kalamnan

28 Sa huli’y si Agus ang kinilala
Bilang pinakamalakas na binata.

-06/23/2012
*Gintong Lupa Series

29 Ang ikalawang pagsubok ay pabilisan
Ng paglangoy mula dalampasigan

30 Ang mga lalaki na walo
Kailangang makuha ang bandilang ginto

31 Na nakatayo ng mga metrong labindalawa
Mula sa buhanging kinatatayuan nila

32 Mga banderang sa tubig nakalitaw
Na parang sa bangka’y mga paraw

33 Nakatusok ang patpat sa buhangin
Na mga paa’y aabot rin

34 Pangatlo si Agus na nakakuha
Malapit na sa dalampasigan ang una

35 Subalit kanyang ibinuhos lahat ng lakas
Naging pinakamabilis at nauna si Agus sa wakas.

36 Ang ikatlong pagsubok ay palamangan
Ng mga lamang-dagat na pahulihan

37 Paramihan sa tingin
Pabigatan sa timbangin

38 Ito ang pagsubok na itinadhana
Para sa magigng prinsipe sa tuwina

39 Sinasabing diwata’y tumutulong
Sa sinumang may pinkamaraming naikukulong

40 Sa kanilang lambat na inilalatag
Sa mga alon na sa dagat papag

41 Magsisimula ang hamon kapag umaga’y lumitaw
Magtatapos sa paglubog ng araw

42 Nang sabay-sabay bumalik ang tatlong lalaki
Si Agus ang may pinakamarami at mabigat na huli.

*Gintong Lupa Series

43 Mula sa hanay
Ng sa mga pagsubok nagtagumpay

44 Pinili ang nangunguna
Sa palakasan, pabilisan at pangingisda

45 Bilang prinsipe ng bayan
Prinsesa’y pakakasalan

46 Si Agus wala nang iba
Ang hinirang na prinsipe ng bayan nila

47 Ngunit hindi ito natanggap
Ng pumangalawang humagilap

48 Sa parehong pangarap na matayog
Na sa sikmura’y bubusog

49 Anong pait sa pumangalawa
Ang ‘di mapanalunan ang prinsesa.

-06/25/2012

50 Dahil sa masidhing panibugho
Ng pumangalawang natalo

51 Kung anu-anong balak na mabagsik
Ang sa isip isiniksik

52 Buong loob isasakatuparan
Ang kalapastanganan

53 Isang gabing marilim
Baon ay patalim

54 Nagtungo sa prinsipeng nagpapahangin
Sa may bandang baybayin

55 Kanila itong nilapitan
Tinutok patalim sa lalamunan

56 Ibinangka at ibinalot sa lambat
Siniklot at inihulog sa dagat.

-06/25/2012
*Gintong Lupa Series

57 Unti-unting si Agus ng tubig lamunin
Dahan-dahang lumayo bangka ng mga salarin

58 Ang prinsipe’y gupung-gupo
Wala nang pag-asa sa saklolo

59 Pilit mang kumawala sa pagkabuhol
Hindi makapalag sa himulmol

60 Anong klaseng hilahil?
Pagkalunod hindi pigil!

61 Subalit bago pa man malagutan ng hininga
May umagap na isang himala

62 Sa prinsipeng nalulunod, may nilalang na yumapos
Kaagad siyang pinaalpas sa pagkakagapos

63 Binuhayan mga luoy na bisig
Nitong bayaning Diwata ng Tubig.

So you think I’ve been deaf & blind
Who can’t hear & see from behind?

Doors & walls clearly speaking
Floors & roads plainly showing

Omens so artificial
Messages so diabolical

Tired of listening
To a cat meowing?

Want it o go hide & seek
Knowing that it’s already weak?

Wanted/Missing without search
Whipped & slashed by thorny birch

What more discreet persecution
Pack & throw, chop & burn?

Can’t imagine such ****** reckonings
Longing for more sufferings?

You think my mind shall be conditioned
With such dreadful gleamings aforementioned?

And after such ****** execution
Behold the Almighty’s retribution!

Na minsan mo nang dinayo at pinagkanlungan.

Ika’y nagkamali sa dinaungang lupain!
Subalit bakit ka pa nagpumilit sa akin?

Ikaw pa ang naghandog sa akin ng ngalan ko

*for PI 100 under Sir Sansait

Oh God, for I’m someone under authority
Having lords and soldiers over me
I shall put my faith on them and Thee

Eventhough I am not worthy of care
For I am a person so simple and bare
Almost having nothing precious to share

I’m so lowly, the heavens are far
Can’t even afford to buy a toy car
To move up and move on is easy to bar

Only in dreams I can reach so high
It’s there where I have seen myself fly
Pillows of clouds they don’t deny

But here in real life situation
People experience utter desperation
Others even die out of negation

Yet however dark is the night
If in our hearts we have this might
We shall perceive the saving light

Oh God, I should have this faith within me
Though of Thy grace I’m not so worthy
I just continue to pray to Thee.

*My Morning Poems Collection; written on the day I received my March salary

It clings upon the shadows
Touching the lofty meadows
Constant breeze from atmosphere’s bellows
Makes its delicate flesh mellows

Then a bird emblem of wisdom
Soon attracted by it to come
But I had no reason to cram
If I’ll be harvested by someone wholesome

Now the fruit once hanging on air
Rests soundly on its good host’s lair
Not a place for doubt nor despair
Just believe it’s on the right care.

*for TED poem in Salingsing Issue of 1st Sem., AY 2011-12

Ang maitom nga gal-om
Amat-amat naga-abot
Ang kalangitan sa hinali nagadulom

Ako gintawag ni nanay
Kg ginsugo nga maguwa
Agud pamul-on ang mga hinalay

Dali nalang kg maga-abot na
Gani ako nagdasig-dasig
Kay basi ang mamala don mabasa pa.

1863 – ginbata ang isa ka duke nga gamhanan
Si Franz Ferdinand sg Austria nga kapungsuran
Nga ang kamatayon kabangdanan sg World War 1…
1271 – gintagna nga itukod ni Kublai Khan
Ang isa ka dalagko nga imperyo sa kasaysayan
Kombinasyon sg Tsina kg Mongolia – ang Yuan…
Tani ikaw man, Juan, gintagna mangin gamhanan!

*Kaadlawan ni Juan

God created us for a purpose
He created us because…

He wants to share His life
On earth where He made this possible
Though it’s full of hardship & strife
To grow & multiply we are capable!

God created us for a purpose
He created us because…

He wants to share His goodness
To those who have heart, mind & soul
It’s us, humans, who are created in His likeness
Whatever, whoever – we are all His people!

God created us for a purpose
He created us because…

He wants to share His joy in heaven
To those who know, love & serve Him
Through Jesus, His Son, who will come again
On the Day of Judgment & Cataclysm!

*1st Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Receive this green flower offering
As part of our thanksgiving
Oh Green Santa Muerte full of strength
Oh Healing Gift to us God sent

Blessed is Christ, King of Israel
Blessed are we, kin of Azrael
Oh Holy Death for both fat & thin
Oh Santa Muerte clothed in green!

Amen.

Nalagpasan kursong pag-aabogado
Kay Roxas nanungkulang Bise Presidente
Naitatag Sentro ng Pananalapi
Subalit Komunista sa mga nayon umatake.
