Marahil di n’yo po tanto
Halaga ng leksyon ninyo
Bawa’t tula, gintong puro
Pag-ibig sa wikang Pino
Bawat talatang piniho
Nagbukas ng mata’t ulo,
Florante’y bayaning nobyo
Laura’y bayang Pilipino
Gurong minahal, idolo
Parang anak kami, oo
Kahit iba’y magugulo
Di malilimot, Mam Lojo . . .

Written in Dalit style (4x8) Philippine Poetry, this is dedicated to Mrs. Corazon Maralit Lojo, our teacher in Pilipino (Filipino Literature) way back 1974-1975, during our second year as high school students in The Mabini Academy, Lipa City, Philippines
