I attended one of LIRA's lectures last saturday and I finally met Daisyree and, of course, the poet Rio Alma. I'd probably join LIRA next year. And just for the poem it, I submitted 5 of my poems for the 3rd Ateneo Writers Workshop.



Yet another poem in Pangasinan language:



modirnon makaluma



say daan ya galusa

ed silong na acasia

singano aripen

na ataragey ya dikan

abilay nen simmabiy mamauran



anggapo la imay dueg

ya akapagur tan mangakabkab

ed sarayan dika



say abung ya kaoayan

gaoa lad bato natan

akapastol ed gilig

luganan ya kuliglig



say pasyon ya comedia

asalatan lay anime

tan soap opera



onya kami la natan

milmila ed telek

na modirnon mondo

balet anggaman ontan

amta mi ni agagui

so mankemel na bisokul

manpangan na agamang

manlebeg na digo'y bagoong

tan mansawsaw na tinapay

ed imported ya kapi
