I should have posted earlier but my new found friend, Jason Chancoco, dropped by the office. We chatted for hours about poetry and poetry-related things while browsing the internet. Jason is going to have a section on my site for his articles. Watch out for the first issue of Chancoco's Nest. Hmmm... sounds cool, huh? What says you, Jason?!



On the other hand, here's another poem in Pangasinan language.



pitoran anlong



1.

si Pedro ya sangkategteg

toon agaylay biskeg

agpit toy duaran lasong

anggad man ed baley na Tolong



2.

si laki Pilias aman

taga diman ed Binalatongan

sikara kono et oalay kakabatan

no manpastol na dueg

diad toktok na kakaoayanan



3.

si capitan tiago na Mangatarem

ag tablay antokaman a tarem

agka manpapasirayew

ta no sikay naponiti

duplak kan singa sengeg na ponti



4.

diad ciudad na San Carlos

karaklan na totoo dumaralos

et no inkasibeg so pantutungtungan

agmo ilalastog diman

no alioa kan amputi layag

ta agka manbayag



5.

oalay istorya nensaman

diad baley na Mangaldan

si tomas a kaoatan

nilooban toy daan ya simbaan

nen takeoen toy coronan balitoc

inusilan na singano butayong a kamontoc

sa pobrin kaoatan

binaliw toy ilog na angalacan

nansumpal man lamang diad kulungan



6.

paunla ed Mapandan

oalay dalan ya nansangaan

diman naimatunan nen bai Marin

parada daray dikay dalin

imanum iray ayep akateoek

unalaguey iray bago tan buek

no narengal lay rakatag na tambol

mandepa kan tampol

pian agka samaren

say ulon agda kalaoiten

say kamaleruam agda aoiten



7.

naistorya nen bai Pinang

nen marikit ni ed Bayambang

kinaraw na tikbalang

nen asabian nen ama ra

imay lasin tikbalang

inusilan day barang

angindat si laki balet

immalaguey tan impanengneng

sangkarangan ay piclat ed ebet

About | Santiago Villafania

Santiago Villafania is a bilingual Filipino poet who writes in English and in his native language of Pangasinan. Born in Tuliao, Sta.

Villafania advocates for the resurgence of Pangasinan as a literary language. His works in the vernacular are some of the most representative, if not among the few that comprise that Pangasinan contemporary literary body. In his first book Balikas na Caboloan (Verses from Caboloan), the Pangasinan anlong resurfaces asserting its tradition amidst intersecting and pollinating genres and literary influences.
