Here's another poem written in Pangasinan language. Again, all apologies for not translating it into English or Tagalog.

paraison abalang

lamet

abalang lay alenleneg
a paraiso tayo -
odino limmereg

Jollibee, KFC, McDonald's
tan kirarakel ni
unlelesa iran singa balang
ya oong ed katakelan

no oala ka'd atagey
tan araoin pasen
nanengneng moy amayong
ya andekereket a kelpa o lurem
polusion iman alioan uran

saray datin malinlinew ya ilog
marutak la ta ginaoa lan
bantakan na basura
unsabi so panaon ultimon dueg
antakot ya untiblak
napattak so manoc ya atap
ed banget na siplog na dagem

kapigan labat oalay immalagey
ya mall, subdivision tan factory
akabkab la lamet so dalin
ya tanemay pagey tan pising
ageba lamet so sakey a palandey
diad panlabay ya magmaliw so baley
sakey a mega-city

diad ngaran na Progriso
diad ngaran na Progriso
atan so kuanyo agagi
say agyo anta balet
pegley-ngaran itan na
anghil na pansalat
anghil na tiknolohiya
anghil ya tataoagen da'y

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