singa anggapo ni nensaman
noágta esaes ed kaoalan

so agni naangoban a bibil ton

pian nabitla to so ngaran
ya inusar ton amalsa

About | Santiago Villafania

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

This second book by Pangasinan’s leading poet today is impressive in both form and substance. Villafania has created 300 sonnets and 50 villanelles in his own language that a...
