Will be on hiatus for the Holy Week until the 20th of April. I'll surely spend a few days in Pangasinan.



On the other hand, here's a new Pangasinan sonnet dedicated to Jaime P. Lucas, the founder & first president of the Ulupan na Pansiansia'y Salitan Pangasinan (Association for the Preservation of the Pangasinan Language), to Dr. Linda R. Andaya & Leonarda Bartazar, the Dames of Pangasinan literature, to Sergio Bumadilla, an Umaanlong (Poet) whom I really admire for his profound use of Pangasinan language in his poetry, and to Mel Jovellanos, the author and compiler of the new Pangasinan-English dictionary.



dengel yo pa’ya’y sakey a dangoan

panangidayew ko ed sikayon

angipaalagey na pondasion

na Ulupan tan say Balon Silew



ingiya yo ira’y balontobo

ya unakad ed dalan na anlong

naptanga’y kinmigtel ya liknaan

ed liab na balon sinsibilidad



nia nata’y bales ko ed sagpot yo

pinabli yon ngaran igulis ko

Monolith ed libron Malagilion

pamirbir ed sikayon atateng



na salita tan litiraturan

Caboloan ono Pangasinan
