Another sonnet included in the Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan.
"Why is it that I seem to have lost interest in poems not written in my own dialect? For some reason, after having a taste of our own Pangasinan, all others seem to have lost their taste. Maybe they lack our Asin." -- Carlos Pizarro
akin et onya la'y pakalikna
nen narngel ko'y dakep na salita
tan naaralan kon ibalikas
maanlong a sulat Pangasinan?
singa makakarngel ak na danglay
hambayon katekep to'y laineng
mangaar-aron singa salita
na Pransia ya kuan dan romantika
akin et onya la'y pakataoay?
matabang so dangoan a Tagala
ontan met na bayes a salita
pakadisir ko kulang so timpla
anto'y oala o anto'y anggapo
say asin na linguahi anganko?
Filipino-Chinese Friendship Day at CCP
In celebration of the Filipino-Chinese Friendship Day, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China and the Cultural Center of the Philippines will hold a special screening of the monumental epic, "Hari sa Hari, Lahi sa Lahi" (The King and the Emperor) and an international photo exhibition of Steve Zhao entitled China Story, on June 8, 2003 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ (CCP) Little Theater at 6:00 p.m.
"Hari sa Hari, Lahi sa Lahi" dealt with the friendship between rulers of two Asian Kingdoms, the Philippines and China in the 14th century. Paduka Pahala, the king of Sulu sailed to China with a 300-man entourage to establish diplomatic relations with what was then the most powerful empire of the world under Emperor Zhu Di. Based on the annals of the Ming Dynasty and Philippine history books, the P100 million film was the first co-production venture between the Philippines and the People’s Republic of China (PROC) in 1987 and implemented by the CCP and the Beijing Film Studios. Noted Filipino director Eddie Romero co-directed the film with Chinese directors Hsiao Lang and Chou Lili. The film was also featured in various film festivals abroad like the Toronto Film Festival, the Honolulu Film Festival, Cairo Film Festival and the Tehran Film Festival. The film took the Filipino and international cineastes to a century before Magellan discovered the Philippines and to the wonders of Chinese historical landmarks like the Mainland China, the Great Wall of China, Great Imperial Hall in Forbidden City and Dezhou, the actual burial site of the East King Pahala in Jinan province, which were then closed to outsiders.
