Check out the July 2003 Readers Poetry at Poetic Voices. Yup, my poem entitled The Mumbaki is also there :)

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

Tagalista kono lanti

1.

oala'y sakey a kaili
taga dia ed norti
akapanaral ed Ibali
nengneng kayo'd kaoanan
nengneng kayo'd kaoigi
umpano kabat yo agagi
so kaluyagan tayon si Osi
ya Tagalista kono lanti
ya Tagalista kono lanti

2.

aminsan ya agew
anempet si Osi
nitan lan amisteng
nitan lan matartaraki
aoaoey to'y sankaili
say buek to balet katlin Anime
akaturo'd apatiran baley
kinolor ni'y ubi tan birdi

3.

say kuan ton sinmabi

kumusta na kayo atsi
andito na ako mama at papa
yo! bai humihinga pa ba?

inmalagey si bai to'd buraka

ay! siopa kan anak na lasi?

aldabisen to laoari
so apo ton si Osi

si Osi ak! si Osi ak bai!

ay pinmuti ka apok
ay pinmuti ka
nanailong ka'd man amo'd Ibali?

4.

nen akalikna'y eres
say kua'y Osi

nagugutom na ako
anong meron diyan ate?

ay anggapo ni agi
maeta ni'ta'y oadta'd kaoali

kabekta inmeyag si sankaili

aray! kinetket ako
ng walanghiyang alama!

5.

angabkabuasan amisteng lamet
sinalong to 'ra'y manbabaskitbol
aki-tryout kono lanti
ed varsity na UST
kugtot diman tan kugtot dia
syut diman tan syut dia
ta oala 'ra'y mamarikit
ya manjalteng tan mansalti
saray kagalaw to akasinilas
oala ni 'ra'y akasalisali
sikato balet aka-nike

6.

kua'y ina

manpainaoa ka la anak
ta naksaoan ka la

mamaya pa dahil hindi
pa ako nag-lilinget e!

7.

kasabi'y labi
tinmaoag so inaro nen Osi

hello... oo andito pa ako Marie
eto nga katabi ko si bai
a...anoooo? wala... wala akong babae!

bengatlan naaldabis si Osi

say amtam anganko
ag ak makatalos
na salita ed Ibali...
ano 'yang sinasabi mo
na wala ka ng bai?

tan sanagin aldabis lamet
so amandeman na pobrin Osi

8.

aya so istoria na sakey a kaili
taga dia ed norti
ya akapanaral ed Ibali
nengneng kayo'd kaoanan
nengneng kayo'd kaoigi
umpano kabat yo agagi
so kaluyagan tayon si Osi
ya Tagalista kono lanti
ya Tagalista kono lanti

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. Barbara, Pangasinan on 31 January 1971, Villafania graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Pangasinan in 1991. 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.

His book of poems, Malagilion: Sonnets tan Villanelles , is an attempt to open the propylaea of literary renaissance in Pangasinan. 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...
