I just received a forwarded email regarding the plan to organize all the Pangasinan Associations of North America, Canada and everywhere else into an INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PANGASINAN ASSOCIATIONS. Well, it's about time and I can't wait for this to materialize. I hope this is not another "anlong ya imbalikas ed dagem."

On the other hand, here's another sonnet for our Governor-elect Victor Aguedo Agbayani. This is my second poem addressed to him. I too believe that poetry does not necessarily belong to writers and poets, but leaders too, as their keen interest in poetry will help them understand people's aspirations.

sonito 151

para ed sika Ama na Luyag
say mapalayug ya Pangasinan
tan masimoon a pangilugay
so yaoat mi'd mapalar mon agew

alioan mabolik ya balikas
so yabet mi'd sikayo no ag ta
say piugagep tan say pilalek
katekep to'y matoor ya dasal

say maaliguas tan mabulaslas
ya panagbilay na mibabaley

say kanepega'y kailalakan
ya ontonton ed saray aoiran

tan ma-Caboloan ya panuley
a mansiansia'd egpang na aoaran
