I read the following poem during the Pangasinan Festival of Culture and the Arts at the Faculty Center, UP-Diliman last December 3, 2007. This poem is about the last voyage of the Cattle Caravans of Ancient Caboloan. Dalityapi sa Huling Paglalakbay 1. ang mga bumabaroy ng Caboloan ilang salin-lahi din silang naghari sa mga daan at lansangan upang sundan ang bakas ng kanilang mga ninuno at haraya ng lalawigang pinagmulan salamin ang kanilang paglisan ng mabagal na pag-usad ng panahon at pananatili ng kinagisnang yaman-lahi larawan sila ng tadhanang nasa bingit ng pagkawala at debolusyon bawat hakbang sa kanilang paglalakbay ay bilang ng mga hapung sandali hanggang sa marating ang lilim kung saan pansamantalang mananahanan at palipasin and lalim at lihim ng gabi 2. may awit at tula ang bukang-liwayway may hele ng pag-asa ang paglipas ng dalitsuyo sa tag-araw at dalitlumbay sa tag-ulan subalit sadyang ipinagkait sa kanila ang katuparan ng sansiglong pangarap sa ngalan ng paglago at pagbab...

Reading my poem " Erolalia " in public for the first time.

Webmaster/owner Fer Basbas gave the usual welcome address with Literary Editor Jose Jason L. Chancoco as host. The guest writers/readers were Ford Scholar Frank Peñones, Kabulig Auditor Marissa Casillan, Kabulig President Estelito Jacob, Salakab ringleader Jo Bisuña, Medtech-Poet Sonny Sendon, Kabulig Treasurer Dr. Judith Salamat, Vox Bikol columnist Vic Nierva, Catanduanes writer Gerry Rubio, ‘Tigsik Queen’ Aida Cirujales, The Pillars staffer Elmer Ramos, and love poets Lance Gulim and Tess Rey. The 4K Barrel also rendered Bikol songs during the intermission Also in attendance were Bikolista and entrepreneur Ram...
