In Andres City where my feet grew up
Old street lamps draped nights gently flicking,
I trace childhood with pangs of reminiscences
Where shadow games turned into flamed delight:
Strange, guava trees now ripped by huge skylines--
And Manila founts with blooming shrubs...gone?
I recall pastimes deigned for carousal
Mimicking summers of Roxas Bay's glow.
Etching the ancient plaza of teenage bliss
My shoes roam, this scene now a memory;
Trimmed with fiestas-- folk dances I rerun,
Embracing the girl and young adult in me.
I look and absorb, for the moon will blush
Never exactly as it hangs fair tonight...
And though my heart sinks, it will not forget
Each moment which lives within--ever graced!

The 5th Period of the Spanish Era of Philippine History:
Revolution Against Spanish Rule
Upon the arrest of Dr. Jose Rizal
The Filipinos resorted to another reprisal
When the Propaganda Movement became dead
Another movement, the Katipunan, was founded
If the Propaganda Movement aimed into Spain assimilation
The Katipunan wanted from Spain separation
If the former engaged Spain with ink & word
The latter encountered Spain with blood & sword
The Katipunan became the war machine of the Revolution
Which eventually spread althroughout the nation
At its start, it was headed by Andres Bonifacio
At its finale, this struggle was led by Emilio Aguinaldo
Aguinaldo led many successful battles
The power of Spain in the Philippines turned into shambles
When both sides, Spaniards & Filipinos, already incurred heavy losses
They both agreed for reparation of damages
This is the 5th Period of Spanish Era – Revolution Against Spanish Rule
The twilight of Spanish colonialism, the time when Filipinos were full
Now, this upheaval on a standstill made a deal in Biak-na-Bato
God was preparing a new dawn for the Philippine archipelago.

*Periods on the Eras of the Philippine History
Your little one is on her way
To change your world from night to day
To show you how to laugh and play
Your little one is on her way
Your little one will bring delight
She’ll keep you up all through the night
She'll cry then coo till morning light
Your little one will bring delight
Your little one will bring you joy
You thought at first she’d be a boy
She’ll make her Dad her little toy
Your little one will bring you joy
Your little one will bring you love
She’s sent to you from up above
She'll bring you peace, this Heaven’s Dove
Your little one will bring you love
Your little one is God’s own child
On both of you, heaven has smiled
So teach her to be meek and mild
Your little one is God’s own child

I wrote this poem this morning and read it at a baby shower for Naty Acuna, a good friend of mine from Argentina. Andres, her husband, is the University chaplain and men's dean. Naty is the women's dean. We are blessed to have them at Middle East University. They have come as missionaries. Yes, they will have a baby girl. They will name her Emma. :)

Bayani ng mga Dukha
Mula sa pamilya ng mga dukha
Binhi nina Santiago at Catalina
Itong bayani na tunay na pangmasa
Dahil sa kahirapan, nagtrabaho ng kung anu-ano
Nagtinda ng mga baston at mga abaniko
Naging ahenteng naglalako at matiising bodegero
‘Di akalaing ang lakas ng mga bisig
Maaaring sandata sa mga manlulupig
Ni Andres na pangalan palang ay kaykisig
Subalit ‘di umasa sa lakas ng katawan
Pinatalas niya ring kusa sariling isipan
Inaral ang siyensiya at sining ng digmaan
Mga kababayan ay tinipon niya
Upang sa mga dayuhan lumusob, makibaka
Anak ng Tondo, Ama ng Katipunan – iyon siya!
