The whole of Eastern Samar
Is commemorating its historic
Battle joined by local patriots
Of Balangiga and neighboring towns
On September 28 1901, the only battle won
By fighting Filipinos against the Americans
That we call now the Balangiga Encounter of1901
This heroic act in that part of Samar
Placed the Balangiganons and the Waray townspeople
In the realm of historic significance
All for independence and democracy
The final return of the Balangiga Bells
Brought in a global laurel to this very remote town
That has now stood more prouder yet humble
For the ultimate sacrifice by their forebears
For love of country and people.

The 1st Period of the Pre-Spanish Era of Philippine History:
The 3 Races
Thousands of years ago
Came the first peoples into the Philippine archipelago
They were the Negritos, the Indones & the Malays
They came by feet, by boats & by balangays
The first to come were the Negritos
They came into this land by toes
In times when there were still land bridges
These black-skinned people thrived here for ages
The second to come were the Indones
They came into these islands by boats with ledges
In times when land bridges already submerged
These fair-skinned people here emerged
The third to come were the Malays
They came into this archipelago by balangays
In times when Malaysia was ruled by a cruel sultan
These brown-skinned people to settle here had begun
This is the 1st Period of Pre-Spanish Era – The 3 Races
The Filipinos began as civilized people, not as savages
This is the dawn of Philippine civilization
God started the Philippines as a civilized nation.

Slavery is all over the world
The Filipinos are victims of slavery
We have been slaves by Spaniards
We have been slaves by Japanese
We have been slaves by Americans
Our government are fighting slavery
Poor people, we only have government
What if government is the one oppressing
What happen now, the left leaning
The yellow hardliners, the red loyalist
The Lower House, the Senate are united
In oppression, one in corruption, in united team
Oppressing the people, political persecution
Of Political enemies and peoples of faith
Politician have been blinded by money
Which money of the people, tax payers money
Mainstream media is now fostering fake news
The people are smelling silent dictatorship
The people are feeling silent Martial Law
Drugs, crimes and smuggling are proliferating
My country is going to be an anarchy
My country is going to the dogs
My country is going to the crocs
My people is in quandary right now
God, please intervene the affairs of my country, Philippines.

Our Golden Times During PNoy – Part 5
Behold PNoy kicking like horse
Corrupt officials kicked out with force
Senators involved in spoiling pork barrel
Are now holding bars in each own cell
Officers accused in police and medic
Are also not spared from the angst of the kick
If public corruption is sincerely detached
Territorial protection is willingly attached
Established by the visit of Obama
Speaking of foreign, we got something in FIBA
Gilas Pilipinas made us Most Valuable
Proving Filipinos are fans indomitable
Fans of those to country give heart
Fans of those like PNoy who's smart
Go like Rachelle Ann, our pride offshore in theater
Swerve like Michael Christian, our first Olympian in winter.

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
I see my country is in terror
To much political makes our leaders fearsome
Foreseen the future is black
They plan to make a worst exit
For almost three years in office
No big projects has not displayed as accomplishment
The country's whole year budget is almost release
The political election is near but faint suspicion
Worst malady, the gold reserve have been sell abroad
The billions gain has nowhere to be transparent
More loans abroad has been found, no accountability
Transfer of funds from health surplus is diverted
To projects that has already funded to doubly funded
The Supreme Court has found more anomalous acts
As filed cases was serve to the leaders in sitting
More money matters comes in the open unaccounted
Where the purpose not meet but ends is doubtfully willed
People are in quandary of what will the end result to all of this
Dollar rate is stable at fifty eight or more than expected
The economy is quite alarming, more are unemployed
Every department of government has issue of corruption
Mainstream medias are not giving the good information
My people rely on New Social Media which are now in quandary also
Because of the freedom on voices my leaders are irritable
My leader is now onion skin, easily react not in a good way
The issue of not going to drug test is illusive, not acceptable
My people is suspecting my leader's questionable leadership
Making him the puppet of someone else's political ambition
The question remains uncertain of where my country is going
Is it to battle China or favor to someone else's allegiance
When will my nation have a true leader to lead this country
Into a First World Country and make Filipinos proud
Or when will our politicians ends their preposterousness.

4TH PLACE
Rosebuds draft in scarlet, crimson, or maroon,
dreams to capture the viewer's point of view,
as its blossom's sheath their basis to its prune,
magnificent achievers rise in rows queue,
as the loss of age cast their field of thorn strewn,
shadows the facades to pipe a distinct tune,
shear away those sharp pokey points of danger,
and frail petals to amend its life-changer.
Amendments trail the housed maxed of tabletops,
of revived rosebuds claim a home as their own,
a treasured wealth trades with the town's floral shops,
then set at one's front wicket by an unknown,
or adorn tombstones as floral wreaths that props,
and crowned on a princess who sits on her throne,
a taxing burden to detain the death masque,
not tiny but thornless as Bonsai craft's task.
The Pyramid steps like the Baguio steppes,
where Filipinos view as their time-out spot,
the other is ancient for tourists who peps,
while an isle serves the rosebuds to sprout and squat,
nature confides stemmed thornless maroon by reps,
students check articles of the course they plot,
as a new breed of rosebuds shelved a terrace,
elegance embrace the solitaire heiress.
Loosely sketched parcels that the rosebud dwells in,
fresh sod fertile and well-sopped sealed neath the sun,
from its current strain, since its birth in Eden,
inspire blossoming with faint buzzes outdone,
coy rumors, green greener, red redder, seeds in,
East rises, and West sets, how the rosebud won,
Bonsai is an ancient craft not deemed as new,
man named rosebuds since their virgin birth, it grew.
Spring sprung sprouts as their healthy roots hug the ground,
a wealth of newborns reach for the warmth of skies,
its outstretched stem hardens merely being gowned,
a promised promenade paramount to rise,
by patrons, the sun, moon, and earth make their round,
a glowing shape as a rosebud is its prize,
the fields are graced with rosebuds color-filled rows,
as they grow in opened splendor till it snows.
Botanical Society best: Sowers.
ranked by their breeds and regions where they were raised,
down to idyllic truths, forthcoming growers,
who take pleasure in their leisure being phased,
where growth is best tended as their height lowers,
promised its dowery by virtuous praised,
reach prosperous glory in you or outpours,
rain or shine achievers within or outdoors.

The 2nd Period of the Spanish Era of Philippine History:
Our Spanish Heritage
For 3 centuries of Spanish colonization
Much from the Spaniards was gained by our nation
From government & economy to society & culture
We became Hispanized even in language & literature
In government, our barangays led by datus became headed by cabezas
Gobernadorcillos ruled the municipios & alcaldes governed the provincias
Gobernador-Heneral became the head of the whole archipelago
In behalf of the Spanish King or through the Viceroy of Mexico
In economy, we engaged in Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade
Foods & goods were exchanged, taxes & tributes were paid
For the sake of the monarchy & the feudal estates called encomiendas
For churches & infrastructures built by forced labor of polistas
In society & culture, we practiced the Catholic religion
It became the faith of almost our entire nation
Even our language & literature became Hispanized
With Christian & Spanish names & surnames we were baptized
This is the 2nd Period of Spanish Era – Our Spanish Heritage
This legacy & way of life endured from age to age
They subdued us with their sword & the Holy Cross
God through them had made Jesus Christ the Filipinos' spiritual boss.

*Periods on the Eras of the Philippine History
THEY MARCHED* for miles in blistering heat
THEY MARCHED with nothing to drink or eat
THEY MARCHED as soldiers, Filipinos alike,
THEY MARCHED over trails others had hiked
BLOOD FILLED the path of those who balked
STOPPING MEANT death--thus, they walked
THEY MARCHED through mud caked to the thighs
THEY MARCHED on stones and hills that rise
SOME DROPPED from heat and thirst combined
SOME FROM slashes to throats from behind
THEY MARCHED together or marched alone
THEY MARCHED and marched into the unknown
Present-Day WSMR Bataan Death March Memorial
Each windy March over mountainous paths,
men and women brave Spring's gusty raths
Military groups join those walking alone--
a veteran in wheelchair, pushed by his son.
For exercise class, short march is their pick
others, with heavy packs, march twenty-six
Almost ten thousand from around the world
Many with their banners proudly unfurled.
Some view it a contest, some endurance test,
some view it a chance to perform their best.
Finally, they do it to honor those souls
who marched to death in war's bitter tolls.
*In April, 1942, approximately 20,000 New Mexico Guardsmen, from
all branches of service, and 50,000 Filipinos, were force-marched 66
miles across Bataan Island by the Japanese military near the end of
WW2. They endured extreme hardship and no food or liquid. 16,900
died during the march. Many others later died of dehydration or star-
vation. They are honored each year with a march. Often, many Japanese
join the march.
