Moros Filipinos

Before,
people are not Filipinos and Moros.
They're Mindanaons and Sulus.
Now they are being hid by two levels:
Filipinos and Moros.
The old names would be buried
forever if not rescued.

Overseas Filipino Workers

Sacrificing loneliness in other country
                                                        For family’s welfare
                                             Considered as heroes by Filipinos

The Dilemma

It's 42 Degree Centigrade. The moon
      shines hotly in Dammam.
Indians and Filipinos bathe
      in soak of sweats.
Grinding their teeth
      of desolation and contemplation.
One thought of going
      the other is still
In dilemma of decision.

Change Scamming

Drowning in ignorance, in streets of blood,
My people have religion but no God.

In every election voters are blind,
They hope on promises, they've lost their mind.

They view candidates as their messiah,
In truth, it is to God they must return!
Stubborn Filipinos.... they never learn.

Philippines' Pacman

Pacquiao hails from GenSan
Here in Philippine land.
Inspiration to his countrymen
Loves to watch him once again
In the ring fighting ‘til the end
Punching opponent but treats him as friend
Praying in the corner, giving God the glory
Idyllic, like it was such a wonderful story
Now you know Filipinos are serenely beautiful and happy
Ease yourself for I present to you humbly,
Sovereign island country

Ode to Filipinos

You are a race,
So one of a kind!
Uniquely seen
in any place.
A race with glee
In humanity.
Finds peace in God,
And happiness
In calamity.
A race so kind,
It's culture shines.
A mark of pride, yet
Nor black or white.

Short and brown,
They may be.
But remarkably 
Is their capability.
Your work shows
A native gold,
Where heart's in place
In any phase.
And when they stand
Or work their hand,
Their dignity
remarkably can't hide,
Definitely,
A Pinoy Pride!
