Our Golden Times During PDu30 – Part 2
Behold PDu30 in his 2nd Year of Presidency
The Year of the flaming Fire Rooster
Double Occurrences in our country!
He started the year with religiosity
By declaring January as National Bible Month
During the 4th World Apostolic Congress on Mercy!
In Sports, 2 big events were hosted by our country
The 2017 SEABA Championship & the 2017 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship
As well as the ASEAN Summit in its year of thirty!
Our country also got double wins when it comes to beauty
We championed in Asia's Next Top Model & Ms. Tourism International
This second year of rule of PDu30!
And another “double wins” in other international pageantries
Ms. Earth & Ms. Hispano-America
Where we defeated other countries!
Double-double victory, double-double enmity
The War on Drugs continues, now accompanied by War on Illegal Gambling
Which included the cleansing of our PNP!
Double-double enmity as there was War in Marawi
Which lasted for half a year
Followed by War against NPA of CPP!
As the year blazes with rage over the enemy
Leila was arrested, Sereno had impeachment complaint
The downfall of the liberals continues with gravity!
And another Liberal in the name of Mabilog warned by Du30
Mabilog after Parojinog
Where are you now, Mayor Jeddy?!
Double-double Bans, double-double Road Safety
PDu30 bans Public Smoking & Illegal Firecrackers
Implemented Anti-Distracted Driving & Children on Motorcycle Safety!

Interpretasyon ng Epikong “Indarapatra at Sulayman”
Interpretation of the Epic “Indarapatra at Sulayman”
1.
Noong unang panahon, doon sa lupain ng Mindanao
Puro katubigan ang nangingibabaw
Binabalot nito mga kapatagan
Kaya mga tao'y nakatira sa kabundukan
(Once upon a time, in the land of Mindanao yonder
Rising almost was water
Covering the plains
So people reside on the mountains)
2.
Sa loob ng mahabang panahon
Mapayapa't masagana doon
(For a time lengthy
There's peace & prosperity)
3.
Hanggang sa dumating halimaw na apat
Salot at kasawian ang sumambulat
(Until arrive four monsters
Pestilence & death disperse)
4.
Si Kurita na maraming kamay
Kayrami ring sinaktan at pinatay
(Kurita with many arms
Also many it kills and harms)
5.
Nananatili ito sa bundok na tinutubuan ng rattan
Sa bundok na ang ngalan ay Kabalan
(It stays on the mountain where grew rattan
On the mountain named Kabalan)
6.
Mabangis na higante naman ang pangalawang halimaw
Kung tawagin siya ay Tarabusaw
(The second monster is a giant not tame
He is Tarabusaw by name)
7.
Sa Bundok Matutum ito ay nakatira
Panghampas na kahoy sandata niya
(On Mount Matutum it lives on
A tree club is its weapon)
8.
Ang pangatlo kung turingan ay Pah
O kaylaking ibon ng Bundok Bita
(Pah is the epithet of the third one
Oh bird of Mt. Bita so gargantuan)
9.
Kapag mga pakpak niya'y ibinukadkad
Kadiliman sa lupa'y lumaladlad
(When its wings are opened wide
Darkness on land do not hide)
10.
Sa Bundok Kurayan ang halimaw na panghuli
Isang dambuhalang ibon iri
(The last monster on Mt. Kurayan
Also a bird gigantic one)
11.
May pitong ulong lahat ng direksiyon ay tanaw
Grabeng maminsala ang nasabing halimaw
(With seven heads that can see on all directions
This monster brought so great devastations)
12.
Lubos na mapaminsala itong halimaw na apat
Kaya sa kanila takot ang lahat
(So destructive are these four monsters
That's why them everyone fears)
13.
Maliban sa isang prinsipeng mula Mantapuli
Si Sulayman itong kaytapang na lalaki
(Except for one prince from Mantapuli
Sulayman is this man of bravery)
14.
Si Haring Indarapatra nagpabaon
Isang singsing sa kapatid niyang yaon
(Given by Indarapatra King
To that his brother a ring)
15.
Isa ring pananaim inilagay niya
Sa tabi ng kanyang bintana
(A plant he placed also
Beside his window)
16.
Kapag daw nalanta ang halaman
Kapatid niya'y inabot ng kasawian
(If that plant withers
Death to his brother enters)
17.
At si Sulayman nagtungo sa Kabalan
Tinalo si Kurita na kalaban
(And Sulayman to Kabalan went ahead
The foe Kurita he defeated)
18.
Pagkatapos ay sa Matutum dumalaw
Pinuksa naman si Tarabusaw
(After which to Matutum visited
Tarabusaw too was exterminated)
19.
Sunod na pinuntahan ay Bita
Napatay niya doon si Pah
(Next destination was Bita
There he was able to kill Pah)
20.
Pero dambuhalang pakpak sa kanya'y dumagan
Inabot si Sulayman ng kamatayan
(But he was crushed by the enormous wing
Death to Sulayman was reaching)
21.
Sa oras na iyon ay nalanta ang pananim
Kasawian ng kapatid batid ng hari't nanimdim
(At that moment the plant shriveled
Brother's death perceived by king and lamented)
22.
Labi ni Sulayman tinunton niya
Binuhay ang lalaki gamit ang tubig na mahiwaga
(Traced he the corpse of Sulayman
Using magical water resurrected the man)
23.
Si Sulayman ay nagdesisyong umuwi
Si Indarapatra'y haharapin ang kalabang panghuli
(Sulayman to home decided to go
Indarapatra will face the final foe)
24.
Sa wakas ay napuksa rin ang ibong may pitong ulo
Sa pag-uwi ng hari may nakilalang dilag ito
(At last slain was the bird with heads that are seven
Upon the king's return he met a maiden)
25.
‘Di nagtagal nag-isang dibdib ang dalawa
At muling nagbalik katiwasayan sa lupa
(Not later the two wedded
And in the land serenity reverted).

Santa Muerte, Godmother of the Sick & the Dying
Santa Muerte, Godmother of the Sick & the Dying
Godmother of the Sick & the Dying, oh Sacred Madrina
Bless all sick & dying that they become a warning
Protect them from harm, our Great Valedora
Bless all sick & dying who serve as warning to the healthy
Do not abandon them, our Dear Protectora
Protect our sick & dying who revere the Almighty
Our sick & dying who believe you, our Grand Patrona.
Amen.

The 5th Period of the Pre-Spanish Era of Philippine History:
The Advent of Islam
After centuries of paganism & animism
And the traces of Indianization & polytheism
Came Islam, a religion that worships Allah
From Arabia, brought here by neighbors in Southeast Asia
First by Makhdum, a missionary from Malacca
Then by Raha Baginda, a prince from Sumatra
The former built a mosque & preached Islam by word
The latter brought elephants & propagated Islam by sword
In 1450 came Abu Bakr, an Arab authority
He married Raha Baginda's daughter, Princess Paramisuli
He founded the Sultanate of Sulu, patterned from the Caliphate of Arabia
He unified the Sulu people, both from hilly zone & coastal area
In 1475 came to Cotabato Sharif Kabungsuan
In Maguindanao he became the first sultan
Then from Mindanao, Islam reached Visayas & Luzon
The beginning of our country's Islamization
This is the 5th Period of Pre-Spanish Era – The Advent of Islam
Before Christianity, monotheism here had already come
Islam was our country's first monotheistic religion
God wanted only one god for the diversified Philippine nation.

Pasko sa Krisis
Pasko na naman
Pero gulo ang nararanasan
Ano ang tunay na kahulugan
Ng Pasko sa ating bayan?
Mga taong nag-aasam
Ng kapayapaan sa kapaskuhan
Hindi man lang nakamtan
Ang kanilang inaasahan
Ang Pasko sa krisis
Hindi namin ninanais
Hindi rin namin inaasahan
Ang mga bilihi'y magsitaasan
Ngunit gaano man kalala
Ang krisis ng bansa
Basta may pagmamahalan
Ang bawat isa
Tiyak na sasaya
Ang ating pagsasama
At kung may pagkakaisa
Malaki ang pag-asa
Kaya tayo na't umpisahan na
Pagmamahalan, pagsasama
Pagkakaisa't kapayapaan
Para sa pag-angat ng ating bayan!

Huling Araw ni Papa Francisco sa Pilipinas
Enero Diez y Nueve, Dos mil Kinse
Tulad ng pagdating, pag-alis naging simple
Subalit tulad ng unang araw
Mga nag-antabay sa daan nag-umapaw
‘Di parin natinag ang hiyawan
Ng mga taong sumalubong sa lansangan
Tulad ng pagdatal, panahon ay maganda
Napakaganda ng araw sa umaga
Paglipas ng mga araw na inulan
Bumalik din sa maaraw na pinagmulan
Mula umpisa hanggang sa wakas
Lulan parin ng Pope Mobile na bukas
Sa Villamor meron paring sayawan
Tulad ng unang paglapag sa bayan
Salamat sa wakas maayos na nakabalik
Ang Supremo ng Simbahan na sa bansa humalik.

Prayer for the 10th Commandment
Oh Father God, You have commanded us not to covet our neighbor's goods
This I must, this I should even to their foods
For when You have given what suits us
We should respect what another fellow has
Oh Jesus Christ, help me not to get other's possessions
Do not allow me to commit such transgressions
To God we must give what is due to Him
From God we take only what suits our realm
Oh Holy Spirit, let me respect other's belongings
This is God's command, this can avoid ill happenings.
Amen.

Ikalawang Araw ni Papa Francisco sa Pilipinas
Enero Diez y Seis, Dos mil Kinse
Lulan ng isang simpleng kotse
Unang tinungo Palasyo ng Malacañan
Pinagsabihan mga pulitiko huwag magnakaw sa bayan
Sa pagpasok ng palasyo binasbasan mga bata
Sa paglabas ng palasyo binasbasan matanda
Ikalawang tinungo Manila Cathedral
Pinangunahan pagdaos ng Misang Banal
Sa pagdating, sakay muli ng Pope Mobile
Sa pag-alis, mga umaantabay sa daan ‘di parin papigil
Huling tinungo Mall of Asia
Pinulong mga pamilya sa malaking asembleya
Sa pagsalubong may regalo mula sa may kapansanan
Sa pag-iwan may pailaw mula sa mga nagkakantahan
Ngayong araw kanyang isinulat sa talaan
Panalangin ng pag-unawa, kapayapaan at kaginhawaan.

Prayer for the 8th Commandment
Oh Father God, You have commanded us not to bear false witness
This I must, this I observe with carefulness
For You hate those who make lies
It is not healthful like a vice
Oh Jesus Christ, help me not to be a liar
Lying and false accusations can ignite war
To the Lord I confess everything that is true
From the Lord comes the truth for me & you
Oh Holy Spirit, help me not lie & falsely accuse
This is God's command, this must be put to use.
Amen.

Hangad Ko Para sa Ating Bansa:
Ika-5 Utos ng Dios Ama
Ang pairalin ang Ika-5 Utos ng Dios Ama
Ay hangad ko para sa ating bansa
Kapwa tao ay huwag nating patayin
Sila ay kapareho nating may buhay din
Huwag papatay ng tao sa pamamagitan ni Hesukristo
Na nanggagamot at naghahatid ng buhay sa mga tao
Huwag papatay ng tao na kapwa mo at kapwa ko
Sila ay may buhay din na dapat ituring na sagrado
Huwag papatay ng tao sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo
Na sa Kanyang kapangyarihan ay binubuhay ang mga tao
Huwag papatay ng tao na siyang Templo ng Banal na Espirito
Pumarito sa lupa upang buhayin tayo
Huwag papatay ng tao sa pamamagitan ni Inang Maria
Na kay Hesukristo lumuwal at nag-aruga
At siya ring bumuhay sa Panginoo natin
Nawa'y ang bansang Pilipinas buhay ng tao ay pakamahalin.
