TIRIRIT NA IMPIT

Paunang bungad ng makatang KU RIS
Tapos na Ang Araw ng Kalayaan ngunit hayaan niyo akong ibahagi ang piyesa kong Ito.

Panlulupig nga’y lumipas



Panlulupig nga’y lumipas
Sa hawla’y nakaalpas
Malaya nang maipagaspas
Pakpak ma’y punit at gasgas

Ilang táong nakipagduwelo
Sa mga dayuha’y nakipagpatintero
Hanggang tuluyang tumalilis 
Sa paniniil at hinagpis

Anong galak sa puso’y namugad
Mga sisiw hinanap, kaparanga’y ginalugad
Ngunit bakit, pagtangis ang siyang bumungad?
Inakay’ nakapiit, sa kasamaang palad.

Inahing lanta, sa hilahil ‘di pa nakahinga Dalit ng kahapon pilit pang iniinda
Umaaligid, lakas inihahanda
Upang inakay, masagip— makawala.

Ngunit sa paglibot kaniyang napaghulo
Mangangaso’y kayumanggi, kakulay pa‘t kadugo 
Waring isang balaraw, gumuhit sa yaring puso
Bakit sa pag-uwi, sugat ang natamo?

Sa dayuhan ma‘y nakaalpas, natuwa‘t nagwagi
Ngunit sa sariling parang mga inakay’ nasawiKalayaan! 
Kalayaan! hiyaw nitong labi
Umaasang may makarinig— nagbabakasakali.

Ngunit nabigo, pita nitong puso
Hiling ma’y umulyaw kahit saan mang dako
Sinuyod; nakarating sa mga nakaupo
At sila’y bumitaw, salimpapaw na pangako.

Kaawa-awang munting ibon Minalupitan ng kahapon dinakma pa ng Leon 
Sa sariling pugad, inaka’y ikinulong
Sigaw na paglaya, nanatiling bulong

Anong sinapit nitong panaghoy?
Pakpak lumagutok, nabali’t lumoyloy
Karapata‘y inapakan, inabuso’t binaboy Sa rurok ng pang-aabuso, lumuha’t humaloyhoy.

Saan pa ba kakatok at lalapit?
Dahil pag-asa’y ‘kay dilim, waring nakapikit 
Saan mahagilap, sagot sa lahat ng bakit?Sa sariling kagubatan, binubusala’t iniipit.

Hanggang kailan ikukubli, balisbis ng luhang pumapatak? 
Hanggang kailan iindahin yaring siphayong umaantak?
Sinong magsisiwalat sa kuwentong sinapit? 
Na waring naging ritmo, ng tiririt na impit.

DALAMPASIGAN SA PANUBIGAN

Tula ni Jeremiah Chavez Eufemio DALAMPASIGAN SA PANUBIGAN Sa lagaslas ng dalampasigan  Doon ko natagpuan ang kapayapaan Hatid ng hampas ng mga alon At banayad na init ng dapit hapon. Sa mga puting buhangin ng Panubigan Doon ko natagpuan ang karangalan Sa matapat na araw ng pangingisda Nang dumaong ang kanilang bangka sa dalampasigan Salat man sa karangyaan ng modernong pamumuhay Sagana naman sa kasiyahan at kapayapaan Kay gandang pagmasdan, kay sarap balikan Ang dalampasigan sa Panubigan.

UNSWERVING SERVICE TO HUMANITY

15 August 2024 THANK YOU FOR THE LEARNING, LESSONS & MEMORIES By Duoi Ampilan  Since 01 August 2024, I officially ended my deployment in Ukraine. Though short (4 months), my deployment was among the toughest, most challenging and most difficult. The last 45 days were among the things I would never wish for. Ukraine was my 14th country of deployment and the 24th country I traveled to.  After all the twists, turns, trials, tensions and torments, I am feeling tired.  Being a Humanitarian Worker is said to be among the Most Dangerous Jobs because of the associated risks and uncertainties aside from the daily stress & tensions. Where there are calamities and crises from disease outbreaks to earthquakes, displacements to war and devastation, humanitarian workers are there. We offer our services, our time, talents and for some our lives!  We also have the fair share of the things that make us love our work - the opportunities of reaching many places of historical im...

And then branded and sold as either pfizer, moderna, astrazeneca, etc. IMPLICATION: ALL COVID VACCINES FROM THE WEST ARE BIOWEAPONS 3.

Kennedy Jr. details how the NSA was in charge of Operation Warspeed's COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, the history of the United States bioweapons program, and why Anthony Fauci is the highest-paid government official in history: "The weird thing about the pandemic was this constant involvement by the CIA, the intelligence agencies, and the military. When Operation Warp Speed made its presentation to the FDA committee called VRBPAC. When Warp Speed turned over the organizational charts that were classified at the time, it ...
