Tula ni Jeffrey Cejero Nang Sumuko ang Ulap ni Jepoy Dati, maaliwalas aking kalangitan Nagniningning mga bituin at buwan Sa paligid, ramdam ang kapayapaan Kaligayan hatid ng buong sanlibutan Ngunit nang lumisan ang amihan At pag-asa'y lumubog sa kanluran Nawala ang init at bumigat ang pakiramdam Hanggang binalot ako ng lamig at kadiliman Nang namuo ang kidlat, ito na ba aking katapusan? Napapahikbi, napapahiyaw, tanging kulog aking panawagan Hanggang kailan ako lalaban? Kung lahat sakin, tanging kabiguan Paligid naging tahimik tulad ng iyong paglisan Lamig at bigat aking mga pasan Walang magagawa kundi maging luhaan Isinuko ang lahat kahit ang natitira kong kahinaan Nilunod ang sarili sa kalungkutan Bulong ng hangin, hatid ay kawalan At patak ng luha ko'y tila walang katapusan Umiiyak, naghihinagpis... handa ng isuko ang aking laban Pagdaloy ng panahon, di ko namalayan. Sa aking pagsuko, gumaan ang pakiramdam Bumalik ang init at lumiwanag ang kalangitan Pati mga bituin, naka-ib...

Shared from Amy Lopez PSCS 24 April 2024 Si Juan dela Cruz 🇵🇭 Juan dela Cruz was invented by Robert McCulloch-Dick, the editor and publisher of Philippines Free Press, founded in 1908. He noticed the frequency with which the names appeared on police blotters and court dockets.  He was also notified that the Philippine Catholic Church baptized a large number of children, giving them names of popular saints. He often wrote small verses about Juan dela Cruz in Free Press, and narrations of the petty crimes committed by them. Later on, McCulloch-Dick widened his idea until he made Juan dela Cruz a character representative of a typical Filipino. Juan dela Cruz is associated with the image of a naïve-looking man wearing a salakot, camisa de chino, native trousers, and slippers. Jorge Pineda, resident cartoonist of Free Press, first drew the image of Juan in 1946. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_dela_Cruz __________________________ United States Period Juan dela Cruz Regular Issue,...

Tula ni Rosario Caristea Aka Rio Ramillo  Bakit Nakatungó Ang Uhay Ng Palay Nakatungo akong hindi nahihiya, Kundi sinisinop ang para sa madla, Sapagkat batid kong sa aking aruga, Laging umaasa ang bawat sikmura. Nakatungo ako sa paáng maugat, Siya at ang ako’y laging nag-uusap, Upang alagaan ang butil ng bigas, Na syang magtatawid sa bitukang humpak. Nakatungo ako sa luwad na tigang, Matapos maiga ang nagpálang linang, Laging sumasamo sa sangkalangitang, Huwag ilalakas ang buhos ng ulan. Nakatungo akong may bagbag na puso, Na nakaririnig ng inyong pagsamo, Aking hinahamak ang pagkakalugso, Nang walang hiningang sa gutom mapugto. Nakatungo ako sa araw at gabi, Kahit dinadagil ng mga tutubi, Sapagkat ang minsang malingat nang kási, Nangangahulugang gútom sa marami. Nakatungo akong kapára ng buntis Na nasa kagampang, bigat tinitiis, Aking binabatá ang gintong pasakit, Nakatungo ako dahil umiibig! ~Rosario Caristea BIGKIS NG PANITIK
