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.

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.

Bakit Nakatungó Ang Uhay Ng Palay

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
