Alaala ng Kahapon

Ayaw kitang alalahanin
Matagal na kitang limot
Nagpatuloy na sa pag inog
Mundo na dati tinawag na atin

Ngunit,

Sa tuwina,may munting mga bagay
Sa akin nagpapaalala
Katulad na lamang ni Sting
Una sa Pransya,ngayon naman sa Alemanya
Ni hindi ko alam kanyang mga kanta
Ngunit sa kanyang "fields of gold"
Hinila pabalik sa iyo...

Ang mga maiikling mensahe
Nanghahalina
Sa mga munting bagay dati pinagsasaluhan
Pinapaala dating samahan
Maging mga kumportable 
At di kumportableng katahimikan
Sa pagitan ng bawat
Paghigop at paglagok ng kape
Sayo na matamis
At akin na mapait...

Maging ang tala at buwan
Kahit liwanag ay aandap andap
Sa gitna ng taglamig at tag ulan
Pilit nagliliwanag
Upang puso at katawang balot sa lamig
Nabibigyan ng init

Katulad ng dati
Ngiti hatid sa aking labi..

Maari nga na ikaw ay kalahati ng kaluluwa
Kahit sa malayo,kahit di nakikita
Kaulayaw ng gunita

Ngunit-

Hanggang dito na nga lang siguro
Mga kaluluwa'y maaring mag-ugnay
Subalit mga landas
Hindi na kailangan magtatagpo.

Last Autumn Bloom

Woke up to a chilly morning As night and day seemed to tug at each other Peered through the frosty window pane There in the flickering light of autumn dawn A lone white rose is in bloom… 13 october 2010  Alkmar,Netherlands

An Insider’s Account on the Forensic Investigation of the Nov23 Ampatuan Massacre

The November 23 Maguindanao massacre have shaken many of us. I was in a place with the only access to the outside world is through a 2-channel television when the news of the carnage broke out. Thus, the magnitude of the incident only sinks in the next day when I read it on the papers. A colleague had to make a trip to the City to buy the papers. Scanning the news, a victim’s name from the media caught my attention. A chill ran through me, it was one of our Council of Peoples’ Representatives from the Bagobo tribe, Mr. Napoleon Salaysay, from a local community paper in Cotabato City. I did not have the chance to get to know him fully, but I feel a deep sadness, not only for him but also for the rest of the massacre victims and their grieving families. Like other ordinary citizen, I also felt outraged with the callousness and impunity shown by the perpetrators. When the call from Atty. Harry Roque of CenterLaw Philippines came that his organization is planning to bring in forensic ...
