Filipinos are hardworking and responsible
Friendly to others and all hospitable
Good moral values and respectful most of all
With long-patience and all lovable.

An usa nga kag anak in diri harumamay
Tikang han katikangan in waray pahuway,
Ngatanan bubuhaton para la magmaupay,
Pagtimangno han ira mga anak nga uray.

Noon ako'y isang paslit na puno ng hinanakit
Halos lahat ng karanasan ko'y ubod ng pait
Noon ako'y isang api na anak ng pulubi
Halos walang makain kahit ilang tanghali o gabi

I was alone listening to a love/sad song
Searching, thinking ideas with imagination
To create a story in a form of a poem
Holding my pen and start writing it down
...

My father wakes up every dawn
Prepare himself and go before the sun is shown
With his carabao bringing stuff for noon
Cultivating land till afternoon.
...

When sky is covered by clouds
Nothing to see but darkness around
Walking alone without helping hand
Searching for something to find light.
...

The life in abroad is not just easy
You will feel like crazy and nothing to see
Homesickness and sadness to the family
Friends and neighbours are all gone away.

Simple woman who does not put make-up
Doesn't follow in fashion, the way she dress up
Long skirt and blouses, covered from bottom to top
Never been seen her fine good skin
...

I got a friend who is powerful above all
Hears me, every time I ask and call
Offering his hand when he see me down
Leading to the right path where the sunrise shown.

But has different roles to play

To be with us; his kids and wife
Be part of all obstacles in this challenging life
In happiness and problems we struggled to survive.

If heart could only speak, I guess it will never be break
But since it only beats that dictates the mind what it means
Through the tongue that choose the right words to speak.
...

It is love when your heart beats so fast
It is love when your face blush
It is love when you are happy
It is love when you are angry
...

A round green or red skin fruit
The flesh inside is pure white
With tiny seeds at the center-part
That sometimes fools someones heart.

While culprit people sleep with gold
As newborn becomes wild and bold
And nature's anger either warm or cold
...

I dedicate all my poems and works to a man
Who gives and shares so much affection
With love, care and great motivation
In writing a poem with encouragement and inspiration.
...

Here I am standing infront of the mirror
Staring and talking myself, eye to eye
Looking at my face analyzing and examining it
Asking question and says Who Am I?
