Pagkamulat

Pagkamulat
ni Ruby Gamboa Alcantara

Nirahuyo mo ako
Sa idinating mong kabaguhan
Sa buhay ko
Subalit nang masuong ang buo
Kong pagkatao
Naging malamig ang init
Na dati’y kapiling
Ng katauhan mo.

Nilason mo
Ang kaisipan ko
Sa paniwalang ang sa akin
Ay sa iyo at ang sa iyo
ay sa akin.
Ang totoo
Walang para sa akin
Ang lahat ay para sa iyo

Ibinuyo mo
Na maghimagsik ako
Sapagkat tinakdaan mo
Ang hantungan ng aking buhay
Na dapat sana’y nasa alapaap
Ng isang libo’t isang ligaya.

Ibalik mo man
Ang karangyaan ng lumipas
Na kahapo’y malayo nang manaig
Pang muli ang magagandang
Pangarap; malabo na ang mga pangitaing
Sa guni-guni na lamang makasisinag
Ng katuparan.

Some of our heroes may have been more brilliant or achieved more greatly, but I find it hard to think of any who lived more purely and more single mindedly than Evelio... his commitment to democracy, to social justice and to a life among the poor in our land. Februay 11, 2009 in Panay Island, Philippines is Evelio B. Javier Day. It is the 22nd Anniversary of the assassination of Evelio Javier.

Many in our Ateneo community remember meeting Evelio’s body at the airport two days later, and the Mass and the long march from Baclaran to the Ateneo de Manila on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1986. We had a Mass at sunset in the field beside the Blue Eagle Gym and ended the Mass with the electrifying experience of hearing Fr. Jose A. Cruz, S.J. read for the first time in public the letter of the CBCP on the elections. Evelio B. Javier was born to Everardo Autajay Javier of Hamtic and ...

When I Met U

Some of the devices used in the story to separate the pair are actually dated and had been done by the mother of Leonor Rivera when she broke her daughter’s romance with Jose Rizal. But instead of intercepting letters, it is the cell phone STAR BYTES By Butch Francisco Updated February 12, 2009 12:00 AM In the story, Richard and KC get stranded on a deserted island for a night on their way to a wedding in Palawan. Even if there is initial dislike for each other in the beginning, they still end up having a romance (but, of course — this is a love story!). The trouble is — they are committed to other people: Richard to Iya Villania and KC to Alfred Vargas. From the start there is already a doubt in Richard’s heart about his love for Iya and so we see that their relationship is brittle. From KC’s end, it is easy to understand why she had mixed feelings for Alfred: He is controlling, cold and has no sense of humor. In other words, he is boring. Their proble...
