Sa Dulo ng Mundo

Sa Dulo ng Mundo
ni Mesándel Virtusio Arguelles

Nakaupo ako sa dulo ng huling pangungusap
Ng isang tula gaya ng inaasahang munting bantas
At sa wari ko’y nakaupo sa dulo ng mundo,
Sa bukana ng di-masasabing naghihintay.
Sa aking likuran, ang lahat ng dumaang salita,
Bigat na hindi ko makakayang buhatin kailanman
At nagmamahal. Nililingon ko sila sa abot
Ng buong pagkaunawa sa anumang pagkakasala
Na nakapaloob sa pagbuo ng anyo at nilalaman
Hindi upang igawad ang pangwakas ng husga
At hugasan ang aking kamay na nabahiran ng tinta.
Batid ko ang takda ayon sa ginaganapang papel
At doon ko ibig mahimlay bilang pagpupugay
Sa likhang pinagdaanan ang mundo.

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...
