A Filipino Dream - My Spirit
I have a Filipino dream!
Stop the war and wild loud of scream
I have a dream not for myself.
Not a selfish man who thinks of himself.

I have a Filipino dream!
Cease the pain of a poor at the stream.
Three stars are united as one.
My dreams and love...

In Filipino
Sinubukan kitang tikisin,
Sadyang inaral ko kung paano ka saktan.
Pero ikaw ay siyang indulhensiya at indulhente
At ako ay sabik, sakim, at yamot sa katinuan.

Kaya't sa huli, ganoon paman din ang kalabasan;
Inuusig mo ako, at ako, ginugusto ko naman.
Pananaigin at papahintulutang lasunin mo
Ang dugo, utak, pananaw, at...

Filipino Me Not
I don’t need to recognize you
I am conquered not 
I surrendered never to you
I fought till death
I cling to live for death
I enjoy dying to live 
I have nothing to owe you
I am right now to abandon you
I have my rights to do it
I am...

Filipino Roots
What reminds me always of my own identity 
being born in the Philippines, a poor nation;
faith and history that nurture my thinking,
their colossal meaning shows how I am doing.

  Perhaps an upbringing in my own family culture
  can add a vital implication in...

Iggurot Native Filipino Indian
teeming with pride,
humble and its peen.
sometimes only wearing underwear.
culture so rare.
dancing on there own line of drumbeats, 
minding there own a folk music.
so keen on their own particular heritage of kin,
made u of their own ideas and dreams....

Childhood Courtesy
Held the hand of an elder
Whom ye passed by, and
Bring it towards thy forehead;
An apropos of respect!

Never questioned the face,
Never answered the light
Esteem them as thy highnesses;
A gracious child....

Si Juana Ang Nag-Silang
Sa kanilang mga anino,
Kami’y kanilang itinago
Lagi kami ang sinusuyo
Na manatili lang sarado

Na dating walang pumapanig
Noong kami ay nalulupig
Ngunit ngayon, kami’y titindig
At sana’y kami ay marinig

At bakit naman kami matitinag?
Dahil ba kami ay babae lamang?
At bakit kami pa ang maduduwag,
Sa lupaing kami rin ang nag-silang?

Kailan pa...
