P-hilippine Independence Day
H-ad been proclaimed twelfth of June; 
I-t was the year eighteen ninety-eight, 
L-iberation lives neath the moon.
I-t was the freedom from foreign control, 
P-romise of reform was made; 
P-eace process in the country
I-ced the war as the smoke did fade.
N-ation's Independence Day was...

Young and full of life you write
Words of trials and love.
Wanting all too see 
Those words hid inside.
Encourage I have
To make you see 
Who you could be.

We are so for away 
So we wrote away
In greatful encouraging way
Not to sway
Into harms way
But to show our...

We dropped anchor that morn in Bacuit Bay.
I wanted to make El Nido our stay,
Philippine paradise where white sand beach
and many near out coral reefs do lay.
Matinloc Island crevice hard to reach
underwater door I wanted to breach
leading to “pristine place of paradise.”
Often I’ve heard it...

M-any tourists the world over
A-re in Mayon's safety site; 
Y-es, the amazing lava fountain
O-f the volcano is clear at
N-ight.

V-iew the Philippine perfect cone, 
O-nce you travel to Albay; 
L-ove the beauty of nature, 
C-herish the ashes that pass by.
A-ll things are nicely created 
N-o one...

R-ise of the sun begins, 
O-pening the morn with light; 
D-awn has just broken, 
R-aindrops fade after the night.
I-t's a beautiful day, 
G-ray clouds don't gather; 
O-nce the storm is gone, beacon bathes the weather.

D-ark shadows disappear, 
U-nderneath the blue sky; 
T-uesday twenty-eighth of March,...

Created by the omnipotent sovereign Almighty
I’m privileged to bear this scriptural distinction: 
“fowl that may fly above the earth 
in the open firmament of heaven.” 

By virtue of a special proclamation
I have been declared the national bird of our country.
Soaring with such honour, I thank...

Sadly gloomy news fill one with dismay;
still old habit is hard to change and they
continue to read newspaper each day.
Thinking why negative news made their way.

Throughout the world many good things happen
but those don't get honor to be caption;
such works get backseat how could this...

R-ising sun twenty-fourth January
O-pens the day with light; 
S-hadows have disappeared, 
E-arly morn sets things aright.

C-oal clouds and haze
A-re both nowhere in view; 
M-ist and fog fade away, 
B-lack sky becomes blue.
O-pen your life to beacon, 
N-ever hide your aura; 
G-o and start watching
G-ames at...

Philippine dwarf sunflowers
Beautiful, swarming all the way
A walk to go nicely looking
The flower seeds that was cast away
Now scattered blooming without end
Among the rocky greenfield
As far as eyes can see smiling
Noonday hot yellows swayed by the wind
Just beneath my knees kissing my skin
Below my gaze...

A vast, restless blue,
a heart that beats with the monsoon's pulse,
a frontier,
where sky and water wrestle,
and islands, like scattered jewels,
catch the sun's fire.

Not just a sea,
but a story etched in currents,
a tapestry of tides,
woven with the whispers of fishermen,
and the silent, watchful gaze,
of ancient reefs.

Habang nilalakbay itong karagatan,
Iba't ibang kulay ng ilaw ang nasisipat
Kadilima'y alay rin sa mamamayan
Puting walang galaw, iba nama'y pakipat-kipat

Parang pasko sa dalampasigan
Ilaw ng mga motor sa dagat, kumukutikutitap
Ang masilaw na puting ilaw, dinaraanan
Sabi'y halika'yo mga isda at kulisap! 

Dasal 'wag lang lumapit ang kidlat
Nang pamilya...
