JOSE ABAD SANTOS

Neng Dayang Azul1


Gerero ning lipi kambe nang Soliman
Mibwal at ginato alwa ning Bangkusay;
Metung yang “MAPUTI” pete re king Mactan,
Laksang-libung kawal—mesawi, Bataan;
Ing makipasari, ya ing katrayduran—
A pamaglusub ding – bakukak a Sakang!

Amidst the cruelty, amidst the adversity
Patriots of Pampanga bowed not their gallantry!
Jose Abad Santos the Jap’s flag faced death fearlessly!
Didn’t salute the Jap’s flag – faced death fearlessly
To the weeping Pepito he said “Come my son, listen to me,
Death with honor is sweet than life in ignomyny!”

Walang saysay ang mabuhay sa ibabaw nitong lupa
Kung tayo ay api naman at aliping walang laya,
Mabuti pa ang pumanaw, ang mamatay, mamayapa
Kaysa tayo’y busabusin ng kung sino mang banyaga;
Sa’yo Jose Abad Santos, Fernandinong dinakila
Alay mong kabayanihan…, tataglayin nitong bansa,

At kanita sinabi na king anak na pakamalan:
“Eka kikyak, ipakit mu, king balen ta ing tetagan;
Wari’t iti ya nang kalma- ing mate ku king balayan
Para kaku, sari sampat … at bihirang kamatayan!”
Saka ra no pikawaning ena mikit kapilan man
Uling itang suging Ibpa – tulandung ne king kutkutan!

O bayaning Abad Santos, kapilan man e miwale
Ing depat mung kabayanyan at ing lugud mung dalise,
Karing pusu ding komanggi magyamut at mangulate
Ing pakamal a tenam mung… sakdal yumu, sakdal tibe;
Angat ating aldo saslag karing parang at marangle
Purian miya ing lagyu mung… ena mapda ena mate!!

NINU Y DON PEDRO ABAD SANTOS?

Neng Felix M. Garcia

Ninung e makakila kang Don Pedro Abad Santos
A kabilang karing liping king tepangan mipabantug?
At mas biryan na pa keta ing bie maybug mate danup
Kesa king timawang bili a kemulatan nang lubus;
King ba’na mu sang apatpat ing sistemang e makatud
A mengibabo kanita king gamat ding asinderus;
Keta a nung insanu ring king marangle e patugut
Ilang alang ‘yuling pale keng bale neng papalut!

Makanano, kulang namu, ing e ra ngan solwan keta
Ding ganid a propetaryu, itang pupul king gabun da;
At pablasang ma-prinsipyung tau ketang panawun na
Ing land reform”, ditak-ditak pinla na nekanita pa;
Pati social justice program ning Presidente kanita,
E na pitakutan niting pinintas arap ning masa;
Pikanlapang de I Perico Central Luzon ding makwalta,
Uli na ning ukulan da iti suksuk ya karela.

Pablasang mibait ya man king dase ning kayatinan,
I Don Pedro simpli yamu at alang dit mang ketasan
Kaya ding pakakalulu, ilang dapat munang sawpan
At sukat nang ipagluwalu, laban king e karampatan;
Nung inyasa’t keti Central Luzon iya ing mitaguryan,
“Champion of the Peasants” ngara at peka-founder na bilang
Ning “Socialist Party.of the Philippines king kabilugan.

Bilang abogadu, e la ditak kilub ning aldoldo

Dapot libri mu ing serbisyung pagkalub na karing tau;

Detang alang pilisunan king kalukan a masolu;
At keta nung ating datang a mamitbit sa’ng rigalu,
King keraklan king magdala, ipauli naming pihu.

I Do Pedro makanyan ya kasampata a pilubluban
At e ya migkait sawup kenu pamang mengaylangan;
Nung inya king meginh bie na wa man e ibat king kalukan,
Biryan na pa king pakakalulu mu miglayunan;
Kabang king Balen Minalin niti sindu ing kimutan
A belangkas deti laban king e ustung kalakaran;
Angga na king iting labor leader taya misalunan,
At isuku na ing sabla king Ginung Dios a miglalalng

PAMANDALO NANG RIZAL KING SAN FERNANDO

Neng Francisco M. Guinto
July 19, 2008

San Fernandong tibwan; ding supling mu’t daya
Ing lugud king balen king puso e mapda,
Dit man e peylupig ibat pa king mula
Laban karing daywan- a ‘lilung Kastila;
Panasbuk at pluma alang makasila
Sasyo alang kanglap… ba ’ta mung milaya!

Mumuna kareti—ila ding Hilario
Tubu Bo. San Juan tulid PASUDECO
Ing bale rang matwa yari ya keng bato
Adwa yang palapag matibe’t kongkreto;
Ketang balkonahe karin mipagkwento
Adwang mikapatad—Cecilio’t Tiburcio.

Samantala naman, ating istranghero
King istasyun ning tren keti San Fernando,
Ing aske na’t piblas marangal yang tao
At kayang pangutang bale ding Hilario;
Itang mamasada a matwang kutsero
Agad neng inatad… itang pasahero.

Inyang dalakit ne king tete linipat
Ing taong magsarya layun yang linakad,
Karas na king eran, linakbang, minukyat
Ngana: “Aku’y Rizal”—minyabing memasyag;
Ding mipagsalitang adwang mikapatad
Agyang mebigla la---seganan deng agad!

Ipagmaragul da ing kayang panyatang
At iti tinggen dang antimong dangalan,
Kaybat ning masaya a kapagmananwan
Biklat da’ng problema—ning Indung Balayan;
Pulyetos at aklat inggil keng “kimutan”
Kareng mikapatad…, miglakwan ya’y Rizal.

Dapot y Despujol, ‘tin yang direktiba
Pabante nong lubus,-- lubus nong pagwardia
Batangas, Laguna, Cavite’t Pampanga
Lalo na reng bale…, Rizal delawan na;
Dekap dong Hilario—mesukul, migdusa
Kerakpan lang librong gamit propaganda!

Kaybat nang miugse Rizal king Dapitan
Ding adwang Hilario peyaus da no man,
Nasa ring Kastila karelang patutwan
Rizal yang pekapun, managyag labanan;
Dapot di Tiburcio ero apatukyan
Ere penganyaya--- ing bayaning Rizal.

Dayang Kapampangan, king uyat mamagus
E ‘biasang duruku, ing bie man makatakmus,
Buryan da pang mate emu mabusabus
Ing dangal da’t puri king siwal migapus;
Nuwan lang Fernandino, pupugayang lubus
Tepangan da’t lugud--- keng laya menatbus!!

NICOLASA P. DAYRIT

Ing Patriotang Fernandina
Neng Francisco M. Guinto
Siptyembri 10, 2005


The glorious date, September 10, eighteen hundred seventy four
Ushered the birth of an infant who crowned her town priceless honor,
She was a Florence Nightingale to our comrades in rebellion
She sewed and embroidered the flag of the Pampango Battalion;
As heroes’ blood reigned in her vein she bravely risked her noble soul
To win our independence from the cruel hands of oppressor;
Nicolasa Dayrit would smile to this sacred celebration
If she were only alive today... the heroine whom we adore!

At pablasang lug lipi ra, sapni’t dayang ilustrada
Meragul yang makawili at uliran lug asal na,
Piyanista ya’t migkolehiyu meging “mujer educada”
Pagmaragul ne’t dangalan ding dalagang Fernandina;
Pamaglingap nang gerero at kabas nang Tandang Sora
Seludwan de’t kinwang myembru na ning Junta Patriotica!

Nganang Rizal; “Eya dapat maging Indu ing babai
Nung turwan nyang kamangmangan ing bunsu nang meging suli
At ipande ne pamisip, kareng sermon da ring Prayle
Ba’ya kanung miras king Dios king bie’t aldo bandang tawli;
Paragulan neng mulala ‘lan respetu king sarili
At “masa1ang-matang-bu1ag” kimi, dungu, mataloti!

“Metung a Indung Spartan ya ing dapat tang apusan
Lalu potang mayaus ya ing supling na king labanan,
E ne salikut king saya na nune kusa neng palakwan
Ban kaya yang ipaglwalu... ing karelang Indung Tibwan;
At e bala nung mete ya iti e ne man tangisan
Basta’t ilang mig-victoria... king lagyu ning lamutakan!”


Iyan ang payo ni Rizal minsan noon sa Malolos
Sa mga kababaihan sa kanya ay nakatanghod
Ngunit dito sa Pampanga, dapat lamang niyang matalos
Mga dilag, matatapang, matalino’t takot sa Diyos;
Piping saksi ay si Dayrit kailanma’y di malilimot
Kabayanihang alay niya sa ‘ting bayang iniirog..

Civic-minded group of women; San Fernando City Council
And the Panlilios join hands to bring back the remains of our heroine,
The exhumation from Loyola was done with joy and drops of tear
Amid the heroic welcome which led to overnight vigil;
Headed by our active Mayor, the remains of yesteryear
Were re-interred in the same yard where she used to play, laugh & dream;
The monument they have built, is, to my mind, so dwarf and nil
As a tribute to her bravery, gallantry… heroism

Katatawlyan kung sambitlan man e miwaglit
King bilungan ning istorya makasulat, mababanggit,
‘Nyang y Luna at Maskardo at parehüng sari bagsik
Misalubung itang mua ra, mibungil la’t misunggalit
Dapot karin king Baculud yang menawat a linapit
Ing bayani tamung Dayrit ketang Luna’ng gagaligit!
Dapat ta’yang parangalan ing aldo nang pangabait
Ing patriatang Fernandina, y Nicolasa P. Dayrit!!
