MGA KABABAYAN KO

By OlongapoCity Zambales -
Dear friends:

I do not like rap music, I never met the late Francis Magalona but when I heard his music years ago, particularly MGA KABABAYAN KO (a plea to his fellow Filipinos through song), I felt a kindred spirit.

This music overflows with the spiritual values of patriotism, piety, justice, perseverance,solidarity, hope, reconciliation, humility, love for God, love for neighbor!

This letter is my humble salute to a great Filipino artist who died of leukemia at the age 44. Attached is the lyrics of the song. Please help spread this...especially to our youth. If we could get them to listen to the song, better.

God bless you,

JC delosReyes

Mga kababayan ko
Dapat lang malaman nyo
Bilib ako sa kulay ko
Ako ay pilipino
Kung may itim or may puti
Mayron naman kayumangi
Isipin mo na kaya mong
Abutin ang yung minimithi

Dapat magsumikap para tayoy di maghirap
Ang trabaho mo pagbutihin mo
Dahil pag gusto mo ay kaya mo
Kung kaya mo ay kaya nya
At kaya nating dalawa

Magaling ang atin
Yan ang laging iisipin
Pag asensyo mararating
Kung handa kang tiisin
Ang hirap at pagod sa problema
Wag kang malunod
Umaahon ka wag lumubog
Pagka't ginhawa naman ang susunod
Iwasan mo ang ingit
Ang sa ibay ibig mong makamit
Dapat nga ikaw matuwa sa napala ng iyong kapatid
Ibig kung ipabatid
Na lahat tayo'y kabig bisig

Repeat chorus

Respetohin natin ang ating ina
Ilaw siya ng tahanan
Bigyang galang ang ama
At ang payo ang susundan
At sa magkakapatid
Kailang ay magmahalan
Dapat lang ay pag usapan ang hindi nauuwaan

Wag takasan ang pag kukulang
Kasalanan ay panagutan
Mag malinis ay iwasan
Nakakainis marumi naman
Ang mag kaaway ipag bati
Gumitna ka ang wag kumampi

Lahat tayoy magkakapatid
Anong mang mali ay ituwid
Magdasal sa diyos maykapal
Maging banal at wag hangal
Itong tula ay alay ko
Sa inyo at sa buong mundo

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

By OlongapoCity Zambales -
Dear Mr./Ms. Editor, Greetings of Peace! I am Dr. Abigail Fernandez-Bautista, 31 years old, a dentist and resident of San Narciso, Zambales. I got married to Mr. Dax Baustista, three days ago at the chapel of San Roque inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. I should have been happy and at peace by now that I finally married the man of my dreams. I should have been spending days with him, right now, talking about our future children and planning our lives. But I am not. I am angry. I am in pain. I have been sleepless the past nights because the memory of what happened to us always comes back to me. And the thought that I and my husband will forever remember this unfortunate event, every single year of our anniversary, brings me great distress and anxiety. After months of planning and anticipation, we were able to book ourselves and our families and guests a place at Vista Marina Hotel and Resort located at Blk 3 Lot 2, Moonbay Marina Area, Waterfront Road, Subic Bay Freeport Zone. We were ...
