The short verse below was recited by me during a July 4th, Philippine Independence Day at Karomatan, Lanao del Norte (Mindanao) during the Community Independence Day Program after the Parade. Wala pang entablado noong araw. Ginawa nilang makeshift stage was a long sturdy table fitted with microphone stand and a speaker. I remember my late father in his crisp military uniform watching me in the audience as I delivered my micro speech with joy on his face.
I love that memory.
Pilipinas Kong Mahal, que pasa?

Kahit di maganda ang takbo ng panahon ngayon, binabati ko ang Pilipinas na binigyan ako ng kalayaan na makalayas sa bansang nagpapahirap sa amin. Yong serbisyo ng Tatay ko sa bansa binale wala, di binigyan ng halaga at ang buhay sundalo ay wala palang kakwenta kwenta. Matira nga ang matibay. Sorry at ma prinsipyo si Papang. Mga beterano nag self help na lang para mailibing na may dignidad.
