Not so long ago, Dupax had no electricity, no concrete roads, no piped-water system, no resident doctors, no kids with parents working overseas, no tricycles, no ice-cold drinks, no bakeries, no phones, no videokes, no TV. So how did we cope? Who did we turn to when we got sick? Where did we go to have fun and for news from the outside? This blog gives you a glimpse of how life in many parts of the Philippines was in the '50s to the '70s.
My First Ever Poem in Isinay
BALIWAWAY SI TIYEHAW
Dimmatong mot tiyehawar, Eteng on Idong
Mandiringan mot pay usisiw on pangkantan
Di mantetteyavar dari, avabbayung, on durun
Umungán tu mot pay gi’naar asta nomnom.
Uryan da’ tun anapon, diyoya’ tut di wangwang
Kukkuyappona’ tun mibevoy si dee yar savung
Osan atittino’ maning-aw si dinu war on botlong
On tadah an mansoo’or si mailomar ato’tong.
Uryan da’ tun anapon mu namalintur soy-angar
Alalu, tuldu’ on baruya’ tu mot mantemutemu’
Sivoh o mu tittiwaddona’ tu an manlaptulaptu’
Manuttur si kolang si teyantahar an mabittuh.
Uryan da’ tun anapon mu umali mot di laviyar
Mambaliwa’ tun i’irung, laman, on bavuy si eyas
Ahamungo’ tu ri giyunar darit baiyurar maroot
Uwes un tu ri buwen on bittuwonar maman-oh.
Dumatong ila órasar uryan da’ mot maanapan
Ayon yun tun ilan inoy uwar darin nanlang-ayan
Saon tu daráre umas-asupar atittíno’ on i’irung
Saon tu ri manpasing-awar an dinu on botlong!
(Binebbevoy un sinulat Marso 30, 2016 siri Baguio)
