MAKAKABANGON DIN AKO!
(SKULL FRAGMENTS) by: Romel N. Angara
Rommel N. Angara was born on August 20 1980 in the town of
baler in the Philippine province of Aurora as the youngest sons of
Rodolfo R. Angara, Aurora and Milagros D. Nazareno. He is a Filipino
poet whose poems became published in publications such as pambata,
Sipag Pinoy, and Liwaway. During his younger years, he witnessed his
father always being drunk and a regular smoker also the occasional
domestic violence of his father toward his mother, who eventually got
fed up and left their house. This turned him into poetry writer and wrote
his first ever book entitled “Why Do They Cut Me Oh Lord?” which
appeared in ‘Pambata’ in 1998.
Kaharap ko’y aking inang nagulantang sa pasya ko.
Sakbat ko na ang aking bag. Winika kong taas-noo:
“Kusa akong mabubuhay kahit naman wala kayo.
Ang totoo, di ko naman kailangan ang tulong n’yo!”
The first stanza is showing how rude and proud the person is, to
the point that he is no longer giving respect to his family to the point
that the person is going to live his house. And the bible says ‘honor thy
mother and Father’. It is one of the golden rules of the life and of our
creator, disrespecting our parents is equal to disrespecting our creator
too.
Ano’t nagkatotoo nga ang pangahas na pahayag?
Nakapag-aral nga ako sa pamantasang kaytanyag!
O, kaylaking tulong sa’kin ang scholarship na natanggap!
Biyaya rin para sa’kin ang hawak kong tutorial job.
Nang makapagtapos ako, ang tangi kong naiusal,
“Sulit lahat ang hirap kong pinagdaanang kaytagal!”
Summa cum laude nga akong walang dudang itinanghal;
ang iginawad sa akin labing-apat na parangal!
Indeed, the fruit of hardwork is really sweet, especially when we
Pagtuturo ang propesyong niyakap kong buong-puso;
mismong sa alma mater ko’y ganap akong naging guro,
nag-masteral, nag-doctorate – henyong hindi sumusuko
sa pagtuklas ng mayamang kaalamang nakatago!
The fourth stanza show how the person strives and aim for the
top still his feet is on the ground for other people. In our lives we
should never stop learning. And in order for us to be successful we
should not stop in learning new things, we should be always open
minded.
Di nagtagal, ang lakas ko’y parang tubig na natapon
nang maganap ang sakunang puminsala sa ‘king cranium.
Ilang tinedyer nanggulo sa may campus isang hapon;
may namaril, may nambato paglabas ko niyong classroom.
Operasyon sa ‘king ulo’y nagawa ring buong husay…
Ang sabi ko sa sarili: “Kahit ako’y nakaratay,
kahit sa ospital ako’y ilang linggong agaw-buhay,
makakabangon din akong anong lakas, anong tibay!”
In the fifth stanza there is a tragedy happened in the character
were some wild teenagers made a commotion and that caused a injury
in to the character. We all know about the ‘ralista’ or the people who are
against to the rules of the school or on how the school system runs. We
should always remember to never be against the system of the school
of something especially if they only build the system for the good also if
the system is supporting you.
The sixth stanza indicates that we should never give up. There is
a reason for everything; the life given to us by our God has a purpose.
While we are still breathing we still have a chance, even though we only
have a zero point zero-one percent left with we still need to be positive
and optimistic, we still need to fight and never lose enthusiasm because
that is success.
Ang paliwanag ng doktor: himala nga ang nangyari’t
tunay akong nakaligtas sa madugong aksidente.
“Ang skull fragment na ‘nilapat sa ‘yong ulo’y nakabuti
sa paghilom ng ‘yong sugat. Professor, God is kind, you see.”
God is kind, He is our savior, God is in control, indeed, He will
never put us into some situations we could never overcome. Just like
what Jesus did to Peter, He made Peter walk into the Water without
sinking and Peter did! We just need to have faith in Him. Faith can move
mountains just like what the bible says.
“May skull fragment na ‘nilapat sa ‘king ulo?” ang nasambit.
Kanino po nanggaling, Doc?” Ang tinig ko‟y nanginginig.
Tugon niya: “The donor wants to be anonymous, indeed.
Mahalaga’y ligtas ka na. Professor, now you’d better sleep.”
Pagtalikod niyong doktor, hindi niya namalayan
dala-dalang dokumento’y naiwan n’ya sa higaan.
Gulat ako sa nabasa: donor kamamatay lamang,
nasa morge’t wala palang kamag-anak na dumamay!
Lalo ko pang ‘kinagulat: donor pala’y aking ina,
inatake dahil sa’kin sa „tinding pag-aalala!
Bilin niya sa brain surgeon: ang buhay ko’y dugtungan pa
kahit siya ang mawala’t tuluyan nang mamahinga!
Theme: The greatest love of all is a parent’s love, a mother’s love.
They are the one who loves us unconditionally. They sacrifice their own
lives for us to have our life. Our mothers carried us in their womb for
nine months, Remember the saying that when a mother is pregnant her
one foot is on the grave especially when they are giving birth to their
child. They spend their whole live in working and taking us a good care
that even to their last breath the only thing is in their head is you, us,
her child. Thinking what will happen to their child if they die.
