The Rain That Reminds of You

The Rain That Reminds of You

Pero paano? “You can speak tagalog too?” naitanong na lang ni Euphie upang hindi magduda sakaniya ang dalawa. “Well. I've been living here in the Philippines with Leonard for three years. I always think that I'm obliged to learn since it's their own language and Besides, I also think that speaking tagalog is the only way to communicate with others. So yes. I do speak tagalog. Pero kaunti lang..” sabay kindat niya.

DECEIVING LOOKS

Tumikhim ako at naka isip agad ng idadahilan. "Nasa Pilipinas ako, sa sarili ko pang bansa hindi ba kabastusan naman kung mag i english pa ako kahit na alam ko naman kung paano mag salita ng tagalog?" "Phew! Makabansa ka pala, hindi ako na inform." "Bakit?" "Wala naman, sasabihin ko lang sana sa'yong bukas mag papagawa ako ng tarpaulin na may nakalagay na suportahan ang sariling atin."

SECRETS WITH THE HOT BILLIONAIRE

Could he be a scammer? : Kakaiba ka, hindi ako makapaniwala na makakaramdam ako ng ganito. (You're different, I couldn't believe I could feel this way.) I am shocked that he can speak Tagalog. I didn't think I could talk to anyone else who was good at Tagalog except Fritz, Ev, and my parents. : Are you Filipino? You can speak Tagalog... A few minutes passed without anyone replying so I just put my phone down again and closed my eyes.

Silence or Kiss

Silence or Kiss

Good thing that I studied tagalog language, my accent will do. “For all of our Filipino audiences here, this song is dedicated to you.” I smiled sweetly as the crowd went wild once again. (This song "Sila" is translated from Filipino to English) He also lost his appetite for a long time Watching the passerby He was always stubborn Eager to feel something 'You are not new in sight You are secretly in my tender embrace In every hiding The expression of emotion is uncontrollable There is no answer to the question Why you matter There is no one like you

Craving The Enemy

Craving The Enemy

Dinner was loud. Filipino-loud. Grant-family-loud. Chaos-loud. My titas sat at one side of the long table speaking rapid Filipino, mixing English every two seconds. “Tyler, ang gwapo mo nung nag-propose si Mason. (Tyler, you were so handsome when Mason proposed.)” “Umiyak ka pa nga! (You even cried!)” “Pareho kayo umiyak! (You both cried!)” “Ang cheesy n’yo. (You’re both so cheesy.)”

Entropy Trilogy 1: Melting The Hate

he turned it into “Salubong sa Bagong Kabanata” Mulat ang siyang diwa ng bawat isa, Lahat ay may bakas ng ngiti sa mukha, Kapaligiran ay busog sa musika, Bata, matanda, handang-handa na sila, Sa pagsalubong sa bagong kabanata, Tuwa’t galak, bagong taon, parating na. I couldn’t help but to smile as I read the first stanza. I just know that he is good at creating Tagalog poems too. He is always using English as his medium.

The sweet revenge of a heartless CEO - Clifford Empire

“Hmm… you speak Welsh, Gabe Clifford.” “You don’t know everything about me…” He grabbed my ass, and I jumped onto him, wrapping my legs around his hips. “Now say you’re going to fuck me… in a language I don’t know…” “Susuyuin kita.” “What the hell kind of language is that?” I burst out laughing as he carried me toward the bed. “Filipino.” “You speak Filipino?” “Just a few words.” He laughed. “Inħobbok għal dejjem!”

The Peculiar Morass

He asked the vendor of Silk. "Itinakbo ng kawatang babae ang aking panundang tela. (A woman had stolen yards of my silk)," says the Filipino vendor. The elite and some Filipinos had learned to understand Spanish but they find it difficult to speak the language. "Una mujer había robado yardas de mi seda (A woman had stolen yards of my silk)" says the neighboring vendor. One of the Filipino folks who knows a little to speak the language had translated it for Estefan.

DEEPER INTO YOU

DEEPER INTO YOU

She looked like she genuinely appreciated the attempt I made to communicate in Filipino, a language I had acquired through my mother's affection for films from the Philippines and our visits to Manila when I was in my teanage era. “Hindi po, tita, ang aking ina ay nag-e-enjoy sa mga pelikulang Filipino at ang kanyang pagmamahal sa mga pelikulang iyon ang nagtulak sa kanya na i-enroll kaming dalawa sa isang klase ng wikang banyaga kung saan kami natuto ng tagalog.” [No, auntie, my mother truly enjoys Filipino films, and her passion for those movies inspired her to enroll both of us in a foreign language class where we learned Tagalog.]

Frequently Asked Questions

One of the most striking collections in 'Six Filipino Poets' is the work of Jose Garcia Villa. His poem 'The Emperor of Ice Cream' is a masterpiece of surreal imagery and emotional depth. It’s not just the words but the way they dance on the page—Villa’s unique punctuation and spacing make it feel like you’re reading a visual art piece. Then there’s his 'Lyric 17,' which captures the fragility of love with such precision that it lingers in your mind for days. The way he plays with language is almost musical, and it’s no wonder he’s often called the 'Pope of Greenwich Village.'

Another standout is Angela Manalang-Gloria’s 'Revolt from Hymen.' It’s a bold, feminist piece that was way ahead of its time, challenging societal norms with raw, unapologetic power. Her voice is so vivid that you can almost hear the defiance in every line. On the softer side, her 'To the Man I Married' is a tender contrast, showing her range as a poet. These pieces aren’t just poems; they’re emotional experiences that stick with you.
