Bucana

Monday 16 January 2012

Morning view in Bucana

Umagang kay ganda;
Pagka-gising mo sa umaga,
kasabay sa pagsikat ng araw iyong makikita.
Saan ka pa makakita ng tanawing ibang-iba.
Kun'de sa Bucana lang pala.

Bayanihan ay nangyayari;
Kapag ang bagyo ay naghahari.
Kapit bisig kababayan;
Panalangin sa may kapal ating higpitan,
Ng atin malampasan ang sakunang nararanasan.

Pangingisda, pagpapadyak o pagtitinda man iyong kabuhayan;
Kayod kababayan,
Di bali ng hindi tayo yayaman,
Ang yaman ay materyal na bagay lamang,
Ang importante tayo ay kontento, maligay at nagmamahalan.
'yan ang taga-Bucana.

Poem by: Inday Jenny Jayon - O'Toole

    i like this "Di bali ng hindi tayo yayaman,
    Ang yaman ay materyal na bagay lamang,
    Ang importante tayo ay kontento, maligay at nagmamahalan 'yan ang taga-Bucana." - very well said.

    I understood your praise for "Bucana" after reading the article in the link you gave. Seems a nice place indeed.

    By the way, the name of your place is spelled "Bukana" in Tagalog which means "entrance".
