Resilience.
Yes, I come from a people,
Widely known
For strength and versatility--
The way we brave adversity
With cheerful smiles
On our weather-beaten faces;
Yet, that doesn't endow you
With the privileged license
To callously use me
Nor abuse me.

-

United by matrimony
Took a vow of fidelity,
To care, support and love deeply.
For the sake of family,
Crossed seas and flown the skies,
Working days and night
For our growing family,
I keep your pictures on my wallet
On my phone, even requested my boss
To share their WIFI with me.
So i can see your face your smile
And hear you melodious voice.
They all know how much you motivate me.
I miss you terribly, the distance won't matter
You're the only one and always be.
Just like i promised you my fidelity
I'll keep it until eternity.

Iba't ibang tao
Iba't ibang kwento
Ng bawat pilipino
san mang dako ng mundo

Sakripisyo
Na kailangan ng dedikasyon at tatag ng puso
Upang pangarap ay maabot

May mga pinapalad
Mayroon din naabuso ng amo
Minsan ay may nasasawi
Para sa kapalit na maliit na salapi

Iniisip ng marami
Kapag nasa ibang bansa
Dolyar mo ay anong dami
Ngunit iyon ay maling mali

Hindi nila batid
Ang unan mong basa ng luha gabi gabi
Higaan mong kay sikip
Kwarto mong kay dilim

Putok mong labi dahil sa lamig
Balat mong sunog dahil sa init
Pawis mong natutuyo
At kalam ng tyan

Pangungulila sa pamilya
Kalungkutan ang dala
Hirap at sakit pilit kinukubli
Sa likod ng halakhak
At matamis na ngiti

Magandang kinabukasan ang tanging hangad at pangarap
Kaya sa ibang bansa ay tumulak
Upang pamilya ay maiahon sa hirap
