"pasabit" 2002
"Pasabit" 2002
these are the local people in our place who always go at wharf for fishing for their food of the day. without knowing these folks are always gathering not only for fishing but also meet and chat with each other and as it became routine they never notice the beauty of the dawn, greeting them what a great day... but unfortunately this pier is now being destroyed by the so called port authorities to make it their own business even they can build this port in other areas like halsey, jardin or baldat or even in old port near bulok-bulok island. then prohibit our local people to get their food on that traditional and historical rendezvous...
"rendezvous" 2002
"pakaskas" 2002
these are the local people at their rendezvous with the dawn and their favorite fish to catch for food during the day. they are in banca this time to roam the front of the wharf in order to reach farther and catch the fish by their local fishing lines called "pasabit" means hooks for catching fish. and this traditional fishing is being ruined and destroyed by the so called "development" of port authorities which only serve for themselves. they destroyed the aesthetic side of our place...

"batuhan" 1999
dito inukit ng panahon
ang nagulong culion
dahil sa tinatawag
nilang pagsulong
subalit ang pagbabagong ito
ay pagwasak sa walang maliw
na sali't saling sining
na nabuo sa pambihirang panahon.
sa pag-asang minsan pa nating mamulat
ang mga tao sa ating nayon
ay inilarawan ang makulay
na mundo ng culion
at tuwirin ang kamalian
na nagaganap ngayon.
sama-sama nating suriin at arugain
ang di-pangkaraniwang kagandahan nito...
