SILENT MOUNTAIN OF BINARATAN (poem) Melvin D. Banggollay Tabuk, Kalinga, Philippines

In the hinterland of Maducayan,/ Where I was born as a binodngan,/ Hails a mountain called Binarattan,/ where silence slumber for everyone.,/

Legend tells us that Kabuniyan, / The Holy God of the Maducayan, / Who made all things for the clan,/ The forest and animals of the land.,/

On His journey to visit every land ,/ He passed upon mount binaratan ,/ Where wildlife abounds and sung ,/ so loud that can be heard in far land., /

When he could not hear the bark ,/ of the dogs he brought to embark ,/ to His journey to visit all his mark,/ of creation now famous landmark, / He raised his hands and ordered all ,/ the birds and crickets to hum no more,/ that he could hear his dogs explore ,/ the beauty of the mountain's grandeur.,/

When all that fly and crawl no more ,/ make any sound or even whisper; / Even the wind have its great slumber ,/ although the trees sways with its power;/ Silence of serenity is everywhere ,/ even flocks of birds and flies flying over,/ above towering trees full of wonder. ,/

Afar, he clearly heard the loud bark ,/ of his dogs with him to embark ,/ in this journey to visit all the mark ,/ of his creation now famous landmark. ,/

With one stride by his magical power ,/ He reached his dogs now running after ,/ wild pigs eating the farmer's rice fields,/ but he forgot to make a tall order ,/ for the birds, crickets to hum for more,/ Sing melody of nature's wonder ,/ that even now silence have its slumber,/ upon this mystic mountain's grandeur. ,/

KALINGA'S BEAUTY
KALINGA'S BEAUTY (poem) BY: MELVIN BANGGOLLAY Tabuk, Kalinga, Philippines

K-alinga, land of my forebears history / cradles a people known for their bravery/ whose diverse culture bewildered so many / To come and behold her distinct ingenuity /

A-bove its mystic hills and verdant valleys/ abound a beauty with natures tapestry / where one could enjoy the serenity / of a land engulfed with enchanting fantasy./

L-and known as the peacock of the country / With its rich culture defining history / that for centuries withstand modernity / to safeguard its dignity from any tyranny./

I-n this land sprung many native industry / showcasing the crafts and skills of ingenuity / of people nurtured with great diversity / of rich traditions unchanged by history. /

N-o other land in the region can you see / A woman's beauty atop a mountain's serenity/ known by many as a legend of mystery / That even now clings in the folks' memory./

G-od blessed this land with verdant plains ;/ and mountain where red rice thrive abundantly/ along with the aroma of brewed Kalinga's coffee/ with its truly enchanting nectar preserving beauty./

A land of my forebears and child fantasy / that I wish to have real peace and unity / among its children with tribal controversy/ and its leaders with their political rivalry./
