Nasa ibaba ang isang pangit na tula ngunit napili pa rin sa librong Truth and Consquence, Poems for the Removal of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Matapos ipasa ito kay Danton Remoto thru email (na lampas sa deadline na) ay naisipan ko itong i-revise. Maganda sana ang tula kaya lang mas may ikakaganda pa ito. Sa kasawiang palad ay hindi din natapos ang revised version nito dahil sa katamaran.
Ang mga makata na nacontribute ay ang mga ss:
Rio Alma, Bienvenido Lumbera, Luisa A. Gloria, Rene O. Villanueva, Frank Rivera, Mila D. Aguilar, Rolando Tolentino, Mark A. V. Funcion, Romulo P. Baquiran, Jr., Marne Kilates, Jimmuel C. Naval, Jaime Dasca Doble, Danton Remoto, Leonora Estaris, Joel H. Vega, Michael Francis C. Andrada, Kristoffer Berse, Joel Costa Malabanan, Joi Barrios, Mary Thomas, Michael M. Coroza, John Iremil E. Teodoro, Duke Bagulaya, Sofiya Colette Cabalquinto, Hermie Beltran, Luis Cabalquinto, Telesforo Armada.
SONA 2005
Ngayong Hulyo,
sa kaharian ng engkantadya
Sa harap ng mga halimaw, salamangkero at diwata,
Papalakpakan si Gloria.
Ipagyayabang ang kapangyarihan niya.
Lulutasin, wawakasan, gagapiin ang
Kahirapan, Kagutuman, Kawalang pag-asa
Ang Problemang Valentina ng masa.
Ang solusyon: Isang malakas na sigaw ng Darna!
-Mark A.V. Funcion

Profile
Mark A.V. Funcion. Magsi-silver-anniversary ng pagkabuhay sa Agosto.
Nais magtayo ng sariling banda, maging full-time activist, mandirigma
ng pambansa-demokratikong kilusan, maging mabuting "ex-boyfriend" at
ama at marami pang iba. Matagal nang hindi nakakasulat ng tula. Pilit
pa rin niyang hinahanap ang Musa at pilit kumakawala sa alienation na
dulot ng higit sa 8 oras na pagtatrabaho 5 beses isang lingo.
Ang tula ay unang lumabas sa Oust Gloria Chapbook ng Kilometer64.
Salamat kay Kris Berse na pinaalam thru email na ang tula ay nakasama sa libro.

Saan ang KM64?
Three consecutive weeks nang hindi ako nakakapunta sa sa weekly meeting ng mahal kong grupong Kilometer64. Intrigang-intriga na ako sa Newsdesk na pinagdadausan ng poetry clinic namin. Mura daw ang beer sabi nila Alex at Kapi, P20! mura din daw ang pulutan. Bigatin pa naman ang mga bisita noong mga nakaraang clinic. Sina Gelacio Guillermo at Abet Umil lang naman ang nagcritic. Malas!
Hindi ko magawang dumalo sa clinic namin samantalang nakikpag one-on-one ako kay Bong sa Germaines. Sorry po talaga!
Gustong-gusto ko na talagang makapiling muli ang mga Ka-Kilometro. Pramis this next Friday punta na ako.

Let's Support Pinoy Coconut Geotextile
- a Finalist in BBC's World Challenge!
Fellow Pinoys,
Did you know that the Philippines' coconut geotextile (a.k.a.
coconet) for soil erosion control has been chosen as one of the 12
finalists in Newsweek and BBC's (British Broadcasting Corporation)
World's World Challenge?
The World Challenge is basically a competition/ search designed at
identifying groups or individuals all over the world whose projects
have contributed great impact at grass roots level.
A documentary about Philippine Coconut geotextile or coconet industry
will be shown on the BBC World cable channel on September 24 around
8:30 GMT and will also be featured in the August 29 special issue of
Newsweek.
"The World Challenge" already offers a tremendous exposure and
publicity to our flourishing Philippine coconut geotextile industry
and to our Philippine coconut fiber exporters. But it would be great
pride for our country, which has been getting very bad publicity
nowadays, to win this prestigious competition.
To vote, please open
http://www.theworldchallenge.co.uk/vote.php
and click the picture of Philippine coconet.
Please help us campaign for more voters by forwarding this message
to your co-worker, friends and relatives.
Thanks!
P.S. One of those involved in the development of coconut fibers is
Dr. Bo
Arboleda from Albay.

Texters Unite for Truth!
On Monday, 5 September 2005, the House Justice
Committee will give its
report to the plenary session
of congress regarding its move to quash
all three impeachment complaints.
While the impeachment complaint is dead at the
Justice Committee, it can
still be resurrected in the plenary
if the opposition can muster 1/3 of
the house members to vote against the
Justice Committee decision & in
favor of the amended impeachment complaint.
As of the latest count, they are
6 signatures shy of the 79 signatures
required.
We were able to obtain these contact information
(cellphone & email addresses) of the
undecided congressmen. We need your help in TEXTING &
EMAILING all these undecided congressmen
to vote for truth & justice. As
we have very little time, we urge you to take
action by texting and
emailing, and by passing this email along
to all your friends & family members.
LET'S DO THIS NOW.
Maraming salamat sa ating lahat. Ang pagkamit ng katotohanan at
katarungan ay nasa ating sama-samang pag-kilos.
Best to All,
TXTPower
