<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Makusog an mga pag ampo han aton mga tinikangan kon diin nag aghat hin damo nga seminarista. Kun dire ako nag sasayop, amo liwat ine an decada nga an Villa nag selebrar han Centennial (100 years Fiesta Celebration).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

May usa ako nga napurot nga estorya hi unong han ka Milagrosa ni Sta. Rosa de Lima. Pulong, – an hadto nga mga panahon, masukot mag raid an mga moros ha Villa. Gamit an siberan, nasulong hira ha Villa pag kuha han mga produkto ngan mga bata. Waray nahihimo an mga Villahanon kundi ig hatag nala an ira mga produkto kontra mapugutan han ulo.<\/div>\n

Nahadlok an mga moros ngan tikang hadto waray na hira sumolod ha Villa.

Kaupay han view kun masaka ka ngadto hine nga torre. Kita mo an Maqueda Bay, an bug-os nga municipalidad han Villa, an mga bukid ha este ngan weste.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Ha akon pagkahibaro, hi Fr. Luis Llarenas an hinay-hinay nga nagtikang han pag bag-o han porma han aton simbahan tikang han kinasing-kasing nga mga donasyon han mga Villahanon.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

A Bullet\u2019s Noble Fate<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Does a bullet want to know<\/div>\n
for whom it will serve<\/div>\n
its sole purpose for being?<\/div>\n
Does a hi-powered gun ever paint the face<\/div>\n
of the one whom its cold nozzle<\/div>\n
would defiantly ruin?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Does man ever hope to know<\/div>\n
the name of each bullet<\/div>\n
that would carve its heart<\/div>\n
and end its reason for being?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Does the aggressor<\/div>\n
finally connect the points<\/div>\n
when mind yields control<\/div>\n
over sense and reason?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Would Jose Ma. Sison, in the Netherlands, care<\/div>\n
that rebels in the outskirts<\/div>\n
of an island called Samar,<\/div>\n
unilaterally wage war<\/div>\n
against civilians<\/div>\n
caught in the crossroads\u2026<\/div>\n
of political strife?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Would Ma. Corazon C. Aquino deplore<\/div>\n
such failure of democracy –<\/div>\n
when the right of ordinary man to live<\/div>\n
is denied beyond repair,<\/div>\n
along a lonely and obscure road;<\/div>\n
no celebrations or monuments-<\/div>\n
their anguish forever etched,<\/div>\n
in the highest ethers?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Does Fidel V. Ramos understand<\/div>\n
that even a strong armed forces,<\/div>\n
and sharp military strategy,<\/div>\n
cannot defend the ordinary Filipino,<\/div>\n
from a heinous crime of wanton bloodbath<\/div>\n
waged upon the armless masses?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

These thoughts too sublime for me:<\/div>\n
for I am but a simple bullet,<\/div>\n
along with hundreds of other bullet-friends,<\/div>\n
fortuitously meeting our noblest clients;<\/div>\n
Do I know their names?<\/div>\n
Who? Nenita? Jose?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Jose, an ordinary municipal budget officer,<\/div>\n
helping found the municipal high school;<\/div>\n
passionately building in a local water utility service;<\/div>\n
competently teaching all math subjects in high school;<\/div>\n
early on, simply serving as councilor;<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Yet, consistently indifferent<\/div>\n
to flaunting name or service<\/div>\n
even in founding documents;<\/div>\n
He would simply say,<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Lord gives one a privilege to share.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Ma. Nenita, a Cum Laude;<\/div>\n
of St. Paul\u2019s College, Tacloban.<\/div>\n
Would Imelda Romualdez (later Marcos)<\/div>\n
ever remember Nenita?<\/div>\n
a college-mate, then working with Imelda<\/div>\n
on some college projects?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Three long decades as fifth grade teacher,<\/div>\n
of sublime Villareal Elementary School, in Samar;<\/div>\n
Indifferent to the limelight of career:<\/div>\n
School Principal or Supervisor?<\/div>\n
No. She would simply say,<\/div>\n
\u201cI would like to help the poorest<\/div>\n
and the slowest ones:<\/div>\n
they who are in the last section<\/div>\n
of the fifth grade classes;<\/div>\n
so that they will soon move on,<\/div>\n
to sixth grade and then graduate.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
I am a simple and ordinary bullet,<\/div>\n
yet my masters are invincible with me.<\/div>\n
Am I at war in land or sea?<\/div>\n
But I see no bullets from the enemy line before me!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

There is only one white vehicle<\/div>\n
Slowly inching its way<\/div>\n
along this valley of darkness,<\/div>\n
like a deer trapped for the skilled hunter\u2019s slay.<\/div>\n
Why are we here? What are we fighting for?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
I am a silver bullet,<\/div>\n
and on this day May 13, 1993,<\/div>\n
I reach out to behold Nenita\u2019s heart;<\/div>\n
my bullet-friends find Jose\u2019s head and neck,<\/div>\n
and more of them bedeck<\/div>\n
Nenita\u2019s body so frail and weak;<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
There is an instant party!<\/div>\n
Music at its melodious peak;<\/div>\n
I am drenched in red wine\u2026<\/div>\n
Red wine carelessly pouring out<\/div>\n
from broken glasses\u2026<\/div>\n
into many icy cups of tears\u2026<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

No, I can\u2019t stop them! Not a bit!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

I see Jose sheltering Nenita painstakingly,<\/div>\n
but there are hundreds more of us –<\/div>\n
bullets flying from all comers<\/div>\n
of the lone white carriage!<\/div>\n
I hear Nenita and Jose<\/div>\n
As they step into the doorstill beyond,<\/div>\n
softly uttering no better words,<\/div>\n
but simply-<\/div>\n
\u201cLord… Lord… Lord…\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Does the Intemational Red Cross<\/div>\n
come to bring in more bottles of red wine?<\/div>\n
Does Jose Ma. Sison wish to know<\/div>\n
the name of each bullet and burning nozzle?<\/div>\n
on such daunting day?<\/div>\n
Does Corazon C. Aquino behold<\/div>\n
the white dove in the white carriage,<\/div>\n
its wings now drenched in red wine?<\/div>\n
Does Fidel V. Ramos light a cigar<\/div>\n
for a war waged, but with no enemy line?<\/div>\n
Does Imelda Romualdez-Marcos remember\u2026?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

The local radio stations<\/div>\n
Suddenly becoming busy,<\/div>\n
airing the newsflash for the week;<\/div>\n
Townfolks fearfully hushed,<\/div>\n
Cloistered around the barber shop,<\/div>\n
lounging in front of the sari-sari stores;<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

And those in Villareal<\/div>\n
with faces like walking graves,<\/div>\n
closing the windows of their homes\u2026<\/div>\n
then in silence each one weeps…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cThe leader is executed!\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIt is a mistaken ambush!\u201d<\/div>\n
Oh, that has become my master\u2019s fate!<\/div>\n
While Nenita & Jose, and more-<\/div>\n
they have become<\/div>\n
the unsuspecting objects<\/div>\n
of a fatal mistake?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

I am an ordinary silver bullet,<\/div>\n
But isn\u2019t it my noble fate<\/div>\n
to be with Nenita & Jose<\/div>\n
along a lonely obscure road,<\/div>\n
in a dark valley of Villareal,<\/div>\n
on May 13, 1993-<\/div>\n
Oh, such a fateful date?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

For Mother and Father, who lived such selfless lives.<\/em><\/div>\n
