SEMANA SANTA HOLY WEEK - HAMTIC, ANTIQUE, PHILIPPINES 2013

Ibalon (Filipino Epics) Philippines

Ibalon

    

     Long ago on a far away land of Ibalong there was a hero named Baltog, a young man who was strong, kind and very handsome. He was the only son of Handiong, the chieftain of their then prosperous village.    

     One day, his father talks to him about their miserable plight in that land of Samar. They had many enemies who would come every now and then and destroy their crops and kill their animals and disturb their peaceful everyday life. Their people were dying of hunger because of lack of food. What was left to them was not enough to see them through another harvest season.

     “Our dear people are tired fighting son,” his father said. “They want a lasting peaceful life with no hunger lingering around. Our animals are getting smaller and smaller in number everyday. If this situation continues unabated, we and our people will all die of hunger.”

     “What do you want me to do, father?” Batlog asked. His fathers face him and looked at him straight in the eyes. Then he held his shoulders.

     “Find a suitable place where our people and their family can live peacefully and contentedly.”

     Batlog’s eyes wandered around. He saw their people’s miserable life and destroyed houses. He saw hunger and starvation in every child’s faces. He saw resignation in every mother and father’s faces. He too felt very sad.

     “I am too old for the job I’m putting on your shoulder. You are young, strong and brave and can handle the responsibility. I know you can do it. For me and for our people.”

     Batlog embraced his father tightly for a long while. Then he knelt before him.

     “Bless me, father before I go. With God’s help. I will do my best to find a good place for us and our people.”

     Handiong gave his blessing to Batlog. Batlog at once sailed out that night in a small boat that would take him to a fertile and beautiful place called Kabikulan. He had heard so much about the twitter.com/FAbatay16 place and he thought it would be good if he could find a place there where he and his people could live for the rest of their lives.

     Out in a great sea, Batlog encountered a strong wind and huge waves that destroyed his small boat. He had to swim and he almost drowned before he safely reached the shore of the coastal town of Kabikulan.

     He begun wandering in Kabikulan, reaching as far as the land of Aslon and Ibalon which had jurisdiction over the plain surrounded by the great mountains of Adog, Masaraga, Isaraog and Lignion. He found Ibalon a perfect place for him and his people. The soil was fertile and was suitable for rootcrops, rice and vegetables. It was also very ideal for their animals. It was like a land of milk and honey. Batlog was too happy for the place he had found.

     “I want to have this place for me and my people,” he said to himself.

     Batlog said it too soon. Because there lived in the great mountains surrounding Ibalon several crocodiles that had wings and could fly, wild boar that as big as an elephant and a snake with a head of a woman. But Batlog was decided to have Ibalon for their settlement area and so he fiercely fought the crocodiles and the boars with all his might. With his strength and skill in hand-to-hand combat, he was able to subdue all the crocodiles and boar, killing them and cutting them to pieces. However, the snake with a woman’s head was able to escape and left the mountain for another home.

     Then he went home and told his father about the land he had found for them. Wasting no time, Batlog and his father and all their people left Samar for Ibalon, his new home. Once settled, Handiong and Batlog taught their people several home, industries to make a living. In no time, their lives change for better. They tilled the soil and it gave them bountiful harvest. In that land, hunger and starvation became for them, a thing of the past.

Himig ng Pag - ibig - Pio ft. Lolita Carbon Lyrics

Eto ang awit ng pag-ibig

Ikaw ay makiniig sa tinig

Pagmamahalang abot langit

Kasing saya ng ibong himihimig

Nagmamahalang tunay

May buhay na makulay
felaabatay.blogspot.com

Pangako sa Isa’t isa’y kahit na kailan pa ma’y

Hindi na maghihiwalay

Refrain 1:

Sa pagsapit ng dilim, ako’y maghihintay parin

Sa iyong maagang pagdating

Pagkat ako’y nababalisa, kung ‘di ka kapiling

Bawat sandali mahalaga sa akin

Mahal kong sinta, kumusta kana?

Ako’y may kaba buhat ng umalis ka

Nung isang buwan ay sinulatan kita

Ngunit hanggang ngayon ang sagot mo’y

Wala pa, nag-aantay ang ating mga anak

Kaming lahat ay sabik sayong yakap

Mula ng madistino ka sa probinsya

‘di ako mapakali ‘pag wala ka

Naaalala mo pa ba ang

Masaya natin na nakaraan?

‘di ba’t pangako mo sa akin pagtapos ng laban

Kami ay agad mong babalikan

Lagi mo nalang pinagtatanggol ang bayan

Matapang na humaharap sa digmaan

Pagmamahalan ‘wag sanang matabunan

Ng mga luha at kalungkutan

Sana’y makabalik ka ng ligtas

Yan ang laging dalangin sa taas

Alam kong may tungkulin ka sa batas

At hindi ka pwedeng basta kumalas

Gayon pa man aantayin ko parin

Ang iynong maagang pagdating

Hanggang sa umangat man ang araw

At maging sa pagkagat ng dilim

Mga bakal may mainit na bala

Pagsabog ng mga granada at bomba

Yan lag madalas mong makasama

Laging dalagangit san man magpunta

Ang sula ko sana’y iyong sagutin

Upang mabawasan ang kaba sa damdamin

Pagmamahal ko ay iyong baunin

At dinggin ang aking hiling

REFRAIN 2:

Tulad ng ibong malaya ang pag – ibig natin

Tulad ng langit na kay sarap marating

Ang bawat tibok ng puso, kay sarap damhin

Tulad ng himig na kay sarap awitin.

Ako ay nagulat at ang paningin ay tulala

Nang bigla kang dumating 

Tuluyang tumulo ang aking luha

Ika’y hinatid nila sa akin

Kasama ng sulat mong aking ipinasa

Nung ika’y nasa aking harapan

Parang leeg ko’y nakakadena

Sa iyong sulat sinabe mo na

Mahal na mahal kita aking asawa

Pati na ang dalawang mga bata

Sila ay busugin mo sa alaga

Kung sakali man ako’y ‘di palarin

At maging buhay ko ay bawiin

Laban sa rebeldeng kapwa pinoy

Digmaan dito ay umaapoy

Lagi mo lamang na tatandaan

Pag – ibig ko sa’yo ay walang hanggan

Dadalhin hanggang sa kalangitan

‘wag malungkot at ikaw ay maging matapang

At dapat handa ka sa hamon ng buhay

Nandito lang ako at nakapatnubay

Lamang at ang tangi kong mga hiling

Pangako ko lagi kang mamahalin

‘yan ang iyong liham na aking nabasa

Sundalo ng buhay ko mahal kita

Pag – ibig ko sayo’y walang kapalit

Nagn nagbalik ka ay napakasakit

Ika’y umalis sa aming nakatayo pa

Bumalik ka bakit nakahiga na

Nakabalot sa kumot na puti

Damang- dama ko ang sakit at hapdi

REFRAIN 3:

At ngayong ikaw ay nagbalik sa aking piling

Luhang pag – ibig kay sarap haplusin

Tulad ng tubig sa batis, hinahagkan ng hangin

Pag – ibig ang ilaw ilaw sa buhay natin

Tinatanong ko ang aking sarili

Bakit sa akin pa ito nangyari?

Lumuluha ang aking damdamin

Nang ako ay iyong lisanin

Ngunit pagkakataon para

Ikaw ay aking mahawakan

At habang hawak ko ang iyong kamay

Awitin ang himig nang magkasabay

REFRAIN 4:

Tulad ng ibong malaya ang pag – ibig natin

Katulad din ng langit na kay sarap marating

Ang bawat tibok ng puso, kay sarap damhin

Tulad ng himig ng pag – ibig natin…
