MALAY MO

dati ay isang saglit ng kahapon
dagling nilimot, sa ala-ala ibinaon

dati ay hangin na takot nang umihip
ngayon sa likuran ng mga ulap, araw na pilit sumisilip

kaya di makapangyari, tuldok man
wakasan ang walang hanggan

dahil nais ng magpakailanman
ay kailanman ding hahandugan...

kaya...

... malay mo...

After all, you should be the one doing your own research, cheat! :) Be warned that I just copied it from a paper on Cultural vs. Biblical Keyterms presented at the International Translation Conference 2006 held in Horsleys Green, High Wycombe, Bucks., England. Besides, wala na rin akong maisulat muna. . 4 Types of Sacrifice/ Offering in Kalanguya Culture The Kalanguya sacrifices are collectively known as keleng but to the wider Filipino society, these sacrifices are called Cañao [1] [kan’yaw], a collective name referring to the Kalanguya sacrifices.
