OLONGAPO & SUBIC

OLONGAPO & SUBIC

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

As American troops finally left Subic naval base

Olongapo now left on its own to peddle its future

Did I visit the corridor of fame in early 90s cool

Like kibitzer cat sneaking in once dirty prostitution towns

Came one occasion when I was with university students

Toured Subic site astride a funny bus with open sides

Then watched baseball at night while eating packed dinner

Till past 9 pm we moved on to bars in Olongapo

From there to hop from one bar to another

Till we noticed that by 4 a.m. we’ve had toxicity enough

As many bars we’ve been to listening to live bands

Chatting peaceably too in band-less sites

Till finally we said goodbye to the fun city

Delivered farewell to the Ulo ng Apo

Saying thanks for the gracious short stay

[Philippines, 13 June 2011]

LAOAG PALACE?

LAOAG PALACE?

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Laoag was once an unholy place for this being

Who merely passed by the noble city on flights

To Basco of Batanes paradise from Tuguegarao lair

And back again to Tuguegarao for work reportage

Till finally came early May of 2006 the era came

With work team around toured entire Ilocos to monitor

And settled a bit by Fort Ilocandia in famed Laoag

Where casino game & wines blended pool swims

Monitored likewise city streets and establishments

Noted that the city is indeed a place to tour around

Settling here a bit to visit Pagudpud & sites up north

Then coming back to relax the night with swims & drinks

STA MONICA

STA MONICA

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Came 2001 did I come to see this cute tour city

By the southern San Bernardino county of California

Tagged by my father along to celebrate corporate victories

We had fun swimming partying and shopping around

Truly delightful a tourist city this one is

Where wealthy couples bought estates & homes to holiday

My father and I did spend time here too to casino

With slot machines my hands did win some chips

Enough to buy some crafts and quaff tequila in bars

Again did I return to see this wondrous tour city in 2002

Staying by Holiday Inn with biz trainees to boot

This time to hear grand lectures from gurus of success

Yet to bar & dine & drink just the same at end of learning

Nearby is a mountain range so bald and negatively vibrating

Lucky that Sta Monica brings life to the range’s dead aridity

DISNEYLAND & ENCHANTED KINGDOM

DISNEYLAND & ENCHANTED KINGDOM

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Theme parks aren’t a fave site of this enthused traveler

But did I visit a pair of them in the ‘90s through ‘01

So wide spaces with shops & fancy fun specialty sites

The Annaheim land of Disney is one taking hours to tour

Likewise is Enchanted Kingdom d’Laguna long to traverse

Tiring yet exhilarating in their specialty funs

With virtual chamber of theatres to simulate scenes

Theme parks will rise in many more places

Round the globe and in my own country Filipinas

Will be glad to visit them for as long as I am

In company of families with kids to satiate fondness

For fun and memorable histories to craft

Rendering life like a merry go round

[Philippines, 27 May 2011]
