TELEVISION COUNTENANCE

TELEVISION COUNTENANCE

 

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

 

 

God’s grace it is those benign invitations

To tv talk shows with the wonderful task

To share insights on issues of the day

And learn likewise from those who query

 

In ‘86 did Butch Abad’s knighted program did invite

With beloved diva Riza Hontiveros on interview

Then ’89 came Louis Beltran’s invite came

Followed by Noli De Castro’s MGB fame

So did Joe Taruc’s brief platform for OFs

 

Then more programs came to interview across time

As one established expert was I to grow

Winnie Monsod’s & Oscar Orbos’ Debate too

Kapuso ni Jessica for many occasions a’beau

Mike Lacanilao’s global program so to speak

And all the television news to talk and share

As civil society leader endorsing Gloria Arroyo

 

Till now the tv programs do invite

Kapuso ni Jessica to go with many interviews

Tv news of Channels 7 & 2 likewise 

Kablog time for the youth of the day

Kris Aquino’s night show to share brains too

Boy Abunda’s show the last to do the same

Asked was I of Iverson’s ignominous psyche

 

Thanks Almighty Creator for those occasions

Will I always be open for gracious invitations

RADIO GAGA

RADIO GAGA

 

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

 

 

God’s grace it is those exposures to radio talks

Commencing when I was young man of age 23

In beloved Tuguegarao did I share insights fame

On livelihood to folks across the valley enthused

 

Living by Manila from 83 and onwards

Did I awash in fame a bit for radio talks

As university mentor and civil society leader

Was I invited to talk in many stations famed

DZRH, DZMM, DZRV, Radio ng Bayan

Roland Simbulan’s hosted program

Mentong Laurel’s nationalist platform

And more to count

 

Likewise did I visit radio stations in Visayas halls

As teacher leader to share insights on issues’ calls

Radyo Bombo in Bacolod and Iloilo cities

And more to go by counting of my hands

 

Truly thankful to Almighty for such short fames

Did I love so much to enlighten folks & listeners

Till now I open myself to invitations on radio anew

To discourse on issues like they were beau d’ bamboo

CORDILLERA COUNTR

CORDILLERA COUNTRY

 

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

 

 

Igorotlandia d’ Cordillera is one whole story yet to tell

For this enthused soul who climbed up those fiery lands

Beginning in Summer 77 in Baguio the summer capital

Onwards to 81 in work visitations of Ifugao

Roll over to work monitors of Kalinga & Apayao

Likewise visiting Ilongots of Quirino their siblings

Till 2000 when I revisited Ifugao on my way to Sagada

There to communicate with the ancestors

And say my own appreciation for Bulol of the astrals

 

Cordillera is an awesome land like Marlboro country

Growing pines interspersed with undulating mounts

Blended with fjords and a nurturing hospitable people

Home likewise to gold and treasures beneath the mounts

 

Cordillera is amongst the guardian ranges of Filipinas

Standing tall across hundreds of kilometers to frown

Upon all predatory greedy people and bad folks

Its forests and rivers narrate history like mute beings

Of a mighty people scions of ancient Malayan Mu

 

Turbulence yet may come a couple of years from now

Yet Cordillera will stand still and tall

Beacon of ancient Mu and future Filipiniana
