Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
From ’86
through 2004 did this enthused traveler visit
Clark
Airbase of Angeles City blues in Pampanga
Marveled
many times thus at its constructs
Trade shops
and resort spots to rest the day
First
coming to teach at the Clark campus
Of my
beloved University of the Philippines
To teach
sociology to American G.I.s and personnel
Driven by
school van we came home at night
Shopping
for ice cream & chocolate delights
Then
onwards in ‘89 through ’94 did I come back
Again and
again as resource lecturer of learning tours
Bringing
along students from Manila ’s
diverse schools
Interacting
with American troops on their last stay there
Till the
days when Americans were to be seen no more
Onwards
till 2001 bringing along a high school classmate
We stayed
by famed Mimosa to drink & chat
While
others played some baccarats in casino fumes
The coming
home proud with baggages of choco & liquor
Bought from
bazaars of free trade there
Move
forward again in 2004 where my palace team
Planned the
founding of a new agency by the river Pasig
Back to
Mimosa to stay and workshop the days
Then
leaving Clark full with chocos liquors &
buys
From the
same free trade bazaars
Then lastly
to celebrate the opening of Macapagal air
Graced by
brilliant lady president Gloria d’ economist
In late
2004 saw for the last time the long airstrip
Of the once
mighty American airbase to spare
Did meet
d’Gloria for the first time to boot
