HONG KONG KOWLOON
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
A civil
society was I then to advocate
Love and
concern for overseas Filipinos
As Treasurer
of Kanlungan Center
&
Kakammpi president for overseas’ dependents
Came
December 1990 we flew to Hong Kong
From across
the globe we leaders converged
Stayed in
Maryknoll sisters’ compound to camp
There to
workshop too and build camaraderie
We then
decided to architect Migrante International
Finally had
it graduate from a Committee for nigh years
Just in time
when we were lobbying for sanguine law
To care for
overseas Pinoys across the globe
We did pay
visits to bars & toured places
With
company of Pinay domestic helpers too
We toured
the nights for songs & cocktails a’satiate
In one bar
did I belt out songs to make for free beers
With gusto
I sang La Bamba of Mexican folk fame
Accompanying
myself with electric guitar to feel
As
electrified eyes of tourists watched with awe
To the
wonderful city built by British taipan
I bid not
farewell as it’s o’so near to fly
My
appreciation for glorious city planning will stay
This Asian
city is one we islanders can be proud of
