Happy New Year!
sonito 217
kabuntatala ka ed kabuasan
liket tan liglioa tonia'y puson
nilaknaban na ermen tan boblay
bangno na nanengneng ka la pinabli
ya manoaoayoaya ed kugip ko
labay ko la'y ag ombangon agi
et no angablit la'y arin agew
tampol kan tangaye'd durungaoan
ono lasuran ed tanamanan
alamusal ko'y linggis tan imis mo
pangudtua'y samiong na bibil mo
tan pandema'y angob tan aplos mo
dia ed anduyan na panangaro
linak ka ed labi na bilay ko

215th sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan
sonito 215
(inaon ed Galikin ono Aligando)
malinaew la'y panao'd saman
dia'd silong na melag a kamalir
no iner oadman ira'y ayayep
ya akaimaton ed inkianak
na Kataoan ed labin mareen
sindag na labiteoen ed taoen
tinumbok na talo'ran arari
angga'd asabi ra'y kaoalaan
na niñon akarukol ed osang
oadman met ira si managpastol
mandedengel ed saray anghilis
a mangankansio'y panangigalang
dia'd arap na masurin Dyus Anak
rigalo'y arari so insaklang

I was in the office of AlaminosCity.com last Monday and finally meet Pub and Dred in person. Btw, thanks for the Binungey :-)
I'm here in San Carlos City to visit their library hoping to find some Pangasinan literary works of interest. I got a copy of Aligando from Dr. Linda Andaya but it is incomplete and written in modern orthography. Perhaps the library here in San Carlos has a copy of the original.

214th sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan
sonito 214
ontan la'y takot mi ed insabi
na biew-biew na makmaksil ya uran
mangalatenget so kaabungan
tan tinmeteoek so kakalasan
nidumaduma iman ya labi
ta bengat-bengat kamin asibuak
ya singa ayep ed katakelan
ya anggapo la so nasuruban
binmetag so kabuasan a napno
na hambayo'y nangis tan tagleey
dia ed dakulap na Sierra Madre
samput na bula'y Nobiembri'd saman
nen impalikna na Makauley
no panon ton baguten so bilay

Globalese
What if there really is going to be a proposal to the United Nations to rename English as Globalese and declare it as the language of the world?
Globalese - the internationalizationalism and/or globalizationalism of the English language?:p

On the other hand, here's the 213th sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan. Yet another love poem in the time of deluge.
sonito 213
(panangaro ed panaon na salinap)
ag mo la ibabalikas ed siak
ono yesaes ya inarom ak
ta anggano dia ed kareenan
narengel ko'y bosis mo pinabli
sa kioas tan aoaoey mo labat
amtak la so labay ton ibaga
laut la no nanengneng ko la'ra'y
lagyat tan pitamitam na matam
ag mo insiblet so ngara'y aro
ya agay la'y irap kon inanap
ed togatog na kaoayangan ko
initdan mo na kolor so bilay
ya inkorit ko ed saray egpang
tan tekap na dapul ya aoaran

sonito 212 added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan
sonito 212
"I am an ardent spokesman for saving our minority languages as part of our national heritage--memory is heritage too, and we don't value it as much as we ought to." -- Merlie Alunan
inkuan yon oala'y pililikna yo
ed saray salitan nababalang
tan inkapalsan napapaulyan
na totoon makankanepegan
balet oala met so eebatan
na kapara tayon umaanlong
ed saya'y lapag ya inkapalsa
tan kailalakan ed arapen
maung ni ya ondala so egpang
ya mangiparungtal ed karaklan
na kakanaa'y taoir a yaman
ya oala ed tambib la'y kabalang
sakbay ya onsabi so salinap
ya mangakmon ed boleg nen Adan

Publications
“The publication of Malagilion: Sonnets tan Villanelles by Santiago B. Villafania should be a source of rejoicing for readers of regional literatures. This second book by Pangasinan’s leading poet today is impressive in both form and substance. Villafania has created 300 sonnets and 50 villanelles in his own language that attempt to reflect the primacy of native culture and return the poet to the central stage of social life.”
