THE WAY THEY LIVE
BY: Danton Remoto

5. CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FRIENDS
BY: Danton Rivera
This poem is about a Filipino bar-
girl...sometimes underage, almost always
appearing childlike and innocent until
their early 20's. He's using the contrast
of the innocent girl/angel and the
reality that they are actually prostitutes
w
ho engage in all sorts of other activities.
With his last line he also says that he too
has fallen for the "forbidden fruit".

6. Caravan of the water bearers
The dominant image of the poem is
that Evasco visualises the lot of
women as being like the women who
accompany a caravan (a trading trek
of Arabic nomads - often across the
Sahara). Using a caravan as her main
image allows Evasco to implicitly
censure also Islam (again a faith
considered by most feminists to be
patriarchal; though Evasco's
Catholicism may also be involved in
the religious prejudice here).
The caravan has its 'business' to do
(men's work); but naturally the
women supply the nurturing functions
of caring for the children and bringing
the water (these are essential tasks,
and are foregrounded: the poem
never mentions any other function for
the caravan).

8. “ANG PINAKAHULING KWENTO NI HULI”
BY: LILIA QUINDOZA
Si Huli ay isang pipi at nammumuhay bilang isang
basurera sa bayan ng Dimatanto. Lumaki siya sa
piling ng kanyang kinilalang tiyahin na si Francisca
na isang modista. Sa katunayan, si Francisca ang
tunay na ina ni Huli. Inilihim hiya ito sa kagustuhan
ng kanyang ama na si Tandang Selo. Nabuntis ng
walang kinilalang ama ng kanyang sanggol si
Francisa.
Isang gabi, sa kalagitnaan ng mahimbing na tulog
ng mga tao ng Dimatanto, umalingasaw ang
malakas na hiyaw ni Huli. Nakita ito na punit-punit
ang damit at sa tabi niya ay si Teong na isang tanod
na duguan. Naparusahan si huli dahil sa diumano
ginawa niyang krimen.
Ngunit paano niya maipagtatanggol ang kanyang
sarili at ilahad ang katotohanan kung hindi siya
kayang intindihin ng lipunang kanyang
ginagalawan.

9. THE
EXECUTION
BY:
CHARLSON ONG
It was raining the morning
of the execution. I
remember how brackish
and crimson was the sky.
God had sliced open the
sun, spilling its innards,
carving out its heart. That
sun had never seemed the
same to me ever since. The
cold air scraped the insides
of my lungs and chilled my
nape. It was the first dawn I
had awakened to. The first
time to witness the pained
violent birthing of light.

KABILANG SA MGA NAWAWALA
BY: RICARDO LEE
Lahat ng bagay sa lahat ng panahon ay ang sarili nito at
hindi ang sarili nito. (Engels)
• Winawasak ng ating mga panahon ngayon ang
pagsasama ng mga mag-aama at mag-iina. (Dante)
• Sa mundo, lahat ng bagay ay magkakakabit. Walang
nag-iisa o hiwalay. Kaya mahalaga ang pakikisangkot.
• Pero sasabihin mo sa akin, ikaw na ibang klase ang
buhay at walang nalalaman sa mga pulitika at mga pang-
aapi at pagkawala, paano kung ang asawa mo’y tinadtad
na ng kaaway, pinugutan ng ulo’t itinapon sa mga sulok
ng maruming Maynila? • Di tayo titigil, Gene, hangga’t
di lahat ng nawawala ay naibabalik. (Jun-Jun)
