6. “The struggles of the Filipinos during
and after the war and their longing for
independence were expressed
artistically in poems. Not only did
these verses eloquently speak of their
suffering, but also these poems
unequivocally revealed some of the
most admirable traits of Filipinos.”

8. When I See a Barong-Barong
By: Maximo Ramos
When I see a barong-barong neighborhood in the heart of war-torn Manila;
When I behold beside the Pasig sudden lean-tos defended against sun and rain with salvaged sheets of tin;
When I take a truck ride through Suburbia and find nipa huts clustered within the shell-punched walls of
former mansions of stone –
I do not look away in shame or throw up my hands despairing for my people.
I fill my chest with the bracing breeze of this my country and say:
Though my race has been pushed around in his own land for nearly half a thousand years,
Though my people have been double-crossed again and again by foreigners,
Though my race has been pitted against themselves down the centuries;
I joy to discover that they are whole and remained unbroken in spirit;
Building them makeshift huts of nipa and salvaged tin and standing straight with heads against the stars.
