Literary Pieces Produced in Region 4
My Island (N.V.M. Gonzales) Even as the bough breaks from the sheer weight of song so does my heart break with love, so will my rivers flow to kiss the sea's warm eternal breast, so will my islands poise their hills against the sun. My heart is proud of this dream and prouder yet my rivers of the fate that keeps the pace of tides and moons, and prouder still my islands of their hills.
Our Mother Tongue (Jose Rizal) IF Truly a people dearly love The tongue to them by Heaven sent, They’ll Surely yearn for liberty Like a Bird above in the Firmament Because by its language one can judge, A town, Barrio, and Kingdom; And Like any other created thing Every human being love freedom. ONE who doesn’t love his native tongue; Is worse than putrid fish and fish a beast; And like a truly precious thing It therefore deserves to be cherished. THE Tagalog Language’s akin to Latin, To English, Spanish, Angelical tongue; For God who knows how to look after us This Language He bestowed us upon AS others, our language is the same With alphabet and letters of its own, It was lost because a storm did destroy On the lake the Bangka * in years

AlamatngMaria Makiling • In the province of Laguna is a steep mountain called Makiling. Some say it so called because it leans to one side. Others say this is because it is thickly wooded with a shrub called pakiling, which coarse-surfaced leaves are used by housewives for scrubbing pots and pans and floor. • However it may have gotten its name, it was haunted by a fairy named Maria whom town folks called MariangMakiling. It is said that in the old days she used to go to town with a basketful of fruits on her head which she sold in the marketplace. The money she got for the fruit she later distributed among the poor. At the first people thought she was only a woman from different town, though her beauty surpassed that any woman they had even seen for her faces was soft and fair and her black flowed down to her ankles. • One day, a young farmer who fallen in love with her beauty followed her secretly into the woods. However she went so quickly through the forest groove that he lost her. He waited for her on the next market day, but she did not come to town that day nor did she come on any day thereafter. • The young man then went into the woods to search for her but he never came back. Some say he found her. Some say he was lost and that he died in the woods without seeing her again. To this day the old folks believe MariangMakiling still haunts the mountain. The mountain is covered with many fruit-bearing trees. You may eat all the fruits you wish but do not try to bring any of it at home. If you do then you will lose your way. The insects will sting you. And very trunks of the trees will play tricks on your way. MariangMakiling will lead you completely astray. If prudent you will throw away all the fruits you had intended to take out. Also you will turn your clothes inside out to assure the good fairy that you are hiding none of her fruit on your person. Only then might MariangMakiling relent and lead you back on the right trail.
