MAKALAMPAS LANG NANG KAUNTI SA PAANAN
Alexander Martin Remollino
May higit sa isang taon na ang lumalakad
mula nang ang mga paa ng mga
Dale Abenojar, Erwin Emata, Leo Oracion, at Romi Garduce
ay makahalik sa tuktok ng Everest.
Noo’y nagpista ang buong bayan,
at karapat-dapat lang na ipagbunyi hanggang langit
ang kanilang tagumpay.
Sila ang kauna-unahang mga anak ng Pilipinas
na nakarating sa tuktok
ng pinakamataas na bundok sa mundo.
Ngunit huwag sanang angkinin ang kanilang tagumpay
bilang “tagumpay ng ating lahi,
tagumpay ng ating lipi.”
Hindi nila panahon ang ating panahon:
sila’y angat sa ating panahon.
Sapagkat ang ating panahon
ay panahong nagkakasya ang karamihan
sa makalampas lang nang kaunti sa paanan
ng bundok na ni hindi kasintaas ng Everest,
at sapagkat malapit lamang sa paanan
ang hinahangad na marating,
itinuturing nang malaking tagumpay
ang makaapak sa paanan lamang –-
sa halip na tuklasin at sikaping igpawan
ang dahilan ng kahinaan ng tuhod.

A modest part in our conception has also been http://startso11.info/www.dziennik+polskikrakow.pl.html assigned to the inner organic sensations which are wont to be taken as the cardinal point in the explanation of the dream.. This puzzle had led http://startso11.info/rdxh++u%C5%BCllo%C4%85%C5%82%C5%9B.html him to not unfrequent ruminations in his mind as to whether or not his vocation might lie in something higher than the mere tilling of the ground..

For a few half-hearted paces, under the first impulse of horror, he followed his deserting chief, the laughter of the family, the unrestrainable guffaws of the http://startso11.info/www.ligasiedlce%2Fpl.html negroes, sounding in the rear.. Morland expressed her fears that the coachman had forgotten http://startso11.info/banie+mazurskie.html to come for them.. Presently we came upon a group of elderly persons, gathered about http://startso11.info/www.minrol.gov.pl.html a venerable gentleman with flowing locks, who was propounding questions to a row of Inmates..

Ah, how much better was this sort of talk than the chatter and gossip of the Tabb and the Hoogencamp--than the Major's dissertations upon his everlasting circulars! My wife and I exchanged http://startso11.info/e-omikron.html glances.. We can get to the shore all right if you steer the horse straight. http://startso11.info/www.wladcy+much.com.pl.html..
