ANG BUHAY KO NOON SA TABLAS STATION (ROMBLON) BILANG TICKETING/CARGO/CHECK-IN CLERK NG PHILIPPINE AIRLINES
MASUWERTE AKO NOON, KUNG HINDI BAKA PATAY NA AKO NGAYON

BULUAN…MAKASAYSAYANG KABISERA NG MAGUINDANAO
Ni Apolinario Villalobos
Nasa gitna ng kalakalan noon pang unang panahon
Na makikitid na kalsada ang nag-uugnay sa mga nayon
Mga nakatira sa baybaying dagat ng Timog Cotabato
Lumalakbay sa mga palanas makarating lang sa bayang ito.
Sambolawan na dating pangalan ng President Quirino
Naging bahagi ng makasaysayang bayan bilang baryo
Ganoon din ang Tacurong na dati ay halos lubog sa latian
Ngayon ay maunlad dahil nasa gitna ng masiglang kalakalan.
Mula sa isa pang bahagi’y nabuo ang bayan ng Columbio
Sinundan ng Lutayan na karamihang tumira’y mga Ilocano
Nabuo rin ang General Salipada K. Pendatun, hilagang bayan
At bandang huli, nabuo ang Pandag at Mangudadatu naman.
Ang umaagos na tubig mula sa lawa nito at ng Lutayan
Mga naglalakbay patungong Cotabato, ito ang “daluyan”
Nagmistulang “ugat” na dinadaluyan ng dugo ng buhay
Dahil sa mga isda, igi at kangkong na sagana nitong taglay.
Unang tinirhan ng mga taong sa Visayas at Luzon nanggaling
Naging kapamilya ng mga Maguindanao, Pinoy na magigiting
Hindi pinagkait ang kulturang ibinahagi sa mga bagong kaibigan
Kaya natuto silang kumain ng tapay, tinagtag, bolibed at panyalam.
Kabisera ngayon ng lalawigan ng Maguindanao, simbolo’y agila…
Ibong may angking tapang, liksi, matalas na kuko at mga mata
Umangkop sa namumunong masipag, trabaho’y sa tahimik na paraan
Matalas ang pakiramdam sa mga pangangailangan…at si ay si BAI MARIAM.
Makasaysayang Buluan ay nasa pangangalaga ng batang liderato
Maliksing kumilos, palangiting si BABYDATS MANGUDADATU
Sa murang gulang ay nakaunawa na ng kalagayan ng mga kababayan
Kaya natanim sa puso at isip na sila ay hinding-hindi niya pababayaan.
Maraming hadlang ang sa landas ng Buluan ay nagsisilbing balakid
Subalit mga Buluanon, sa pagsagupa ng mga ito’y malakas ang dibdib
Hawak-kamay silang lahat, nagpipilit na sumulong patungo sa kaunlaran
Hangad ay maaliwalas at masaganang kinabukasan ng BAGONG BULUAN!
Note:
igi-small freshwater snail that thrives in rivers and lakes
Mangudadatu – formerly Tombao

ARCHIE P. LACSON…sales and marketing man, dancer and excellent host with powerful golf swings
By Apolinario Villalobos
From 1974 to 1981 the country’s entertainment world was alive with the PENTHOUSE 7 that showcased Latin dances and modern ones during the time such as the Bump, the LA Walk, the New York Hustle, the Jacksons, Pop-Locking, the Robot, and Locking. ARCHIE P, LACSON was “in it” – hosting and shuffling on the dance floor with the intricate steps of Latin dances. Despite the hectic schedule for taping and his job at Philippine Airlines in the Marketing and Sales Department, he was able to squeeze in a time for his loved sport - golf.
Archie’s love of golf has helped him generate sales for Philippine Airlines, as he met with elite clients who were also golf enthusiasts, “swaying” their patronage from competitors to the country’s flag carrier. These clients were decision makers of big companies and many of them were the owners, themselves. To entice travelers both individual and group who belong to the upper bracket of the target market, into the fold of Philippine Airlines, the latter hosted the annual PAL Golf Tournament, and Archie Lacson’s popularity as a showbiz figure helped much in the generation of interest, as he was also the host of the culminating social activity.
As mountaineering is life for trekkers, the golf is for Archie who gets enthusiastic at the sight of undulating green golf courses with ponds and pockets of hedges or trees. He diligently wakes up early in the morning in time for his early morning swings at the most conveniently- located golf course from his home…the Alabang Country Club where he unselfishly served also as President.
He holds the record for 4 Aces and could have made the fifth in 2019, had the ball not stop a couple of inches from the hole. His ardent enthusiasm for the sport is shared by the former President of the Philippines, Fidel V. Ramos whose collection of autographed golf balls includes one from Archie. Among the rest of the collection are from former Philippine presidents Gloria Arroyo and Noynoy Aquino. Meanwhile, his legacy for the love of sport has been passed on to some of his grandchildren with Tonito as the youngest. A doting grandpa, he sees to it that the best bonding golf time is spent with them regularly without depriving the rest of his whole family with the same quality time.

GETTING OLD CANNOT BE STOPPED, IT IS AN ETERNAL PROCESS UNDERGONE BY ALL CREATIONS
By Apolinario Villalobos
ONLY FOOLS THINK THAY THEY ARE NOT GETTING OLD…. if what they mean is the way they PHYSICALLY look as even modern technology such as stem cell and plastic surgery do not last, not even drugs touted to prevent wrinkles…all of these have temporary effects on the physical make up of a person. On the other hand, human characters do not deteriorate as they can last till death…they may either be good or bad….they do not have images, but manifestation through action. GETTING OLD IS THE ACCUMULATION OF NUMBER OF YEARS AS ONE LIVES…ACCEPT THAT FACT AS THE NUMBER RECKONS HOW LONG ONE CAN STILL LIVE ON EARTH OR PREPARE ONE TILL THE FINAL MOMENT COMES…NEVER THINK THAT YOU WILL DIE “YOUNG” DESPITE YOUR MORE THAN 70 YEARS OF AGE, UNLESS YOUR MENTALITY HAS SLID BACK TO THE “CHILDISH STAGE”.
Admirably, there are people who try to cover up signs of their age such as application of synthetic color to the hair, applying heavy cosmetic on their face…remove them, and what can be perceived is the glaring truth and signs of accumulated years. This effort has created businesses and occupations which are again, part of life, a good sign of progress that defies stagnation which is good for a civilized world.
Planets get old and collapse….. all earthly creations get old, deteriorate, crumble or die…THIS IS AN ETERNAL PROCESS OF ELIMINATION, ESPECIALLY, FOR THOSE WITH LIFE, OTHERWISE, THE WORLD WILL BE HORRENDOUSLY OVERPOPULATED BY PLANTS, ANIMALS AND HUMANS IF THE “OLD” WILL NOT GIVE WAY TO THE “NEW”. UNFORTUNATELY, SOME PARTIES SEEM TO BE IN A HURRY TO SEE THE “NEW”…SO THEY DID SOMETHING “NEW”.
THE BEST WAY TO LIVE LIFE FULLY IS ACCEPT THE AGING PROCESS, MAKE UP FOR THE LOST TIME BY TRYING TO BE NICE TILL DEATH. IF YOU WILL NOT BE CREAMATED, TRUST THE MAKE UP ARTISTS OF FUNERAL PARLORS TO MAKE YOU FACE NICE TO LOOK AT BENEATH THE GLASS COVER OF THE “BOX” AS YOU LIE IN ALL SERENITY, OBLIVIOUS TO THE CRIES AND HUSHED CONVERSATIONS OF THOSE WHO CAME TO PAY YOU A LAST RESPECT.
