Batu-bato sa Langit,
Tamaa'y 'wag Magagalit

It is a compilation of Filipino Poetry depicting real-life and sensational situations affecting Filipino lives. These were written for the sole purpose of waking up the ideals and shaking the nerves of Filipinos inside and outside the Philippines. Batu-bato sa Langit is a prominent Filipino proverb, which means that whoever is affected by the contents of these poetries may react against it. But the writers placed these facts with symbolism and passion to deliver the realities of today.

Lugaw Para sa Bata
Feeding Project

"Lugaw Para sa Bata" is a small project from Team Kabsat in Pangasinan who aimed to give Lugaw as breakfast to few children in the province of Pangasinan in the Philippines. United with the heart of service and Filipino thoughtfulness, Team Kabsat decided to serve Lugaw to children ages 4 to 12 on selected areas to atleast minimize hungerproblem especially to small children. As of the moment, Team Kabsat shall feed only 100 children every month as that number is, as of the moment, the possible count that they can serve. However, Team Kabsat is looking forward that the Lugaw Project shall not only serve 100 children every month but more children are expected to be reached with this small project. read more

Pa'no Maghugas ng Pwet?
By Kara Damasco (12 December 2009, Europe)

Sa isang lupaing aking narating
Ubod sa ganda, nakakahalina.
Ngunit isang bagay, aking napansin
Yokong tanungin, ito kaya ay "in"?

Simulan natin sa hapag-kainan,
Tinidor at kutsilyo, wow, sosyal naman.
Sa lugar na ito, di uso ang maid
Kubyertos na ginamit, automatic ang aid.

Kapag sila'y nabusog, derecho sa kubeta
Kubetang kay ganda, nakakaginhawa.
Pag-up sa ilyedoro, fresh'ner kay bango
Pwede mong sabihing, bango ng ebak mo.

Kahit isang milya, lubid nilang tae
La namang amnesia, hugas p'wet matapos umere.
Ako'y nagugulantang, parang na-culture shock
Tatlong punit ng tissue paper, sa p'wet isasalpak?

Di ko maintindihan, ang p'wet ba'y nalinisan?
Kapirasong papel lamang, parang di napahiran.
'Pag ang mamang ito'y kumain ng mangga't mane
Tiyak isang rolyong papel, di sapat sa sabog niyang tae.

Bago sila matulog, hugas-hugas ng katawan
Importante sa lahat, ipin nila'y malinisan.
Una kong naisip, minsa'y aking nabasa
Mas marumi daw, bibig kesa p'wet na basa.

Di kaya pwedeng pagpalitin, proseso sa paglilinis
Tissue paper na lang kaya, sa ipin ikiskis
Pwede bang tubig din panghugas sa p'wet natin
At 'wag kapirasong papel, ang amoy andun pa rin.
