Murky Future for Mactan Channel

Featured in www.pinoyapache.blogspot.com on November 16, 2007.

LAST OCTOBER 15, 2007, I WENT to Mactan Island on some official business. I went to Pier 3 to board the River Ferry launch that was to take me to that island from mainland Cebu. It was 2:30 PM when the launch proceeded to cross the Mactan Channel. The rain had just stopped minutes ago where there was heavy downpour that lasted for about an hour before that.

As the launch was now cruising on the livid blue-green waters of Cebu Harbor, I noticed swarms of marine birds, unusual in number, dived and skimmed on the water’s surface. They happened to peck and pick on the flotsam and jetsam that the floodwaters of the Lahug Creek disgorged, whose river mouth is now but a square hole underneath the asphalt-and-concrete berthing area.

As far as the eye could see, discarded pieces of plastic in huge volumes and other kinds of household debris and industrial wastes were floating and bobbing on the surface, scattered over the whole width and length and depth of the channel...READ MORE (Press CTRL + click mouse)

I Felt The Rain...

Cool are the drops, that showered the skin.
The drops, a gift from heaven.
Cool are the drops that sheltered this hymn.
The hidden hymn of the broken.
Never to be heard, never to be seen.

Warm are the tears, that humbled the heart.
The tears, of being apart.
Warm are the tears coming from the heart.
That inspires the dying art.
Always fleeting, always afar.

Plenty are the memories, within the soul.
The soul, the longing soul.
Many are the dreams, residing the fool.
Who owns the gaping hole, within a lonely core.

Cold is the wind, together with the rain.
The wind that blew away the dreams.
Cold is the rain, together with the wind.
The rain, this rain, might resolve the pain.
The wind and rain, melting my chains.

I felt the rain when she left,
the drops, the wind and the gaping hole.
I felt the rain when she left,
for I am the soul of the longing fool.
I felt the pain, and I felt the rain.
