I wish I can write such lyrical and romantic verses. I guess this is why the traditional, conservative and Catholic morals of Baao kept it from schools. Is there now a collection in book form? I'd like to know, please.<BR/><BR/>May I comment on a comment posted on Aug.30,2006 under "An Autobiographical Sketch":<BR/>"Sayang.....lang dunong. Naudaan payo....he went cuckoo"!!!<BR/><BR/>Remarks such as these show the misconception, myth and stigma of mental health and illness. Please stop labeling a person with words like cuckoo, sira ang ulo or naudaan nin isip, etc. If you do, I'll label you "ignorante" because you don't know that mental illness is an ILLNESS like cancer or diabetes. Something real caused the mind - which is in the brain, which is in the body - to malfunction. If you are reading this, please do your friend or relative a favor by educating them. And if you meet someone who is "ignorante", please educate them too. If you know someone you think is mentally disabled, please be kind.
