Tingloy, Tingloy, UMASENSO KA!!!

Sa mga taong nagtitiwala, sa lakas at kakayanan ng bawat isa sa atin, lubos na pasasalamat ng bawat isa sa amin na naghahangad ng isang pag-unlad ng bayan ng Tingloy, sakop ang mga baryo nito. Isang pagtitiwala ang binibigay sa atin ng bawat mamayan nito, tungo sa pag-unlad ng buhay sa isla ng Tingloy. Totoong karamihan sa ating ang nangingibang bansa at nagtitiis na iwan ang bayang kinalakihan upang umasensyo. Marami na rin sa atin ang lumipat ng tirahan at nangibang bayan upang makita ang pagbabago ng buhay nila. Subalit iba pa rin ang tawag ng kinalakihang bayan na patuloy mong babalikan. Isang Bayang parte na ng bawat isa sa atin. kung saan nabuo ang isang kamusmusan at ang kaalamang ibinahagi sa ating ng mga guro ng ating sariling bayan. Tunay na natin maikakaila ang unti-unti pagliit ng populasyon ng Tingloy na isang sukatan ng Pag-Unlad ng ating bayan. Lubos akong nasasaktan dahil sa pagliit ng populasyon ay patuloy n lumiliit ang kita ng bayan, subalit ang isang maliit na kita ng ating bayan ay mapapalaki kung gagamitin sa tama ang buwis na ating binbayaran. Unahin na nating ang maganda pedestal para maging daan sa pag-unlad ng isang bayan. Kailangan lang natin ng isang matibay na daan na magdurugtong sa maliliit na baryo na bumubuo sa bayan ng Tingloy, ito ay upang madalian tayong makapagbigay ng serbisyong kinakailangan ng isang mamayan. Ang isang MALAWAK at MATIBAY na SEMANTADONG DAAN, ay ang makapagdaragdag ng pagkakakitaan ng bayan, sapagkat kung maayos ang daan ay magkakaroon ng magandang transportasyong panlupa at ito ay magpapadali sa maraming mamayan ng Tingloy.

Tingloy, Tingloy, UMASENSO KA!!!

Tingloy, aking bayan.. by datuboi:that is me!!!

i hope you would be like it...sorry mejo starter pa eh..hehehe

Tingloy aking bayan!

Sa bawat pagdadaan ng gintong araw,

At sa bawat pagtingala ko sa langit na bughaw,

May isang tinig na tila pumapalahaw,

Sa puso kong bumalik sa bayang ayaw.

Pinipilit naisin na lupa’y limutin,

Subalit ang puso’y di kayang pigilin,

Na bumalik sa bayang pinagmulan,

Na kung saan unti unting bumuo ng kamusmusan.

Bayang kay ganda ng tanawin,

Mula sa patag at mga bulubundukin,

Ang dagat na dapat pagyamanin,

At ang alon na dumadampi sa puting buhangin.

Ang pilak ng puso ng aking kababayan,

Ang mapagpakumbabang mamamayan,

At ang natatangi nilang kadakilaan,

Ay ilan lang sa tunay na kayamanan,

Ilan lang yan dapat kong ipagmalaki,

Sa mga taong gustong mang api,

Sapagkat mula sa Islang ito ang tagapagsilbi,

Ng kalikasan para sa nakakarami.

Dito nabuo ang aking kabataan,

Ang tawanan at mga biruan,

Ang iyakan at ang mga pikunan,

Na kailan man ay di malilimutan,

Tuntunin ko man ang buong mundo,

Isa lang ang bayang babalikan ko,

Ito ang bayang salat sa tunay na ginto,

Subalit busog naman sa mayamang puso.
