the Inner Beauty of Tingloy

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.

I know that some of you wonder who I am? Why I need do this thing, yah I came from the glorious Island of Tingloy, where I started to walk, to talk, to eat, to dream and of course developing my self as one of a good product of Tingloy. Before I’m hesitating to told to my friends that I came from Tingloy, but now I am proud , where I’m came from, I’m proud that the Tingloian’s were so good people, kind and intelligent even though some of them don’t have enough source of money for them live but they can survive with the help of natural resources, like fishing and some is in the field of agriculture.

I remember when I am just five years old, I dream to be an engineer for I to build a long bridges that connect the Island of Tingloy to Mabini. I know that it was so impossible but why not, if we got the budget for that, so, we don’t need to used Bangka to deliver our own products and we can improved the tourism at Tingloy therefore, more Tingloian’s will have a strong work, for them to help improving themselves and the local economy of Tingloy.

Among 15 barangays that Tingloy have, I am not so familiar with other barangyas, even though I am to adventurous, because in 15 barangays I got Maricaban-sepock, San Jose, Makawayan, Talahib, San Juan,San Pedro, Pob. 1, Pob. 2, Pob. 3. For the reason that when I got in grade 6 I need to transfer here at Batangas. But i am adventurous man who find my happiness with the things i want..i got in different part of Batangas with my friends and even all by my self...like in 3 beaches in Lemery Batangas, Taal Church, Caysasay Church, Bundok Maculot in Cuenca, Beaches in Mabini, and the most i like is the Sombrero Island of Tingloy that I dream before to got through ..

So “Proud to be Tingloians, and get straight for saying I’m the product of Tingloy”.
