Every episode, there will be a theme that will navigate within the poem of the day. For this episode, we have Kevin Lagunda's "Tigmo Alang Kang Melquiadito M. Allego, M.D."
When Kevin Lagunda was in kindergarten in the mid-1990s, he saw a chart showing images of persons in different professions. After seeing the image of a fighter pilot, he told his teacher he would like to fly a fighter jet one day. His juvenile outburst eventually dissipated in the passage of time.
Since the start of lockdowns imposed by the government to stem the tide of the Covid-19 pandemic, Lagunda has been dreaming of undecipherable riddles in Cebuano language.
The short poem he reads here is titled, "Tigmo Alang Kang Melquiadito M. Allego, M.D." The poem, a riddle in a quatrain, is Lagunda's tribute to the indomitable poetic spirit of the man known to the young writers as Nyor Mel, the founder of Bathalad Cebu.
I hope you will like this poem. Amping kanunay ug padayon ta mga Bisaya!
