TANAGA AT DALIT


TANAGA 

"Ating Kabanata"

Ika'y isang biyaya
na galing kay bathala.
Ito na ang simula
ng ating kabanata.

"Pagmamahal"

Inabot na ng umaga
kakasulat nitong kanta
tungkol sa pagmamahalan
natin na walang hangganan.

A Review of Fray Botod by Graciano Lopez Jaena

But in the end, he ended up marrying Esperanza. One factor that might have influenced this decision is because everyone around them knows about the wedding.
