Prayer to Apo Kabunian
By Lawrence Buyuccan
“Kopag gopan dakayo am-in ay inmali an naki-attend hituwe an ICBE.
Ta bendisionan di ta un nam-in e Maknungan.
Ta iligtas di taun nam-in hi kapahamakan, ta enggana magawid tau.
Ta ma-enjoy taun nam-in hitu-in okasyon.
Ta kumadang-yan tau, ta umado di apit tau hi pagey, ya dumakkul di nuwang, dumakkul di baboy, dumakkul di manok ya Euro tau.
Ta kumadang-yan tau nam-in.
Haggiyo!!!”
