Drive-in Parokya

by FRANCIS MIGUELL S. STA ROSA NOONG ISANG araw habang naglalakad, naalala kong matagal na rin pala akong hindi nagsisimba. Kung kaya, napag-isip-isip kong magsimula muling gawin ito linggo-linggo.

Last Shift

by TRIXCY ANNE B. LOSERIAGA THE GENTLE breeze welcomed my presence the moment I stepped foot inside her domain. Gaia’s children danced while I immersed myself in listening to nature's overture. A tune repeatedly sung by my mother during the early years of my existence. It was dawn. My father…
