    Hi alvin. In case you're interested, I am also inviting you to browse thru my collection of Filipino poetry at http://allanandres.blogspot.com/

    I do originals, as well as translation and adaptation into Filipino of different works by different poets like Pablo Neruda, Federico Garcia-Lorca, Bertolt Brecht, Edna St. Vincent Millay, among others. Do consider if you have time. Thanks ;-)
