Tagaktak ang pawis ni Marco, mahapdi na ang kanyang mga kamay ngunit kaylangan niyang tiisin. Tatlong minuto pa lamang halos siyang nagpapadausdos pababa sa pader na iyon gamit ang isang lubid ngunit parang napakatagal na niya doon. Ayaw kasi niyang bilisan at baka mahulog siya. Tumingin siya sa baba. Gabi noon pero maliwanag dahil sa buwan. Kaunting-kaunti na lang at makakatungtong na siya sa lupa. Pwede na siyang bumitaw mula sa pagkakahawak sa lubid. Dalawang dipa na lamang halos ang layo niya sa pinakakaasam na kalayaan.

About M.A.D. LIGAYA
Teacher-Writer-Lifelong Learner
M, A, and D are the initials of my two first names (Massuline and Antonio) and my mother's family name (Dupaya). Ligaya (a Filipino word which means happiness in English) is my family name. MAD is actually one of my nicknames aside from Tony and Ching.
My full name is Massuline Antonio Dupaya Ligaya.
Many times I was asked the question "Why do you write?"
I don't write for material rewards nor adulation. When I write poems, stories, and essays, when I do research, the process of creating them gives me immense joy and seeing them completed brings me great satisfaction. I don't write for cash incentives, "likes," and "praises." I would be thankful should I get those but the happiness and sense of fulfillment I get while doing them and completing my works are my real rewards.
Is teaching difficult? No!
When I teach, I don't work but I play. My educational philosophy - "The classroom is my playground, the students are my playmates, and the subject is our toy."
I am a lifelong learner.
My daily goal is to be better than I was yesterday. It's difficult, but it's worth the try. It's not for what I get from doing it but for what I become.
Proud to be me!
Proud to be a FILIPINO!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
