Larawan
Lumang larawan sa sahig ay nahulog
Nang ang mga gamit ay aking inayos
Dali-dali ito na aking pinulot
Pinagpag ang kumapit na alikabok.
Larawan mo ito… muling pinagmasdan
Kinuhanan ka sa isang kabukiran
May mga puno sa banda mong kanan
Ginintuang palay ang nasa likuran
May mga bulaklak sa iyong paanan,
Isang rosas nga’y muntik mong matapakan.
Sa kaliwa mo aking nabanaagan,
Tutubi’t paro-paro’y nagliliparan.
Dapit-hapon noon nang ika’y kinunan
Sa langit ay may kaunting kaaulapan
Palubog na araw sana ay napagmasdan
Kung ang mukha mo ay hindi nakaharang.
Larawan mo ay hindi na iniligpit
Sa taguan kasi baka makagipit
Marahan ko itong pinagpunit-punit
Isinama sa mga itinapong gamit.

About M.A.D. LIGAYA
Teacher-Writer
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, seeing them completed gives me immense joy and 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 feel when 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."
Proud to be me!
Proud to be a FILIPINO!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
