Standing behind us from left to right: my cousin Jam Alas of Magic 89.9; her mom Tita Joji Alas (sponsor); Mayor Lourdes Catáquiz of San Pedro, La Laguna (sponsor); my maternal grandmother Norma Soriano; Yeyette’s dad Jaime Perey; my dad Josefino Alas; former San Pedro mayor Calixto Catáquiz, and; Señor Guillermo Gómez of the Academia Filipina de la Lengua Española. Seated: Krystal, Jefe, me, Yeyette, Juanito, and Momay. |
Pues José Mario Alas y familia
decidieron viajar a la manera
de turistas por toda Filipinas.
Irán de pueblo en pueblo para ver
quiénes son las familias prominentes;
notar sus apellidos y negocios;
conocer a sus padres y a sus nietos;
averiguar si hablaban español
y medir la cultura que les queda
y la visión histórica que tienen...
Y, de paso, saber de su cocina,
de sus cantos, sus bailes y otras artes,
si los tienen; y darles las nociones
de cultura é historia que precisen...
Pues lo que es de esperar es que lo gringo,
de la clase más torpe todavía
nos lo exhiban como su “cultura”.
¡Qué lástima que Pepe no les lleve
un pequeño librito de la historia
veraz de Filipinas en tagalo
para que las personas que conozca
durante su visita, un recuerdo
grato tengan de él y de su familia!
Entonces los siguientes intercambios
por e-mail tendrán su razón de ser.
La Familia Viajera tiene todas
las de ganar con creces permanentes.
¡Adelante con Alas Filipinas!
