Song for Ka Bel

A bit late, but still worth my time and space.

Crispin Beltran has always been one of the people I look up to. Proof enough is that on my father’s birthday almost 2 years ago, I was here:

Vigil to Free Ka Bel

I am saddened that his death came too soon, and this song his for him.

Awit sa Bayani

Nilisan mo man itong daigdig
Tinig mo’y patuloy na maririnig
Lulan ng mga himig mong alay
Na lipos ng pag-ibig

Pag-ibig sa bayang sayo’y nagluwal
At sa manggagawang labis mong minahal
Tulad mo ay di malilimot
Habang kami ay narito

Marami pang dapat imulat kasama
Lipuna’y puno ng problema
Sa paghinto ng tibok ng puso mo
Kami ang magpapatuloy

Marami pang dapat imulat kasama
Lipuna’y puno ng problema
Sa paghinto ng tibok ng puso mo
Kami ang magpapatuloy

Nilisan mo man itong daigdig
Tinig mo’y patuloy na maririnig
Lulan ng mga himig mong alay
Na lipos ng pag-ibig

Marami pang dapat imulat kasama
Lipuna’y puno ng problema
Sa paghinto ng tibok ng puso mo
Kami ang magpapatuloy

Marami pang dapat imulat kasama
Lipuna’y puno ng problema
Sa paghinto ng tibok ng puso mo
Kami ang magpapatuloy

Pag-ibig sa bayang sayo’y nagluwal
At sa manggagawang labis mong minahal
Tulad mo ay di malilimot
Habang kami ay narito

Tulad mo ay di malilimot
Habang kami ay narito

Tulad mo ay di malilimot
Habang kami ay narito

    It really did pain me to hear about Ka Bel’s untimely demise. He dedicated his life to a good cause, and he will surely be remembered by the Filipino for what he has done.

    Hindi kailanman malilimutan ang mga kontribusyon ni Ka Bel sa pakikibaka para sa mga karapatan, kalayaan at kaginhawaan ng mga manggagawang Pilipino.

    Pakikiramay sa kanyang pamilya, kaibigan, tagasuporta at kasama, at pagpupugay sa kanyang buhay ang aking simpleng maibibigay.

    My Dad told me about the news a while ago.

    “Patay na si Ka Bel ah.”
    “Sino yun?!’

    It’s a shame really. He goes like “HINDI MO SIYA KILALA?!” Aww. :(

    I’ve read about Ka Bel and heard about him in some news. I wouldn’t know this if I didn’t read your blog. RIP.
