Mananggiti

Mayda ako kilala, usa ka mananggiti

Don-Don iya ngaran, taga-San Miguel, Leyte

Iton iya mga anak, swerte gad hin duro

Kay tungod han tuba, hira nagka-grado. 

Aga-aga pala, nagtitikang na pananggot

Kay kun masirakan na, rasa’n hiwat maraksot

Iton iya trabaho, diri la harumamay

Pagsinakasaka hin lubi, diri makalilipay. 

Pag-abot hit kulop, masanggot na liwat

Kay kun diri ngani, mapapabiyas an hiwat

Pero kun hubog-hubog, aw, bahala nala

Hain mas importante, kinabuhi o tuba?

It pagigin mananggiti, diri gad masayon

Makuri ini nga trabaho, dapat respetuhon

Bahal nga tuba, an naghimo hira gadla

Nakakahubog ini, ha lagas man o ha bata.

Aside from making his classmates’ projects and by joining all the contests at school, he also joined several siday writing contests just to earn money. When his first siday entitled ‘Demand-Driven nga Statistika, Aton Kinahanglanon’ won the grand prize title during the 19th National Statistics Month ‘Siday’ Writing Contest in November 2008 held at the Philippine Information Agency, Regional Office 8, Tacloban City, he then fell in love with siday writing and decided to write more. Thus, this masterpiece.
