An samuyang isla, Ay isla nin Catandungan
Na naglatawlataw, Sa parte kaining silanga
Kun paghilinghilingon, Asin pag masidmasidan
An saiyang mugtak, ay mugtak bagang ngangalasan

Magayon na rosas, an kahalimbawa bilang
Sisay man nakahiling, kan saiyang kagayonan
Minsan harayo pa, Haros abton nin gawagaw
Gayon minatarohok tulos sa puso asin daghan

Arin bagang puso nenang, di mabihag di matunaw
Sa hamis nin boses, Awit nin gabos na mga gamgam
Na yaon sa kabukidan, Nag-aawit banggi aldaw
Sa samuyang islang, tampok nin sirangan

Minsan sia solo-solo, maogmahon sanang gayo
Mga nag-eerok, tawong mamomoton na totoo
Siring baga sa bitoon, Nagsirang maliwanagon
Paraiso niamo na Catandunganon!

Mabuhay, mabuhay!
Islang Catandungan!

VIRAC, Catanduanes -- At least four members of the New People's Army (NPA) were killed and an Army soldier was wounded in an encounter Thursday morning in Barangay (village) Purot, Pandan town in Catanduanes province.

Senior Superintendent Theodore Sindac, police regional intelligence officer in Bicol, said in an initial report that the clash between the NPA guerrillas and troops of the Army Scout Rangers’ Special Operations Team happened around 7 a.m. in Sitio (sub-village) Cagburuan.

Pandan is a fifth class municipality located in the northernmost part of Catanduanes.

Ung gayun Sir Dave kang satung "Island hym"..
I'll pick this as one of my own collections.

Tama sana na ihaput ta sa mga sadili
ta ngunyan, alinsunod sa kantang
an..

Asain na su matuninung buda magayon
na isla ta?

I know "the left" has their own ideologies
to fight for... everybody knows that..

Politics has its own way to play too.

Everyone understand that.

pero, tan-a, dai man hLhamang madamay
kita sa mga in-between encounters
and collateral damages.

Brown out na ngani', puhLhutukan pa.

It's just that... All we want is a tranquil
and simple living not in fear, don't we?

Baku' sana an na satung Constitutional right
but more of a peaceful humanitarian right.

For all of us to live in peace
in this Island.

(Virac - English Version)

Isle of the eastern seas
Where the morning sunbeams
creeping in the trees
Land of the sun-caressed
So free and so lovingly sweet
Home sweet home
Under the summer skies
Where the fragrant roses
Blooming on the vales

Refrain:

Dear Catanduanes
Bring me back to thee
Home of joy and people free.

Come now, O, Come
My love to Catanduanes, our home
Calling bitter life to pleasure and ease
With a love so true and tenderly sweet
(Yes my love)

Yonder our way
the thrill of the land of the sun-carressed
(repeat refrain)

Thanks Sir DAVE for posting this song!
Huhh! Nakapung-aw lalo, HOMESICK, HOMESICK, HOMESICK..........!
I dunno why I cried while I was singing this song......! Dala lang siguro sa sobrang pagmamahal sa ating PARAISO, as well as pity to those civilians who were victims of the past encounters between the 2 Groups.

"THERE'S REALLY NO PLACE LIKE HOME".

Totoo there' no place like home pero NGANTA ta gakabog-kabog ang dahgan ta sa takot pag kita asa sadiri tang probinsiya? Adyan ang takot lalo na kung namasyar kita sa sarong lugar na bakong matawo, lugar na maagi sa sarong lugar na medyo bulod? Makamundong pag-isip-isipon na ang satong paraiso inuyag na ning mga tawong bakong tubong Catanduanes, inuyag nin mga tawong nakisampot lamang. Nganta ta mas kinatatakutan ta ang mga tawong ini??? This is what I felt everytime I was there in Catanduanes. Takot! Ganito na naman ba ulit ang mararamdaman ko sa susunod na bakasyon ko?

I too was teary eyed when i was posting it. It makes me sick to think we are not only loosing our "huni nin mga gamgam" but precious life too, just because some intruders abuse our island, our peace and our paradise!

Let's be one in saying no to violence in our Catandungan!
