Examples
of Textula
Maayos pinalaki/
Nag-aral nang mabuti/
Trabaho ay maganda/
Namuhay nang payapa//
Ang buhay na ganito/
Ay lahat ay may gusto/
Pero dahil matakaw/
Maraming ninanakaw//
Nagdusa and marami/
Bayan naging madumi/
Pangarap ay nasira/
At dahil lang sa pera//
Musikang Pilipino/
Pinagmamalaki ko/
Laganap na talento/
Kanta’t sayaw ng husto//
Pagkain na kay sarap/
Parating hinahanap/
Sinigang aking langhap/
Adobong sinusulyap//
Pintor na dalubhasa/
Sa pinas makikita/
Amorsolo, Cabrera/
Luna, at marami pa//
Parol na umiilaa/
Na nagbibigay linaw/
Nakikita sa labas/
Nakasabit sa taas//
Kumain ang pamilya/
usapan na masaya/
Nakahanda ang hamon/
Pari na rin ang letchon//
Mga bata’y kumanta/
Tinugtog ang gitara/
Binuksan ang regalo/
Ang pasko ay panalo//
Thank you,
SAUR MUCH!
