The Bago Aplaya
( Don PAgasura & Macario D. Tui )
The Bago Aplaya poem is entitled because there is a place here in Davao which is located in Toril named Bago Aplaya where there’s a lot of fisherman. The Bago Aplaya by Don Pagusara is a nice poem and it has a real life lesson. The poem itself stated and described the life of a fisherman. Even though fisherman is an ordinary job, they are still thankful. They embraced and contented in what they have. Being a fisherman is also one of the dangerous jobs. Specially when we have a bad weather the storms and big crashes of waves makes them struggle more, but they keep on going, cause they believe God is there whose leading them with a light in a pathway, who are also helping and watching them, doing their jobs just to catch fish so that they might help and support their families and do their full responsibilities to other people to earn small capitals. Even in the night they keep on going, fishing through the darkness, his poem has a happy tone. Weather they have a small job or ordinary job it is not the bases to judge people directly. They learned how to be contented in what they have and that thing makes them happy. “Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together”. While the Bago Aplaya by Macario D. Tui has mixed emotion tone, it was a tragic celebration he was enjoying accompanying those people who gather to celebrate, the new boat that has been recently baptized. He emphasized here that these ordinary people are lucky with their new boat and new equipment. While watching them having fun, he also felt the happiness that they felt. But while the waves are starting to rise, those flash backs memories came back. He realized a lot of sadness or those times that may not came back once it happen. The second part of his poem seems to be sad , he felt he was like a old poet which means once it is read and became famous it will not last long and became to decade or forgotten by. It’s not just because of the waves which he thought of it but the condition that he felt. That maybe as the time goes by he will get old, and have some serious illness and no one else will take care of him. He is afraid to be left by his love ones. Or maybe he also thought of that special someone whom he loved and also loved him back, but they have to be separated for some reason. Those crushes of the waves made us more emotional, the things that going to happen unexpectedly in the future. I’m finding it hard to believed but expect the unexpected.
