[Iti maikatlo a kasangay Enero 1, 2015]

Simmangpetka a sagut ti umuna nga aldaw
Ti panagdaliasat, kaduaka a mangsurot ti dana
Ti pannakigasanggasat da kabsatmo 
a Cameron Jay Boy, ni Maria Caridad nga inam
Ken ni Abraham nga amam

Sinungbatam ti gumaygayebgeb a pammasungad
Ken panaguray iti dumaldalinesnes a segga
Iti isasangpetmo iti nakurapay ngem natalimeng
A taeng a binuniagak idin iti paraiso
A sinangpetan ti inam.
Ditoy met la a taeng, iti isu met la a laem
Ti nakanggak iti ibit ti maladaga 
a namalugatan ti inam
Ipalubosmo ngarud nga ubbaennaka ni Mama Oyya
Iti takiagna riknaem ti dungngo a kas dungngona iti inam
Sagutnaka ni Apo Dios iti isasangbaymo
Kantaankanto iti duayya ni ayat
Ragsak, kappia, talna,
Bay-am a mapusek ti taeng iti ibit
Ti katawa, ti garakgak a ray-aw ti taeng
Lemmesendanto ti liday
Ti kaaddam, isu ti ragsakmi
Iti naunday a panagpasungad
Ket datayo amin ti magna
Iti nawatiwat a panagdaliasat
Iti birbirokentayo a kaibatogan.

Iti maikatlo a kasangaymo, irubuatna met ti addang
tapno magnaka iti dana a bukodmo a tubayen
iti kinaganusmo, addanto met dagiti adal
ken ti bukodmo a pakabuklan ken pakasaritaan.

Marcos town celebrates 3rd Pinakbet Festival

By
MARCOS, Ilocos Norte—Taking pride of this town ’s favorite Ilo cano dish, locally known as pinakbet, a mix of indigenous vegetables steamed in fish sauce, residents here ushered the opening of the third Pinakbet festival. “Pinakbet” came from the contracted Ilokano word ‘pinakebbet ’ which means “ shrunk ” or “shriveled.” As a way of thanksgiving, the Pinakbet festival is a repository of the town ’ s “ani” [harvest] festival being celebrated every month of March but this was later moved to December to accommodate more balikbayans wanting to join the festivity. Residents in this agricultural town derived most of their income from the harvest of high value crops, including rice, tobacco and corn as staple crops. This year, the week-long festivity highlighted a grand parade around the town plaza and a pinakbet cook fest at the municipal gymnasium to showcase the best pinakbet in town. A boodle fight followed suit. Earlier, a fun run was participated by various groups ...
