Estrella Alfon
Estrella D. Alfon was a Filipina author who wrote in English. She held an AA degree from the University of the Philippines and was a member of the UP Writers Club.
Alfon was the only female member of the Veronicans, a group of 13 avant-garde writers of the 1930s who rebelled against traditional forms and themes in Philippine literature. She was regarded as their muse.
She was a prolific storywriter, playwright, and journalist. In spite of being a Cebuana, she wrote almost exclusively in English. She published her first story, “Grey Confetti”, in the Graphic in 1935. Alfon was at times charged with sloppy writing and suspected of writing exclusively for profit, rather than passion.

Poems
The stunner of Philippines Culture
The Philippines has a unique history
With physical charm and beauty:
Enchanting variety of destiny
Lead along great prosperity.
An island emerged at far east
First receiver of sun rays;
Featuring wide range of excitement
Those people wants to desire to visit
Known far and wide
As an island paradise
Margin bieseand white beaches
Exquisite coral along crystal seas
Millions of species we meet
Wild animal and colorful birds in pair.;
Fresh fruits and vegetables we eat,
Harvested from blessed field
And all the Philippines literature
The masterpiece they given of
Well always be praise
For their great works

Article
The 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution gathered millions of Filipinos from all walks of life to march along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), the main artery of Metro Manila, to end the dictatorship of President Ferdinand E. Marcos and begin a new era marked by true freedom and democracy. This spirit of the movement was not confined to Manila; it manifested through non-violent demonstrations staged in different cities nationwide—it was a revolution marked by its peaceful means, led by a nation united to reclaim liberty.
The events of February 25, 1986, altered the course of our nation’s history; it showcased to the world the remarkable resolve of the Filipino people. It heralded an era of peace. Over the years, we have continued to remember this momentous occasion by honoring the sacrifices of all those who fought the dictatorship.
By virtue of Proclamation No. 1071, s. 2015, February 25, 2016, is a special (non-working) holiday throughout the country in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution—the movement that “restored our democratic institution and ushered in political, social and economic reforms in the country.”

Raining here again
Melting here sleeping softly
And life is healing
A morning shining
With the sun come down briefly
Loving the sunshine
The first ocean breeze
Egniting the people’s heart
Healing the words pain
The midnight so cold
Starin sg the stars peacefully
Hearing the echo w
The scenery shines
Hoping that this time will stop
Reminds me My love.;

:TANAGA"
Some say life is prominent
Life is full of puzzlement
But other treat forejudgement
Because life is unfrequent
Depression insanely strong
Sad emotion got headstrong
Happiness fading lifelong
Lonieliness feel side belong
But confidence can state mind
If you keep rising you’ll find
Tumblr media
Cultivates fucos behind
Positive of vibes refind
I am completely divine
Equipped all the descipline
Problem should always decline
So that you can slay headline
Remove all of the fearness
Use the word trust,prayfulness
Make a change and feel witness
The beauty of you softness
