   • 1998, Rogelio L. Ordoñez, Saan papunta ang mga putok ?

     Inaasahan naming pagdating sa bahaging ito ay “napagsaluhan” na natin ang “ piging” - isang masaganang hapag ng mga putaheng pampanitikan na handog sa atin ni Ka Roger. Nang wala nang marami pang pasakalye at kuskos-balungos.

     We expect at this part, we will "share" the "feast" - a lavish table of literary recipes out brother Roger provided us. [But], without lots of introductory ceremonies and fuss.
