An Ilokano Pride
by: Maritess C. Gaa

There was a hero in the north

Who brought pride that set forth
His name was Manuel Arguilla
A pride of Bauang in Ilocandia

“How my Brother Leon Brought Home a Wife” is one of his masterpiece

He was also the editor of the UP Literary apprentice
Apart from writing he was also into swimming
Truly, he always aims of winning

He was married to Lydia Villanueva

He was a guerilla during the Japanese era
He fought for freedom yet exiled
At Fort Santiago and at the age of 33 he died
