na SA KABATAAN na sinulat ni Onofre Pagsanghan.
Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang Pilipino
ay ang salitang NABANSOT.
Kapang ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki
ngunit ito'y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang bagay na ito raw
ay NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ng pagkabansot ngunit
ay pinakamalungkot na uri raw ay ang pagkabansot ng
isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.
Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng paglaki,
ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang paglaki, at pag-
unlad ng ating buong katauhan, hindi lamang ng ating
sukat at timbang. Kung ga-poste man ang ating taas at
ga-pison man ang ating bigat ngunit kung ang pag-iisip
naman nati'y ga-kulisap lamang kay pangit na
kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man tayong tangkad-
kawayan at bumilog man tayong bilog-tapayan, ngunit
kung tayo nama'y tulad nibondyingay di
mapagkatiwalaan-anong laking kakulangan. Kung
magkakatawan tayong katawangTarzanat mapatalas
ang ating isipang sintalas ng kay Rizal, ngunit kung ang
ating kalooban nama'y itim na duwende ng kasamaan-
anong kapinsalaan para sa kinabukasan.
Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng Inang
Bayan. Tayo raw ang maghahatid sa kanya sa langit ng
kasaganaan at karangalan o hihils sa kanya sa putik ng
kahirapan at kahihiyan. Ang panahon ng pagkilos ay
ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang taon. Araw-araw ay
tumutuwid tayong palangit or bumabaluktod tayong
paputik. Tamang-tama ang sabi ng ating mga ninunong
Back of the smoke house into the lot,
-- 😊 HAPPY SHARING! 😊 --
kung ano raw ang kinamihasnan ay siyang
pagkakatandaan. Huwag nating akalaing
makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa
araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong magiging mga
dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating
akalaing makapaglulublob tayo ngayon sa kalaswaaan at
kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas sigla tayong
magiging ulirang mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay na
nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng pangarap wala rin sa
pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nasa pawis ng
gawa.
Bakit di dapat tumangkad tulad nibondying?
A. Di ito magpakakatiwalaan
B. Di totoo ito
C. May kakulangan ito
D. Magulo kasi ito
