Proud and Flying

Sunday, June 1 | |

Canon SX100IS, 1/640, f4.0, no-flash, 6mm, ISO 80

PILIPINO - Kuha ito isang mainit na tanghali habang naglalakad sa Luneta. Nag-iisa ang isandaang piye na bantayog sa tapat ng monumento ng pambansang bayani. Sa dulo nito --- kung walang rayuma ang mga buto ng leeg mo at madali lang para sa iyo ang tumingala --- makikita mo ang maliksing pagwagayway ng bandilang Pilipino. Lumilipad ito sa mabilis na ihip ng hangin --- isang makulay na simbolo ng kalayaan.

ENGLISH - This was taken one hot noon while walking in Luneta. Near the monument of the national hero, there stands a 100-feet tall pole which bears the flying flag of the Philippines. The flag flies furious and free, a true symbol of freedom.

FRENCH - Ceci a été pris un midi chaud tout en marchant dans Luneta. Près du monument du héro national, là tient un poteau de 100 pieds de grand qui soutient le drapeau de vol des Philippines. Le drapeau pilote furieux et libère, un symbole vrai de la liberté.

Justement, maintenant que nous sommes en paix en France, beaucoup contestent le drapeau. Lors de mon séjour En Californie, j’étais avec une cousine par alliance. Son mari avait fait la guerre d’Algérie, il est mort il y a 25 ans, très jeune, de maladie. Son cercueil a été enveloppé dans le drapeau français. Sa veuve en a été réconfortée, un petit peu. Lorsqu’il était parti en Algérie, ils étaient jeunes mariés et avaient une petite fille. Elle était retournée vivre chez ses parents avec son enfant.
Le drapeau est tout de même symbole de la Patrie.

Watson - Great timing! Thanks.

Thess - Oo, ang taas kasi!

Meeya - Salamat!

Toni - Hahaha! Will probably not repeat and will try to look for a new subject.

Cergie - Le drapeau soulage le las. Il donne l'espoir quand nous sommes désespérés.
