𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝗠𝗚𝗔 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗡𝗔 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗣𝗢𝗦, 𝗠𝗚𝗔 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗔𝗜𝗪𝗔𝗡
“Nak, kumusta plates mo?”

Iyon ang lagi nilang tanong.

Hindi, “Kumain ka na ba?”
Hindi, “Pagod ka ba?”
Hindi, “Uuwi ka ba ngayong gabi?”

Kundi,

“Nak, kumusta plates mo?”

At palagi kong sinasagot,
“Konti na lang.”

Konti na lang ang kulang sa floor plan.
Konti na lang ang sections.
Konti na lang ang perspectives.
Konti na lang ang rendering.
Konti na lang, at matatapos na.

Pero sa bawat konti na lang,
may hapunan na naman akong hindi naaabutan.

May isang plato sa hapag.

Walang kanin.
Walang ulam.
Walang kubyertos na kumakalansing.

Nakahain lang ito sa gitna ng mesa.

Malinis.

At marahil, iyon ang pinakamalungkot na klase ng plato.

Dahil ang mga plato ko sa paaralan ay kailangang mapuno.

Puno ng linya.
Puno ng sukat.
Puno ng annotations.
Puno ng detalye.

Kailangan walang espasyong nasasayang.

Pero sa bahay, may isang platong sadyang walang laman.

At ako ang kulang dito.

Where stories are etched in every stone and traditions flow through generations, a new current begins to stir.

From the timeless streets of Ciudad de Vigan, we set our sails toward a horizon shaped by purpose, passion, and collective vision.

🧵 Something is about to be woven.

Like every strand of Inabel finding its place on the loom, we believe that every sarabo—every connection—helps create something stronger, more meaningful, and uniquely ours. As the threads slowly come together, a new chapter of panagkaykaysa and binnadang is about to unfold.

The loom is ready. The threads are waiting. Will you be part of the weave?

✨ UAPSA-UNP Membership Drive — Coming Soon.
