Sibale Island, the beautiful.

We're Proud to be a Sibalenhon
by Jose F. Rafols

In the years
that passed by,
with many typhoons
and moonson rains,
with many disasters and
tragedies,
with many generations
that left and gone,
to fight for freedom,
to explore new frontiers
in search for better life,
to face new realities,
through unity, team work
and patience,
Sibale has remarkably changed.
Many young minds
stay in agriculture,
in sea faring adventures,
others risk their future in business,
become teachers, engineers,
medical practitioners,
politicians, soldiers ,
religious ministers,
accountants, and on and on.
No island can match
Sibale,
in scenic beauty,
white beaches and
crystal clear water,
family unity and solidarity,
religious freedom,
abundance of natural resources,
warm and
hospitable people.

Our island is blessed
with many resources and talents.
The importance
and dignity of the
individual is
respected at all times.
In the eyes of the
Almighty we are created to His image.
We do have our differences.
We argue and discuss issues
for the islands improvement,
personality set aside.
We blame no others for our
failures but we plan for the
best to happen.
Our differences in
politics and thinking
are not a hindrance
to changes.
When we join together
in times of crisis,
our strenght is awesome.
We are one in hearts and minds.
We are offsprings of our
mothers land.
Among all the
neighboring islands,
Sibale
stands out front.
We are a Sibalenhon.
We are proud to be one-----
and don't  ever,
ever
forget it.
