Talisay, a Place of History

Cynthia Millan

Tall as a tree, strong as they flee,
History makes it free and people living within it make it with glee
This is a place where hopes and dreams
start to break free.

Many say a place like this won’t be livelier
But it is a place of wonder,
And a place full of history.

A hero used to live here, not only a legend,
Nor a normal person,
But a hero that makes Philippines a place
where knowledge and freedom is existing.

I can say that I was born in a place of wonder,
A place full of history and surprises,
I am proud of my place and so are you.
