The Parable of the Rainbow Colors
Juan M. Flavier
It all started as innocent statements by each of the colors. No attempt was made by anyone
to denigrate the others. There was even an element of restraint and humility.
But as time went on, the colors’ declaration became stronger and haughty with an overtone
which tended to put down the other colors. Their claim became very explicit as to who was the
best color.
Said the color Red, “I am the brightest for red is the most striking. Why? Life’s sustaining
blood is colored red. I represent courage and bravery. Even love symbols such as heart and roses
are colored red.”
The color Yellow retorted, “What can be brighter than my yellow exemplified by the sun? I
am the color of gaiety and of warmth. Without me, only the eye-glaring ones remain.”
“What outlandish claims!” interposed the color Orange. “Sunrise is orange, not yellow. I
am more important because I represent health and strength. Look at the ripened fruits and
vegetables, they are predominantly orange.”
“Well, if you are talking about vegetables and leaves, you are referring to my color,”
declared the color Green. “I am the symbol of life. All that thrives in the fields and the forests is
the greenery I provide. I am the most important color.”
The color Blue could not help it anymore, so it shouted, “What can be more expansive than
the sky and the seas? Do you forget that the farthest skies and the deepest seas are blue? I represent
patriotism. I stand for the depth of feelings and extensive spaces.”
The color Indigo came out with the statement, “You talk about wide areas. I hope you
realized that the largest area in the world is silence, and I represent that dimension with my color.
It means thoughtfulness. It is prayer expressed in the deepest of feelings.”
“Aha! You forget the pomp of royalty and power is violet,” shouted the color. “I am
wisdom and authority. What can be overwhelming?
Suddenly, the rain interrupted the contentious exchange of arguments. “You are probably
all wrong and all right. Yes, you all have your unique features. But all of you have a special role.
And more importantly, you need each other to give the mixed colors of beauty. From now on, you
will not be seen separately. When it rains, a strip of colors will appear in the sky. You will appear
together. You will be called a rainbow. You will then represent cooperation and hope.

Here the birds sing Merrily, Golden beams of sunrise and sunset Region IX our Eden Land
The liberty forever Stays, Are visions you’ll never forget
Oh! That’s Region IX Region IX
Our..
Here the Badjaos roam the seas Reviewed
Hardworking people Abound, by: Eden...
Here the Samals live in peace Every valleys and Dale Land...
Here the Tausogs thrive so free Zamboangueños, Tagalogs, Bicolanos,
With the Yakans in unity
My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.
On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Pray for all those that hapless have died,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight, For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need. And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain
I die just when I see the dawn break, And when the dark night wraps the graveyard around
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; With only the dead in thei r vigil to see
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, Break not my repose or the mystery profound
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake And perchance thou mays t hear a sad hym n resou nd
To dye with its crimson the waking ray. 'T is I, O my country, raising a song unto thee.
My dreams, when life first opened to me, And even my grave is rem embered no more
My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high, Unmark'd by never a cross nor a s tone
Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea Let the plow sweep through i t, the spade turn it o'er
From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free; That my ashes may carpet earthly floor,
No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye. Before into nothing ness a t last they are blown.
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, Then wil l oblivion bring to me no care
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; As over thy vales and plai ns I sweep;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; Throbbing and cleansed i n thy space and air
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire; With color and lig ht, wi th song and lament I fare,
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night. Ever repeating the fai th that I keep.
If over my grave some day thou seest grow, My Fathe rland ador'd, tha t sadness to my sorrow lends
In the grassy sod, a humble flower, Beloved Filipinas, hear now my last good -by!
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so, I give thee all : parents and kindred and friends
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below For I go where no slave be fore the oppressor bends,
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power. Where fai th can never kill , and God reigns e'er on high!
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene, Farewell to you all, from my soul torn awa y,
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes, Friends of my childhood i n the home dispossessed!
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ; Give thanks tha t I rest from the wearisome day!
And if on my cross a bird should be seen, Farewell to thee , too, swe et friend that lightened m y way;
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes. Beloved creatures all, farewell! I n death there is rest!
