Kaming mga nilalang na naninirahan sa lupa ay nagsusumamo, nakikiusap sa Inyo, Panginoon. Kami ay may isang hiling na nais naming maparating. Nawa’y maibigay nito ito sa amin para kami’y manatiling buhay sa Iyong kaharian.
Humihingi po kami ng ulan.
English Translation:
We, who dwell on land, are praying to you, Lord. We have one request that we would like to send to you. We hope that you could give this to us so that we may continue to live in Your kingdom.
We would like to ask for rain.
Author’s Notes:
1. This prompt list is from Putimbulak on Twitter. I have permission from him to take this out of Twitter as I wish to do the prompt challenge here instead. (You may either click on the image or the link above to be redirected to his page.)
2. This particular muntikatha (microfiction) piece is also posted on my personal Twitter account.
3. I added an English translation for our foreign readers.
4. I also wrote this when the heat index was rather high. May was a really hot month. The piece is really similar to Day 2’s microfiction; both are about the unbearable heat.
