SARIKAW


Hindi ito 'yung orihinal na monolith ng Sarikaw. Ito ang Sarikaw monument na makikita sa boundary ng Buhi at Iriga City.

By Juan Escandor Jr. .

Kristian Sendon Cordero , 23, poet and fictionist, confessed he feels he’ll die at the age of 40, and assuming he has some 17 years more to live, he wanted to be more productive by creating works that would contribute to Bicol literature. .

SARIKAW AT IRAGO
