Abstract

This poem, written in Cebuano, is a witty account of a little girl’s relationship with her father. Rich in local colour, she narrates an exciting yet fearful act of collecting coins sliding out from his father’s pocket due to her desire for a sweet and delicious candy as her sole snack to bring to the sea for a swim. Her father knew this, but he did not punish her because he knew her daughter deserves such simple joy that a life of dearth can offer.
