Dyer Nanay
by John Hingco
Dyer Nanay by John Hingco shows the desire of every woman to help their family. This particular Kinaray-a poem though has described the heartbreaking status of some women in postcolonial countries. Due to poverty and ignorance , due to lack of education, women are forced to sell their body, as the reports on human trafficking tells us, often this women are promised better life for their family and themselves only to find themselves enslaved in foreign places with no one to turn to.

Dyer Nanay, kumusta ron tinyo
nahidlaw ron takon
kaninyo nga tanan.
"Nay,
luyag ko run kuntani nga magpauli
indi ron takon
kantus kangakon
obra rigya sa Japan.
Kuon kagrekruitment edyensi

ang obra namo rigya.
Mura dia
nagapa por kilo

Tatki-isa

"Nay,
kun-an mo gali si Neneng
nga indi ron mag-ambisyon
nga magdanser rigya sa Japan,
nga daaan wara pa ran eksperyens
neber bin tats, neber bin kist
'Nay,
kun-an mo dulang tana
nga magtanum kamote

kag magsagud kang idik.
"Nay, "nay,
indi ron takon kaagwanta
