Bro, if possible please post the Palanca Awards 2010 Guidelines.
I can't seem to find it in their website and anywhere in the web. As far as I know, they only published the start and end date of the competition but not the app forms, etc. The only existing guidelines in .PDF is only for 2007 however, Palanca is known to update their guidelines and criteria every year.

I think my forte is the ability to standout whenever I get pressured much, or feel that there's someone competitive around me. I'm not very good in writing anything at all, during ordinary days. But once the situation calls for a piece to standout, I'm usually able to come up with something that does stands out.

Also, whenever I feel sad, hurt, depressed, lost, defeated, and all other negative emotions, I tend to come up with a decent poem.

poetry has always been my pride.
i may not be that talented, my scripts doesn't grab awards
but it has always been the best way i would spill out my mind.
power of words need not be delusive, as long as it captures what the mind is talking about
it may be too fervid and rage-- but in the end, it would always portrait what i am and
what my fervid heart wants to say.
