A! Prinsipen Anak-Caboloan
Saray dayeo mo so idangoan mi
Ta sika may piog-ogagepan
Ya mangitalindeg na galang mi.
Sulming ka’d sengeg na Caboloan
Andawes ka’d saray arawdaoi
Anak iran nabligan na lamang
Pian paoilen da’y dilan pinabli.
Ag mo kari pandeene’y plumam
Parlang mo’y seseg ed pageo mo
Ya angga’d ag ibango’y Salitan
Anambayo’d dilin bilay tayo.
A! ilalak na banua’d letakan
Ibuang mo pa’y danas na pansesga
Gawim pa ‘ra’y ami’y kaagian
Ya oniliw’d gendat a Salita.
Igulom pa’y geleo-Pangasinan
Ya onsungpa’d dilan sangkaili
Pangkirlap mo pa’y ayuran plumam
Laknaban to’y Layug a pinili.
Sagyat mo kari ‘ra’y kabanyakan
Diad matmoy, makaroyon tanila
Sayakop mo’y puso’y katayakdang
Diad matbao, mablin pananalita.
Isibbuag mo pa ‘ra’y sangkasurian
Ya an-anlong mon essiab na pusom
Ipasek, ikayat mo pa ‘ra yan
Laineng na musian lapua’y arom.
A! Prinsipe, idantal mo’y kurang
Ibasbas mo’y dalan ed Parnasu
Ta manomtombok kamin kaagian
Araoi pan onsoko’y pageo mo.
Ta ag la pigan diad kasulitan
Na kairapan to nian pilaban
Ta diad elet na sisia’d Kataoan
Ya Amalsa’y Pangasinan
Et saray Anak-Caboloan
No pablien tan kaoananen da ‘may
Salitan gendat lan kasipuran
Aliling to’y dalin—amagaan
Balet no naynay ya naoranan
Onlemek tan namaymay lan lamang
Pian sikato lanti pamaseka’y
Bini’y Salitan andi miegpang
Diad sibeg, aro tan pankaoanan
Ontobo, onsalindak, onsibbual.

He is a member of Philippine PEN. Read more »
"The publication of Malagilion: Sonnets tan Villanelles by Santiago B. Villafania should be a source of rejoicing for readers of regional literatures. This second book by Pangasinan's leading poet today is impressive in both form and substance. Villafania has created 300 sonnets and 50 villanelles in his own language that attempt to reflect the primacy of native culture and return the poet to the central stage of social life." – A Boost to Pangasinan Literaturefrom Breaking Signs by Cirilo F. Bautista (Philippine Panorama, 16 Dec. 2007, pp.25-26)
"Sa kanyang pangalawang aklat na Malagilion, nangahas na naman siya (Villafania) na gumimbal sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Sonnets tan Villanelles upang ilibing sa limot ang aking pag-usisa't pag-urirat kung paano na ang panitikang Pangasinan." – Victor Emmanuel Carmelo Nadera, Jr., Tagapangulo, Unyon ng mga Manunulat sa Pilipinas
"Villafania is not only a visionary poet, he is a linguistic philosopher who codifies the origin of language and culture, dissects the myths and the common beliefs of the people against the urban legends, juxtaposes the literary tradition against the modern influences by dialectically infusing them in his poetic revelation of truth." – Poetic Revelation in Language and Culture by Danny C. Sillada (Manila Bulletin, 12 May 2008, pp. F1-F2)
"Sumusunod si Sonny Villafania sa landas na hinawan ng mga manunulat sa Pangasinan na nauna sa kanya. Sa kanyang paglalakbay, hinahawan din niya ang bagong mga landas na maaaring sundin ng susunod na mga manunulat sa wikang Pangasinan. Subalit hindi lamang para sa mga taga-Pangasinan ang kasalukuyang akda. Ito rin ay panawagan sa mga manunulat sa ibang mga wika sa Pilipinas upang patuloy na pagyamanin ang kanilang panitikan at pagsulat. Kung walang mga lokal na panitikan ay hindi magiging posible ang tunay na panitikang pambansa." – Dr. Ricardo Ma. Nolasco, Tagapangulo, Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF).

"Santiago Villafania's Balikas ed Caboloan certainly has reinvigorated the anlong tradition of Pangasinan that for a long period of time suffered silence from the hands of writers more attuned to English writing. Characteristically anacbanua, Villafania's poetry echoes his predecessors and presages a promising era for young writers in Pangasinan." – Dr. Marot Nelmida-Flores
