A PLAGIARIZER…I AM NOT!

I, Isidoro Rosales, of Davao City, Philippines, will face any court of the land to prove that the poems in my Friendster Blog, http://doroastig.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/ (now: https://friendsterblog.wordpress.com/), are mine and written only by me. I still have my original manuscripts and can be carbon-dated for authenticity by anybody, anytime!
this is in response to Ms. Marge Tadeja’s comment:
totoo ba yan? read / seen it several times na kasi e

masakit kasi sa damdamin na ang pinaghirapan sa paggawa mong bahay na naging tahanan mo ng maraming taon, pagkatapos, may isang naanyayahang bisita at sasabihing hindi sa iyo ang bahay na ito.
tanggap na tanggap ko kung sabihin niyang mali ang pagkagawa ng bahay ko, na mali ang sukat, na mali ang pundasyon, na mali ang desinyo…pero ang sabihing hindi sa akin, pati lintik at kidlat, lalabanan ko!
porke ba hindi ako nakapagtapos, hindi affiliated sa anumang presthiyosong organisasyon, at bisaya pa, pagbibintangan nang magnanakaw? mali naman yata. aaminin ko, ang temang napili ko sa specific na item kung saan siya nag-iwan ng comment ( ANG AKING ANA) ay luma na subalit it is as universal as the universe itself! maraming mga mayayamang magulang na gagawin ang lahat para lang hindi mapunta sa isang dukha ang kanilang anak. isn’t this a universal truth? is this truth copyrighted and/or proprietary?
porke ba nakapagtapos siya, writer/researcher by profession, may karapatan nang magbintang? sa totoong-totoo lang, kung ako ang nasa papel niya, hinding-hindi ko gagawin itong ginawa niya, bagkus, ii-encourage ko pa ang sinumang nag-aatempt na pumasok sa larangan ng pagsulat. naaalala ko tuloy ang pabula ni aesop tungkol sa lobong naghahangad makuha ang matatamis na ubas!
kung katawang pisikal ko lang sana ang kanyang sinaktan, palalampasin ko dahil babae siyang tao. pero iba ito. DANGAL! isa sa mga nagiging panuntunan ko sa buhay, “…to defend my principle and my honor, should it be a matter of life or death…”and with this, i challenge Ms. Marge Tadeja to prove that the specific poem, ANG AKING ANA, and to the extent, any of the poems posted on my blog is/are written by person/s other than me, and that it/they was/were already in print/broadcast prior to the dates of my original manuscripts. if proven, even only one of these poems was written by someone else, i would waive my right as the author of all said poems to anyone of her choice.
magkagayunpaman, nagpapasalamat pa rin ako sa kanya ng buong-puso. dahil sa kanyang comment, nagkaroon tuloy ako ng oportunidad na ipakita sa buong mundo ang katotohang hindi ako nagnanakaw.
if her motives in posting the said comment is to discredit me, i have answered it. if it is otherwise, I AM VERY, VERY SORRY!!!
