Litratong Pinoy#75 Hiling (Wish)

My wishes are like answers by a beauty queen contestant during the question and answer portion of a beauty contest. Here they are…
Pilipino: Ang mga hiling ko ay parang sagot ng isang kontestante sa parteng tanungan ng isang patimpalak ng pagandahan. Eto na…

My wishes for this Christmas is that may the Philippines have a peaceful and clean election this coming year. I wish that justice be given immediately to the victims of the Maguindanao massacre.
Pilipino: Ang mga hiling ko ngayong Pasko ay magkaroon ang Pilipinas nang mapayapa at malinis na eleksyon ngayong darating na taon. Sana mabigyan ng katarungan ang mga biktima ng Maguindanao massacre sa madaling panahon.

And I wish that Philippines will develop more because we are already being left behind by our Asian neighbors like Malaysia.
Pilipino: At saka sana umasenso na ang Pilipinas kasi napag-iiwanan na tayo ng iba pang Asyanong bansa gaya ng Malaysia.

Development with an eye to sustainability like what Australia is doing.
Pilipino: Asenso na tumitingin sa pangmatagalang pagsusustento gaya ng ginagawa ng Australia.

Of course, I wish that we won’t forget that Christmas is the time to celebrate the birth of Jesus and not just a celebration of material things.
Pilipino: Siyempre, hiling ko na sana hindi natin makalimutang ang Pasko ay panahon ng pagdiriwang ng kaarawan ni Hesus at hindi pagdiriwang pangmateryal lamang.

Merry Christmas to all!
Pilipino: Maligayang Pasko sa lahat!
