CON LAS LICENCIAS NECESARIAS.
MANILA - IMPRENTA DEL COLEGIO DE STO. TOMÁS 1903.
This collection gathers simple yet resonant moral maxims written in both Ilocano and Spanish, created especially for children. Each short verse pairs a devotional thought with everyday guidance, inviting young ears to reflect on kindness, honesty, and respect for God and community. The bilingual format lets listeners hear the same teaching in two voices, deepening cultural connection.
Arranged by themes such as family duties, proper conduct for the young, and virtues like humility and generosity, the pieces blend poetic imagery with clear instruction. From reminders to care for the poor to encouragement to follow a straight path, the sayings are concise enough for easy memorization yet rich enough to spark conversation.
Listening to these verses feels like sitting beside a wise storyteller; the rhythm of the verses carries a gentle, melodic flow that holds attention. Ideal for family gatherings or classroom moments, the work offers a glimpse of early 20th‑century Filipino moral education while remaining relevant for today’s listeners.

Some of the world’s most enduring books come from writers whose names were never recorded or never revealed. “Anonymous” on a title page can mean many different things: a lost identity, a deliberate choice, or a work shaped by tradition over time.
