Florante at Laura (Summary in English)

Was humming Rolando Tinio's "Minsan Pa" when I reached the word Kundangan (If It Were Not For), and after a trip to Google, stumbled upon the e-text version of Florante at Laura, the great Tagalog epic written by Francisco Balagtas, as painstakingly typed into text form by May Lim and Arlene Lim.

Sometimes, the connections on the web can be quite serendipitous, don't you think?

(Florante at Laura, some say, is like Romeo and Juliet. Only with a happy ending. Hmmm... sounds like a Disney movie.)
