May araw din pala ang tangan kong panulat

MAY ARAW DIN PALA ANG TANGAN KONG PANULAT

(EVERY JUNE 9 IS NATIONAL BALLPOINT PEN DAY)

aba'y may araw din palang tinalaga sa bolpen

sa manunulat tulad ko'y dapat ipagdiwang din

lalo na't araw-gabi'y tangan ang bolpen kong angkin

upang magamit sa bawat akda kong susulatin

tinalaga sa nagdaang pitumpu't walong taon

ibig sabihin, noong digma, panahon ng Hapon

at naungusan na ang fountain pen at lapis ngayon

dahil dito'y kayraming akda ang nasulat noon

halimbawa'y liham ng pag-ibig sa sinisinta

sa mga nanliligaw pa lang ay liham-pagdiga

sa mga manunulat ay pag-akda ng nobela

sa mga makatang kinakatha'y tula tuwina

noon, tinta ng pluma'y di raw pantay na totoo

kaya maraming imbentor, ito'y inasikaso

salamat sa magkapatid na Laszlo't Gyorgy Biro

at itong bolpen ay naimbento't naging produkto

milyon-milyong bolpen na ngayon yaong nalilikha

at nakakarating na rin sa iba't ibang bansa

upang mabiling mura ng masa, kahit ng dukha

gamit sa komunikasyon at pagsulat ng madla

NATIONAL BALLPOINT PEN DAY

Grab your ballpoint pen and write this on your calendar. June 10th of each year, National Ballpoint Pen Day recognizes the useful writing utensil and commemorates the anniversary of the patent filing on June 10, 1943. 

Before 1943, anyone who wanted to write a letter or scribble some notes on a piece of paper used a fountain pen or pencil. Now the dominant writing instrument, the ballpoint pen was originally conceived and developed as a cleaner and more reliable alternative to the quill and fountain pens. In earlier years, many attempts by inventors led to failed patents as their inventions did not deliver the ink evenly. They also had overflow and clogging issues. However, in June of 1943, the brothers Laszlo and Gyorgy Biro obtained their patent for the ballpoint pen, revolutionizing how many write letters and conduct business. 

Today, manufacturers produce ballpoint pens by the millions and sell them worldwide. As a promotional tool, ballpoint pens find their way into our hands from advertisers of all sorts assuring that we always have a ballpoint pen handy, too.
