TUKO, THE TENOR WANNA BE

Story by: Nemah N. Hermosa
Tuko once went to the opera where he heard the great Tabibili sing. Ever since,
Tuko wanted to be a singing star. He believed he could be a great tenor.
He went to music school and had voice lessons. And how Tuko practiced! He sang
upon waking up. He sang before and after meals. He sang before going to bed. He sang in the
school. He sang in the bus. He sang in the church. And of course he sang in the bath.
Everybody else knew Tuko could not sing beyond two notes. They told him so.
But Tuko was bent on a singing career. He would not listen to his friends. He
would not listen to his bus driver. He would not listen to the minister. He would not listen
to his teacher. He would not listen to his mother who knew best. He would not listen even
to Tiki, his best friend.Tuko told her “ You just don‟t want me to be a star, that‟s why”
Finally, it was time for Tuko‟s recital? First, he sang a balitaw which is a sad song.
Everyone giggled, except his mother. Then Tuko sang a kundiman which is a love
song. When he reached the high notes, he closed his eyes.

2
When he opened them, the audience was gone! Except Tiki. She looked at Tuko with sad
eyes. Then she crept away.
Tuko did not sing for a long, long time after that. He thought and thought “I must have
my music,” he said, “but I must also keep my friends.”
Tuko still went to music school. But not to become a tenor. He has become a star all
right as conductor of the Bubuli Symphony orchestra!
His mother, Tiki, and all his friends were very proud of him.
