Mangyan script version of an extract from ambahan no. 234

If united we remain
and our bond is strong and pure,
you and I, far as we are,
it's like holding hands again,
it's like sitting side by side.

Kung buklod ay matibay
Maayos ang samahan
Ikaw nga at ako man
Magkahawak ng kamay
Wari'y nasa kandungan!

From ambahan no. 34
