I had a very unpoetic day at the International School Manila (ISM) today. Yeah, like do I need to elaborate what on earth I was doing there? Well, it's job-related.

Methinks I need another job to have a life.

On the other hand, our school is sending me to a seminar tomorrow. I don't even have an idea what's the seminar all about. I've strong feeling though that it's not even related to my present work. I've no choice but to go anyway.

Dalityapi message forum has been down for a week now. I've no idea if it's a technical problem on the part of the provider or if they've stopped the free service already. Anyway, the forums do not have a regular follower so I might as well take it down or change provider in a few days or so.

In the meantime, I am inviting my bard-brothers and sisters to join Awit Kayumanggi (Brown Song), a literary e-group.

I submitted some of my hay(na)ku attempts for the Hay(na)ku anthology.

The "hay(na)ku" is a Filipino and diasporic poetic form conceptualized by Eileen Tabios, as inspired by the character "Cameron" in Richard Brautigan's novel The Hawkline Monster and Jack Kerouac's thoughts on the "American haiku."

THE HAY(NA)KU ANTHOLOGY: A SUBMISSIONS CALL

Meritage Press is pleased to announce a Submissions Call for THE HAY(NA)KU ANTHOLOGY, co-edited by Jean Vengua and Mark Young. Deadline: December 31, 2004. Send submissions (cutnpasted in body of e-mail) to MeritagePress@aol.com. Submissions are limited to no more than ten (10) hay(na)ku per poet. If you have any commentary about the form itself, please feel free to share that as well as we'd like to incorporate other poets' thoughts in an Afterword essay.

Check out the list of sites that feature samples of hay(na)ku. permaLink | 0 comments

Salaysay ed Litiratura na Pangasinan is currently featured in the Columns section of the Sunday Punch. A copy of the said essay is also posted on my other blog - Vox Pangasinense.

I rarely write Tagalog poetry but here is one I've written a few days ago. I wouldn't have the guts to post it here had I not received an encouraging critique/comments from my bard-brother, Jose Jason Chancoco :-p

huni sa Caboloan

yumao na silang lahat
ang mga matatandang makata

na may hawak sa karapatang-ari
ng mga kuwento at mga tulang

nagkahugis at nagkakulay ginto
sa isipan at gunita ng mga ninuno

isa-isa’t unti-unti silang bumitaw
na parang mga nalagas na dahon

at mga liriong inagos ng panahon
sa kasaysayan ng pagkalimot

kung ano ang iniwaklit sa alaala
ay naglalaho’t nawawala

alamat man o talambuhay
at banyuhay ng mga kaluluwang

itinala sa mga pahinang sumasalamin
sa unibersong nilamon ng ebolusyon

sa mga mandirigmang kinalakian ni Urduja
sa mga lahing Aryan ng Ibalong

sa mga dinidiyos at bathalang pinagmulan
ng mga magigiting na bayani’t uliran

na ngayon ay mga labi na lamang
ng guniguni’t mailap na karanasan

yumao na silang lahat
ang mga matatandang makata

na may kinalaman sa batas ng logos
at pangalan ng mga musa at aristos

paano isasalaysay ang mga kasaysayang
alikabok na’t nakalibing sa limot?

paano maiaahon sa hukay
ang Sagada ng mga kalansay

na makapagpapatotoo sa panahon
at pagtatagpo ng apoy at delubyo?

maliban lamang kung iluluwang muli
ng logos ang kanilang budhi

upang iwasto ang kanilang pagkakamali
bago maisakatuparan ang isang mithi

ang pagpanaw ng mga katutubong lipi
at pagsilang ng huwad na lahi

Notes: Caboloan (the other & archaic name of Pangasinan) and Kinalakian (women-warriors).

First Manuscript Fair in the Country

The National Book Development Board (NBDB) announces the first-ever Manuscript Fair titled as "Gandang Katha, Ilathala," for both amateur and seasoned writers in the country who will now have the chance to bring their works into public awareness and consumption through publication. It gives opportunity for up-and-coming authors, writers, and researchers in the regions to get published, even if they lack the linkage with established publishers in Manila and elsewhere.

Local publishers will be invited to review and select manuscripts for possible publication. Publication of chosen manuscripts will be sponsored by publishers duly registered with NBDB.

However, before an author, writer, or researcher can join the fair, he or she must first register with NBDB and must submit the following: comprehensive bio-data, list of books written and published (including name of publisher/s), list of trainings or seminars attended, and one 2x2 photo.

He or she must also pay a nonrefundable filing fee of P100.00 and additional registration fee of P300.00, if his or her application for NBDB membership is approved. NBDB-registered authors or writers need not re-register but should present their Certificate of NBDB Registered Author.

Regional and provincial authors, writers, and researchers may register upon submission of their manuscripts to NBDB. They may also register through mail by requesting the application form via email at projects@nbdb.gov.ph or via postal mail. They must submit the duly accomplished form, together with the required attachments and payment, to NBDB through registered mail.

Now that said requirements are complied with, the participant should submit the duplicate of his or her manuscripts to NBDB at A. Maria Regidor Street, Area XI, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, 1101.

Regional and provincial participants may submit their manuscripts to the same address through courier or via e-mail (projects@nbdb.gov.ph). For hand-in submissions, receiving of manuscripts is on weekdays, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The manuscripts, which may be written in English, Filipino, or any regional language, must be typewritten, double spaced, on 8.5"x11" (short or letter) white bond paper. Individual synopses of the manuscripts should be included in the submission.

For computerized printout, the font type must be Times New Roman, size 12, using black color ink only. The manuscripts must be properly bound, and the title and the name of the author must appear on the cover.

The manuscript categories are: academic or reference book (must be endorsed by the principal that it is being used by the school), technical, literature, culture and the arts, reference book, children's book, trade book, biography, natural science, social science, guides or how-to's, and translations.

After a manuscript qualifies and is chosen by a publisher, the author must file an application of Copyright Ownership with the National Library. Manuscripts not chosen for publication may be claimed by their owners from the NBDB office.

Should a manuscript be chosen for publication by more than one publisher, the author has the right to select which publisher he or she likes.

Published works will be formally endorsed by NBDB to the Department of Trade and Industry, Board of Investments, for their authors to avail of other incentives offered by the government.

Local Writers Get Help From Senate

Newly-filed legislative proposals with the Senate and the Lower House push for the creation of a book development trust fund envisioned to benefit the sector which for too long has been relegated to the backseat in terms of governmental attention and support.

Senate Bill No. 78 and House Bill No. 1531, which both seek to establish the National Book Development Trust Fund, aim to promote the welfare of authors, especially those unknown yet talented ones in the regions or provinces, by supporting them financially so that they can work full-time on their manuscripts or research works.

Considered milestone legislations in the field of local book development, said initiatives were filed and sponsored by Senator Luisa "Loi" Ejercito Estrada and newly elected Iloilo City Representative Raul Gonzalez Jr., respectively.

The twin proposals sprung from the findings of a study conducted by the National Book Development Board (NBDB), the country's lead government agency on book development and readership promotion.

Most regional or provincial authors, the study reveals, have begun manuscripts or research works that take too long to finish because they are preoccupied with earning a living for themselves and their loved ones. What usually happens then is that they, on account of financial difficulties, abandon their manuscripts or research works.

With the trust fund's help, however, authors may opt to take a leave from their jobs and finish their manuscripts or research works without starving themselves and their families because they would be enjoying financial backing.

The study, which also inspired earlier legislative attempts made by former Senate Majority Leader Loren Legarda and former Deputy Speaker for Visayas Raul Gonzalez, further shows that the majority of locally published books are products of authors based in the National Capital Region, where most of the big publishers are also situated.

Such inequity in terms of opportunities has thus resulted in scores of authors from other parts of the country laboring in anonymity and suffering from financial dearth and especially lack of access to established publishers that are willing to invest on regional or provincial authors.

Estrada and Gonzalez are convinced that there are many talented authors, writers, and researchers in the regions that can put in writing their local knowledge and local stories. They can also write scientific and technical books that fit their local contexts, while others can translate classic works into the local languages.

The trust fund intends to support works on science and technology, local history, and subject areas wherein locally authored books are few or non-existent, and also aims to facilitate the development of stories and books for children that reflect Filipino culture and inspire pride in local history and national identity.

At least 65 grants will be awarded every year to deserving authors, writers, or researchers in the country, to enable them to produce or finish excellent manuscripts or research works for publication.

The proponents of the trust fund believe that the grants, which will be distributed equitably among the regions, could go a long way towards the production of a greater number and variety of on-school books as well as primary, secondary, and higher education textbooks that are useful and relevant to the local context of Filipino students.

In a country that boasts of 94.6% literacy rate, the National Book Development Trust Fund, Estrada and Gonzalez say, is expected to bring Filipinos closer to the day when every region and province has enough good authors who get published, and every region has a dynamic book trade with other regions.
