The night’s poetic inertia could not be carried by fleeting words alone. It was during 4K Barrel’s set, just after the open-mic, when writers and audience alike hit the dance floor, fleshing-out metaphors and rhymes into upbeat swings, turns and gyrations. And so they did strut their wares. But the OragonRepublic.Com Writers’ Night last July 19 started rather nice and serene. Webmaster/owner Fer Basbas gave the usual welcome address with Literary Editor Jose Jason L. Chancoco as host. The guest writers/readers were Ford Scholar Frank Peñones, Kabulig Auditor Marissa Casillan, Kabulig President Estelito Jacob, Salakab ringleader Jo Bisuña, Medtech-Poet Sonny Sendon, Kabulig Treasurer Dr. Judith Salamat, Vox Bikol columnist Vic Nierva, Catanduanes writer Gerry Rubio, ‘Tigsik Queen’ Aida Cirujales, The Pillars staffer Elmer Ramos, and love poets Lance Gulim and Tess Rey.

Pangasinan’s new governor, Amado Espino Jr., introduced new “house rules” for provincial government employees during his first Monday Flag Raising ceremony in front of the Capitol Building. Notably, he requires the use of the Pangasinan language among employees and when transacting business with the public.
