Thanks for blogging about this. I'm sure this will inspire more Filipinos to express their creativity in "film."

MannyV, my Pangasinan-language translation of Carlos Bulosan’s 1942 poem “Landscape with Figures” was used as a narration in this film :)

Chris Gozum is pioneering the production of films in Pangasinan. He is the first actually. He is coming out with a full-length film based on Pangasinan poems.

About | Santiago Villafania

Image
Santiago Villafania is a bilingual Filipino poet who writes in English and in his native language of Pangasinan. Born in Tuliao, Sta.

Villafania advocates for the resurgence of Pangasinan as a literary language. His works in the vernacular are some of the most representative, if not among the few that comprise that Pangasinan contemporary literary body.

This second book by Pangasinan’s leading poet today is impressive in both form and substance. Villafania has created 300 sonnets and 50 villanelles in his own language that a...
