Jose Jason Chancoco ’s pioneering and scholarly work, Pagsasatubuanan: Poetikang Bikolnon, is a koh-i-noor in the canon of Bikol poetics and literary criticism. A rare achievement! This 200-page book on literary criticism in Bicol language will be published this December 2008 through a grant from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts . "Pagsasatubuanan – a coined term derived from the Iriganon word ‘tubuanan’ or the first sprout from a Pili tree seedling found to be a favorite delicacy of kadlagan (forest) roaming kids and much sought after during rural soirees. The term shall stand for ‘katutubo’ or native. Hence, ‘Pagsasatubuanan’ is a perspective on the direction of contemporary Bikol poetic writing, deriving aesthetic value and wisdom from indigenous poetic forms alongside foreign modalities. It is thus placed as modernism in the Bikolnon context. In the midst of hybridism, postmodernism, neocolonialism; the book seeks to trace the ‘birtud’ of indigenous Bikol poe...

THE fifth edition of the English-Pangasinan-Filipino dictionary, authored by Mel Jovellanos, will soon be off the press following the brisk sales enjoyed by the earlier editions. “Its selling like a hot cake its success is really encouraging,” said Jovellanos who embarked on the project to revitalize and preserve the Pangasinan language. Jovellanos said it took him 17 years to put together the first edition, published in March 2002, which was only 350 pages. He has added new words into each new edition, including assimilated words from Filipino, the official Philippine language, and the fifth edition has been expanded to 500 pages. Jovellanos, son of popular Pangasinan writer and former Dagupan City mayor Jose Villamil Jovellanos, said he was inspired to work on this dictionary “because many claim Pangasinan is a dying dialect so we have to preserve and revitalize it”. Jovellanos, 72, is the president of the Dr. Jose Tamayo Foundation which was established for the preservation and revi...

By Ricardo Ma. Duran Nolasco TAGALOG, PILIPINO AND FILIPINO ARE LABELS by which the national language has come to be known at different periods of our history. In the early 1900s, people of different ethnic origins were communicating with each other with an evolving Manila-based lingua franca. Commerce and trade motivated the need for this common language. The elite spoke Spanish or English. In the 1930s the Quezon government chose Tagalog as the basis for our national language, making it in effect the national language. It was to be the symbol of our nationhood, much like the flag and the anthem. It was to be "enriched primarily through the Philippine tongues" although the law also provided for its purification. It was also to be taught in school as a subject. In 1959, a memorandum from the Department of Education changed the name of the language (and the subject) to "Pilipino" to remove the regional bias that the term "Tagalog" evoked. This didn't wo...
