I finally met the poet Dr. Cirilo F. Bautista in person at the launching of Tomas 6 in the University of Santo Tomas yesterday afternoon. We had a brief chat about regional and on-line poetry, and about the Nobel. Yeah, thanks to my friend Jose Jason Chancoco for dragging be along UST. It was indeed a poetic experience for my part. And prior to this event, I submitted my poetry entry for the NCCA's Ubod. The results will be released in January 2003. Wishing my self some luck!

Here’s another poem in Pangasinan language. Yes, I am rushing things up to complete my collection. I am coming out with another one already. I’ve not translated it into English though. By the way, I just finished my entry for the Ubod but I've change the title to Balikas na Caboloan . Hopefully, I'll be submitting the manuscript at the NCCA office tomorrow if not on the 29th Nov. noli me tangere (agmo ak didioiten) aleg agmo ak didioiten no say oalad kanunutan mo et mangabil na kaparam agmo ak tataoagey pangalatok agmo ak tataoagey pangalatot ta umpano unalitengteng so duaran layag ko agi ibasibas kod sika iya’y aoit kon latok unsempet kan say lupam singano dinumog na kamontoc sakey simba kan ag makamulagat aleg agmo ak didioiten agmo ak tataoagey pangalatok agmo ak tataoagey pangalatot ta alioalioan pangaran itan ya say labay ton ibaga et marurutak inumpisaan daray ampuputin bakes tan mimistison bangus nensaman agmo la ira aaligen agi ta anggan antoy karukey na pasinsiak ump...

My father taught me the original version of this Pangasinan verse. In this version, I've changed the last two lines to create the exact 8-syllabled lines and maintain the psuedo-rhyming effect. kimmalab ak ed palandey kimmalab ak ed palandey nakar ko ran pinapatey so mabayanin tabuney insublay ko ray gilata agi! agi! kinetket da so lusik ya amintana In the News: A Mummy's Bequest: Poems From a Master A mummy's gift, a forsaken papyrus scroll borne these 2,100 years or so over an entombed breast, now stands revealed to scholars as a multifaceted jewel of epigrammatic poetry from the cultural heyday of Alexandrian Egypt. The well-preserved scroll is being celebrated as a triumph of the archaeology of literature, the most significant discovery of Greek poetry in decades.

I'm back from a 2-day hiatus. Anyway, let me just give you a summary of what transpired at the Literary Book Writing Seminar in PSU, Lingayen. I was greeted with warm welcome when I arrived at the venue of the seminar. I was ask to register and pay the registration fee in which I've not expected. Quite anxious to reach the 2nd floor of the HRM Training Center and thought of introducing myself to Dr. Andaya, the Director of External, Cultural and Performing Arts (PSU) and the editor of the Balon Silew . She and I exchanged email and text messages a couple of times. She did not, however, recall my name until Dir. Jaime P. Lucas introduced me to the rest of the workshop participants. I was asked to say something about the current state of Pangasinan literature and to recite one of my Pangasinan poems. That I did. The second day was just a series of literary lectures delivered by prominent Iluko writers. Pangasinan literature was not tackled though. The Association of Writers and ...

Tada . Another Pangasinan poem but still in progress. By the way, I'm off to Pangasinan tonight. That's 4-6 hours of road trip minus the traffic. First thing tomorrow I'll be at the PSU for the book writing seminar. I've no idea what to expect. I don't know anyone and I've never been in that institution. Nope, not even during my college days. But I'm sure there's lot to be learned and discover there. virtud -- akablos so taluran Virtudes nen nilukasan nen Maria so kaban ya imbilibilin na Dios ya ag nepeg ya lukasan sika so anac na daan ya dagem ya anggapoy panduoaruoan kinupkup andi alioa ak ya sapli odino uran na malurem ya taoen agko buragaw so amataan mon angipanengneng na ermen ed talba anggapo ak ed liknaan ya narngel mon ag natinag na pilosopiyam siak so anac na daan ya dagem kareenan ya uneengas na anlong napnoy ag naipalioaoan antokaman

at the LIRA (for Rio Alma) wordlessly the Adarna bird looks upon the novitiates where they express their minds bare their timeless passions and break their souls laboring to tame their winged conceits here in the Parnassus of lesser gods they offer their craft with beauty and pride only to be judged by their peers and foes and those who will be forged anew with fire will beg for the verdict of Apollo one or two will assume their fitted place in the fabled circle with their green bud of imageries rhetoric and forms soon you will see them ritualized in print mastering their madness and maladies

at the LIRA
(for Rio Alma)
wordlessly the Adarna bird looks upon
the novitiates where they express their minds
bare their timeless passions and break their souls
laboring to tame their winged conceits
here in the Parnassus of lesser gods
they offer their craft with beauty and pride
only to be judged by their peers and foes
and those who will be forged anew with fire
will beg for the verdict of Apollo
one or two will assume their fitted place
in the fabled circle with their green bud
of imageries
rhetoric and forms
soon you will see them ritualized in print
mastering their madness and maladies
