A PANGASINAN Cultural Night dubbed “Itandoro so Pangasinan: Glimpses of Pangasinan Life and Culture” will held on June 19, 6pm at the ChickaRue Resto in Conception Aguila Street, San Miguel, Manila. The event is in honor of the late Perla Samson-Nelmida, whose birth anniversary was June 19, and to mark the end of Rizal's Sesquicentennial. “All these efforts through the decades to promote Pangasinan culture through cultural festivals, formation of organizations such as OLUPAN and its paper Balon Silew would have not been realized if not through the works and ideas of my late mother,” said daughter Ma. Crisanta Nelmida-Flores, a UP Diliman professor and part-time Commissioner for Pangasinan Language with the Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino. Dinner tickets are at Php500 each, which covers Pangasinan cultural night food, songs, dances, poetry readings by Pangasinan artists, Tambayo Cultural Group, Matalonggaring Dance Troupe and a tribute to Samson-Nelmida. The tickets will also serve as ...

when seasons are a-changing summer's back into its fold there will i be awaiting on the verdant green & gold on yellow rolling hillocks where i will be the soft breeze the zephyr wind on your locks or the drowsy tenderness that will unpoem the scarlet tune of the lavender spring o sing with me then & let us be one heartbeat throbbing till the showers of autumn fall like the vermillion rain on a tangerine blossom whose name is a sweet refrain & i will be there with you till the blue wings of winter takes its flight & bids adieu to our rhymed days of thunder

श्रृंगार के स्वर आज रात मैं अबेलार्ड हूँ, मेरी हेलोईस | मैं गाऊंगा तुम्हारे गीत भरे होठों, तुम्हारे उभारों, जंघाओं और मीठे आश्चर्य को| जब तुम्हारी वस्त्रहीन दावत में, मेरा हृदय सब प्रतिज्ञाएँ तोड़ देगा| कूट भी दूंगा देवताओं के कपाल और वक्ष पाने के लिए लिए तुम्हें भयभीत नहीं हूँ मैं, मृत्यु हो या समय| मैं चुम्बनों से आभूषित करूँगा तुम्हारे हिमालय से उभारों को होगा ह्रदय मेरा एवेरेस्ट की ऊंचाइयों पर जब तुम्हारे गर्वीले उभारों का जोड़ा फँस जायेगा मेरे अधरों के बीच| नष्ट करो मुझे आहिस्ता-आहिस्ता प्रिय! रात की इस मृत्यु की सी शांति में त्यागते हुए रेशमी वस्त्र गुलाबी टखनों पर| छुपा लो मुझे कोमलता से छिपा लो मुझे, अपने समस्त आकर्षण से पूर्वी देह में| देखकर गुलाबों को तुम्हारे गाल के मैं अवाक् हूँ | और अवाक् हूँ तुम्हारे अधरों का, गालों का और उन्नत उभारों का सोमरस चख कर| शांत नन्ही कवितायेँ जो गीत बनायेंगी, मैं गाऊंगा तुम्हारे लिए| जैसे कि वो ईडन के अंतिम फूल हों , जैसे कि वो ईडन के अंतिम फल हों| मैं समीप आऊंगा तुम्हारे, चांदनी सा सफ़ेद, तारे सा तेज़ थामुंगा तुम्हें| कोमलता से, सोम्यता से बिन...

By Dennis Andrew S. Aguinaldo In his memoir Elegy for Iris, John Bayley revealed that the young Murdoch wanted her first novel to have “something for everybody.” This was, at least for Bayley, akin to the very spirit of Shakespeare’s corpus. Also, I find this phrase the best way to describe Santiago Villafania’s latest book. For in terms of language, advocacy, and aesthetic vision, Pinabli & other poems, indeed has something in hand for everybody. “Pinabli” is the Pangasinan word for beloved, perhaps a single beloved, but the reader will find that the direction of this passion disperses. This book extends itself, encompassing the country, the waxing and waning of its literature, blessing the Pangasinan language, embracing languages in their plurality and mutability (for—as a proper banquet—this book is generously attended by the translations of distinguished well-wishers into Filipino, Ilocano, English, Spanish, and Italian), drawing inspiration from Jose Rizal, Sap...

Press Release Launching of Santiago Villafania's Book April 28 Pinabli and Other Poems (published by C & E Publishing for De La Salle University), a collection of Pangasinan poems with selected translations in Filipino, English, and Spanish will be launched on April 28, 5.pm, at the Solidaridad Bookshop in Padre Faura, Ermita, Manila. The Philippine Center of PEN International sponsors the launching by holding it during its regular general meeting on the last Saturday of the month. Villafania is a board member of Philippine PEN. Dr. Florangel Rosario Braid wrote in her introduction that Villafania’s rise to become the most outstanding Pangasinan poet today is phenomenal. His writings demonstrate a more than usual keen sense of observation about the human nature and the environment around him. Pinabli and Other Poems consists of over 200 anlongs mostly deal with love, which he describes in a language full of imagery and lyricism. Santiago B. Villafania, a bilingual Filipino poe...

By April Montes LINGAYEN, Pangasinan, April 14 (PIA) --The province of Pangasinan centered this year’s celebration of Pangasinan Day on local literature, featuring the presentation and awarding of winners of the Pangasinan Literary Awards held on April 11 in this town. Pangasinan Literary Awards or “Kurit Panlunggaring” is the very first literary contest in the province designed to encourage local writers to produce more literary works written in the native tongue as to pay tribute to the beauty of Pangasinan language. “The Pangasinan Day is one way of renewing the Pangasinenses’ commitment to the preservation of our culture,” cited the provincial administrator Rafael Baraan. The contest was opened to all writers in Pangasinan and launched last February. Maria Luisa Elduayan, the provincial tourism officer said that they were able to gather 25 entries for essay writing and poetry writing in the youth division and 32 entries for poetry writing and short story writing in the adult divisi...

When the morning spreads her warm golden wings And the sapphire sky is wordlessly deep Look yonder and feast with your eyes the things Which you seldom see in your dreamful sleep Don’t you feel forlorn beloved pilgrim If the world will mind your lowly a state A time will come when their eyes will grow dim And they too will fall on our ...

LINGAYEN -- Seven Pangasinenses who had made a mark and great contribution to humanity will be accorded the greatest reverence by their very own province on April 11 through the Asna Awards. It will also be the third year celebration of Agew na Pangasinan (Pangasinan Day), which will be on April 5. The activities and celebration, however, were moved to April 11 as April 5 falls on Holy Week. Highest recognition, the Balitok Award, will be accorded to Hilarion "Larry” Henares of Sta. Barbara town, and lawyer Gabriel Singson of Lingayen. Henares, a descendant of Don Daniel Maramba (governor of Pangasinan from 1916 to 1922), is an economist, educator, business, and writer, among others, while Singson is a former governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Joining them as awardees are Ermin Garcia Jr. of Dagupan City, a journalist and publisher of Sunday Punch; Jose Datuin of Dagupan City, an international sculptor and artist; Ambassador Amadeo Perez Jr. of Urda...
