Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Eros Pinoy An Anthology of Contemporary Erotica in Philippine Art & Poetry by Virgilio Aviado Eros Pinoy: An Anthology of Contemporary Erotica in Philippine Art & Poetry by Virgilio Aviado. THE MOST CHARMING BOOKS OF 2001. Manila, January 6, 2002 (STAR) By Alfred A. Yuson - I believe the most important publication of the year was the three-volume anthology Legal Write, also known as The Philippine Supreme Court Centenary Reader, 1901-2001, published by the Philipine Judiciary Foundation, Inc. Volume One, for which this writer served as an editor together with Gémino H. Abad and Asuncion Albert, is Supreme Court Decisions as Literature. It showcases excerpts from decisions of the High Tribunal, selected on the basis of their beauty or strength as prose. To quote from the Introduction by Nick Joaquin, "If literature be a mirror held up to society, then our legalese offers a veritable library of Philippine classics." Volume Two, titled Supreme Court Decisions as Philosophy, is edited by Justice Abraham F. Sarmiento, while Volume Three, Supreme Court Decisions as History, is edited by Justice Camilo D. Quiason. The last volume alone is all of 435 pages. All three volumes are huge and hardbound, classically gilt-edged, and fit into a sturdy slip case. Justice Artemio V. Panganiban writes in his Prologue to the final volume: "Indeed, this three-volume publication of the Supreme Court�s obra maestra during the past 100 years demonstrates that far from being �bores,� not only are court judgments written in inspired and readable prose; they are also veritable sources of history, philosophy and literature. "Truly, the excerpts contained in this trilogy capture the transformation of the Supreme Court from a passive, laid-back, generally cautious and conservative evaluator of past dramas to a proactive, interacting and courageous mover and moulder of current and future events. In both roles, it explains itself in elegant, spirited prose, which would pass for literature of the era." Conceived and prepared by the Legal Write group led by project director Rogelio S. Pantaleon and development editor Monina Allarey Mercado, this monumental trilogy truly lays claim to being a collector�s edition. 2. Monumental too is the recently released U.P. Diksiyonaryo Filipino, by the University of the Philippines Sentro ng Wikang Filipino in cooperation with Anvil Publishing, Inc., with Virgilio S. Almario as editor-in-chief. Billed as the first intellectual dictionary in Filipino, with over 100,000 entries and running a thousand pages, in hardbound and softbound editions, it aims to expand the use of Filipino in academic pursuits. Included are numerous entries from Philippine languages other than Tagalog, as well as technical words of foreign provenance. Prepared over the past five years by dedicated Filipinists that included a group of editors, assistant editors, researchers, and a score of language advisors and consultants, the book is seen as a transitional project that stabilizes, if temporarily, the thorny issue of Filipino orthography. Words that have long been deemed accepted in the language, say, "carbon dioxide" from English, are included and spelled as is, unless variants also exist, as in the case of "sandwich" and "sanwits." Filipinized forms, if any, are thus incorporated, subject to further changes in spelling. But borrowed words are given due credit, in their full foreign flavor. Ten thousand copies make up its breakthrough of a first print run, and we understand that orders are fast coming in, largely from the academic community. A couple of coffeetable books expectedly came out to commemorate and celebrate "Edsa Dos." We have to cite both as meaningful additions to our contemporary historical literature. 3. People Power 2: Lessons & Hopes, edited by Thelma Sioson San Juan (ABS-CBN Publishing). 250 pages, with full-color photography and clean, commendable design. Intro by Vergel Santos. Features thematic essays by notable columnists, including Dean Jorge Bocobo, Calixto Chikiamco, Jose Dalisay Jr., Glenda M. Gloria, Carolina G. Hernandez, Solita Monsod, Luis V. Teodoro, Ramon Villegas, Peachy Yamsuan, Jessica Zafra and Joselito Zulueta. 4. EDSA 2: A Nation in Revolt, by AsiaPix/Anvil, is billed as "a photographic journal." The brief text on "The Unmaking of a President" is by Sheila S. Coronel. Our top photo-journalists are represented in this 232-page softcover book that serves as a superb photo documentation of the spectacular events that unmade rogue leadership. See Miriam in all her finger-pointing fury. See Erap as a historic mug shot in the Epilogue, which also manages to include scenes from the May Day Mendiola revolt of the jologs. 5. Paragons: 23 CEOs on Corporate Ethics, published by the FINEX Ethics Committee, designed by Studio 5, may have been the best "business" book of the year. 6. Pinoy Pop Culture by Gilda Cordero Fernando and M.G. Chavez, published by Bench, is an eye-popping, razzle-dazzle, soul-satisfying, phenomenological documentation of what clicks for Pinoys, as much as what makes Pinoy click. Can Tita Gilda ever fail? A thousand times, "Not!" 7. Eros Pinoy: An Anthology of Contemporary Erotica in Philippine Art & Poetry, from Anvil. Excellent design by RayVi Sunico. Elegant. Sensuous. Follow now what to our mind were the most notable poetry titles released in 2001. 8. The Trilogy of Saint Lazarus by Cirilo F. Bautista (DLSU Press). The epic product of more than 30 years of dedication to the large idea and the long line. We reviewed this book in our April 16 column. 9. A Makeshift Sun: Stories and Poems by Gémino H. Abad (U.P. Press). 35 new poems by the master poet and literary critic are supplemented by five new fiction pieces that display a range of concerns and consummate technique. Must reading, especially for the young poet seeking a workshop fellowship. 10. Karikatura at Iba Pang Kontrabanda by Teo Antonio (UST Publishing House). The ninth collection by a master poet in Filipino. A wondrous read, even if the poems are all set in itals. 11. Morpo by Allan Popa, published by Collective Axis design. An excellent follow-up to the young poet�s first collection Hunos, which we�ve reviewed in this space. Popa promises to be the best, er, most charming, of our new generation of poets in Filipino. 12. Tracks Without Giants: Verse and Remembrance by Ramil Digal Gulle (UST Publishing House). The Palanca poetry prize-winner dedicates his first solo collection to the Thomasian Writers Guild, which he headed in the early �90s. Gulle has developed to be a very sexy poet indeed. 13. Marginal Annotations and Other Poems by Edith L. Tiempo (Giraffe Books). The latest collection by our only female National Artist for Literature. Masterful. 40 new poems, with an Intro by Ophelia A. Dimalanta. 14. About My Garden by Ernesto Superal Yee (Giraffe Books). Exquisite verse from a Dumaguete lawyer slash concert pianist slash gardener. Reviewed in our Oct. 22 column. 15. Beauty for Ashes: Remembering Maningning, edited by Mario Ignacio Miclat and Romulo P. Baquiran (Anvil). 34 poets and writers pay tribute to the memory of a wonderfully gifted child, the poet and artist Maningning Miclat. Reviewed in our Nov. 12 column. The rest of our choices comprise a novel, a short story collection, and several non-fiction titles. 16. Ben Singkol by F. Sionil Jose, our most dedicated craftsman among our living National Artists for Literature. This novel, his latest, has been hailed by the distinguished critic Dr. Isagani Cruz as Frankie�s best thus far. And we believe him. 17. Suite Bergamasque: The Boulevard Stories by Bobby Flores-Villasis (Giraffe Books). The most outstanding collection of short fiction published this year. Reviewed in our October 22 column. 18. Dreamweavers by Ma. Elena P. Paterno et al (Bookmark, Inc.). Unarguably the best art coffeetable book of the year, on the T�nalak weaving of the T�boli. 19. Letras y Figuras: Business in Culture, Culture in Business by Jaime C. Laya (Anvil). Cogent essays collected over a span of two decades of government service as a business and cultural manager. The final essay, on the interface between culture and development, is particularly enlightening. 20. Little Lessons, Little Lectures by Leoncio P. Deriada (Seguiban Printers and Publishing House, Iloilo City). This utterly charming, little "sleeper" offers valuable lessons on correct English usage. We hope to review it in full in a future column. 21. Trial of the Century: The Impeachment of Philippine President Joseph E. Estrada by Earl K. Wilkinson, edited by Alan C. Atkins (Book of Dreams Verlag, Germany). Although printed in Singapore, this book we make an exception of, because its publisher is also based in Angeles, Pampanga. The author, who religiously attended the impeachment hearings, provides a Filipino-foreign viewpoint in documenting Erap�s downfall. Wilkinson�s familiarity with the Philippines makes him a valid expert in illustrating why corruption is so deeply rooted here. He closes with a final chapter titled "Who is to blame?" Guess who. 22. The Mad Tea Party: The Pleasures of Taste by Clinton Palanca (Black Book). Hands down, this year�s best collection of essays, as elegantly and charmingly served by a literary and culinary mad hatter. 23. Visita Iglesia Bohol: A Guide to Historic Churches by Regalado Trota Jose (NCCA). A wonderful guidebook to undoubtedly the most charming and culturally rewarding among our 7,000 islands. Superbly designed by Tina P. Colayco, edited by Ramon N. Villegas. A great read, too. F. SIONIL JOSE : National Artist for Literature, Foremost Novelist. Along the stretch of Padre Faura street in Ermita, tucked between a restaurant and a run-down building, you will find the Solidaridad Bookshop. Owned and managed by National Artist F. Sionil Jose, considered the foremost Filipino novelist in English, this unpretentious place has been called, time and again, "the best little bookstore in Asia." I stumbled onto Solidaridad by accident. It was during my freshman year in college when I first discovered this gem, but I did not yet realize its worth then. I remember being disappointed during that first visit upon discovering that it does not carry the usual array of fiction novels found in other bookstores. Subsequent visits and a widening of my literary fare, however, soon convinced me of the rarity of such a place. The place seems like one of those ordinary bookshops you see along the alleys of Manila, though this one was brighter and cleaner. But appearance does deceive, as the shop's small interior and almost spartan design does not tell its role, as the Philippine Daily Inquirer put it, as a "cultural beehive where artists and writers gather to discuss literary, artistic, social, and political currents." Even the simple sign outside does not herald the fact that it has been graced by numerous writers from here and abroad. But all one has to do to see the evidence is to browse through their collection of foreign and local books. From history, economy, to arts and sociology to religion and of course, literature, the shop more than lives up to its reputation. Most prominent are Sionil Jose's collection of fiction. They have the original Rosales saga in five books and the condensed The Samsons. Ermita goes for 250 Philippine pesos (US$50 at Php50=$1) and the The Tree, the shortest among the 5 Rosales books, goes for Php95. Fairly affordable prices for Filipino literature such as these. Also available among the shop's numerous collection of Filipino literature are Bamboo Dancers (NVM Gonzales) and Nick Joaquin's Manila, My Manila. There are poems by Cirilo F. Bautista and a collection of short stories by Edilberto K. Tiempo. A collection of Palanca awardees in the 1990s and a collection of Filipino folktales are also available. But literature is not the only selling point of the bookshop, as history also occupies its shelves. Noticeable are Renato Constantino's works and the different books about Joseph Estrada's downfall. Contemporary Filipino works are also included in their collection. Eros Pinoy, An Anthology on Contemporary Erotica in Philippine Art and Poetry (edited by Yuson, Cabrera and Aviado) tries to define eroticism, Filipino style through poems, stories and visual images made by the country's top writers and artists. Even Gary Lising's books are available. Craft books, cook books and along with coffee table books of the visual arts can also be found here. Even new-age books are available. Merde, Excursions in Scientific, Cultural and Socio Historical Coprology by Ralph A. Lewin discusses the broad subject of fecal matter (I kid you not!!). Also available are books from China, Japan and the Southeast Asia. Works of writers like Anna Kavan, Vladimir Nabokov (Lolita, Speak Memory), James Joyce and Bernard Malamud can also be bought at decent prices. There are also different newspapers and magazines available. The only concession to ordinariness is their sparse collection of Signet Classics and books from authors such as Tami Hoag and Robert Ludlum, which can be bought at any other bookstore. I think the best thing about Solidaridad is the importance it gives to Filipino writers and their works. It has the largest display of Philippine books anywhere in the Philippines. It introduced me to the treasure that is Filipino literature. It made me realize how the works of Filipino writers and artists are at par with their foreign counterparts. This is where I broadened my horizons to include Filipino folktales and lore. My discovery of Sionil Jose's Rosales saga alone is enough reason for me to recommend the place to everyone. So if you are looking for an alternative to Powerbooks and National Bookstore, try visiting this little corner of Manila where literary treasures await you. THE ANTHOLOGIZED CHATELAINE.

Mga Mambabasa ng Panitikan sa Wikang Pilipino--Dito Tayo. korek! sumasang-ayon ako dyan. nabasa ko na ang sa mga kuko ng liwanag . napakaganda nga talaga ng istorya. hindi naman kailangang isantabi, kaso kung iisipin natin, hindi naman sa pag-ibig nauuhaw ang lipunan natin. kaya lang, di rin naman kakagatin ng masa ang mga akda kung di mo ibibigay sa kanila ang nais nilang genre. kasalukuyan ko pong binasa ang tutubi, tutubi wag kang magpahuli sa mga mamang salbahe. ngunit ang nasa libro ko'y mayroong buod lamang. nakakahumaling basahin, ngunit nakakabitin din dahil buod nga lang. alam niyo ba kung ilang kabanata mayroon ito? 17 chapters ang Tutubi, Tutubi. Hardcore 'yang si Ser Jun. Nakasama siya sa isang pambansang workshop at dalawang beses ko siyang naging propesor (masokista ako). Binanatan ako nang binanatan ng masasakit na salita. Pero labs na labs ko 'yan. Mahusay din ang mag-inang Sicat. sang-ayon ako sa mag-inang sicat. naging guro ko si ma'am luna at ang dami kong natutuhan sa kanya. mga 3 beses ko siyang naging guro at sa bawat klase palaging may bago akong insight na nakukuha sa kanya. yung nanay niyang si ellen sicat magaling din sa short story. controlled na controlled ang kanyang pagkukuwento then mararamdaman mo na lang yung kirot habang binabasa. katulad yan ng experience ko ng pagbabasa ng mga kuwento nila raymond carver at amy hempel. paborito ko rin si eli guieb! emotional ang bawat sinusulat niyang short stories. panalong-panalo yung koleksyon niya ng mga maikling kuwento. Sana marami pang mag mungkahi ng mga panibagong lathalang mga librong gawa ng mga pilipinong manunulat. Im currently reading Alimuom by Eileen Sicat. Medyo matalagal na din na hindi ako nakakabasa ng libro sa wikang Pilipino. Admittedly nahihirapan akong intindihin some of the words. Not that im proud of it. Sa totoo lang nakakahiyang aminin na sarili kong linguahe hindi ko maintindihan. :( Maybe this is the time to start. Maraming magagandang libro na akda ng mga Pilipinong manunulat. Sana most of us would have time to appreciate this as well. "Nakakapanghinayang na masyado itong si Edgardo Reyes. Ang laki sana ng potensiyal niya para maging isang henyong pampanitikan. Nakita ito sa kanyang mga kuwento sa Mga Agos sa Disyerto at lalo na sa Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag . Sayang, sayang." Totoo nakakapanghinayang - pero masisisi ba natin ang tao kung magsusulat ng romance novels dahil sa economic condition nito? at dapat ba talagang isantabi ang mga romance novels? hindi naman ako masyadong disappointed kay reyes. mahusay pa rin sya, at kahit ba sumulat siya ng romance novels, hindi maitatangging may "kagat" pa rin ang mga gawa nya. hehe. nabasa nyo ba yung "diwalwal" niya? nalathala nung 2009. diwalwal means "lawit dila". tungkol sa isang minahan sa mindanao, kung saan maraming dumarayo para kumita ng pera at magbuwis ng buhay. nice and sweet. ano namang masasabi nyo sa "huling dalagang bukid" ni jun cruz reyes? Panitikang Pilipino sana ipamulat sa marami pang batang Pilipino. Mula sa kwentong pambatang pampanitikan nina Biag ni Lam-ang, Mga Alamat, Kwento ng kabayanihan at mga kwento sa Liwayway Magazine. Lahat ng ito ay pinamulat sa akin ng aking ina, kahit na sa malayo na kami halos lumaki, kung di niyo naitatanong di sa pagyayabang ang aking Ina ay sugo ng Literatura kaya kahit hindi namin natutunan ang mga kwentong yaon sa silid aralan naisapuso naman namin sa pamamagitan ng aking Ina. Mga Panitikang mas nauna pa niyang ikwento bago ang pakikipagsapalaran ni Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel at ni Cinderella bago nakita ang Prince nila at nag live happily ever after. Sorry, kakamiss mag tagalog. Hindi ko malilimutan ang Visitation of the Gods ni Gilda Cordero Fernando, dahil pinapakita nito ang kahinaan ng pampublikong paaralan. Nakakatawa lang nag realisasyon pagkatapos mong mabasa, dahik walang pinagbago ang sistema, na experience ko yan first hand noong may dinaluhan kaming isang paaralan sa kamaynilaan noong nakaraang taon. Ang pinaka gusto ko talaga sa lahat ng mga nabasa ko sa munting library ng aking Ina, ay yung mga akda ni Jose Garcia Villa , who can forget Footnote to Youth. kung marami lang sana ang nakabasa noon di na kailangan ng Pilipinas ang RH Bill! . and of course, ang nobelang pinaka proud and aking ina sa kadahilanang siya any may dugong Ilongga " Without seeing the Dawn" ni Teban/Stevan Javellana na kaunaunahang post war novel sa Ingles na pinatibay pa nina Nick Joaquin at Bienvenido Santos at marami pang iba. - Ganda ng Literature natin, sana may mga program ang Philippine government to encourage reading among children. Madami talaga silang matututunan sa libro. Panitikang Pilipino sana ipamulat sa marami pang batang Pilipino. Mula sa kwentong pambatang pampanitikan nina Biag ni Lam-ang, Mga Alamat, Kwento ng kabayanihan at mga kwento sa Liwayway Magazine. Lahat ng ito ay pinamulat sa akin ng aking ina, kahit na sa malayo na kami halos lumaki, kung di niyo naitatanong di sa pagyayabang ang aking Ina ay sugo ng Literatura kaya kahit hindi namin natutunan ang mga kwentong yaon sa silid aralan naisapuso naman namin sa pamamagitan ng aking Ina. Mga Panitikang mas nauna pa niyang ikwento bago ang pakikipagsapalaran ni Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel at ni Cinderella bago nakita ang Prince nila at nag live happily ever after. Sorry, kakamiss mag tagalog. Hindi ko malilimutan ang Visitation of the Gods ni Gilda Cordero Fernando, dahil pinapakita nito ang kahinaan ng pampublikong paaralan. Nakakatawa lang nag realisasyon pagkatapos mong mabasa, dahik walang pinagbago ang sistema, na experience ko yan first hand noong may dinaluhan kaming isang paaralan sa kamaynilaan noong nakaraang taon. Ang pinaka gusto ko talaga sa lahat ng mga nabasa ko sa munting library ng aking Ina, ay yung mga akda ni Jose Garcia Villa , who can forget Footnote to Youth. kung marami lang sana ang nakabasa noon di na kailangan ng Pilipinas ang RH Bill! . and of course, ang nobelang pinaka proud and aking ina sa kadahilanang siya any may dugong Ilongga " Without seeing the Dawn" ni Teban/Stevan Javellana na kaunaunahang post war novel sa Ingles na pinatibay pa nina Nick Joaquin at Bienvenido Santos at marami pang iba. - Ganda ng Literature natin, sana may mga program ang Philippine government to encourage reading among children. Madami talaga silang matututunan sa libro. Maraming salamat meron pa rin mangilan ngilan sa ating nag bibigay pa din ng oras sa pagbabasa ng mga librong akda ng mga Pilipino. Sa totoo lang nakaka gulat sa henerasyon ngayon na wala na silang alam sa kahit anu mang panitikan na natutunan natin nun bata pa tayo. Kahit simpleng mga alamat ng mga gulay at prutas ni hindi na yata naikukwento sa mga kabataan ngayon. Yung mga pinag mulang mga kwento tungkol sa mga lugar dito sa Pilipinas katulad ng Alamat ni Maria Makiling, Bernardo Carpio, etc etc. Pinaka paborito ko yung kwento na kung bakit mer buwan at me mga bituwin sa langit. Yung nakasabit yung hikaw at suklay na sya naman naging buwan at mga bituwin. Kaya ako, I promised myself that I would tell these tales to my children in the future. :love: Wow guys natuwa naman ako kasi nakakita ako ng 100 Kontemporaryong Filipinong aklat na dapat nating basahin bago tayo kunun ni Lord.

I promise na unahin kong basahin tong mga to bago yung ibang english books ko. hindi naman ako masyadong disappointed kay reyes. mahusay pa rin sya, at kahit ba sumulat siya ng romance novels, hindi maitatangging may "kagat" pa rin ang mga gawa nya. hehe. nabasa nyo ba yung "diwalwal" niya? nalathala nung 2009. diwalwal means "lawit dila". tungkol sa isang minahan sa mindanao, kung saan maraming dumarayo para kumita ng pera at magbuwis ng buhay. nice and sweet. ano namang masasabi nyo sa "huling dalagang bukid" ni jun cruz reyes? tanda na siguro ng pagiging mapangahas ng mga nobelista sa Filipino ang nobelang ito ni jun cruz reyes. alanganing nobela, alanganing memoir pero alam mo ang patutunguhan ng kanyang ipinupunto kahit paminsan-minsan paulit-ulit ang gusto niyang sabihin. dahil ganun ang alaala at pag-alaala. in short, nahuhusayan ako sa nobelang ito ni ser jun. meta-fiction kung meta-fiction. maganda rin daw yung nobela ni alvin yapan na lumabas sa tapat journal ni egay samar. and speaking of which, may lalabas na isyu at si german gervacio yung nobela na na-feature. isa rin sila sa mga kontemporaryong manunulat/nobelista ang inaabangan ko ngayon. sana si rolando tolentino gumawa rin ng nobela.
