Ang Lumbay ng Dila (chap 01-12).indd i 1/27/2010 5:28:53 PM Ang akdang ito ay isang likhang-isip. Anumang pagkakatulad sa historikal na mga pangyayari ay hindi kailangang ituring na totoo. Ang Lumbay ng Dila (chap 01-12).indd ii 1/27/2010 5:29:01 PM “Sa hanay ng mga kabataang manunulat, isa sa lalo't higit na namumukod-tangi si Genevieve Asenjo saksi ang kanyang marami nang mambabasa, gayundin ang marami nang gantimpala sa panulat na kanyang natamo. Sapol ng kanyang panitik ang mga anyo ng tula at maikling kuwento, at sa pinakahuli ay ang nobela (Lumbay ng Dila) na ang mga nilalaman ay tumutuhog sa mga karanasan at buhay-buhay na babae/lalaki, gilid- gilid/sentro, rural/urban, personal/pulitikal, nasyonal/ global—na sa pangunahin ay kanyang itinatampok sa pamamagitan ng mga babaeng persona sa kanyang mga tula, ng mga pangunahing babaeng tauhan sa kanyang maiikling kuwento lalo pa nga ba sa kanyang pinakahuling akdang Lumbay ng Dila. Dapat ding bigyang-diin ang partikular, naiiba, at espesyal na kontribusyon ni Asenjo sa larangan ng wika. Isang misyon at adbokasi na ni Asenjo na buong pagmamahal at pagmamalaking isentro ng kanyang panitik ang kanyang kinamulatang wika sa Visaya (Kinaray-a), gayundin ang barayting wikang Kinaray-a- Filipino.” —Fanny A. Garcia Ang Lumbay ng Dila (chap 01-12).indd iii 1/27/2010 5:29:01 PM “Kung tutuusin, huling-huli na itong nobelang Lumbay ng Dila ni Genevieve L. Asenjo kung konteksto ng Maragtas ang pag-uusapan. Ayon kasi sa folk history na ito tungkol sa sampung datu mula sa Borneo na dumating sa Panay noong ika-13 siglo, sa Antique— partikular sa tabing-ilog ng Malandog sa bayan ng Hamtic ngayon—itinatag ang unang barangay sa Filipinas. Ngayon lamang ang kasadya ko pagkabasa nitong maanyag at matapang na nobela.” — John Iremil E. Teodoro “Although Lumbay ng Dila is Asenjo's fi rst novel, her work shows that she already has mastery of the form as can be seen in the colorful and enduring story; tight structure and plot; interesting, believable, and vivid characterization; clearly delineated setting; timely and timeless ideas; appropriate choice and handling of point of view; and fresh and eff ective use of language. If Asenjo's purpose in writing her novel is to entertain readers, I think she is able to accomplish this. Like her earlier readers, I also enjoyed reading her novel thoroughly.” — Gerardo Z.

Ang Lumbay ng Dila (chap 01-12).indd viii 1/27/2010 5:29:02 PM 1 ANGHALINGTAPAT ngayon. Kalagitnaan ng Hunyo. Taong 2007. Nasa dibdib niya ang T alinsangan ng tag-init, nasa talampakan ang lamig ng tag-ulan. Nakatayo siya—si Sadyah Zapanta Lopez—sa isang burol sa kanilang baryo, ang Barasanan, sa bayan ng Dao. Nasa dulong timog ito ng Antique, isang probinsya sa Panay na ayon sa isang paring musikero nito, ang lugar kung saan nagtatagpo ang dagat at bundok. Lupa at dagat sa pinggan naman ito para sa isa niyang babaeng makata na kasalukuyang nasa Amerika. Sinuklay niya ng mga daliri ang lampas-balikat na buhok. Inamoy ang bango nito. Isang pag-aanyaya sa banal sa kanyang paligid na dumapo sa kanyang ulo. Ang Lumbay ng Dila (chap 01-12).indd 1 1/27/2010 5:29:02 PM Genevieve L. Asenjo Katulad kaninang umaga. Umaasu-aso ang kanin na sinandomeng. Nakalapag ito sa mesa sa kanyang gilid katabi ang pinggan ng piniritong danggit, nilagang itlog, tortang talong. Nagbu-brew sa French Press ng Starbucks ang House Blend. Sa kanyang laptop, nagsisimulang bumukas sa Capricorn ang www.horoscope.com. Naririnig na niya ang “Love’s Divine” ni Seal sa video na pinadala sa kanya ni Priya sa YouTube. Alaala ng Pagkabasa. Ito ang pamagat ng kanyang blog sa Multiply. Naisulat niya ang ganito: Isang tubig ang alaala na humahagunos sa tamang panahon. Katulad ngayong umuulan at gusto kong maniwala sa muling pagkaluntian ng bukid. Hindi niya ito naipagpatuloy. Tumunog ang kanyang cellphone. Isang breaking news ang mensahe na kaagad din narinig ng buong baryo sa Bombo Radyo. Ito rin ang bumati sa kanya sa Inquirer7.net. at Philstar.com. Nasisiguro niyang ito rin ang ibinabalita sa mga istasyon ng TV. Marahil may nakatatak pang eksklusibo. Former Antique Assemblyman Marcelo N. Lopez, acquitted after 21 years of trial! Nakilala niya ang pagkamangha, higit kaysa pagkabigla, na lumukob sa kanya. May anyo ng kaligtasan. 2 Ang Lumbay ng Dila (chap 01-12).indd 2 1/27/2010 5:29:02 PM 2 IYA SI SADYAH ZAPANTA LOPEZ. Apat na taon ang nakararaan, nauso ang Friendster. S Sumali siya at naitatak niya sa bahaging Who Do You Want To Meet ang magkatambal niyang pagnanasa: My grandfather Marcelo Nones Lopez and my mother Teresa Checa Zapanta-Lopez. Natunaw ang kanyang akala na naiwan niya ito sa paliku-likong kalsada ng Antique nang makatapos sa kolehiyo sa University of the Philippines Visayas sa Miag-ao. Naitapon maging ang huling hibla ng lungkot nito sa daungan ng Iloilo nang makasakay siya sa barko patungong Manila. Nabuwag ng font na Garamond ang kanyang hiya. Napalitan ng tapang ng Bold at bighani ng Italics ang kanyang panliliit. Umangkin ng tatag ng karaniwang 12 font size ang kanyang pag-aalinlangan. Na para bang Ang Lumbay ng Dila (chap 01-12).indd 3 1/27/2010 5:29:02 PM Genevieve L. Asenjo ang tayo nito sa pahina ng website ay may integridad ng ganda at lakas niya ngayon sa edad na 28. Nagulantang siya. May pagkamangha. Parang tulad noong una niyang masaksihan bilang Assistant Instructor ang nagliliparan, nagkikislapan, at nakatutuliling na fl ash animation sa powerpoint presentation ng kanyang mga estudyante sa La Salle. May intensidad ng unang danas niya ng pakikipagniig sa edad na 20. Kay Stephen, ang dati niyang mangingibig na Tsinoy. Napakabilis ng mga daliri ng binata sa pag-abot-tanggal ng hook ng kanyang bra. Sa mga labi’t palad nito, nakalimutan niyang maliliit ang kanyang mga suso. Nasundan niya ang pagluslos nito ng puting briefs. Hanggang sa makawala sa mga paa nito at tuluyang humimlay sa sahig. Natulala siya sa isang napakagandang tanawin—ang bantayog sa pagitan ng mga hita ni Stephen. Hindi na niya namalayan kung sa pitaka ba o sa bulsa ng pantalon nito hinugot ang strawberry-fl avored condom. Nang lumipat ang mga bibig nito sa naglalagablab niyang kandungan, napaigtad siya’t napahiyaw, dahil para bang nag-aamoy-dila ito sa whipped cream ng café mocha. May sindak nang hapong iyon na nadaanan nila ni Ishmael, ang dati niyang nobyo na Muslim, ang pagsusunog ng mga aktibista sa mga mukha nina George Bush at Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sa harapan ng US Embassy. Animo’y nagsilundagan ang lahat ng poot mula sa mga mata at lalamunan ng mga aktibista. Mga bola ng apoy na nagpagiling-giling sa kalsada at hinabol 4 Ang Lumbay ng Dila (chap 01-12).indd 4 1/27/2010 5:29:02 PM Lumbay ng Dila sila ni Ishmael. Hanggang sa sumuot at gumapang ito sa buo niyang katawan. Naging isang higanteng virus na kumakatkat sa kanyang kalamnan at buto. Pinagtagpo niya ang mga daliri nila ni Ishmael sa pagsisitayuan ng kanyang mga balahibo. Niyanig siya ng panginginig at may lindol na dumagundong sa kanyang isipan: “Ano ang totoo, Marcelo? Ano ang totoo, Teresa?” ITO NABUO, sa kanyang buhay-pag-ibig, ang pagkamangha na naramdaman niya D kaninang umaga. Kasukob ang pinanini- walaan niya ngayon: Ang pag-ibig ay isang distansya. Sa simula, sa pagitan ng magkaharap na balkonahe nila ni Priya sa magkatambal na gusali. Ang liwanag ng ilaw ay isang bintana. Ang hangin na dumadaan ay naglalakbay mula sa isang pinto papasok sa elevator, pababa, para umakyat, sa isa pang elevator, tungo sa kabilang pinto, saan ang katok ay kapangalan ng cold shower at pillow talk ng mga libro, musika, paglalakbay. At ngayon, ang pagpapalaot nila online. Sa kanyang Filipino-English na tunog Kinaray-a. Sa Indian-infl ected English ni Priya. Sa pinagtutugma nilang oras ng Manila, Philippines, at Munich, Germany. Ang lumbay ng dila. 5 Ang Lumbay ng Dila (chap 01-12).indd 5 1/27/2010 5:29:02 PM Genevieve L.

Nick Nostitz’s chapter on the redshirt movement provides a useful summary of his views, though there are few surprises for those who follow his regular online commentary pieces on these issues. Andrew Walker’s article “Is Peasant Politics in Thailand Civil?” answers its own question in his second sentence: “No.” He goes on to provide a helpful sketch of the arguments he has made at greater length in his important 2012 book Thailand’s Political Peasants. The book concludes with two chapters ostensibly focused on crises of legitimacy. In his discussion of the bloody Southern border conflict, Marc Askew fails to engage with the arguments of those who see the decade-long violence as a legitimacy crisis for the Thai state, and omits to state his own position on this central debate. He rightly concludes that “the South is still an inse- cure place” (p. 246), but neglects to explain exactly why. Pavin Chachavalpongpun offers a final chapter on Thai-Cambodia relations, but does not add a great deal to his brilliant earlier essay on Preah Vihear as “Temple of Doom,” which remains the seminal account of that tragi-comic inter- state conflict.

Paas-Lang The Canadian Press Published Tuesday, October 22, 2019 4:54AM EDT The Liberals once more won the most seats in the House of Commons, but this time they do not have an outright majority. So what happens next? With fewer than the 170 seats needed to command the House on their own, Justin Trudeau will need the support of at least one other party to pass legislation in Parliament -- and survive a confidence vote on a speech from the throne laying out his plans for governing.Before then, Trudeau will have to deal with some of the implications of Monday's results.

  • Women in Filipino Religion-Themed Films
    Review of Women’s Studies 20 (1-2): 33-65 WOMEN IN FILIPINO RELIGION-THEMED FILMS Erika Jean Cabanawan Abstract This study looks at four Filipino films—Mga Mata ni Angelita, Himala, Ang Huling Birhen sa Lupa, Santa Santita—that are focused on the discourse of religiosity and featured a female protagonist who imbibes the image and role of a female deity. Using a feminist framework, it analyzes the subgenre’s connection and significance to the Filipino consciousness of a female God, and the imaging of the Filipino woman in the context of a hybrid religion. The study determines how religion is used in Philippine cinema, and whether or not it promotes enlightenment. The films’ heavy reference to religious and biblical images is also examined as strategies for myth-building. his study looks at the existence of Filipino films that are focused T on the discourse of religiosity, featuring a female protagonist who imbibes the image and assumes the role of a female deity. The films included are Mga Mata ni Angelita (The Eyes of Angelita, 1978, Lauro Pacheco), Himala (Miracle, 1982, Ishmael Bernal), Ang Huling Birhen sa Lupa (The Last Virgin, 2002, Joel Lamangan) and Santa Santita (Magdalena, 2004, Laurice Guillen). In the four narratives, the female protagonists eventually incur supernatural powers after a perceived apparition of the Virgin Mary or the image of the Virgin Mary, and incurring stigmata or the wounds of Christ. Using a feminist framework, this paper through textual analysis looks at the Filipino woman in this subgenre, as well as those images’ connection and significance to the Filipino consciousness of a female God.

  • Ioften Ask My Students at the Beginning of My Writing
    WHERE HAVE ALL OUR MONSTERS GONE?: Using Philippine Lower Mythology in Children’s Literature Carla M. Pacis often ask my students at the beginning of my Writing for Children class who their favorite storybook characters were when Ithey were kids. The answers are usually the same and very predictable – Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan et. al. semester upon semester. One day, however, a student from Mindanao said that her favorite characters were the creatures her mother had told her about. These creatures, she said, lived in the forests and mountains that surrounded their town. The whole class and I perked up. What were these creatures, we all wanted to know? She told us of the wak-wak that came out at night to suck the fetus from pregnant sleeping mothers or the tianak that took the form of a cute little baby but was really an ugly dwarf. Ahh, we all nodded, we had also heard of these and many other creatures. Thus ensued an entire session of remembering and recounting of fascinating creatures long forgotten and all our very own. In his book The Uses of Enchantment, Bruno Bettelheim explains the importance of monsters in fairytales and stories. He says that “the monster the child knows best and is most concerned with is the monster he feels or fears himself to be, and which also sometimes, persecutes him. By keeping this monster within the child unspoken of, hidden in his unconscious, adults prevent the child from spinning fantasies around it in the image of the fairytales he knows.

  • Philippine Folklore: Engkanto Beliefs
    PHILIPPINE FOLKLORE: ENGKANTO BELIEFS HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Philippine mythology is derived from Philippine folk literature, which is the traditional oral literature of the Filipino people. This refers to a wide range of material due to the ethnic mix of the Philippines. Each unique ethnic group has its own stories and myths to tell. While the oral and thus changeable aspect of folk literature is an important defining characteristic, much of this oral tradition had been written into a print format. University of the Philippines professor, Damiana Eugenio, classified Philippines Folk Literature into three major groups: folk narratives, folk speech, and folk songs. Folk narratives can either be in prose: the myth, the alamat (legend), and the kuwentong bayan (folktale), or in verse, as in the case of the folk epic. Folk speech includes the bugtong (riddle) and the salawikain (proverbs). Folk songs that can be sub-classified into those that tell a story (folk ballads) are a relative rarity in Philippine folk literature.1[1] Before the coming of Christianity, the people of these lands had some kind of religion. For no people however primitive is ever devoid of religion. This religion might have been animism. Like any other religion, this one was a complex of religious phenomena. It consisted of myths, legends, rituals and sacrifices, beliefs in the high gods as well as low; noble concepts and practices as well as degenerate ones; worship and adoration as well as magic and control. But these religious phenomena supplied the early peoples of this land what religion has always meant to supply: satisfaction of their existential needs.

Francis et Joachin, les deux policiers qui enquêtent sur les meurtres commis, sont loin d’imaginer que les criminels qu’ils recherchent sont déjà derrière les barreaux... Ces quatre hommes tentent de gagner leur vie quel qu’en soit le prix pour subvenir aux besoins de leurs familles. Ils vont s’affronter, pris dans une spirale infernale et piégés par une machination politique qui fera de leurs proches les premières victimes collatérales... Cette histoire est inspirée de faits réels. ERIK MATTI À PROPOS DU FILM L’idée de faire ce film m’est venue il y a une dizaine d’années, lorsqu’un chauffeur de taxi m’a raconté qu’il avait autrefois travaillé comme tueur à gages alors qu’il était en prison.
