“RAM” and “GUARDIANS” www.filipinosmakingwaves.com MARCH 2019 VOL. 8, NO. 02 TORONTO, CANADA LAUNCH OF FILIPINO HERITAGE MONTH Coming Together for a Cause By Riley Mendoza There's an inner satisfaction in seeing people coming to- gether for a cause. That those people are from the frac- tious Filipino community makes this feeling more intense. At this recent meet & greet and launching of Filipino Herit- age Month in Canada at Scarborough Civic Centre, I get the impression that the quality of guests outweighs the num- bers. The turnout was well within expectations by the organiz- ers but it's the calibre of the people who joined in that counts in having a successful first-ever celebration of Fili- pino Heritage Month across Canada starting on June 1st. Most of the guests are leaders in their own right. They are captains of fledgling industries run and owned by Canadi- ans of Filipino descent, local entrepreneurs, political lead- ers, educators, community leaders, and millennials just The federal government was represented by (L-R) MPs Shaun Chen (Scarb North), Salma Zahid (Scarb- starting to etch their mark.

  • Pakahulugan at Pahiwatig Ng Gay Language Sa Mga Piling Pelikula Ni Vice Ganda Generoso Pamittan, Jr., Chari Amado, Victoria Amante, and Feorillo P.A
    Kaloka, Keri, Bongga: Pakahulugan at Pahiwatig ng Gay Language sa mga Piling Pelikula ni Vice Ganda Generoso Pamittan, Jr., Chari Amado, Victoria Amante, and Feorillo P.A. Demeterio III Using the framework of Pragmatics and Grice’s (2012) cooperative principle and conversational maxims, this paper dissects the gay language’s contextual meanings, and effects on narrative and characterization as used in Vice Ganda’s selected hit films. This paper also scrutinizes the socio-cultural-political implications of the use of gay language as manifested in the role and image of the gay-language-speaking characters and how these might actually reflect empowerment and/or oppression of gays in a heteronormative society. Analyses indicate that while the use of gay language may not be indicative of gays’ social class or status, it reflects the experience, culture and discipline in which the gay takes part. Further, while Vice Ganda’s brand of humor and personality are still apparent and that gay language was used to induce laughter, it cannot be denied that, amidst society’s minoritization of gays, there are deeper underlying meanings and significance for such use of gay language. Keywords: Gay Language, Vice Ganda, Gay Image, Humor, Gay Character Abstrak: Gamit ang balangkas ng pragmatics at ng cooperative principle at conversational maxims ni Grice (2012), hinimay ng papel ang kontekstuwal na kahulugan at epekto sa naratibo at karakterisasyon ng gay language na ginamit sa mga piling pelikula ni Vice Ganda. Siniyasat din ng papel ang sosyo-kultural-politikal na implikasyon ng gay language na nahayag sa gampanin at imahen ng baklang nagsasalita ng gay language, at kung paano nito nasasalamin ang tunay na katayuan at kalalagyan ng bakla sa heteronormatibong lipunan.
