At 81 years old OMLBy Rafael M. Alunan III conquers Mt. Kinabalu IT was another dream come true for Oscar M. Lopez (OML). Making things happen is in his genes. The seed took root years ago from a picture he saw of Mt. Kinabalu in Sabah, Borneo. It took shape as he was conquering the tallest peaks of Luzon (Mt. Pulag), Visayas (Mt. Kanlaon) and Mindanao (Mt. Apo). OML inspired those who heard of him on the slopes and went out of their way to shake his hand. “So, you heard of an 81-year-old loose on the mountain?” he would quip. He led 23 other men and women of the Lopez family, Lopez Group and First Philippine Mt. Everest Team through five grueling days on the trail, around seven hours daily on the go, to climb and descend from Sabah’s rooftop. Even as the air thinned and the climb got more arduous, his limitless supply of adrenaline and chutzpah paved the way. Getting to Kinabalu took years through a long and winding road. Cresting the country’s tallest peaks required numerous training climbs and country treks to test endurance, strength, stamina and will power.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This Chapter Presents Background of Study, Research Problems, Research Objectives, Significance Of
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter presents background of study, research problems, research objectives, significance of the study and definition of key terms. 1.1 Background of the Study Deixis is a theory that has been used to analyze implicit meaning of pronouns in utterances. Commonly, researchers analyze deixis in some literary works such as novel, poetry, and movie script or articles in newspapers, magazine, and many more. This study investigates person deixis which are used by 5 Seconds of Summer‟s Michael Clifford and The Vamps‟ Bradley Simpson on their official twitter accounts. The writer focuses on three problems: person deixis which is mostly used in the data, the reference of the person deixis used, and the similarities and differences of person deixis used from both twitter accounts. According to Meriam-Webster Dictionary, deixis is “the pointing or specifying function of some words (as definite articles and demonstrative pronouns) whose denotation changes from one discourse to another”. (Retrieved from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pragmatics?s=t). In Cognitive Anthropology, Levinson (1995: 10) states “Deixis is an important field studied in pragmatics, semantics and linguistics. Deixis refers to the phenomenon wherein understanding the meaning of certain words and phrases in an 1 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 2 utterance requires contextual information. Words or phrases that require contextual information to convey any meaning are deictic”; and furthermore “Deixis concerns the ways in which languages encode…features of the context of utterance…and thus also concerns ways in which the interpretation of utterance/es depends on the analysis of that context of utterance.” (Levinson: 1995).

  • SARE, Vol. 58, Issue 1 | 2021
    SARE, Vol. 58, Issue 1 | 2021 Making Space for Myth: Worldbuilding and Interconnected Narratives in Mythspace Francis Paolo Quina University of the Philippines-Diliman, Quezon City, the Philippines Abstract The comics medium has long proven to be fertile ground for worldbuilding, spawning not only imaginary worlds but multiverses that have become international transmedial franchises. In the Philippines, komiks (as it is called locally) has provided the Filipino popular imagination with worlds populated by superheroes, super spies, supernatural detectives, and creatures from different Philippine mythologies. The komiks series Mythspace, written by Paolo Chikiamco and illustrated by several artist-collaborators, takes the latter concept, and launches it into outer space. Classified by its own writer as a “Filipino space opera” consisting of six loosely interconnected stories, Mythspace presents a storyworld where the creatures of Philippine lower mythologies are based on various alien species that visited the Philippines long ago. The article will examine the use of interconnected narratives as a strategy for worldbuilding in Mythspace. Drawing from both subcreation and comic studies, this article posits that interconnected narratives is a worldbuilding technique particularly well-suited to comics, and that the collaborative nature of the medium allows for a diversity of genres and visual styles that can be used by future komiks creators to develop more expansive storyworlds. Keywords: comics studies, subcreation studies, storyworlds, Mythspace, the Philippines The comics medium has long proven to be fertile ground for worldbuilding. It has spawned not only storyworlds in the pages of comic books and graphic novels but given birth to multiverses of storytelling across several media.
