    Lesson 2 Week 3

    Poetry in the Philippines has indeed come a long way — evolving and
    taking on dramatic turns as it journeys with history — from the ancient
    times, the monarchic rule of Spain, U.S. colonialism, the birth of the
    Republic, martial law, to Edsa and present. Unfortunately, there are now
    fewer avenues for poets to present their works (although there are still
    poetry readings), with prose writers dominating the market. Gone, too, are
    the days when poetry was a regular reading fare, published in regional
    magazines like Liwayway and Bannawag, although a number of exemplary
    works in the vernacular have managed to land in the mainstream. But what‘s
    really popular or what sells today is lyric poetry (read: Parokya ni Edgar,
    Brownman Revival, Eraserheads etc.). These days, poets — especially the
    younger ones — still tend to write about a variety of things, from urban
    concerns to romance to gender issues. But in the end, whatever one may
    write about, in whatever theme or format it may take, the poem, to borrow
    the words of National Artist for Literature Edith L. Tiempo, ―thus liberated‖
    remains ―firmly, undeniably poetry.‖

    Students are given a the chance to use their name, which they must write
    vertically down the left-hand side of the page. Starting each line with the letters
    that spell out the person's name, students must write one word per line so that
    by the end of the line, a message about the person is revealed.
    Example:
    ANNE
    Always
    Neat
    Never
    Enthusiastic
    Remember: Make sure that the name given is true and that is tells something
    about you as a person. (If you need more space for the letters of the name, you
    may use the extra space given.
    Tagalog Literature
    Tagalog Literature Tagalog Literature is the literature used in most parts of Luzon.
    Those who use this type of literature are coming from Southern Luzon, Central Luzon and
    Metro Manila or NCR. Among the Southern Tagalog provinces are Cavite, Batangas, Laguna,
    Quezon, Aurora, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Palawan and some
    towns of Rizal province. In Central Luzon, there are three provinces where Tagalog is
    predominantly used and these are the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Bataan and Bulacan. Metro
    Manila is comprised of cities composing the national capital region namely Manila, Quezon
    City, Pasay City, Caloocan City, Mandaluyong City, Pasig City, Marikina City, Muntinlupa
    City and suburban towns of Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela, Pateros and Taguig. Some parts
    of the provinces that are not originally Tagalog cannot escape the onslaught of Tagalog
    language and culture, like some parts of the Bicol region and Pampanga. Tagalog region is
    the birthplace of a rich tradition of Philippine culture in language, politics, economy and
    literature. Considering this rich and envigorating cultural matrix, it is not surprising that it
    is the Tagalog region that was destined to be the birthplace of historic men in Philippine
    politics, culture and literature that includes Francisco Balagtas Baltazar, Jose Rizal, Andres
    Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini, Emilio Jacinto, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Jose P. Laurel, Claro M.
    Recto, Amado V. Hernandez, Lope K. Santos, Lazaro Francisco, Faustino Aguilar, Jose
    Corazon de Jesus, Alejandro Abadilla, Modesto de Castro.
    The literary tradition in the Tagalog regions is specially outstanding in the field of oral
    literature like bugtong (riddle), proverbs, and native songs. These oral literatures are always in
    poetic forms, usually seven-syllabic rhymes, so Asian in form and perspective.
    At present, the Tagalog Literature is a blending of the elements of Spanish, American and
    Filipino culture, sometimes with one of them predominant but never alone. So, when we speak
    of the soul of the Tagalog literature today, we speak of the harmonious blending of the native
    and foreign elements: these make up the present day Tagalog literature.
    ACTIVITY 3 How well do you know the Tagalog region? Match the ideas, names or things that

    One type of poetry that has a wide collection and samples
    in the Philippines is the narrative poetry. When the writer uses
    the narrative style, he basically answers the question, ―what
    happened then?
    • Narrative poetry tells a story. Its main purpose is to entertain
    through story telling. Example: Ballad-tells a story of a
    particular time and place, usually over many verses.
    An example of a narrative poem made by a National Artist
    for Literature is ―Mariang Sinukuan‖ by Virgilio Senadren-
    Almario aka Rio Alma. One of the most notable Filipino writer is
    Virgilio Almario aka Rio Alma. He is a National Artist for
    Literature and has won several awards for his works.
    Rio Alma came from a family of peasant farmers in the
    province of Bulacan, near Manila. His collection of criticism Ang
    Makata sa Panahon ng Makina (The Poet in the Age of Machines)
    is one of the founding works of modernist criticism in Tagalog.
    Professor Emeritus in the Department of Filipino and Philippine
    Literature, he is well known as a scholar in the national
    language and a promoter of literature in it. His poetry covers a
    broad range of forms, and is often exuberant in expression and
    passionate in its sympathy for the poor and the working class.
    His earlier works ranged from expansive free verse to sonnets,
    but his more recent work emphasizes formal convention. He
    founded the Children‘s Communication Center (publisher of
    Adarna Books), conducts the long-running poetry clinic,
    Linangan sa Imahen, Retorika, at Arte (Lira), has been executive
    director of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts
    (NCCA), and is currently dean of the college of liberal arts at
    UP. He was conferred the Order of National Artist for Literature
    in 2003.
    In ―Typhoons,‖ (2005) he tells of the ―perennial tempests‖ that visit the land, as he finds
    himself waking with full amazement to be greeted by clear daylight with each new
    morning.

    Figure of Speech is a literary device used as a word or phrase that has a


    meaning that may be different than its literal meaning. It adds color and
    interest, and awakens the imagination.

    Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing, an idea or an

    animal is given human attributes. The non-human objects are portrayed in

    such a way that we feel they have the ability to act like human beings.
    Typhoons (An Excerpt)
    Rio Alma
    (translated by Marne Kilates)

    The typhoons‘ episodes of terror are yearly:


    Berserk wind and shattered glass
    Streaming from the mouths of a thousand serpents,
    Smoke of dark crystal billowing
    From beyond the ancient shoulders of the bristling land.
    The heavens crawl with crackling electricity And the
    verdicts of thunder are without forgiveness or pity.
    There were nights
    When we were children watching
    And listening for the keening And whiplash of wet, demented monsters
    Turning wildly they tore every roof,
    They toppled and smashed every wall and post;
    The drains and canals choked,
    The distressed bamboo begged for mercy.
    We shut our eyes
    At the final rumbling rape
    Of our prostrate crops, the helpless land.
    Tightly we shut our eyes,
    Tightly, ever tightly…
    Only to wonder in the morning
    What power of sun expunged
    And expelled these armies of the night.
