A TEACHER’S ROMANCE WITH LITERATURE As Professor Reuel Molina Aguila walked up the stage at this year's Palanca awards night to receive his award, his mind flashed back in 1975 when he, as a student at the Univer-sity of the Philippines, first won in the country's premier literary contest.

He won that year under the One-Act Play category. He was the first student in UP to win a Palanca award.

This time around, Aguila came up on stage to receive the distinction of Palanca Hall of Famer, for having won five first prizes in the annual Palanca Awards. Over the years, he has won as well various other prizes from Palanca.

According to Aguila, “Ang Palanca ay isang institusyon.

Para sa kabataang manunulat, tulad ko noong 1975, isang rituwal na dapat maranasan ang Palanca. Hindi ganap ang pagiging manunulat ng PAGE 3

Nangrugi ti risiris ti politika ditoy idi impakaammo ni Datu Ismael Mangudadatu, vice mayor ti Buluan, ti panggepna nga agkandidato iti kinagobernador.

Iti met biang ti administrasion, saan nga umdas a kugtaranda laeng ti Ampatuan clan a kameng ti partido Lakas-CMD, nupay dakkel ti naitulong dagiti Ampatuan idi nagtaray ni Pres.

FOREIGN WORKERS FOR THE U.S. ARE CASUALTIES TWICE OVER

SUNDAY DEC. 06, 2009 2nd Sunday of AdventPs 25:4-5, 8-9, 10, 14 To you, O Lord, I lift my soul.

1st Reading: Bar 5:1-9 Jerusalem, put off your garment of mourning and unhappiness, put on the splendor and glory of God forever.

Wrap yourself in the mantle of holiness that comes from God, put on your head the crown of glory of the Eternal One. For God will show your splendor to every being under Heaven.

He will call your name forever, “Peace in Justice” and “Glory in the Fear of the Lord.”

Rise up, Jerusalem, stand on the heights. Look towards the East and see your children gathered together from the setting of the sun to its rising, by the voice of the Holy One, rejoicing because God has remembered them.

They left you on foot, taken away by the enemy. God will lead them back, carried gloriously like royal princes.

For God has resolved to bring low every high mountain and the everlasting hills, to fill up the valleys and level out the ground, in order that Israel may walk in safety under the Glory of God. Even the forests and the fragrant trees will give shade to Israel at God’s command. For God will lead Israel with joy by the light of his Glory, escorting them with his mercy and justice.

2nd Reading: Phil 1:4-6, 8-11 When I pray for you, I pray with joy. I cannot forget all you shared with me in the service of the Gospel, from the first day until now.

Since God began such a good work in you, I am certain that he will complete it in the day of Christ Jesus.

God knows that I love you dearly with the love of Christ Jesus, and in my prayers I ask that your love may lead you each day to a deeper knowledge and clearer discernment, that you may have good criteria for everything. So you may be pure of heart and come blameless to the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of holiness that comes through Christ Jesus, for the glory and praise of God. Gospel: Lk 3:1-6 It was the fifteenth year of the rule of the Emperor Tiberius; Pontius Pilatus was governor of Judea; Herod ruled over Galilee, his brother Philip ruled over the country of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias over Abilene. Annas and Caiaphas were the High Priests at that time when the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah in the desert.

John proclaimed a baptism for repentant people to obtain forgiveness of sins and he went through the whole country bordering the Jordan River. It was just as is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah: Listen to this voice crying out in the desert: prepare the way of the Lord, make his path straight. The valleys will be filled and the mountains and hills made low. Everything crooked will be made straight and the rough paths smooth; and every mortal will see the salvation of God. Reflections The season of Advent calls us to conversion of mind and heart so that we might be more open to the presence of the Lord in our lives.

We are encouraged to turn away from sin and to leave behind anything in our lives that is contrary to the Gospel. Then are we truly free to embrace the Lord and to put our faith into action.

We are often kept from doing what is good, honorable and holy by stumbling blocks of our own making. Habits of selfishness keep us from recognizing the needs of the poor and less fortunate. Indulging ourselves in the culture of hedonism prevents us from experiencing true love and all of the fidelity, commitment and sacrifice that it requires.

“Prepare the way of the Lord, make his path straight,” John the Baptist cries. He speaks not only to the people of his day who gathered around him. He speaks to us and invites us to change our ways so that our hearts will be open to the presence of the Lord in our everyday living. (Daily Gospel 2009, CLARETIAN PUBLICATIONS)

Iniggaman ni Uncle Ladio ti imak. “Anak, ammok, maawatak ti adda a kaririknam. Uray siak, kasta met siguro ti aramidek no siak ti adda iti biangmo. Ngem uray kasano kinadakes ti amam, amamto latta. Saanmo a maiwaksi dayta a kinapudno.”

“Pinadakkeldaka a naimbag a Kristiano,” kinuna met ni Anti.

“Ammomi nga iti baet ti amin, adda pay nabatbati a sangkapirgis a panangipategmo iti amam. Dimo koma itulok a sallukobannaka ti guram iti amam. Pukawem ti gura iti barukongmo tapno sumangbay ti kappia ken natalna a nakem kenka.”

Nabayag a minatmatak dagiti tallo a tao nga ipatpategko iti biag. Naglalangoy manen ti luak ta nagasatak gayam a parsua gapu iti kaaddada a mangipatpateg kaniak.

“I-intayon...” nakunak. “Ur-urayennak ni Amang....”

Managsaggaysan ti anges ni Amang idi sumangpetkami iti ospital.

Rimmaniag ti rupa ni Manang idi makitanakami. Nakair-irut ti arakupna.

Minatmatak ti lalaki a nakaidda iti katre. Daytoy kadi ti amak nga ingget baked ti pammagina idi? Sabalin daytoy a tao. Lalaki nga in-inut nga imbual ti kinapanglaw.

Nagbingngi ti bibig ni Amang. “S-sika dayta, Melba...?” kasla adayo ti naggapuan ti timekna.

Nagtigerger ti bibigko. Diak manen malapdan dagiti luak.

(CONTINUATION) AIG recently offered a onetime payment of $22,000, Torres said. She turned it down. She hired a U.S. lawyer and is pursuing full compensation through the Labor Department’s dispute resolution system, a process that can take years.

AIG declined to comment on any individual case.

Qatar International, a logistics and support firm, did not return phone calls and emails seeking comment.

Torres used the $21,000 she received after her husband’s death to build a two-story, tworoom concrete house among tin shacks and rutted roads in a poor area of San Fernando, a provincial capital on Luzon, the Philippines’ main island.

The bottom floor houses the family business, a store crammed with sacks of rice, cases of soda and canned squid.

Gorgonia and the five children live upstairs.

Business is bad. One Decem-

ber day, Gorgonia fretted that she would not earn enough to put food on the table. One of her children hunted for snails in a ditch for dinner. Another went Christmas caroling in hopes of getting donations to buy pants for school.

“As time goes by, it gets worse and worse,” she said.

Claim goes unfiled MARCELO Salazar, a Filipino from the resort island of Cebu, was killed in Iraq in April 2005 while working as a truck driver.

He left behind his partner, Vicky Buhawe, their baby son and an unfinished house.

Buhawe has no right to benefits under the Defense Base Act because she and Salazar were not married. Their son, John Mark, now 4, is eligible for a one-time payment of about $14,000, based on his father’s wages. But Buhawe was unaware that civilians employed in the war zone were covered by insurance and never filed a claim.

There is no record that Kuwait-based El Hoss Engineering and Transport Co., Salazar’s employer, reported his death to the Labor Department.

The company did pay compensation to Salazar’s son by a different relationship, according to a Philippine government news release.

Efforts to reach El Hoss for comment were unsuccessful.

“Sometimes we go to Marcelo’s grave and we whisper, ‘How will we survive tonight?’” Buhawe said as she held John Mark on her knee.

“Tonight, I am not sure where we’re going to get dinner.”

Another Filipino, Leopoldo Soliman, took a job in a warehouse on a U.S. military base in Iraq in 2003, hoping to save enough to build a home for his wife and children in a village northeast of Manila.

He earned $9,000 a year working for Prime Projects International, a KBR subcontractor. In 2004, he was given a commendation by U.S.

soldiers for “hard work and tireless dedication.”

Then, in May 2005, a mortar shell fell near his living quarters in Balad, a military logistics hub north of Baghdad. Shrapnel blew a hole in his knee.

Prime Projects paid for his initial medical care in Iraq and the United Arab Emirates and his transport back to the Philippines, he said. But since then, he has had to pay out of his own pocket for pain medication, follow-up surgery to remove shrapnel and physical therapy.

Soliman said Prime Projects ignored his pleas for help. He said he never received any information about the warzone insurance and has not filed for benefits.

Prime Projects did not respond to requests for comment.

Solomon said the company “treated me well during the accident. After that, when I came home, nothing.”

A TEACHER’S ROMANCE .... (From page 1) sinuman kung 'di pa siya nakakalahok o nananalo ng Palanca (Palanca is an institution. For the young writer, like I was in 1975, Palanca is like a ritual which needs to be experienced. One is not a complete writer if he has not yet joined or won a Palanca).”

Aguila recounted how his romance with literature started, “It was in college where I grew fond of poetry reading, plays, and any literature explaining about the things which were happening in the society; it was the 70s. I also joined a poetry writing contest in UP where I won. I realized that I enjoyed writing more,” said Aguila.

This newfound love in literature soon made him

decide to shift course to Bachelor of Arts in Filipino, to the utter dismay of his father.

He was then taking up accountancy at the UP College of Business Administration as his father had hoped, after he graduated at the top of his class in high school, that he would become an accountantlawyer “It was only after I won my first Palanca that it became easier for my father to accept my becoming a writer,” said Aguila.

His Palanca victory would be followed by a string of other winnings in various literary competitions.

“Before I knew it, I was already hooked in this field,” he said.

The literary professor is into

all genres, as he is comfortable in all forms of literature, and does not favor one over the other. As such, he has been known as the complete writer – creating poems, formal and personal essays, short stories, plays, songs, and scripts for radio, television, movies, and komiks.

In poetry writing, Aguila admires Chinese and Latin American poets. He is drawn to the deftness of the Chinese in creating images, while he loves the intense emotions of Latin American poets.

In plays, the professor takes to Brechtian or Brechtian-like painstakingly written, and one which threshes out issues in life and society. He said he likes plays not only for its entertainment value, but as a chance to

enter the minds as well as the reasons why things happen.

Aguila also loves Italian movies for the simplicity of its narratives. He loves old songs also for its simple melodious pattern. And he loves his laid-back lifestyle where he enjoys being a ‘houseband’ – doing the market and cooking for his family; and tending his bonsai plants, which he says is an art in itself.

The professor, however, was quick to clarify that he has never patterned his writing from that of other writers, and advises others not to do this as well.

SEN. CHIZ ESCUDERO’S SPEECH Magandang umaga sa inyong lahat, magsi-upo po tayo. Maikli lamang ito.

Simula noong umalis ako sa NPC noong ika-28 ng Oktubre, ginawa ko yun upang Malaya kong Makita at matanaw ang dapat kong gawin kaugnay ng 2010 elections. Ginawa ko ‘yun upang hindi nakapiring at hindi nakatali ang aking mga mata’t mga kamay para malaman kung ano ang dapat kong magawa sa ating sambayanan sa darating na panahon. Mula sa aking Malaya na pagkakatayo, tunay namang mas nakita ko ang dapat nating gawin bilang isang bansa at bilang isang lahi. Kabilang na ang pag-amin at pag-ako ng anumang kakayanan o kawalan nito kaugnay sa mga mithiin, pangarap at layunin natin para sa ating bansa.

Nitong mga nagdaang araw, nagnilay-nilay ako, kumausap sa maraming malalapit na kaibigan at gayundin ang pamilya, kinausap ang ilan sa ating mga kababayan at pinagpasyahan ang aking papel na gagampanan sa darating na halalan. Akala ko magiging madaling desisyon pero hindi pala. Akala ko napakadali ang magiging pasya pero hindi pala. I’ve always said that for me, it’s the presidency but not at all cost.

Not at the cost of losing my soul, not at the cost of losing myself, not at the cost by being eaten up by the system and the process and certainly not at the cost of not being able to do the things that I was and set out to do. Para sa akin panguluhan lamang ang aking nasa isip subalit hindi ko ito hahanapin at kukunin kung sa

Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero talks to his supporters during his announcement not to run in next year election held at Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan City. proseso ng pagkuha nito mawawala po ang aking sarili’t kaluluwa. Hindi ko rin kayang gawin ang dapat at gusto kong gawin at kung makakain lamang ako ng sistema. Para sa akin, hamon itong dapat tingnan ng lahat na unang nagdeklara, sila ba’y nakain na ng sistema o hindi pa, sa daan tungo sa panguluhan. Sila ba ay kaya pa ring gawin ang lahat ng pinangako sa atin na magaganda at matatamis habang nangangampanya.

Hindi ko makokonsensyang sabihin ‘yan kung hindi ko rin lang kayang gawin kung ako ay pagtitiwalaan niyo. Dahil po sa lahat ng nabanggit ko, akala ko’y madali pero hindi. Napagpasyahan ko, na hindi tumakbo bilang pangulo sa darating na halalan. Napagpasyahan ko na hindi man bilang kandidato, ako’y may papel na pwedeng

gampanan bilang Pilipino at ordinaryong botante sa panahong ito. Napagpasyahan ko na hindi lang ngayon ang panahon para matupad ang pinanghahawakan kong pangarap at layunin kong panguluhan nang hindi nakatali.

Patuloy kong panghahawakan ang pangarap at pangakong iyan. Hindi man ngayon kundi sa darating na panahon.

Nais kong gamitin ang pagkakataong ito para magpasalamat sa lahat nang mga naniwala at nagtiwala; sa lahat ng gumalaw at kumilos maski na walang salapi o pera; sa lahat ng nagsalita at naniwala, sumigaw at nakiisa sa aking pangarap ng walang katumbas at kapalit. Kaninang umaga, bago ako umalis binisita ko yung dalawang anak ko na kambal at yun lang ang nagbigay sa akin ng lakas na

humarap sa inyo ngayon dahil maraming nagsasabing kung hindi ka rin lang naman tatakbo Chiz, bakit ka pa magpepress-con? Mag press release ka na lamang. Buong tapang at buo ang loob kong nais sabihin ito sa harap ninyo. Dahil hindi ko kinakahiya anumang salitang binigkas ko ngayon.

Kasabay ng inyong kalungkutan, marahil ganun din ang aking kalungkutan. Pero kasabay ng kalungkutang yan, ang pagnanais at pangarap at pangakong nais kong hawakan pa rin natin matapos nating lumisan ng silid na ito.

Ang pangako ng isang bagong Pilipinas; ang pangako ng isang bagong pagbabago; ang pangako ng isang Pilipinas na hindi tulad ngayon, na kung hindi man natin makakamtan ngayon at sa pamamagitan ko sana magampanan ito ng mga nagpapakilala sa ating reresolba sa lahat ng ating problema. Kaisa ninyo ako at kaisa ako ng sinumang pagtitiwalaan ng sambayanan sa mga darating na araw. At bilang botante, bilang Pilipino, bilang senador, patuloy akong mananalig sa kakayanan ng Pilipino at ng ating bansa na malampasan ang mga hamon at pagsubok na ito. Salamat po sa inyong pagtitiwala nitong mga nagdaang araw. At salamat din po sa inyong pagtitiwala sa akin, sa aming grupo at sa aming lahat, sa adhikaing aming pinanghawakan. Makakaasa kayo na patuloy namin itong gagawin at gagampanan sa mga susu-nod pong araw.

Sa muli po, taos pusong pagbati, salamat sa pagbisita at isa pong maganda at pinagpalang umaga.#

NOW IS NOT THE TIME.... (From page 1) bilang kandidato, ako’y may papel na pwedeng gampanan bilang Pilipino at ordinaryong botante sa panahong ito,” the 40-year old lawmaker said in a speech at Club Filipino.

“Napagpasyahan ko na hindi lang ngayon ang panahon para matupad ang pinanghahawakan kong pangarap at layunin kong panguluhan nang hindi nakatali.

Patuloy kang panghahawakan ang pangarap at pangakong iyan. Hindi man ngayon kundi sa darating na panahon,” he said.

Escudero announced his decision almost a month after he resigned from the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) so he could freely make up his mind without any other interest and agenda in mind but his hopes and dreams for the country.

“I’ve always said that for me, it’s the presidency but not at all cost. Not at the cost of losing my soul, not at the cost of losing myself, not at the cost by being eaten up by the system and the process and certainly not at the cost of not being able to do the things

that I was and set out to do,” he told a crowd of supporters and allies.

Escudero, who has been among the frontrunners in the latest presidential surveys, said he had consulted with family, close friends, and supporters on his plans for the 2010 polls.

“Hindi ko rin kayang gawin ang dapat at gusto kong gawin at kung makakain lamang ako ng sistema. Para sa akin, hamon itong dapat tingnan ng lahat na ng unang nagdeklara, sila ba’y nakain na ng sistema o hindi pa, sa daan tungo sa panguluhan,” said Escudero.

“Sila ba ay kaya pa ring gawin ang lahat ng pinangako sa atin na magaganda at matatamis habang nangangampanya. Hindi ko makokonsensyang sabihin ‘yan kung hindi ko rin lang kayang gawin kung ako ay pagtitiwalaan niyo. Dahil po sa lahat ng nabanggit ko, akala ko’y madali pero hindi,” he said.

Escudero thanked his supporters for their trust and confidence and vowed to continue his fight for a “new Philippines” in the days ahead.#
