Award-winning writers talk about writing in protest
By Karah Jane B. Sarita TWO AWARD-WINNING Filipino writers Asst. Prof. Ian Rosales Casocot and Daryll Delgado did a sit-in and talk about the role of writers and literature in a time of crisis and protest last Dec. 12 at the Audio-Visual Theatre 1. Casocot, a faculty of Silliman University known for his prizewinning short stories like “Old Movies”, “The Hero of the Snore Tango”, “Rosario and the Stories”, and “A Strange Map of Time” talked about archiving an ongoing literature of protest. “Literature in a sense is very very powerful,” Casocot said. In his talk, he introduced his project “The Kill List Chronicles,” a literary blog and a Facebook page.
It is also an archive of literature that focuses on extrajudicial killings. “Why is this thing happening a lot? And why is it that nobody seems to care? We have accepted a culture of impunity… and that really bothered me,” Casocot said, referring to the killings happening in the country. According to him, many of the killings now are actually because of permission. Furthermore, Casocot also tackled the history of writing to protest and the writers who protested and were killed during the Martial Law. Meanwhile, Delgado, author of the short story collection “After the Body Displaces Water” talked about writing within the context of violence. “For me, it’s useful to think about words and how you can use words
to influence the small communities where you find yourselves in, and to encourage those who seek to preserve the power of those words,” Delgado said. According to Delgado, the appropriate response of writers to violence is to step back and write from a distance. “Write from a distance, that allows you to ruminate on violence but also to not forget that you are writing about violence that affects individuals,” she said. Delgado said that writers should speak truth to power by defying power, challenging totalitarian forces, and taking a stand. “To speak truth to power, I guess you also have to ask ‘whose power?’ ‘For whose convenience?’ ‘Whose convictions are you

Christian Futalan, Silliman Idol 2016 winner and one of the performers during the event said, “It’s really fulfilling, to know nga this event is for the children in my hometown, in Siaton. It makes me happy nga makatabang ko.” Besides Futalan, former Silliman Idol contestants and various students from the university including the junior and senior high school also performed at the concert. Renz Macion, founder of the Talumpati ng Taon foundation
said, “Since it is Christmas, so it is all about giving.” “[The performers] are not aid [sic]. They are just here to give their hearts out. Mao ng I am really thankful to the performers who are here tonight. Kay without them this wouldn’t be possible jud,” Macion added. Dearly Naong, a junior medical technology student and one of the audience said, “The show was nice and entertaining. The singers were very good. It feels great that you can lend a hand to children with the small amount of money.”~
been for the PEP students “to share their blessings to other kids.” “It is our first time to go outside the campus for the outreach program…there are a few freshmen and less budget…[but] the purpose of the activity is sharing what we have and giving to others, so we still opted to go,” Señeres said. Señeres added that instead of the tradition where PEP students do a role play of the Christmas story, they invited members of the Youth Advocates through Theater Arts to do an interactive storytelling. Lynnie Lacse, guidance counselor of the Senior High School and one
of the participants in the event, said that it is the first time that they went to another place for the outreach program instead of students coming to the campus. “We invited students from day care centers this year. In the previous years, our recipients, usually, were around 250 grade 1 to 6 pupils from public schools in Dumaguete. This was before when we had around 1,000 PEP students,” Lacse said. Lacse added that the activity was supposed to be for the PEP students “but [Silliman] has a few first year students and fourth continue to page 4...

Indonesian Embassy officers orient Indonesian community
By Karah Jane B. Sarita
OFFICERS OF THE Indonesian Embassy conducted an orientation about the present programs and plans of the Indonesian government to the students and other Indonesian residents of Dumaguete last Dec. 8 at the Silliman Hall. Mr. Tody Baskoro, Second Secretary for Protocol and Consular Affairs, discussed the guidelines on dealing with students. He also introduced a checklist of documentary requirements for conversion to student visa. According to Mr. Wibanarto Eugenius, Chief of Protocol and Consular Affairs, the program was very important since they were able to update the Indonesian students about the process in the Philippines after school and ways of taking care of themselves in times of threat since it was his duty, as the
officer of the Indonesian embassy in Manila, to take care of the Indonesians and to make sure that everything is running well. Meanwhile, given that Silliman University (SU) hosted the event, Mr. Moses Joshua Atega, Adviser to the International Students, said, “From our end on Silliman, we appreciate this because we get to know the present requirements of the students when they come to study abroad from Indonesia.” “It is also an opportunity for us to let the Indonesian Embassy officers know how we are here in Silliman when it comes to taking care of our students, and they have been appreciative of what we have been doing… it is also to show our hospitality to the Indonesian community here,” Atega added. Eugenius thinks that SU is a very comfortable university with a complete facility and a very good environment. Furthermore, it was the second time SU housed the said event.~

Bittersweet Ending
C
hristmas is just around the corner. It’s that month of the year again where people exchange gifts, set out the tree, decorate Christmas ornaments, adorn pretty lights, and celebrate with their families. Soon we will be welcoming another year and leaving this controversial year behind. Others yearn for a new year to dawn while others wish the year would not end for fear of what more evil can happen. 2016 was a year filled with controversy and headline national and international issues. Who can forget the year when former President Marcos was finally buried or the year when businessman Donald Trump was elected the president of the Land of the Free? Who can forget the year when death penalty was revived and the age of criminal liability was lowered? Aside from political and social issues, the natural disasters and extrajudicial killings that left our fellow countrymen in grief also marked 2016. Even though the current situation in our country is shaky and complicated, let us not forget to maintain a semblance of normalcy in our somewhat abnormal world. Let us not just focus all our attention to problems but instead, have this time to spread love and share our blessings to everyone. The year was not all about problems as there were also happenings that are cause for us to rejoice and celebrate. In the end, love overpowers hate and will triumph against any evil. After all, the essence of Christmas is that Love put on flesh in order for people to be reconciled to God. We at the Weekly Sillimanian wish our readers a Merry Christmas. May the holiday season bring you closer to the ones you love and fill you all with joy, peace, and harmony that endures even in the darkest of times. Let us remember the birth of the Via, Veritas, Vita and take the time to thank God for all His blessings this year.

sillimaniansspeak Compiled by Gresheen Gift M. Libby
“What are your thoughts on VP Leni Robredo’s leaving the cabinet?” “Does she lack self-esteem? Hmm, maybe? Her, leaving the cabinet is obviously a sign that she lacks self-esteem. She’s the VP of our country, she’s supposed to be the role model of a dignified individual. VP Robredo’s attitude now simply means that she doesn’t deserve to be in the position.” Fearn Anne Acibo, Bachelor of Mass Communication III “I think VP Robredo’s resignation is actually good for her and her advocacies. Now that she’s no longer a member of the Duterte Cabinet, she can do more things instead of just focusing on housing and urban development. However, it’s also sad to know that aside from the informal text from Sec. Evasco instructing her to desist attending Cabinet meetings, she’s been “bullied” by the administration thru budget cuts in the HUDCC, Duterte’s support for a Marcos Vice-Presidency, among other things. Perhaps resigning was the most professional thing to do in a government of unprofessionalism and fanaticism and even more admirable is the VP’s decision to lead a sane opposition. Just a thought, I think the President has made it his personal vendetta to remove from office all who have spoken against the extrajudicial killings brought about by Du30’s war on drugs, so expect more silenced and removed public officials.” Reyman Kristoffer King Sy, Alumnus VP Robredo’s desistance from the Cabinet was not a choice she whimsically made: it was anchored on Pres. Duterte’s directive to do so. VP Robredo’s withdrawal as Chairperson of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) was a lost in the Duterte adminitration, because I strongly believe that VP Robredo was functioning well in all her positions, for I remember in a speech that she made a few months ago that indeed, she is new to politics, but not to public service. Therefore, I am led to believe that the desistance of VP Robredo from the Cabinet is a great loss in the Duterte Administration--they let go of someone who passionately and wholeheartedly championed the needs and rights of the Filipino people. But let us now pray that she keep her Vice-Presidency from being “stolen.” Hasne ivo live! Edcarl Realiza Cagandahan, Juris Doctor I

Failures and Everything in Between John Rey L. Villareal | Pyramid Ninja
Everyone wants to win. Be it in the sport they love or in the exams they take; nobody likes to lose. However, it cannot be avoided that things go south. Everything crash down. It’s basically Murphy’s Law. But saying that “failing in something is the end of the world” is a generalization of a potential that could happen. Most of the time, failure is the thing that drives people down. It is essentially a person’s lowest point in life. Losing gives horrible feelings like inadequacy, that you could have done something better. However, if you just keep moving forward, it will all fall in place. Sure, it might take a while to get back on your feet but there’s nothing better
than overcoming your lowest point. The best part about hitting rockbottom is that there’s no other place to go but up. Go on in life and learn from your mistakes. After all, you wouldn’t want to keep doing the same thing repeatedly unless you’re insane. Failures build humanity. We could go on and on with successful failures like Bill Gates who was once a college drop-out. Even those famed for their success throughout life has probably gone through a loss at some point. The truth is: you’ll never learn true success unless you’ve already fallen from a cliff of despair. Everyone has their share of embarrassments, griefs, or losses. It is just how one deals with it
that changes the situation. You can’t do anything or feel good about whatever happened, but that doesn’t mean there’s only darkness waiting for you at the end of the tunnel. There’s always a positive aspect to everything. You should look for it. Success isn’t always everything. Even heroes, comical or real, have their own set of downfalls. What makes them heroes isn’t because they can beat every villain they see but they try their best even if their odds are stacked against them. The important thing to everything in life is knowing that you tried and you gave all your best.~
Things I should have known in law school Micah Stefan Dagaerag | Coram Deo
I was a terrible law student. I might have stayed in the College of Law the longest, and, as in most things, there are good and bad reasons why. But now, I soak in the afterglow of finishing the Bar exam, that hideous beast of an adversary law students must eventually face. I believe in what others say that the Bar is the most difficult professional licensure exam in the country. The results are not out yet until another four or five months. So while I am writing this from not exactly a victor’s perspective, these dispatches of a survivor from the battlefield might just prove useful for some future takers. 1. You are the only person in the world who can truly know what you will need to prepare well. Since the new millennium, the national passing rate per year has stayed within the range of 18-32 percent. No matter how you want to look at it, cold statistics suggests that generally you will fail the Bar. Recognize—and accept wholeheartedly—that you are swimming against the current, that you are fighting to be the exception. You cannot look at other Bar candidates to know if you are on the right track. You must determine and note what learning methods and practices will help you the best, with the understanding that it will not be the same for everyone. Ask yourself ahead of time. Establish an effective learning method where you could either learn by reading more, writing more, watching, or listening to lectures more, moving to Manila, moving back home, enroll in a review center, self-study, this year, next year, or some other strategic combinations thereof, and commit to it. Don’t mind too much if no one else
is preparing for the Bar the way you are. Your performance is ultimately your responsibility, not theirs. Craft a good, humane plan. But anticipate that you will not be able to follow it perfectly. Every now and then, it gets changed and adjusted. And that’s okay. What is not okay is not having a plan at all. The more time you spend planning ahead, the less time you waste recovering afterwards. There will be times when the pressure will threaten to overwhelm and to incapacitate, yet having a workable plan in place will help give you a sense of assurance and confidence when you need some. It can even enable you to turn down on other things that might be tempting but would otherwise not be beneficial anymore. 2. The quality of your Bar reviewing can only be as good as the quality of your law schooling. Law school and the eventual Bar review after graduation are not two different realities. There is no difference between the two. Rather, they are parts of an unexpectedly monist system. You prepare for the Bar from the moment you enter law school. Unfortunately, we were generally not geniuses when we enrolled in law school. We didn’t expect many to have the ability to self-navigate and self-discipline after years of previous training and experience, which might be more common in elite law schools such as UP, Ateneo, and San Beda Law. This is where hard work truly makes a difference. It always outweighs “brilliance” or “intelligence.” We need teachers to give us a map to keep us in track throughout the cities and forests of legal knowledge necessary to pass the subject and, by extension, the Bar.
So, we should attend classes dutifully. We should read books written by distinguished practitioners and experts of the law, before resorting to reviewers compiled by mere fellow law students, if necessary. You will still be a student during the Bar review and even when you already become a lawyer. Resolve to be a good student as early as possible. By the time the first Sunday of the Bar came, I realized that I had not even done half of what I had sought out to do in order to prepare. (Your real enemy in the Bar review is time.) There were more materials to study, but just did not have the time to do so anymore. This is where all your mental investments in law school can pay off. Inevitably, there will be concepts in the Bar exam that you had not been able to review, but which you had read or heard about way back in law school. Treat your classes well, and they could return the favor when you most need it. One small afterthought. There is life after the Bar exam. You don’t need to sacrifice your health and conscience on its altar. Know that your family and friends will not think any less of you if you fail the Bar. And if they do, then they are not true friends, and you can go find yourself some new ones. You plan and you work hard to maximize luck and minimize risk, and still there are just too many factors beyond your control, so you must fight the urge to see the Bar as an indication of one’s intelligence, diligence, or worth. The Bar is a big thing, but it’s not Jesus. It’s not everything. So, fight from a position of strength, not self-destruction. As in all things.~

Filipino Christmas Spirit By Merell Lystra L. Recta Kasadya ning taknaa Dapit sa kahimayaan Mao ray among makita Ang panagway na masanagon Christmas, an annual commemoration of Jesus’ birth celebrated on the 25 th of December by Christians, is a holiday which holds a special place in the hearts of Filipinos. It is not only the giving of gifts or the abundance of special food on the table which makes the celebration so special. The spirit of Christmas for us Filipinos is also focused on charity works and the traditions that we hold during Christmas time. The caroling and the sharing we show makes the Christmas spirit truly Filipino. Caroling. It is that time of the year when children would hop from house to house singing sweet Christmas
songs. Bringing with them their improvised instruments made of recycled materials such as caps and bottles, they would greet each household a merry Christmas, and at the same time hope for a penny as gratitude of their soulful singing. Even if some people get irritated, the spirit of Christmas caroling in the Philippines never ceases. Caroling in the Philippines proves how family-oriented Filipinos are, considering the fact that relatives would always want to go home for the holidays to spend time with the people they love. It can even be seen in those young kids who gather to plan and decide which house to sing their Christmas carols. Some would claim that what makes being far away from home even more nostalgic for overseas Filipino workers is caroling, or in our Visayang dialect, panaygon. To remind us of the popular Visayan songs in the country,
the Silliman University Campus Choristers organized a comeback concert entitled “Daygon: The Return of Glad Tidings” on the 12 th and 13 th of December at the Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium. This concert reminded us of the creativity of Filipinos when it comes to singing carols. The songs performed during the concert were indeed familiar to most of us, since these were commonly sung by our parents or even our
twsfeatures 3
g r a n d p a r e n t s . Some of the familiar songs that the Campus Choristers performed were “Usahay,” “Rosas Pandan,” “Tuloy na Tuloy pa rin ang Pasko,” “Kampana ng Simbahan,” and of course, the varied versions of “Kasadya.” People could surely relate to these songs, as they might have heard them during their childhood. Even the conductor, Mark Ian Caballes, admitted that his mother sang to him—back when he was still a little child—some songs in their performance. Sharing. You might have a lot of scheduled Christmas parties for your organizations or group of friends, but even though it is like a heavy rock inside your purse, one would still pursue to join such parties. These parties are special because they do not only
serve as a simple Christmas celebration, but it is also a reunion or fellowship among a group of friends who may have not seen each other for many years. No matter how big or small a gift is, or how abundant the food on the table is, Filipinos can really find a way to make the celebration extraordinary. Aside from Christmas parties, some would even prefer to celebrate the holidays by giving gifts to the less fortunate. You might agree with me that Filipinos celebrate Christmas with special treatment. All those caroling and sharing of blessings truly makes our celebration a special one. You might not even resist to sing along with the Christmas carols. Merry Christmas! Bulahan ug bulahan Ang tagbalay nga giawitan Awit nga halandumon sa tanang Pasko Magmalipayon!~
Celebrations from Around the World By Merell Lystra L. Recta
A
s we are down to the last month of the year, lots of celebrations await at our doorsteps. In our country, most of us anticipate the coming of the “ber months” and especially the 25 th of December—Christmas! Since more than 86 percent of our population is Roman Catholic, celebrating the birth of Jesus is the practice we hold today. But the last month of any calendar has more celebrations than what we see on the surface. From followers of ancient religions to members of common religions to atheists, they also have their own celebrations for this month. On the 26 th of December, members of the ancient religion Zoroastrianism celebrate the death anniversary of their legendary religious teacher Zarathustra. Large numbers of people would visit fire temples and offer special prayers as part of the celebration. Lectures on the life and works of Zoroaster are also organized. Members of the modernday adaptation of an Ancient Egyptian religion known as Kemetism celebrate the Day of the Return of the Wandering Goddess—a celebration which includes lighting of lamps, offering of sweets, and dancing for Het-Hert, the goddess who got angry at her father Ra and was reunited again with his father in this celebration. Followers of Kemetic Orthodoxy hold this feast during the winter solstice, an astronomical phenomenon wherein the day is shortest and the night is longest. Meanwhile, Buddhists commemorate the day when Gautama Buddha experienced enlightenment when he sat beneath a fig tree called the Bodhi Tree. This enlightenment was believed to be an escape from the repeating cycle of reincarnation. Believers commemorate this event through additional
meditation, the study of Dharma (the teaching of the Buddha), chanting of Buddhist texts, or doing kind things to others. This is celebrated on the 8 th of December or the Sunday before it. Aside from that, the Jews celebrate the Festival of Lights known as Hanukkah, which recalls a miraculous event during the war for religious freedom. The fact that the temple candles lasted eight days—when it was believed that they only had enough oil to burn for one— was certainly a miracle. This celebration falls on the sunset of December 20 to December 28. The lunar based Islamic calendar of the Muslims also highlights the Feast of Sacrifice, commonly known as Id alAdha, followed immediately by a pilgrimage to Mecca.
However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will occur on December if we base it on our Gregorian calendar. This celebration includes a gathering of family and friends, meals, gift-giving, and helping the poor through charity works. Created by Maulana Karenga, the week-long celebration Kwanza is a developed cultural holiday which means the “first fruits of the harvest.” Each of the seven principles—selfdetermination, collective work, responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith—serves as the theme for each day as part of the celebration. Kwanza starts on the 26 th of December featuring the African-American heritage. Heading to the eastern part of Asia, Omisoka is the year-end
celebration in Japan. A clean-up is performed so that a home starts a year clean and tidy. People would often gather one last time to have a bowl of toshikoshisoba or toshikoshi-udon. At the shrines in Japan, people would prepare and pass around sweet sake or amazake to crowds as the midnight approaches. A gong is also struck 108 times—each to symbolize the 108 earthly desires causing human suffering. It may not be common, but there is a secular holiday which includes most of the practices Christians hold during Christmas celebrations, except for the story of Jesus’ birth. Spelled as Krismas, this observes the myth of Kris Kringle—or what we know as Santa Claus, Rudolph and other reindeers, and the elves. Although it
sounds a lot like Christmas, it is closer to the Pagan origins than what the modern-day celebration is. This holiday was created independently in order for agnostics, atheists, deists, free-thinkers, and the rest who are not Christians, to freely wish another person a “Merry Krismas” without changing their beliefs. We may differ in what we celebrate, but we can tell that the last month of the year is significant for most people. It may be a small celebration, but the fact that families get reunited is such a cute scenario. To quote Oprah Winfrey, “The more you celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” With notes f rom http://www. religioustolerance.org/xmas_other. htm~
