Revive Waray Literature
« on: February 16, 2012, 05:54:02 PM »
by PIA

The Katig han Sinirangan Bisayas Waray writers who gathered on Saturday at the Leyte Normal University (LNU) were asked to resuscitate Waray literature by Prof. Merle Alunan, a well known writer and a professor of the UP System.
 
As if to challenge the budding writers, Alunan quoted a statement from Dr Bienvenido Lumbera that said , “Not much is produced in some regional literatures; in fact some are moribound or dying, as in the case of Waray literature and to some extent, Cebuano literature.”
 
With the little Waray literature available, Alunan, in her talk on “Latitudes of Intimacy: Modern waray Literature,” presented her dissection of some opus of the Waray poets that figured in Lamiraw, Waray Writing Workshop usually held at the Northwest Samar State University in Calbayog City (Samar) and the Iligan Writers Workshop.
 
The UP professor who stands as a critic to the Waray writing workshops with Dr. Dave Genotiva and Vic Sugbu drew out the themes in the poems that talked of simple and humble pleasures, the verdant farms and the seas and the rural folks’ pre occupation.
 
Alunan talked about poets who were mostly males as only one woman writer made it to her dissection.
 
“Except for Victor N. Sugbo, the new Waray writers found their voices first in their own mother tongues. However, they are all university-trained. It is evident in the styles and poetic techniques they have adopted, and the way they have brought the traditional forms of native Waray poetry closer to contemporary modes of writing.”
 
“From these new poets of Waray, speaking in the new language of modern poetry, we discover how the Filipino thrives in latitudes of intimacy.”
 
The speaker mentioned Waray stalwarts like Eduardo Makabenta Sr., Iluminado Lucente, and Casiano Trinchera, whom she said wrote in rhymed quatrains, the lines balanced in strict syllabic measure by a caesura.
 
Organizers believe that the activity has elicited somehow a flicker of hope for the writers to write more in Waray, Inabaknon, or Sebuano in whatever form of literature that will perpetuate Waray and the other languages spoken in the region.
 
“Slowly but surely, the Waray writer is coming back to his/her culture, ” Alunan stated.
 
The activity in Eastern Visayas was initiated by the National Committee on Literary Arts (NCLA), the Katig Writers Network Inc., and Leyte Normal University (LNU) to celebrate the National Arts Month this February. (PIA 8-Samar)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Hmm, "the lines balanced in strict syllabic measure by a caesura"? Bwahaha, measure by a caesura? Man, you've been eating too much grass...

waray is a forgotten first language of mine (i spoke it until i was 10 years old) but i still have some memory of childhood songs, one of which is this lullaby (sung to the tune of 'lubi-lubi'):

hi mano palabyo mahal an baligya        si manoy palabyo mahal ang baligya
adobo, sitsaron opod an mantika          adobo, sitsaron apil ang mantika
pinaparisan pa han luyat na tarong       parisan pag luyat nga eggplant
hi mano palabyo mahal la gihapon.       si manoy palabyo mahal lang gihapon.

duol rag kabuing ang cebuano ug waray. ;D

:P

lisod tuod sabton, bisag moablig dictionary or google search...

from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/:

cae·su·ra also ce·su·ra  (s-zhr, -zr)

n. pl. cae·su·ras also ce·su·ras or cae·su·rae also ce·su·rae (-zhr, -zr)

1. A pause in a line of verse dictated by sense or natural speech rhythm rather than by metrics.

2. A pause or interruption, as in conversation: After another weighty caesura the senator resumed speaking.

3. In Latin and Greek prosody, a break in a line caused by the ending of a word within a foot, especially when this coincides with a sense division.

4. Music A pause or breathing at a point of rhythmic division in a melody.

well, maybe the news writer (or the quoted merle alunan) meant that a caesura can be used as a measurement of balance?  samot kalibog akong kutaw...

Ay na lang ta. Hadlok jud ka sa "tawong" for its deeply personal connotation...

(P.S.) No, "deeply" is not meant to be the operative word... ;D
