karing kapatad,

 

     peparala ku pung mapilan a materyalis pag-anak

keng center for kapampangan studies a kalupa na padrun

nining poesyang ini, at ipaskil ke pu ini

ban sulsulan ing kaburyan na ning koyang romy

a makagawang materyalis para karing anak:

 

                 "deng asan"

mipapagmayis la king metung a sapa
ring mikalugurang bangus at talapya;
ngana ning kakadwa, "lai keng mataba,
'gyang e ke matako bibilug keng serya..."

"e ke saligoso," ngana namang bangus,
"lakwas na keng kanan ana keng katunud..."
"pareu ta pala," nganing keyang kuyug
kabang mamakmul ya't mayling pasinggulut. .

kabang ing sarili pilit dang pangilag
king lagyung matako balaus manakbag
digpa ya busal da ing apan ning padwas
at misaglulu la a kininis agad...

inya ing katutwan lalung e milingad:
king asbuk ning asan, karin ya marakap..
 
                      -30-

p.s. i used the term TAlapya  to be more kapampangan (because FOLKS use it specially when they are not consciously picking their words in an conducted interview), rather than to use telapya or tilapya which is more tagalog in nature.
however you can correct it if needed.

gagalang at makisanmetung,

1702 Kapampangan dictionary found

SunStar Pampanga Dec. 18, 2009

The Center for Kapampangan Studies announces the discovery of a rare document in the Augustinian archives of Valladolid, Spain, which can shed more light on the state of the Kapampangan language in the early days of colonization.

            The document is a 1702 Kapampangan dictionary written by Fray Alvaro de Benavente, an Augustinian missionary whose first assignment in the Philippines was the parish of Mexico, Pampanga in 1671.

            He was transferred to Bacolor in 1675 and then given various assignments in Manila, Spain and China, until he was reassigned to Bacolor and then back to China where he eventually became the mission’s first bishop. 

            Fray de Benavente wrote a Kapampangan arte (grammar) in 1699, which contains illustrations of the prehistoric Kapampangan script called kulitan.

            According to Lord Francis Musni, a historian of the Center for Kapampangan Studies, it was Fr. Policarpo Hernandez, OSA, former head of the Augustinian mother house in Intramuros, now retired in Spain, who discovered the centuries-old document in Valladolid and facilitated its shipment to Holy Angel University’s Center for Kapampangan Studies for its reproduction, transcription and translation.

            Musni says that Benavente’s dictionary is now the oldest Kapampangan dictionary available. 

            “But the holy grail of Kapampangan lexicography is Fray Diego Ochoa’s arte and vocabulario, which were written in 1578, or about seven years after the Spaniards landed in Pampanga,” says Musni. 

            The oldest translated work on the Kapampangan language by a Spanish missionary is Fray Francisco Coronel’s arte (grammar), written in 1617.  It was transcribed and translated by Fr.

Subject: (ThePhilippineCinema) Japanese inspired film debuts on Mindanao Film Festival [1 Attachment]

Way to the Sunset, a Davao-made full length indie film debuts as an exhibition film during the 5th Mindanao Film Festival's theatrical screening this December 19-20 at the Cinema 5 of the Gaisano Mall of Davao.   Written and directed by Jose Bagane Fiola, a Dabawenyo graphics artist, Way to the Sunset is inspired by Davao's unique Japanese heritage. 95% of the film is in Nihonggo as the story deals between a Nikkei-Jin (Japanese descendant) and a Japinoy (children born of mixed Japanese and Filipino parentage).   Fiola says he was inspired by the film when they shot last year's MFF best film Anod in Mintal, a known settlement of Japanese migrants in Davao in the early 1900s. "Near the shooting location was a ruins of an old Japanese hospital, I was curious why there was a Japanese hospital in Mintal. Then there in my curiosity I was exposed to the history of Japanese in Davao, in  the early 1940s there were so many Japanese here in Davao that they called the city, 'little Japan'." Fiola recalled.   It was also through research that he uncovered the story of Nikkei-Jins or Japanese descendants, who because of their Japanese roots were able to migrate to Japan.    Set in present-day Davao City, it revolves around Nikka (Jann Lauree Liz Tagud), a nikkei-jin (Japanese descendant) and Hitoshi (Hiroku Osanai), a Japino (Japanese-Filipino) who meets up for an “eyeball” date.  A seemingly ordinary day spent around  the city unravels the convergent paths  of their friendship and  the divergent twists of each other’s fate.   Fiola says the Japanese theme makes the film unique among the different participating shorts and full lengths in the festival. Though we didnt really made it historical, the fact that the characters are Nikkei-Jins makes it one of the first locally-produced film in MFF to tackle such theme.   The actors playing the main roles Jann Laurie Liz Tagud and Hiroku Osanai are Nikkei-Jins in real-life. Jann traces her lineage to Okinawan migrants while Hiroku or Roks is of mixed Japanese-Filipino parentage.   Last year's MFF guest exhibition film Concerto by Paul Alexander Morales also tackled Japanese migrant history in Davao.
