Taldiap: Pannakipagadal, preserba ken panangtagiben ti literature ilokana ken kultura ti amianan

(First of a series)

“Preserving a Literature and Culture through Organizing”
Daytoy ti topiko nga impakarga ni Dr. Aurelio Solver  Agcaoili, coordinator ti Nakem ken International Conference in Literature and Culture Amianan a naangay idi Oktubre 27, 2007 iti Philippine Consulate General. “If you can stress the need to preserve and produce our languages and cultures as our way of affirming diversity and multiculturalism”.
 
Laoklaok a kultura ken puli. Dagiti Filipino ti maysa a puli a mangbukel iti komunidad. Imigrante dagitoy. Kabaelanda ti makilaok iti ania a puli. Nupay naisinada kadagiti kampo kadagiti plantasion, saanna a kayat a sawen a saanda ammo ti makilangen. Filipino are capable to mingle with any ethnic group. Filipinos could be a good links:“Filipinos can serve as “bridge person” in America’s emerging new pluralism.

Filipinos and other Asians share a common geographic origin in the Asia-Pacific basin. In looking for images, or characteristics that would best capture and describe the Filipinos, especially the Ilokanos: you may or may not agree with me if I use these terminology such as: hard worker, frugal, and strike everywhere type of individual, I came upon the picture: saan unay a managpili. Adda diay pagsasao—immaytayo a mangged, la ngarud, kuartanto met la ti birokem.

Ni Ilokano ket managil-iliw, nagaget ken natudio” Langoyenna amin a baresbes wenno adda danumna, as of the milkfish, the national fish of the Philippines. Milkfish, the bangus, thrives on brackish water, the admixture of fresh water that comes from the mountain rivers and salty water that comes from the sea. It is in this rotunda, this intersection, that milkfish are raised”

Kaaduanna dagitoy a Filipino ket nalaingda nga agorganisa. Agsuratda iti man prosa, piksion ken dadduma. Ammoda iti laud, daya, amianan ken abagatan iti makuna a Crossroad of the Pacific or the Melting Pot”. 

Tallo a balikas dagiti kangrunaan a nagbatayak a nagsarita a kas maysa kadagiti panelists, iti sakupek: · Preserving [pannakasalimetmet wenno pannakatagiben]· Literatura Ilokana ken Kultura iti Amianan· Panagbangon ti grupo. Sakbay nga immayak ditoy Hawaii idi Hulio 30, 1971, nangrugiak iti nanumo a barrio.

Naisigudak nga agduyos iti panagsuratan. Bassit usit ti nangrugiak a nakipagbangonan a gunglo dagiti mannurat a managan iti Sta. Curz Writers Guild idi Agodsto 18, 1962 nga impanguluan ni Cristino I.

Hidalgo, Jr. Maysaak a nakaawat ti surat ni Apo Hidalgo, kas maysaak idin nga agdadamo a contributor iti Bannawag iti kasapaan ti 1960.

Nagbalin ti Sta Cruz Writers Guild a bukel wenno bin-i a nangrugian a nabangon dagiti dadduma a gunglo. Ket idi agarup 1964, nagbalin a Sinait Writers Assn, sa idi nabangon ti Gumil Ilocos Sur iti agarup taraudi ti 1964 wenno tapog ti 1965, nagbalin ti SWA a Gumil Sinait, banag a nakipagkameng ti Gumil Sinait iti Gumil Ilocos Sur idi 1965, a nakipagkamenganmi metten – aginggana a nagkamengkami iti Gumil Filipinas aginggana nga immayak iti Hawaii idi Hulio 30, 1971.

As I arrived in Hawaii, the very first writers’ group I have joined is the Gumil Hawaii, through the invitation of Mrs. Pacita Cabulera Saludes.

Kas opisial ken nagpaay a pangulo ti nadumaduma a komite a pakairamanan iti Seminar/Workshop ken Antohologies, napanunotmi a binangon ti
