Langka

Maalay magtangla sa bitoon

Ilabi na kay wala ini ikasarang

Manaog sa duta. Maayo pa

Maghandom sang langka,

Kay man wala ini sing mahimo

Sa maukod magtamod-hulat,

Kon indi ang mahulog.

#ZineZoned3 is happening in August!

Are you interested in displaying your artwork and literary pieces to a wider audience?

If you have a collection of literary pieces (poetry, flash fic, short story, play, hugot lines!) or artwork (or a combination of both! Oooh! Collab opportunity!), get down to making your own zine and join us in this year's biggest zine festival in Iloilo!

Simply send us a private message, expressing your interest to be a ziner. Then, email hubonmanunulat@gmail.com with the following:

1. A brief bio-note (around 100 words, providing your academic/professional/writing background)
2. A high-res photo of yourself (to be used for the zine fest's promotional materials)
3. A high-res photo of the COVER of your zine

There are no thematic or language restrictions for the zines! There is, however, a P100 registration fee that will cover table rentals for the two-day event, inclusion in #ZineZoned3 promo materials, and coffee (wooot!)!

Please send in all requirements by July 31, 2017. Feel free to send us a PM for any inquiry. Invite your friends!

See you on August 26 - 27, 2017 at the Fountain Area of Robinson's Place Iloilo!

Ang Akon Kasingkasing Daw Pulo

Ang Akon Kasingkasing Daw Pulo is a Hiligaynon poem that I wrote while acting as research adviser to a group of graduate students in Punta Buri, Ajuy, Iloilo.

This reading was a part of the closing ceremonies of the 15th San Agustin Writers Workshop at the University of San Agustin, Iloilo City last 5 May 2017.

Getting There

Getting There, a poem read during Pautwas: Zine Festival kag Basahay Binalaybay sa Yupihay, last 3 April 2017 at the University of the Philippines Visayas Little Theater.

The event was attended in by UP Visayas students and faculty members. Also present were Mr. Gil Montinola, writer and member of Hubon Manunulat, and Ms. Tarie Sabido, Chair of the Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY).

The event was organized by the UP High School in Iloilo Grade 11 HUMSS class, the UPHSI Student Council, and UPHSI Kapisanan ng Panitikan at Wika (KAPWA).

Ang Pagbalay sang Binalaybay

A talk on writing poetry delivered last 17 March 2017 at St. Paul University Iloilo.

Another Zine, Another Zone

Ginapangita Ko Ikaw

Ginapangita ko ikaw,

Inday, sa mga laragway

Sa mga ambahanon

Pati sa mga binalaybay

Basi pa lang didto ko

Ikaw makit-an, kay man

Nadula ka na sa akon

Hunahuna kag kasingkasing.
