The GUMIL Hawai`i takes pride in being one of the key collaborators in the putting up of this 2007 International Conference on Ilokano and Amianan Literatures and Cultures.
It is indeed our honor to have taken part in this event, in partnership with the Ilokano Language and Literature Program of the University of Hawai`i at Manoa, the Annak ti Kailokuan iti Amerika, the Timpuyog Dagiti Mannurat nga Ilokano iti Amerika, the Timpuyog Dagiti Mannurat nga Ilokano-Filipinas, the Timpuyog Dagiti Mannurat nga Ilokano-Global, the Nakem Conferences, Inc., the Nakem Conferences Philippines, the International Academy for Ilokano and Amianan Studies, the Center for Philippine Studies of the University of Hawai`i, and the Philippine Consulate General.
We welcome friends and colleagues in the business of writing the stories of our people, friends who came all the way from the Philippines and other places outside of Hawai`i and whose presence gave honor to our undertaking. We welcome as well our homegrown scholars and creative writers who are part of this conference.
I dare say that this is a good start—this conference that gathered the best minds our people can be proud of, minds that not only have the boldness and daring to document our pains and joys, our sacrifices and blessings, and our hopes and more hopes but minds that have that capacity to understand the need for action in the face of the onslaught of that which is destructive to our identity, diversity, and humanity.
For we cannot be human if we forgot that part of us that is past-present that is ever present: that Ilokano in us, that Cagayan in us, that Cordillera in us—all these—that continue to insist to us that these be recognized, affirmed, nurtured, sustained, and blessed.
With all these thoughts, we hope to have more conferences like this in the years to come. Mahalo and aloha to all of you.

It is my great honor to greet the participants of the 2007 International Conference on Ilokano and Amianan Literatures and Cultures and give our utmost aloha to all of you.
As co-collaborator of this multi-partite IALC Conference, I speak with great pride about the kind of dedication and commitment of those who took part in its conceptualization and in its execution. It is not often that we have gatherings dedicated to the study of Ilokano and Amianan Writings and Literatures, and this Conference, aside from Nakem Conferences, hopes to bring to the surface the issues and discourses that needed to be tackled if we were to be serious with our work of preserving, promoting, and producing
the literatures of our people whether in the homeland or in our adoptive land, the United States.
This duty of looking to the future—of making it sure that the coming generations will have something to hold onto in terms of their ancestors’ languages, literatures, and cultures—is more urgent for us all who have gone to other places. We owe it to our children to give them something concrete in order for them to have the connection to where we come. It is on this note that we say that our stake and, therefore, our obligation, is more than anyone else as a matter of fact. It is also a matter of commitment.

I am pleased to greet and welcome the participants, delegates, speakers, and conveners of this important gathering of producers of our various literatures in Northern Philippines, the Amianan. We, members and officers of TMI Australia, are proud that in this modest way, we are able to put together this conference so that we can have a venue for discussion of what needs to be done to preserve and promote our various languages, literatures, and cultures.
For us Ilokano writers in Australia, we share with all of you this heightened sense of commitment and dedication to what we are, to what we have got, and to what we can give to make it sure that the coming generations of Ilokanos and other people in the North will have something to hold onto to remind themselves of who they are wherever they are. For indeed, it is our lot now as a people to keep going away in order to find something better, something more meaningful than the little that we have in the home country. But we are always going back, if not in the physical sense, in the psychic and cultural sense. This, to me, is one of the reasons why this conference means a lot.
We are proud to have become part of this historic conference, however modest our participation is. We have always believed in this cause espoused by TMI, the very reason why we have put up our own country chapter here. We hope that in the future, more country chapters will be put up apart from the Philippines and ours.

It is my singular honor to greet the delegates, participants, and speakers of the 2007 International Conference on Ilokano and Amianan Literatures and Cultures. I understand that for the first time, this international conference is being convened by multiple parties and organizations led by the Ilokano Language and Literature Program of the University of Hawai`i at Manoa. Other organizations that are assisting or co-sponsoring this event include the GUMIL Hawai`i (Gunglo Dagiti Mannurat nga Ilokano iti Hawai`i), the Timpuyog Dagiti Mannurat nga Ilokano-Filipinas, the Timpuyog Dagiti Mannurat nga Ilokano-Amerika, the Timpuyog Dagiti Mannurat nga Ilokano-Global, the Annak ti Kailokuan iti Amerika, the Nakem Conferences Inc., the Nakem Conferences Philippines, the International Academy for Ilokano and Amianan Studies, the Philippine Studies Program of Leeward Community College, the Center for Philippine Studies of the University of Hawai`i, and the Philippine Consulate General of Honolulu.
From my perspective as chair of the Department of Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures that houses the Ilokano Language and Literature Program, I see this initiative as an appropriate way to celebrate the diversity of peoples, cultures, and languages in the state of Hawai`i, the mainland United States, and the Philippines.
It is this unique diversity that we, as educators, must celebrate in and outside of the academic world through collaborations, joint projects, and intellectual exchanges like this conference. In the difficult search for a balance between the needs of heritage communities and the needs and concerns of our global society, it is my hope that this conference may serve as an example of the kinds of continued explorations of identity and celebrations of diversity that we should all strive for.
Kablaawankayo amin. My greetings to all of you.

On behalf of the members and officers of Annak ti Kailokuan iti Amerika, I would like to congratulate all those who are taking part in this historical gathering of creative writers, cultural workers, academics, scholars, researchers, heritage culture advocates, and community leaders.
It is not everyday that we witness a gathering like this. Certainly, this 2007 International Conference on Ilokano and Amianan Literatures and Cultures is a trailblazing effort of so many who realized the need to bring into the open the issues that pertain to the preservation and promotion of our languages, literatures, and cultures from Northern Philippines or Amianan.
I salute those members of the various committees who worked hard to make this event happen. Their dedication and commitment to this concerted effort to exchange and diffuse ideas and knowledge on Ilokano and Amianan writing is laudable.
I wish to commend as well the visitors who are coming to celebrate with us. Likewise, I wish thank our prominent scholars, speakers, academics, and community and government leaders for joining us in this conference. We are certain that in the days to come, this wonderful exchange will bear fruit and will serve as a beacon in the search for a productive direction and strategy to preserving our literatures from the Ilocos, the Cordilleras, and the Cagayan Valley as well as the literatures of the people that descended from the people from these communities.
It is on this note that we express our hope for the future—our hope that Ilokano and Amianan literatures will remain with us whether we have chosen to remain in the homeland or seek a better chance abroad.
Congratulations to all of you!

Still Lifes, Still Nights
When life is still, some mindfulness sets in.
But well, it is a feeling, and it is fleeting. Like that abracadabra you do to yourself when work gets in the way of your creative writing or what passes for one. You remember, of course, your small and big failure, like the two novels you are working on for the last two years or so, with only a number of chapters you have written for each.
One day, on Thursday, you had that faculty ritual of 'tell-all-and-share-all' thing and you were forced to look into your heart and ask that in/famous question: What will I tell? When one is confronted with the possibility that you are speaking before your colleagues, you can only have the jitters, customary as they always are, knowing you are dealing with a brilliant lot and that you cannot fake it if you do not have it. You can only pray in cases like this.

Centennial Kick-Off and Our Exilic Lives
Next year, the premier State University, the University of the People which is the University of the Philippines, will mark its 100th year, its cien ano, its maysa a siglo, its sangagasut. At the Hale Koa, that military hotel down on Waikiki, at least as far as we Hawai`i are concerned, served as the venue for that kick-off, with no less than Dr Francisco Nemenzo dishing out his usual wit and wisdom on the state of the venerable university where tolerating contradictions is a viritue. I should know: contradictions abounded during the days that I was there, first as a student of philosophy, and then as a faculty member where I had had the chance to mold young minds, some of them becoming political leaders and artistas and social liabilities.
But back to the celebration today, at the Hale Koa, this October 21.
I have a vague recollection of where this Hale Koa is so I did my homework: that usual mapquest that proved to be useless, at least for my purposes today. So I told myself: got to work on the old-fashioned tsamba-tsamba route to Ala Moana, which I did, with Dr Lilia Santiago navigating me which route should I take, she who has just come to Hawai`i and has stayed for just more than a month. But this is not the point of the story: the point is that the affair was well-attended by the intellectual resources of this State, at least from an arrogant UP perspective. Yes, there is arrogance in there, that abominable word that could become the cornerstone of UP identity when a UP alumnus is pushed against the wall. It is like name-dropping and no other. As they say in Waipahu where I live: 'Same ting, same ting!'
Being a new relocatee is a boon: you can have a surplus of excuses--and sometimes, you can get away with it with a spotlessly clean conscience. Nagganas ti agbalin a bagamundo: to be a vagabond is something--it gives you all the apriori alibis, ha!
But then this: to be a relocatee is also a bane: You look so stupid before the people who have taken roots in the islands, them who know all, from alibis to chismis to the latest insane deed of an animal-about-time. There you go, that word. The animal could have been a brute, following the order of the philosophical taxonomy of Aristotle's De Anima where people are believed to be have those hylemorphic components that are inseparable but also two: the hyle and the morphe, the body and the soul, the body and soul, the body-soul.
This is what the kick-off is all about, I thought--this going after the 'anima' of the UP alumni who ran away from the country for innumerable reasons, one of them, obviously, is their inability to become witness to the dark theatre in the homeland.

Children and Courage from a Distance: An Exile's Viewpoint
This is self-serving: it is about children. In a more specific sense, it is about my children as I look at them from afar. It is this distance that affords my this view--and the view is particular, personal, with the emotions pent-up.
First, the first born. I call him to do many things for me, like laying out flyers I need in my work of running a heritage program thousands of miles away from home. In the last few years, the son has begun to understand what linguistic democracy is all about, what cultural justice is all, and what is that intricate connection between these and the issues of human rights.
It pays that in college, he wrote a philosophy thesis on language, and on the national language for that matter. That experience made him see some of the things I was blabbering about long before he realized that something is awfully wrong about the 'national' language concept of the homeland, with that privileging that has been accorded to only one language while the rest of the languages are made to languish in that imprisoning reality of 'nation' and 'nationalism.'
I talk to him. I tell him to go to that linguistics seminar in Baguio. He tells me: Yes, I am thinking. And then he says: "Pero kailangan kong tapusin ang mga grade ng mga bata."
Maituloyto... (mapanak pay agsagad iti bulbulong...)

Sangagasut/Cien/Siglo
Sangagasut/Cien/Siglo
(Written for the 100th year of the founding of the University of the Philippines, 1908-2008)
The years are a sangagasut
& so are the memories.
The years & the memories
Remain with us, in us & it is Time
Now we accept as our inheritance,
This time as eternal as
The stories we tell each other
The histories we make & unmake
To demand from the magic moments
We imagine to renew, peculiar &
Final they are such as these cien years
We are heir to. We carry the weight
Of this siglo on our alumni’s shoulders.
We bear its terrors & surprises
So we can sing to the generations
Who have yet to tell us their names,
Their fears, sorrows, circumstances.
Will they stay? Or will they also leave
Like us, like those who cannot remember
The road to forgetting that which calls
Us all into life, into that which means so much
Because the daily truth is out there, in the distances
Away from it all, this contract with books,
Teachers, revolution, democracy, justice,
Political free-fall & free loves too
& that search & re-search for the nation,
Constant as constant can be
With no tense but the present refusing
The illogic of a past or a future?
Some have left the awaiting man
Naked in the glory of his innocence
Or knowledge he has yet to have.
(Forgive the gendering here: the allusion
Is in the verse of the new poem we have yet to write.
Maybe a hundred years more or so—or call
That the long road to the redemption of the pagilian
Also known as our salvation, first person plural.)
The icon, still in the entrances everywhere,
Is in the head now. He takes residence there,
In our wild visions, resisting all there is to forget.
He could be everyone: the iskolar ti ili
With a commitment to the rising sun,
Or to the moon in its full glow
Or to the seas over here dividing
Those who left and those left behind
But uniting them in the decades multiplied
& then weaving together the days of years
We keep in our hearts. Blessed be,
We pray. Blessed be unto the children
Of a century of fiery loves.

Dakami dagiti babbai idi kalman
Dakami dagiti rinanggasan ni Adan!

Malagipko ti barriomi a barrio ti marigrigat.
W-15
Ket immay ni Pedring, iti Hawai`i a nagbalin
Inggayangna ti gayangna iti kakaisuna a hardin.
W-16
Diak ammo ti sarsaritaek, diak ammo ti pakasaritaan.

Nangputot met kadagiti kari a kasingin ti pannakalibay.
W-17
Langgong, kunana.

Ket agsalata kadagiti rabii a sardam.

Ket agsaksi dagiti ules ken pungan
Nga agsaksi met laeng iti sabali manen
A kanibusanan: manalpaak ti idda
Iti sabali manen a ranggas.
W-25
Lagipek dagiti aldaw

Ket makitak dagiti matay a bituen
Bulan, saning-i, aldaw.
W-28
Ngem kas iti nepnep
Manglangan met iti kalgaw.
Iti barukong, adda panagpagunggan.

Amin nga ibit nga awanan nagan!

Ket kunaek kenka: gibusantan
Ti ranggas, amin, amin a ranggas.

Buyaek ti nepnep.
Sibuganna ti natingrag a daga.

Iti natingrag a daga
Dita nga ibulosko amina a lua.

Dara ti Kurrarayan
(Pakauna a Palawag:
Impatulod ti dati nga adalak iti seminario daytoy a daniw, maysa nga adalan a nabayagen a di nakita: agarup 15 a tawen ngata wenno nasursurok pay. Numan pay masirmatak daydi nga agtutubo, diakon ammo ti langana ita ta kunana ket naestaduan kanon ken addaanen iti dua a putot nga agpada a mangtawid iti apiliedona, segun iti e-mailna kaniak ita nga aldaw, ti kaunnaan nga e-mailna iti las-ud ti dayta a tawen a di panagkita. Ngem sursurotenka iti pappapaman, kinunana pay: manipud iti Tarrance, California, sa ditan Hawaii, sa iti Nakem, sa IAS.
Awan ngatan ti makasagid iti rikna no di daytay pananglagip mismo ti adalan kadagiti babassit-usit a kinaimbag (saanen a lagipen ti kinarungsot iti klase ken ti kina-terror ta kasta ngarud ti awagda kadakami no kasta nga adu ti paubrami) ti maysa a nanumo a manursuro nga agar-arapaap nga adda maisurona.
Gapu ta agsubli dagitoy nga adalan--kas iti panagsubli kaniak ni Florentino Lorenzana wenno Ka Loren, ipatok lattan nga adda bassit naibatik iti panunotda ket daytan ti pamkuatak nga agyaman. Dinaniwannak pay ti adalan--ket iburayko ngarud daytoy a daniw a nakariknaak iti ray-a, rag-o, ragsak. Agyamanak unay, Ka Loren.)
Dara ti Kurrarayan
(para kenni Dr. Aurelio S. Agcaoili)
Ala agwarsika iti bagas.
Iramanmo pay dagiti ibu ken itta
Kasta met dagiti batbato a naiwawa.
Dita ruangan, didiay tawa,
Uray didiay paraangan
Ken idiay Malakaniang.
Ditoy bukot, duri, ken dapan
Iridismo dagiti pagbuniag nga asin.
Itanamitimmo dagiti arasaas
A naadalmo diay Anggaki.
Iparabawmo dagiti liningta
Nga itlog kadagiti ungot.
Dimo liplipatan ti anglem
A barabad ti sugat.
Iti panagatang ket ti panangiyayab:
“Ay, maykan! Ay, maykan!”
Maibitin dagiti lagip a masukdal,
Mairikus kadagiti bantay ken kadan-aran
Ket maiparakupok ti dara ti kurrarayan.
Maipupok ti buok iti alipuspos
Ngem, rumkuas dagiti gapu:
Iti baba ti alipuspos ket ti ranget
A maulit-ulit, di agressat
Uray iti agsipnget.
Adda diskurso iti angin
Ket wen, ti kurrarayan
Ti umuna a maidadanes.
