Its clever pacing makes way for vivid details, making us flies on the wall of the family’s tale of hardships in the fields. Like sticky notes posted all over the house, Mang Karyas and Aling Asyang repeatedly tell Kiyel not to be a farmer when he grows up.

Eventually, Kiyel gets the privilege of graduating with a college degree. When he’s set to come home to his hometown and meet his parents again, Mang Karyas is on the edge of his seat wanting to see how Kiyel finally made it in life. However, hell breaks loose when Kiyel reveals he took up agriculture. Painful and raw, this story highlights how farmers in the Philippines are unrecognized and deprived of a good life.

While buying a graduation gift for her favorite kid at the market, Aling Marta finds out that her wallet is missing. As she feels her pockets, a scene from minutes ago replays: A young boy—wearing grubby jeans and a torn shirt—bumped her on the way. Well, that’s what’s going on in her mind at least. But we could tell you it was purely an accident.

You could guess what happens next. Aling Marta storms off, confronts the kid and threatens the life out of him. It was probably the most stressful four (or five or six) hours of their lives. But the wildness of this story isn’t just rooted in its plot twists. It’s also in the hard truth it offers to the readers because, yeah, we’ve all judged each other a little too much. But “Ang Kalupi” tells us that empathy should win over. Society’s prejudice about the lower class is more horrifying than we think.

Naimbitahan kasi siya sa isang kasalan. Ang ikinasal ay ang kanyang matalik na kaibigan na nag-ngangalang Filip. Marami ang naging bisita dito, mayroong mga turista ding dumating dahil ang matalik na kaibigan ni Lino ay may kaya. Kaya ang mga dumalo dito ay mukhang may mga kaya rin. Ipinakilala ni Filip si Lino sa mga bisita nito. "Nice to meet you!", sabi ng Amerikano. Si Lino ay napatulala na lamang at hindi nakakibo. "What's your name?", ang sabi muli ng Amerikano. Si Lino ay wala pa ring kibo at nagtataka siya sa mga sinasabi nitong Amerikano. Hindi kasi niya alam ang mga ibig sabihin ng lahat ng iyon. Siya ay purong Pilipino. Sadyang Wikang Filipino lang talaga ang kaya niyang intindihin at unawain. Nasabi na lamang niya sa kanyang sarili na, "Basta! Masaya ako sa kung ano ang mayroon ako ngayon. Ipagmamalaki ko ang Wikang Filipino".

The Marcos era in the ’70s is a dark chapter in Philippine history. No one dares to speak against the government for fear of execution – in some cases, bodies are not even retrieved. Hence, it has been a tumultuous period, especially for the Filipino parents to protect their kids from the oppressive regime and at the same time, stand together as one family. Lualhati Bautista has captured true-to-life scenarios in the ’70s, mentioning changes that arose after the Plaza Miranda bombing and the suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus in the Philippines. The novels tells the story of lead protagonist Amanda Bartolome and her family, where she had to deal with facing the law and her responsibilities towards her five sons.]]> 2022-08-26 03:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/estelleeuniceguerra/vtyrw61mju31r333/wish/2272234592 Bangkang Papel by Genoveva Edroza-Matute https://padlet.com/estelleeuniceguerra/vtyrw61mju31r333/wish/2272234596 2022-08-26 03:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/estelleeuniceguerra/vtyrw61mju31r333/wish/2272234596 Sinigang by Marie Aubrey J.
