๐๐„๐–๐’ ๐…๐„๐€๐“๐”๐‘๐„ l MMSU Teacher Makes History: Receives the First Gawad Urian Nomination as the Best Documentary Film

โ€œNaisangsangayan a Daga (Extraordinary Soil)" by Mr. Melver Ritz Gomez, teacher instructor and Ilocano filmmaker at MMSU, receives its first ever Gawad Urian Nominee Award as the Best Documentary Film. The said film is about the master traditional pottery makers of San Nicolas, which stemmed from witnessing the sacrifices and passion of Nana Crisanta and Nana Benjamina in making pots.

The said film made its way to the list of nominees as the Best Documentary Film for the 46th Gawad Urian, held on Thursday, November 30, 2023, at the UP Film Studio, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. Also present at the event are famous Filipino actors and actresses such as John L. Cruz, Max Eigenman, Jaime Fabregas, Soliman Cruz, and other famous director nominees and actors.

Observing Nana Crisanta and Nana Benjamina's dedication to continuing their craft despite its challenges and the significant effort it demands, especially considering their age, compelled Mr. Gomez to engage in conversations with them. Delving into their narratives and personal experiences in the art of making pots. Embarking passion is integral to infusing authenticity and depth into the storytelling process.

Truly, the film deserves to be on the list considering its unique preparations behind the scenes. It involved visiting them without cameras, aiming to establish a genuine connection. Moreover, conversations were approached with simplicity and openness, fostering a rapport crucial for documentary filmmaking.

โ€œBeing among the nominees feels incredibleโ€”a mix of excitement and honor. Being nominated is actually a dream, not only for filmmakers but also for actors in both independent and mainstream films. There are national artists who were nominated and awarded in Gawad Urian, such as Nora Aunor, Ishmael Bernal, Lino Brocka, and other industry greats. This feels surreal for a regional filmmaker like me to be on the roster of nominees,โ€ Mr. Gomez said.

The Gawad Urian Award is one of the most prestigious awards that a filmmaker can receive here in the Philippines. It is an annual film award presented since 1977 by the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino, a film critic organization composed of critics, writers, and scholars that is the only major award-giving body in the Philippines to use the vernacular โ€œGawad Urian,โ€ which means โ€œa standard for a gold award.".

Being nominated for this event is already a big achievement, not just for Mr. Gomez but also for the whole population of Ilocanos. As a matter of fact, โ€œNaisangsangayan a Dagaโ€ is the first ever film by Pelikula Ilocana to be nominated for the Gawad Urian. Thus, this is a significant milestone for the rise of Ilocano culture because the filmโ€™s message is so much more than its aesthetic value but also a way to bring everyone an enriched experience to witness the Ilocanosโ€™ very own time-honored craft and learn about their invaluable cultural heritage, showing the whole world the beauty of Ilocanos cultural heritage and unique diversity.

Mr. Gomez also encourages aspiring young filmmakers out there to write and tell stories that matter and contribute to the preservation of our Ilokano identity. Reiterating that the duty of a writer and a filmmaker extends beyond mere entertainment rather; it's about promoting and preserving our culture through the medium of film. This becomes the battle cry in our production: Panangitandudo iti Kultura ken Tradision Babaen iti Pelikula Ilokana.

He also added, โ€œWhile recognitions are a bonus, the essence lies in the profound act of sharing our unique Ilokano narratives.โ€
As Mr. Gomez said, โ€œTuloy ang pagkukuwento. We have a lot of stories to tell.โ€

Rice stands as a fundamental pillar, gracing tables across the archipelago. However, beyond its culinary significance, rice takes on a unique role in the realm of beauty rituals for some indigenous communities. Ingeniously crafted into a fine powder, it transforms into a skincare secret when mixed with water or other natural elements. This resulting paste is delicately applied to the face and body, offering a gentle exfoliation that sweeps away dead skin cells and unveils a rejuvenated, smoother complexion. Believed to possess brightening effects, rice powder exemplifies the multifaceted nature of this grain, seamlessly weaving its way into both culinary and cosmetic traditions.

The incorporation of rice powder into beauty practices reflects the resourcefulness of indigenous communities, where nature's gifts are harnessed for holistic well-being. This age-old tradition not only attests to the cultural interplay between food and skincare but also highlights the profound connection these communities maintain with their natural surroundings. As rice, a symbol of sustenance, nourishes bodies from within, its application in skincare rituals symbolizes a harmonious relationship with the environment. In this celebration of Filipino heritage, rice emerges as a versatile ally, embodying the fusion of tradition, sustainability, and a timeless pursuit of beauty.

by Jomallene Martinez

As the first rays of the morning sun gracely danced through the window, I found myself disinclined, awoken by the rooster's high pitch coo. With sleep still bonding to my droopy eyes, I stretched my arm with a lackadaisical poise.

With feet delicately touching the sumptuousness of the thick woven carpet, my soles embraced, sending tiny vibrations through the fibres. A texture entwined with strands of warm cinnamon and chestnut, creating a sensation of walking upon nature's cozy tapestry.

Outside seemed to be awakening alongside me, with the sky still draped in a soft blanket of purple. Slowly transitioning into a soothing palette of pastel hues, making way for fragments of warm golden light to stream in.

There I sighted a slow approach towards the porch, in a spiral shaped greyish hair just above her shoulders. Clothed in a loose flowy dress, with vibrant print extending through her legs; Oh, my grandmother, in her favorite duster.

Her right hand clenching through a transparent container, clouded my thoughts onto various guesses. As she became nearer and nearer, atlas, It really was. I was my favorite, my favorite snack.

Welcomed with a wide smile, I extended my arms as she passed the transparent box. I opened it. With each breath, I inhaled the mingling aroma, I was pulsed with energy that only the dawn could evoke. A delicate symphony of sights, sounds, and scents, painting the canvas of my senses.

Tapuy, a splendid culinary delight of us Igorots, vaunts an enthralling title as it divulges its enticing sweetness to the fortunate buds. From the dazzling combination of glutinous rice and the indigenous starter "bubud", This delectable snack embarks in a transformative voyage of fermentation, exquisite dancing with time for several days.

The true grandeur of Tapuy unveils itself when it is granted the privilege of aging for months, evolving into a harmony of flavors. Yet, it eludes the traditional boundaries, harmoniously straddling the realms of a wine and an exquisite food creation. With a short fermentation period of a mere 3-4 days, it presents itself as the exemplar of a delectable snack, overflowing with flavors that entice the senses.

By Gene' Louisse P. Miguel

Imagine the crippling fear that comes with traversing the cold, ruthless wind. The marching of countless footsteps on the surface of the grassy earth matched the rhythm of a child's panic-stricken heartbeat. A mother's quivering whisper serves as a desperate attempt to calm her children as she wipes her youngestโ€™s tears with the hem of her lufid. Minutes later, the silence of the night is penetrated by the horrific screams that echo through the once-known equable village, as scorching fires will soon reign over the conquered land, bright red blood will smear the purest of waters, and women and their children will be subjected to wicked slavery and torture. It was most certainly a living hell for everyone who lived during 1942, as the howl of bloodbath foretold the fate that dawned in the cry of war.

Violence rooted in the acts of Japanese soldiers in World War II forced an expression of horror across the countries in Asia, and not a single soul was spared from their distasteful gestures in the form of dominion cruelty. It is with impudence that they announced the war that took history winding into a flurry of archival context, in which people of every race, culture, and background were harmed and stripped naked of their right to live. This influenced the history of people in the Philippines whose contributions are remotely forgotten in this recent age. It is within this context that we pay tribute by acknowledging these heroes who risked everything for the land of which they promised their blood would befall.

The role of mountaineers People who live in mountain ranges in the Philippines have a world different from those who live in stagnant lands. They abide by a much more pronounced way of livingโ€”upon which their culture, set of beliefs, traditions, and justice systems were cultivated in such a way thatโ€™s entirely their own, untouched by the nuances of anotherโ€™s culture. These people, particularly in Luzon, are known as the Igorot, whose name derives from the words of the Austronesian language, which means โ€œmountain peopleโ€. When the Japanese came invading the natives' territories, the soldiers were faced with an unexpected sense of defeat: bloodbath.

Unbeknownst to them, the Igorots are masked as mountaineers who enjoy their way of living, which is pictured vividly through their calmness in finding the joy of being alive and basking in the serene beauty of nature. Behind that mask that presents them as nature's people, they are notoriously known as deadly headhunters. By the end of World War II, Gen. Douglas MacArthur remarked on a sense of gratitude and respect for the Igorot soldiers of the Cordillera region who gambled the price of their lives to fight for the Philippines' sovereignty. He outwardly described them as gallant, as they found themselves reigning over their own battlegrounds against the Japanese. It is with pride that it is found in their culture and in their blood to be natural warriors and protectors of the Philippines.

Women, what about them? Divine as she steps out of her tent with a newfound sense of determination to avenge her fatherโ€™s death, Kumander Liwayway takes out a black compartment from the hollows of her pockets and brings it to her lips, painting the pair with a bright red shade that emitted a stricken reaction from the rest of them. With a coldness that brazenly struck her bones, she traded all of her prized face powders for ones that old men would put in guns that pointed to the head. Because of her fatherโ€™s death, Basilio Gomez, the vice mayor of Mexico, Pampanga, who was tortured and executed by the Japanese, Remedios Guinto Gomez Paraiso, along with her brother Oscar, joined the Hukbalahap, or Huk Rebellion, a guerilla movement. It was when she joined the rebellion that she earned her infamous name, Kumander Liwayway, which endearingly means โ€œCommander Dawnโ€. She was a figure of femininity in the Philippines because of her poise and candor, and she was a hero who served to fight against the Japanese.


What if a Filipino teacher teaches you, an American soldier, how to silently kill a Japanese soldier with a demonstration of tracing her cold, razor-sharp knife against the beating pulse in your neck? It is admittedly an unexpected yet memorable experience for US Army Pvt. Andrew Lupiba became a student during a short lecture by Nieves Fernandez, a Filipino female guerilla leader, to learn how to be keen on defeating a Japanese with her bolo knife. She distinctively rounded 110 native men, who had a kill count of 200 Japanese soldiers, with the use of knives and shotguns made from gas pipes. Because of this, the Japanese offered a bounty of โ‚ฑ10, 000 for her head because of her skilled leadership to lead the guerilla that defeated the Japanese. Her way of โ€œsilently killingโ€ your enemy came from a rich tribal history in Filipino culture of beheading enemies and doing rituals with their heads. She lived with only a bullet scar on her right forearm during the Second World War and lived long enough to tell her story.

Filipino heroes somehow find themselves in a limited number to bask under the spotlight of the historical stage, but it is within written accounts of archives that glorify and put respect under the names of those who are deemed โ€œforgottenโ€. To acknowledge and honor their journey of fear, torture, bravery, determination, courage, and hope amidst the cruel invasion of the Japanese army that started World War II means to salute the whole of the Philippines and its countrymen for the battle of fighting for liberty and freedom they had to endure and suffer from. For Filipino natives, they were resilient enough to fight for their ownโ€”in which they fought in the best way they could, by integrating pieces of their culture and background to fight for their country.

The fear of emptiness

Somehow, Filipinos have this need to fill up all the spaces they see.
A typical Filipino household catches its visitors off guard with walls helplessly carrying hanging shelves, picture frames, heavy medallions, paintings, and whatever possible things that can be pasted on a flat vertical surface. Then, there will be more trinkets once you open a varnished cabinet found in their living room. Often times, their refrigerators are filled with a variety of magnets, and their bookshelves are filled with not just books and photo albums but stuffed animals too.

Having said that, this modern age has caused minimalism to take over. And yes, I have tried to be a minimalist as well because it is more clean to look at, they say. But I always end up cluttering my space, adding more random things to my desk, and keeping sentimental items in every nook and cranny, which results in a bombarded area to work in. Nevertheless, it has a vibe. I love each of the tiny details that say something about myself.

Despite that, this is more of a shared experience among Filipinos. I am glad it is not a diagnosis indicating the fact that I cannot let go of things or that I am extremely materialistic or someone who is burara. Although there may be some truth to those,
Professor Felipe M. De Leon Jr., chair of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, once studied this behavior of the Filipinos and said, โ€œThe common Filipino is a maximalist, filling up every available space with forms and things. It springs from an expressive exuberance deeply rooted in emotional sensitivity and the strong urge to connect.โ€ I think that stirred something in me as a Filipino myself.

This gaudy maximalism creates a harmonious environment filled with specific elements arranged in an orderly, chaotic way, which may mean one thing or another. And no, this is not only applied within the insides of houses but also in cars, jeepneys, tricycles, bags, wallets, the back of a phone or a laptop, public areas, even in festivities, and many other aspects managed by a Filipino.

There is a saying that โ€œless is moreโ€ but for a common Filipino, โ€œmore is moreโ€. It is as if, for them, having more is a sign of status. Having spaces filled with absence is like a sign of deprivation, and the presence of many things is a sign of abundance.

Or maybe the Filipino blood has sentimentality and nostalgia flowing through it. They tend to become hoarders when it comes to items that signify a certain moment or milestone in their lives. It is funny how some of their framed pictures have an overlapping picture in front of them that was slipped into the corner of the frame. It is like a memory over a memory over a memory. We also tend to treasure the souvenirs and gifts we have that we display in order to remind us of people and occasions. Hence, we collect so much of what we call abubot and burloloy that we find it hard to discard. Sometimes, I even wonder where I will pack this โ€œimportantโ€ stuff I own if ever there is a fire. Letโ€™s just hope that wonโ€™t happen for anyone.

You see, there is also an implication from Architect Clarissa M. Lorenzo, who says that Filipinos developed the need to acquire more than the necessities whenever possible. There is a sense of security knowing one may be able to retain even a little of what they have in case they go through a detrimental event. In some way, I relate to this too, since I keep some things for future purposes. We hold onto these keepsakes until they break because, for us, that is practicality.

I think maximalism portrays the mind of a person because a mind surely does not have simplicity in it. It materializes oneโ€™s thoughts and feelings, manifesting a reflection of ourselves. We, Filipinos, value every space we see, and we find an opportunity to put a little something of ourselves into it. We unapologetically connect with others through shameless expressiveness. This โ€˜aesthetic of excessโ€™ is deeply inclined to our emotionality, and these objects we hold ensconce our sentiments, immortalizing a bit about ourselves.

Horror vacui. Filipinos fear emptiness and live for abundance. The sheer amount of detail we put into a space depicts the beauty of their passionate, relentless souls. We are often stereotyped as loud, and we could not even deny that with our cultureโ€™s flamboyance. No doubt, with every pattern, color, brightness, and fun, we create a homeland that echoes warmth, comfort, and intimacy.

The iconic Bangui Windmills, one of the largest wind farms in Southeast Asia, were believed by some locals to have supernatural powers. There were stories of people claiming to have experienced good luck or strange occurrences after spending time near these gigantic wind turbines. How about you? Did you ever experience the same after visiting these windmills?

To scurry through the willows of darkness is not at all terrifying once the flicker of light allows itself to ignite embers of radiance to guide our path. For during the second of November, it is the duty of the living to remember and cherish those who have departed from this world, reminiscing about the moments of which they were once filled with the vibrant colors and motions of life. With the flicker of a million candles, our loved ones and the souls in purgatory seek the warmth of our celebration of love, gratitude, and hope for them.

During All Soulsโ€™ Day, may we be the luminance of our loved ones and all of the faithful departed, in which we gather our dedication for commemoration into one guiding light, praying that they may find strength in attaining peace and salvation for themselves. Because if ever a soul comes knocking, we must learn to not be afraidโ€”but let ourselves be kind enough to offer them a prayer as warm as a candle and as strong enough to fight the band of shadows during nightfall. Let us return the favor on this solemn day, to be their guide in the memory of the lives they once lived and to illuminate our love for them once more.
