The program of SINAG's celebration of National Arts Month on February was discussed. Included in the program is contests on different forms of art (visual arts, dance, music, poetry and more). A copyright education seminar is also slated for the writers and artists of Antipolo to be held on February 10 at the Cloud 9 Hotel, Brgy. Sta. Cruz. FILCOLS will give a talk on copyright basics.


The proposed Memorandum of Agreement for automatic membership of SINAG to FILCOLS was also discussed. The officers of SINAG found it amenable and the signing of the MOA is now being scheduled.

FILCOLS Members from Naga Launch Two Books of Bikol Translations




Ateneo de Naga opens university press, launches 2 books of Bikol translations

Naga City—The Ateneo de Naga University opens 2012 with the formal
opening of its university press by launching books of translations in
Bikol by two of the region's noted contemporary writers. When it is
launched on Friday, January 20, 2012, the AdNU Press is the newest
addition to the list of academic publishing centers in the country.

Fr. Wilmer Joseph S. Tria, AdNU Press Director, discloses that one of
its goals is to become the premier resource of Bikoliana in the world.
As an academic publishing house, AdNU Press is open to all who are
interested to have a manuscript published. Fr. Tria further adds that
optimum quality of materials to be published is a primary requirement,
and, therefore, as practiced by university presses worldwide, all
submitted manuscripts will be subjected to necessary evaluations.

The opening of the press will feature the launch of two books of
translations in Bikol of the works of John Donne, the renowned 16th
century English metaphysical poet, and the German-Austrian poet Rainer
Maria Rilke.

"Doros asin mga Anghel (Air and Angels)," authored by FILCOLS member Victor Dennis T.
Nierva, is a collection of 53 of Donne's poems from his various
compendiums. The book notably includes Bikol translations of all of
Donne's Holy Sonnets. "Doros" is Nierva's second book after
"Antisipasyon (Anticipation)" which won the National Book Award for
Poetry in 2008.

"Minatubod Ako sa Diklom (I Have Faith in Night)," an anthology
comprised of 49 of Rilke's poems translated in Bikol, is the fourth
book of the award-winning poet and FILCOLS member Kristian Sendon Cordero. "Minatubod" includes selections from Rilke's distinguished works, such as "Das
Buch vom mönchischen Leben (The Book of Monastic Life)" and "Das Buch
von der Pilgerschaft (The Book of Pilgrimage)."

In his introduction to Nierva's "Doros," award-winning Bikolano
fictionist and literary scholar, Dr. Carlos O. Aureus considers the
book as a "tour de force of a translation [with its] fusion of wit and
passion, the abrupt entrances, the dislocations, ironies and
paradoxes, the air-tight syntaxes, the inner disquiets both sacred and
sensual, the metaphysical conceits. [Doros] is not a translation of
Donne; [it] is John Donne writing in Bicol."

Cordero's "Minatubod," is likewise commended in its introduction by
the Nagueño Philosophy professor Rey Francis M. Hernandez: "One can
say that a feat such as this anthology is neither for the faint of
heart nor for the standardly courageous. It seems to be destined only
for those who have the foolhardiness, the reckless boldness, that
is—and for all its irony—proper only to the poet."

Nierva and Cordero are both faculty members of the AdNU College of
Arts and Sciences, under the Departments of Media Studies and Social
Sciences, respectively.

The January 20 occasion will be highlighted by a lecture on
contemporary academic publishing by Maricor E. Baytion, Director of
the Ateneo de Manila University Press, at 3pm. After the lecture, at
4:30pm, book launch ceremonies will follow. The event will be held at
the second floor of AdNU's O'Brien Library. (ADNUP)

Bob Ong on E-book, piracy, copyright, reproduction of books and more

Mula sa Frequently Asked Questions
(Bob Ong Pinoy for Dummies)

Q: Totoo bang may E-book version ang mga libro ni BO?
A: Kung meron man, ilegal na mga kopya; walang kabayaran na natatanggap si BO at walang donasyon na napupunta sa mga organisasyon na umaasa sa tulong ng mga mambabasa. Hindi sinusuportahan ni BO ang E-books dahil aksaya lang sa natural resources ang pagkain nito ng kuryente. Sa pagtangkilik ng E-books, tinatalikuran mo ang pagkakataong makatulong sa mga kapuspalad, ninanakawan mo maging ang likas na yaman ng planeta, at pinagkakaitan mo ng pasasalamat ang isang poging Filipino author. Hindi ka cool, at bagay sayo ang pangalang Lucifer.

Q: Gusto sana naming i-review o i-publish ang isang bahagi ng libro para sa aming magazine o website, paano ba kami hihingi ng permiso?
A: Ipaalam lang sa book_inquiry[at]visprint.net. Paalala po na hindi lang "isang bahagi ng libro" ang pagkopya mula page 9 hanggang page 26.

Q: Gusto sana naming gumawa ng mga t-shirt, sticker, payong, at mga wallclock na may design ng BobongPinoy at Bob Ong Books, pwede ba yon?
A: Hindi po. Ang Bobong Pinoy, kasama na ang pabalat at nilalaman ng mga libro ni Bob Ong, ay copyright materials na hindi maaaring gamitin sa anumang produkto nang walang nasusulat na permiso mula sa may-ari.

Q: Gusto ko sanang gamitin ang mga libro ni BO para sa assignment sa school, paano ba ko hihingi ng permiso?
A: Kung gagawan mo lang ng buod o illustration o mga bagay na tulad nito, at hindi mo naman ire-reproduce ang libro para i-distribute sa ibang tao, di mo na kailangan humingi ng permiso. Basta't isaad lang ang pangalan ng libro, author, at publisher sa iyong trabaho bilang acknowledgment, at magbayad ng kalahating milyong piso bilang donasyon.

Ito ay ni-repost mula sa http://www.visprint.net/publications/bob/faq.htm
nang may pahintulot mula kay Mam Nida G. Ramirez ng Visprint.

PUBLISHING IN PAJAMAS: HOW I SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED MY BOOKS TO THE WORLD.

KUTING (Kuwentista ng mga Tsikiting) led by FILCOLS Member Lalaine Yanilla-Aquino invites all FWGP Pending Members to attend PUBLISHING IN PAJAMAS: HOW I SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED MY BOOKS TO THE WORLD.

In a year, it sold over 5,000 copies, made it to the "hot new releases" charts on Amazon UK, and was reviewed by readers in the US, Australia, Japan, and the Philippines. In this talk, she shares how she did it, and what the experience taught her about ebooks, independent publishing, and international readers.

Limited seating. Please reserve your slot by texting Ime through 0917-9378617. Entrance fee of P100 includes light snacks.

Ang Simula ng Katapusan

5 Enero 2012

Buhay na Titik
ni Alvin Buenaventura ng FILCOLS

Ayon sa propesiya na nagmula sa sibilisasyong Maya (hindi ito iyong ibon, ha?) ang mundo ay matatapos na sa Disyembre 21, 2012. Kaya pagpasok ng bagong taon na 2012 ay umpisa na ng countdown papunta sa end of the world. Dapat mo itong ibalita sa biyenan mo.

Ang mga Maya (hindi nga ibon) ay tumubo at nanirahan sa Central America noong 250 – 900 AD. Inobserbahan ng kanilang mga pantas ang galaw ng mga star, Nag-therefore conclude sila na magkakaroon ng isang worldwide event na tatapos sa ating mundo.

Isinulat nila ang mga propesiya sa pamamagitan ng pag-ukit ng mga simbolo sa bato. Ang mga simbolo naman ay isinalin ng mga Espanyol noong sakupin nila ang kontinente ng Amerika.

Ang mga teksto ng propesiya ay lumaganap at nagbigay-daan para magkaroon ng mga nobela, pseudo-scientific books, at pelikula. Meron ding gumawa ng TV specials para ipakita sa mga manonood ang mga puwedeng mangyari sa end of the world.

Posible raw na banggain tayo ng asteroid o bato mula sa outer space. Posible ring maluto tayo sa solar flares o malunod sa worldwide flood (ala Noah). Posible ring maging zombie ang lahat ng kapitbahay mo. (Siyempre, dapat ikaw lang ang survivor).

Dahil sa isinulat ng mga Maya (hindi nga ang ibon), naging masigla ang business ng mga nagsusulat tungkol dito. Marami ang nakabenta ng libro, maraming artista at producer ang kumita dahil sa kanilang mga pelikula at mga palabas sa TV.

Marami ring mga nagsamantala rito. May mga nagtatag ng kulto at kung ano-anong samahan para makuha ang mga property at pera ng mga miyembro nila. Tutal end of the world na nga naman, aanhin pa nila ang mga property at pera nila? (Hmmm, kung ano ang gagawin ng lider ng kulto sa mga nakuhang kayamanan, di na natin malalaman kasi patay na tayo…pero milagrong buhay pa si lider).

Kung tutuusin, ang lahat naman talaga ay may katapusan. Nothing lasts forever. At ang simpleng ideyang ito ang naging dahilan para magkaroon ng inspiration ang authors, scriptwriters, producers, at mga negosyante.

Me simpleng idea ka ba? Palawakin mo para maging isang libro, tula, nobela, o script ng pelikula. Ito na ang simula. At siyempre, ‘wag mong kalimutan na hingin ang mana mo sa biyenan mo. Kasi end of the world na, di ba?

Inaanyayahan ang mga awtor, publisher, o tagapagmana ng copyright na sumali sa FILCOLS. Ito’y para mabigyang proteksiyon ang kanilang mga akda. Kailangan lamang ay mayroon kayong published works kung kayo ay awtor/publisher o nasa inyo ang kapangyarihang mag-manage kung heirs kayo ng awtor. Wala pong membership fee. Kung may tanong hinggil sa tinalakay na paksa, mag-email lamang sa filcols@gmail.com.

Call for Submission of Manuscripts to the 51st Silliman University National Writers Workshop.

The Silliman University National Writers Workshop is now accepting applications for the 51st National Writers Workshop to be held April 30 to May 18, 2012 in the Silliman University Rose Lamb Sobrepeña Writers Village.



This Writers Workshop is offering fifteen fellowships to promising writers who want to have a chance to hone their craft and refine their style. Fellows will be provided housing, a modest stipend, and a subsidy to partially defray costs of their transportation.



To be considered, applicants should submit manuscripts in English on or before 10 February 2012. All manuscripts should comply with the instructions stated below. (Failure to do so will automatically eliminate their entries):


■Manuscripts should be submitted in hard copy on short-size bond paper, using Times New Roman or Calibri in 12 pt. font type.


■Applicants for Fiction and Creative Non-Fiction fellowships should submit three to five entries. Applicants for Poetry fellowships should submit seven to ten poems.


■Applicants for Drama fellowship should submit at least a One-Act Play. For plays beyond the one-act length, a scene accompanied by a synopsis of the entire work should be included.


■Each fiction, non-fiction, or drama manuscript should not be more than 50 pages, double spaced. We encourage you to stay well below the 50 pages, since a submission half that length is more than sufficient as a critical gauge.


■Manuscripts should be accompanied by at least one letter of recommendation from a literature professor or an established writer.



Along with the manuscripts and the recommendation letter, the following requirements should also be included: resume, a notarized certification that the works are original, and two 2X2 ID pictures.
