Ang mga taong nagdaraan dito ay manhik-manaog sa mga cascos sa ilog Pásig upang makabili at maakapagbili. Bawat isa rito ay may sariling pinagkakaabalahan. May nagsusunong ng bilao at nagtitinda ng isda, pindang o kaya’y kakanin. Mayroon sa kanilang inilalatag sa banig ang mga ipinagbibili nilang magagandang sapatos at ang pinakamatitibay nilang pantukos. Sa nasabing kalyeng ito </span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;">minsang nakatayo ang tahanan ni señora </span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;"><b>Ofelia Dimaranan, viuda ni Soliman</b>, at kasama niyang </span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;">nanirahan dito ang kaniyang solong anak na si <b>Darío,</b> na kilala noon sa Quiapo sa mga nakaaabalang bagay-bagay na kaniyang kagagawan. Magkagayunpaman, mahal na mahal siya ng kaniyang ina at hindi tumitigil sa pagsamba-luhod sa simbahan ng Señor at araw-gabing tumatawag sa maawaing Jesús sa pagasang diringgin ang kaniyang hibik at panambitan. Balo si Ofelia sa kaniyang asawa, ilang taon nang nakararaan nang ito’y mamatay sa cólera. Ikinasal sila sa simbahan ng Quiapo at siyang kaloob na pagpapapala ng Señor sa kaniya dahil sa walang-tigil </span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;">niyang pagdarasal.

Kung pagmamasdan siya ngayon, hindi mapaghahalataang isa siyang mayamang mujer. Ang suot niyang barong hinabi sa sinamay at dalawang simpleng manggas, ang sáya niyang panay lamang kulay marrón o kaya’y kupas na pula. Kung siya ma’y magsusuot ng </span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;">pañuelo ay sa tuwing araw lamang ng viernes o kapag siya’y nagsisimba. Noong bata pang maliit itong si Darío, karuy-karoy niya ito sa paglalako o kapag dadalaw nila ng simbahan pagkatapos nilang mamalengke. Si Darío </span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;">naman, napanonood niya kung paano sumusugal ng </span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;">kabuhayan ang kaniyang ina kahiman maalwan na sila, at kapag naglalakad ito nang paluhod sa santuario at </span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;">humihibik sa Panginoon. Kaya kung titingnan natin, </span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;">natanim na sa kaniya ang pagmamahal at takot sa Diyos at ang katotohanan ng kahirapan sa buhay. “Tatandaan mo anak ko, huwag mong katatakutang maghirap, dahil </span><span lang="es" style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt; line-height: 95%;">galing tayo sa hirap.” Ang mga salitang ito ng kaniyang ina ay gumuhit na sa isip niya dahil sa tuwing maglalako sila, lagi itong sambit sa kaniya, pati na ang chismis na ibinabalita ng mga comadres ng nanay niya. Ngunit ang talagang ‘di niya malilimutang salita ay sa tuwing inila-labas ang Señor, nakikipag-unahan pa siya sa pagsigaw: </span><span lang="es" style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 95%;">¡Viva! ¡Viva! ¡Viva!...</span></p>

Madalang na lamang magrosaryo, hindi na rin halos nagsisimba kapag linggo. Kung noon mga cofrades del Nazareno ang kaniyang mga kasa-kasama, ngayo’y kaydalas niyang mag-uwi ng iba’t ibang babae sa bahay nila. Napakalayo na sa dating siya. Ngunit anong magiging dalma ng kaniyang ina, kung hindi manalangin at aralan ang kaniyang anak na tumitiwalag sa marapat. Tila baga isa siyang Santa Mónicang naghihintay ng ikapagbabalik-loob ng kaniyang anak. Kung aari lamang na ihahandog niya bilang pagaamu-amo ang lahat ng misa sa mga altares ng simbahan sa ikapagbabago lamang ng anak niya. Lubhang kaylungkot ni Ofelia sa naging kalagayan ng kaniyang anak. Noong minsan inanyaya niya itong magsimba, sagot nito sa kaniya, “<i>Ikaw na lamang, inay. Hindi panlalaki ang pagsisimba!</i>” Kulang na lamang ay mabasag ang kaniyang puso sa sagot ng anak. Ngunit hinayaan na niya lamang ito sa gusto niya. “<i>Mahal na Señor, Kayo na po ang bahala.</i>” Kailan kaya magbabagong-loob ang anak niya?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 95%; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbfD-v1arZOyKN9p9x2iYeblRxeCLvckAoitBzMgB8_PsjmmlGeYjGiVG6CJXYIoOuTs46G3eM1YA8u3wLXaDqeJOa5fbh6Lzv0b-JqmhiC_JYv5XC-1mwZ3wfJ1WxjR9KbVp6PMUrkdM3mWLO-8EJK32n_9wt_JSgeYi_y-nF6WA1XbqkeBA4PddwRTA/s960/135212781_2539420699691202_6684609829989894344_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="570" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbfD-v1arZOyKN9p9x2iYeblRxeCLvckAoitBzMgB8_PsjmmlGeYjGiVG6CJXYIoOuTs46G3eM1YA8u3wLXaDqeJOa5fbh6Lzv0b-JqmhiC_JYv5XC-1mwZ3wfJ1WxjR9KbVp6PMUrkdM3mWLO-8EJK32n_9wt_JSgeYi_y-nF6WA1XbqkeBA4PddwRTA/s320/135212781_2539420699691202_6684609829989894344_n.jpg" width="190" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 95%; margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-align: justify; text-justify: newspaper; text-justify: newspaper; text-kashida-space: 50%; text-kashida-space: 50%;"><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> <span> </span></span>8 de enero, año mil novecientos cincuenta…</span><span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 11.1pt;"> </span></p>

Ilang minuto na ang lumilipas ngunit hindi pa rin gumagaang ang andas.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Punong
puno ng kolorete ang mukha ng dalagang si Miss Yeyeng. Sabi nila ipinanganak
ang kanyang mga magulang sa sulok ng Pampanga, sa pinakamaliliit na bayan nito.
Dahil dito Pilipina si Miss Yeyeng mula ulo hanggang paa, at kahit sa kadulu-duluhan
ng kanyang buhok, Kapampangan siya.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dahil
mahirap lang sila, pagtitinda ang ikinabubuhay. Nakikita si Miss Yeyeng na
sunong ang ginataan o kaya bitso-bitso na inilalako niya sa mga sugalan.
Nagdalagang walang pagbabago sa buhay nitong binibini.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Natapos
ang rebolusyon. Nagbukas ng paaralan ang pamahalaang militar ng America at dito
pinagturo ang mga sundalong Americano. Nangyaring si Miss Yeyeng pa noo, ala
ang binibini, ay nagkaroon ng suking sundalo. Inakit ng sundalong mag-aral ang
dalaga sa paaralang kanyang pinagtuturuan upang magkaintindihan sila. Sa
kanilang pag-uusap, nag-iingles ang sundalo, nagkaka-pampangan si Miss Yeyeng,
kaya napilitan siyang mag-aral.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Pagkaraan
ng ilang buwan, nagsasalita na ng ingles si Miss Yeyeng, paglipas ng walong
buwan, sa amuki ng gurong kawal, ipinahatid siya sa isang bayang kung siya
pinagtuturo.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Noong
nagtuturo doon, pinahinga niya ang taumbayan dahil nakikita niyang mas marunong
siya ng ingles kaysa sa kanila.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ganyan lumipas
ang panahon. Halos hindi na nagsalita si Miss Yeyeng ng kapampangan dahil sabi
niya ay nakalimutan na niya. Matigas daw ang kapampangan at nababaluktot ang
kanyang dila, kaya kalianman hindi na siya makapagsalita ng tuwid at nauutal
siya.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nagkalabitan
ang mga maalam na nakakakilala sa kanya pagkarinig nito. Pinalitan tuloy ang
kanyang pangalan at pinangalanan siya ng matunog at umaalingasaw na “Miss
Phathupats,” pangalang hango sa malapad niyang balakang na pilit na iniipit sa
pahang mahigpit na ginamit niya, kaya ala siyang iniwan sa patupat o suman sa
ibus na mahigpit ang balot.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Magmula
noon ito ang pangalang ibinansag sa kanya at nakalimutan nilang tuluyan ang
Yeyeng, ang malambing niyang palayaw. Ang Miss Phathupats ang naging palasak.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ganito nang
ganito ang buhay. Hindi nagtagal lumabas ang <b>Ing Emangabiran</b>, pahayagang Kapampangan sa Bacoor. Sa isang pista o
belada sa bayang X, na kung saan dumalo si Miss Phathupats, binabasa ito. Lumapit
siya, ngunit nang makita na Kapampangan ang binabasa, lumabi ng kunti, umiling
at nagsabi.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>MISS PHATHUPATS<br />
</b><i>by Juan
Crisostomo Sotto<br />
translated in English by Dr. Edna Manlapaz<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Miss Yeyeng was a young woman who painted a heavy coat of rouge on her
face. They say that her parents were born in a corner of Pampanga, in one of
the smallest towns of the province. Because of this, Miss Yeyeng was a Filipina
from head to foot, a Kapampangan to the very tip of her hair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her family, being poor, earned its living by peddling food; and Miss
Yeyeng was frequently seen selling <i>guinatan</i>
or <i>bichu-bichu</i>, which she carried in
baskets on top of her head and peddled around gambling places. Up to this time,
nothing had changed in the life of this miss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The revolution ended. The American military government opened schools
and assigned some soldiers to teach there. It happened that Yeyeng – she was
still Yeyeng at the time, without the title “Miss” – had a customer among these
soldiers or teacher-soldiers. This customer urged her to study in the school
where he was teaching, so that they would understand each other; as of then,
the soldier would speak in English and Yeyeng in Kapampangan, so Yeyeng tried
hard to learn the new language.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After just a few months, Miss Yeyeng already spoke English; after
exactly eight months, on the recommendation of the teacher-soldier, Yeyeng was
sent to another town to be a teacher there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once she became a teacher, the people there naturally looked up to her
because they saw that she knew more English that they did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That was so how the time passed: Miss Yeyeng hardly ever spoke
Kapampangan anymore because, according to her, she had already forgotten how.
She also claimed that Kapampangan was hard to pronounce and twisted her tongue,
which was why she could no longer speak straight Kapampangan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When they heard of this, the mischievous people who knew her
immediately began to poke fun at her behind her back. They even went so far as
to change her name, calling her by the clangorous and mocking name of “Miss
Phathupats,” a reference to her wide hips, which she tried hard to constrict by
means of a tight corset she wore, with the result that she resembled a <i>patupat</i>, or tightly bound <b>suman.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From that time, the name caught on and people consequently forgot her
nice-sounding nickname of Yeyeng. She came to be known as Miss Phathupats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not long after, there appeared <b>Ing
Emangabiran</b>, a Kapampangan newspaper published in Bacolor. During a fiesta
in town X, where Miss Phathupats happened to be, she saw some people reading
it. When she came nearer, however, and saw that the newspaper was in
Kapampangan, she pouted, shook her head in obvious disapproval and said:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span lang="ES-TRAD">“Mi no entiende</span></i><span lang="ES-TRAD"> Kapampangan.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>“</i><i><span lang="ES-TRAD">Mi no entiende ese Castellano, </span></i><span lang="ES-TRAD">Miss,”</span> answered a
mischievous fellow. He mimicked her tone of voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Those who were around smiled; but because they were well-bred, they
concealed their amusement from the pretty Miss. Even though she knew they were
laughing at her, she continued:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Frankly, I find much
difficulty speaking in Pampangan, and even more so in reading it.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the little speech she proceeded to give, she sounded like a fish
vendor’s wife, speaking a smattering of English, Spanish and Tagalog, all of
which she mixed up in some sort of gibberish. The listeners could not contain
themselves any longer and burst out laughing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Miss Phathupats was angered; she faced those who were laughing and
asked:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i><span lang="ES-TRAD"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“¿Por qué reír?"<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span lang="ES-TRAD">“Por el <b>champurao</b>, Miss,”</span></i> answered the same fellow.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Those who were listening laughed all the more loudly and Miss
Phathupats’ temperature began to rise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of those standing by said:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Do not wonder that the
Miss does not know Kapampangan: first, because she has long associated with the
American soldiers, and secondly, she is no longer Kapampangan. The proof of
this is that her name is Miss Phathupats.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At that, all hell broke loose. The explosion was so powerful that Miss
Phathupats’ cauldron burst and from her mouth overflowed the fiery lava of
Vesuvius, or in other words, a torrent of all the dirty words in Kapampangan
came rushing out of her fuming mouth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>“Shameless people! Robbers!
Swindlers! Sons of –!”</i> all said in Kapampangan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>“Aha! So she is a
Kapampangan, after all,” </i>said the listeners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>“Yes, didn’t you know?”</i> asked one of those who knew her. <i>“She
is the daughter of old Gading the Braggart from my barrio.”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The spectators laughed out loud. At that, Miss Phathupats broke into
tears and as she wiped away the tears streaming down her face, she also
unwittingly removed the thick coat of makeup on it. Her face then showed its
true color, a color darker than the <i>duhat</i>
fruit. When the spectators saw this, they laughed all the more and said:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Aha! So she is
dark-complexioned!”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Yes, she is an American
Negro!”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There was shouting, clapping of hands, and laughter. Miss Phathupats
could not take any more. She stumbled out and said:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A lovely word a Kapampangan wants to hear when he's away from home. And tomorrow (27 September) is the day of the most silent "homecoming" for me. <i><br /></i>A heraldic mission is going to welcome me home. Tomorrow, Jayvie, Aljon and I will be teaching our indigenous writing, KULITAN, to the students of Christ in You Christian Academy in Dolores, City of San Fernando. And in 11 September, another Kulitan Writing Workshop will be held at Apalit High School <i>(tentative venue)</i>. So this two weeks is an exciting yet clueless day for me.</div>

Today's Friday the Thirteenth. Others thinks this is a bad luck day. But for us, this was just a blessed day, <i>apay? </i>Because today is a red letter day for me. Today, my faithful friends Nyor <b>Jose Mario <i>"Pepe" </i>Alas </b>and Nyora <b>Jennifer <i>"Yeyette"</i> Alas y Perey </b>shall be united as one flesh in the Sacrament of Marriage. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was prepping myself going to UP to meet with my <i>amigos</i> in the Sikatuna Cantata. Jesson, Mao, Junhar and I rehearsed the Mass setting and Propers to be used in the Wedding. We met at the UP Campus Ministry Office and had a great night practising hymns and chants. And we had this so hilarious chitchat filled with puns and jokes, as if we have no tomorrow to wait (<i>Hahaha!</i>). As we went to our barracks to have a peaceful sleep, I had a sleep over at Jesson's pad. <i>Pero wala na yatang tulog-tulog pa kaming hinintay. </i>We just wait for the morning to be broken. <i>Paano ba naman kasi, a las 2 pasado ng madaling-araw na kami nakahimbing. Ni hindi man lang ako dinalaw ng antok! hahaha!</i> But then, after we woke up and had our morning orations and rituals, I said to myself: this is it, <i>pancit!</i><br />
<br /></div>

<i>Hala ca!</i> Quezon City is experiencing heavy rain downpour. My gosh, <i>paano na kaya ito? </i>I just crossed my fingers that this rain would stop. And yes! As we arrived from the bus station going to La Laguna, <i>tumila na ang ulan! </i>Yehey! Knocked out <i>kami ni Jesson sa </i>bus! Hahahaha!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

9:15 AM <i>pasado.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We just arrived at San Pedro Tunasan. And as usual, <i>'di kami nagkantututo kung saan na kami patutungo.</i> And via <i>traysikol, nakarating kami sa Simbahan ng San Pedro.</i> Also, we saw the miraculous "Krus ng Tunasan", which Dr. Jose Rizal mentioned in his <i>Noli me Tangere.</i> We arrived at the church and saw some men fixing the altar flooring. As we went to their <i>Coro Mayor, </i>we again rehearsed our chnats and hymns. In its entirety, the church is so traditional in architectural style. I heard that this was built in the mid 60s, that's why it maintained some traditional features. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10:45 AM</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guests and friends has just arrived. I saw my idol Señor <i>Guillermo Gomez - Rivera,</i> my favourite Hispanista singer and flamenco dancer. I grabbed this chance to meet and greet him. What a great opportunity to meet a great man like him. And alas! Nyor Pepe Alas has arrived, having his clean cut <i>a la</i> Jose Rizal outfit. While we servers are hasting to prepare things before the Ritual starts. And <i>Dios gracias! </i>Nyora Yeyette arrived with <i>calesa</i> and attired in traditional accents and elements. We tolled the church bell continuously, to signal that the Ritual is about to start. Several minutes passed, Fr. Jojo Zerrudo met the couple, the <i>varon </i>and the <i>mujer, </i>at the front door of the church to confect the Ritual.</div>

1:00 PM <i>pasado</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We arrived at the reception nearly late. I was glad that one of the <i>madrina</i> [who is the mayor of San Pedro] said that she appreciated the traditional rites used in the wedding. It was a great compliment for us striving for the traditions of the Church to survive. It was also surprising that a writer from the <i>Philippine Daily Inquirer</i> interviewed Fr. Zerrudo and asked about the wedding ritual we had. I am looking forward for tomorrow's issue of the <i>Inquirer.</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Samangtala,</i> I'm this a little bit nervous because I am going to sing at the programme. And when the emcee called my name [<i>completa con mis apellidos</i>], I was actually shy to sing <i>La Bella Filipina</i>, because the great interpreter of it [Guillermo Gomez] was in the reception, and he's watching me. <i>Pero hala, tumira kami ng mga awiting Kastila gaya ng <b>"Mariposa Bella" </b>(a.k.a. "Paruparong Bukid), <b>"No Te Vayas de Zamboanga, "Cariñosa" </b></i>and <b><i>"Rosas Pandan". </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Hindi lang 'yan. Tumula pa kami. Hahaha! Pumulot kami ni Jesson ng tula mula sa mga nagkalat na buko ng sampagita. Ayun! Effect-effect lang!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think this is the day I felt I am really in Spain. Watching flamenco dancers, singing Spanish songs gave me this nostalgic feeling! Of all the weddings I had attended, this wedding is one of a kind! <i>Muy genial y maravilloso! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before we end the day, Nyor and Nyora gave us their endless thanks for assisting them in everything. What a heart-whelming words they express; they almost fired our hearts in unexplainable joy and exultation. <i>Salamat sa Dios </i>and this day is a great day indeed! Really our hearts can't express the joy! <i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Indeed, no words can express our joy this day! I just wish good luck, a blessed family life to you, Nyor Pepe and Nyora Yeyette! <i>Naua'y pagpalain po caio nang ating P. Dios! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Kaninang a las siete pasado ng gabi. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Naglalakad ako pauwi ng bahay nang makasalubong ko ang isang kaibigan at kapanalig na si Kuya <b>Glenn Lopez. </b>Isa siya sa mga nagmamalasakit sa <i><b>Nuestra Señora de la Peregrina,</b> </i>isang <i>imagen venerada</i> na matatagpuan sa ngayo'y simbahan ng Saint Anthony Shrine, tapat ng Dambanang Arkidiosesis ng Mahal na Birhen ng Loreto. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Napag-usapan namin ang napurnadang paglabas ng Peregrina nitong nakaraang Linggo. Ipinahayag ko sa kaniya ang aking panghihinayang at pagkadismaya sa hindi paggora ng Mahal na Birhen nitong nakaraang prusisyon. Maano'y mainis-inis sa hindi pagpapakita ng <i>amor</i> ng ilang mga tao sa Simbahang Pransiskanong ito. Hindi man lang nila asikasuhin ang Mahal na Birhen, <i>knowing the fact </i>na ito naman talaga ang titular na patron ng simbahan. Gayon din ang himutok ni Kuya Glenn. Kung sakaling nagpaka-lukring daw siya noong tanungin siya ni <b>Fra. Cielito</b> kung kaniya ba ang imahen ng Peregrina ay sasabihin niya talagang <i>"Oo, sa pamilya namin ang Mahal na Birhen" </i>maisalba lamang ang imahen sa di-maayos na pagtrato ng mga taong inatasan ng Kataastaasan. Sabihin pa, nais halinhan ni Fra. Cielito ang kinalalagyan ng Birhen ng isang dambuhalang LCD screen at tila sagabal ang Birhen sa nasabing aparato <i>apparuit!</i> Ni hindi man lamang sinunod ang orihinal na deseño ng retablo ni Arquitecto <b>Gervacio Amistoso</b> kung saan makikitang nasa kanang bahagi ng retablo ang kinalalagyan ng Peregrina. <i>Ayun! </i>Inilagay sa gilid ang Birhen, kalinya ng Anak niya na naroroon sa Tabernakulo sa kanang <i>side altar </i>dati [ehem!].</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ang masaklap pa, <i>"tinabasan" </i>ang likurang bahagi ng imahen ng Peregrina bilang pag-adjust sa patungang retablo. Aba naman at ang Mahal na Birhen pa ang mag-aadjust sa makalupang kamalian niyo?! Naku naman! Di bale sana kung preciosa ang materyales na ginamit sa retablo. Eh ang pagkakadinig ko'y <i>fiber glass </i>ang buong retablo! <i>[Naku, ninegosyo kayo, mana fraile!!! Wahahaha!]</i> Kaawa-awang retablo, siguro sampung taon ang ating bibilangin at magbibitak ang kabuuan nito dahil sa <i>porosity </i>ng materiales fuertas!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mabalik tayo sa napurnadang paglabas ni Inang Manlalakbay. Ayun po, ang imaheng <i>Inmaculada Concepcion </i>ni <b>Kuya Erick </b>ang ginawang pansamantalang <i>Virgen de Peregrina. </i>Kasi kasi, sino ba ang bumulong sa tainga ni <b>Fra. Esmeraldus Enalfeus OFM</b> at hindi ipinalabas ang Birhen. Ang siste kase mga apo, may chumika kay Fra. Esmeraldus na <i>"maropoc na ang camot [camay] nang Virgen. Houag nio na siang gagaiacan..." </i>Teka aber, nakasisiguro ka ba, kung sino ka man, sa sinabi mong iyan?! At bakit, <i>camarera</i> ka ba ng Virgen at na-check up mo ba? Parang parehong <i>cuento </i>yan noong nakaraang taon...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Cafiestahan nang Reina de Sampaloc at dapat ai ybababa ang Virgen ng Loreto mula sa pedestal sa altar mayor. Eh, mey bumulong yata cai Monsignor at hindi nia pinaiagang ybaba ang vera imagen ng Loreto."</div>
</blockquote>
<br />
Alam niyo sa totoo lang, mga apo, hindi na naubos ang lahi ng mga <i>ghost whisperers </i>na iyan eh. Mga panira sila sa magandang hangarin ng iba! Hindi sila nakatutulong sa ating lipunan. Aywan ko ba, mga apo!!!<br />
<br />
Natapos ang usapan namin ni Kuya Glenn sa isang <i>manifesto: </i>sikaping ipalaganap ang nawalang debosyon ng <i>Nuestra Señora de la Peregrina</i>, ilang dekada na ang lumipas.<br />
<br />
Sayang, mga anak ni Isko! Tsansa n'yo nang magpa-pogi points sa mga Anthonian devotees, eh nag-iinasong inarte kayo, mga anak ng coqueta kayo. . . ayan!<br />
<br />
NGANGA!!! <br />

Then eventually, little by little, I went back to the <i>Sikatuna Cantata. </i>I still volunteer to sing and help them in musical matters whenever they may need. Just recently, I helped them to arrange some musical pieces in the Hymnal they are going to release this year. A laborious work fulfilled for me, even in my simple ideas. <i>Lalo na, </i>idol <i>na </i>idol <i>ko si Kuya </i>Jesson <i>pagdating sa </i>Latin grammar! <i>Hahaha! </i>It is also a timely chance to restore my friendship with them, indeed <i>a blessing in disguise.</i> <i>Kaway-kaway naman diyan, </i>Kuya Jesson, Junhar, Ron, Mao and the rest of the schola! <i>Hahaha!</i> <br />
