Matagumpay na ginanap ang CreativeWriting Encounter Seminar-Workshopnoong nakaraang linggo, Setyembre 20sa 3

rdfloor ng Filipino Catholic Center.

Sinimulan ang pagtitipon sa ganap naika-4:30 ng hapon sa pamamagitan ngpambungad na pananalita ni Fr. Alvin

Parantar,MSP, Chaplain ng HyewadongFilipino Catholic Community. Ayon kayProf. Genevieve L. Asenjo,Phd ng De-partment of Literature, De La Salle Uni-versity, Manila ang Pilipinas ay may-roong orihinal na estilo at kasanayan sapaglikha at pagsusulat ng mga Tula atKuwento. Dagdag pa niya na maging angmga sinaunang tribung Pilipino, lalong-lalo na ang mga Mangyan ay nakalimbag ng maiinam at magagandang uri ng Literatura. Subalit ayon pa sakanya, ang mga likhang ito ay unti-unting nawawala sa hanay ng Sining sa Pagsusulat kung kayat nangan-ganib na ito ay tuluyan na ngang mawala. Sa katunayan, ang mga sinaunang Likhang-Literatura ng mgatribung manunulat ay hindi itinuturo sa ilang mga paaaralan at hindi halos nakatala sa kasaysayan ng Litera-turang Pilipino.

Tinalakay ni Prof. Asenjo, tagapagsalita sa nasabing seminar ang ibat ibang uri at estilo sa pagsusulat ng

Tula, Sanaysay at mga Kuwento na angkop sa maliliit na pahayagan. Hinikayat niya ang 16 na manunulatmula sa Sambayanan at Sulyapinoy Newsletter na paglinangin at pag-ibayuhin ang pagsusulat ng mga lit-eratura na may kaugnayan sa Tanaga at Ambahan, mga sinaunang uri ng Tula. Itinuro din niya ang ilangteknik sa pagsulat ng mga kuwento, ang Creative Non-Fiction at Flash Fiction. Nagkaroon din ng pag-kakataong basahin ng bawat manunulat ang pinakamaganda at pili nilang mga nalikhang tula, sanaysay atkuwento. Sa huling bahagi ng pagtitipon ay iginawad kay Prof. Asenjo ang Certificate of Apreciation ni Edi-son Pinlac, HFCC President at Engr. CzarJeff Laban, Lay-out Artist ng Sambayanan Newsletter. Ipinagka-loob din ang Certificate of Participation sa lahat ng mga dumalong manunulat mula sa dalawang nabanggitna pahayagan. Itinuring na isang pagpapala ang pagbisita ni Prof. Asenjo dito sa Korea na kung saan siyaay nagbigay ng karagdagang kaalaman tungkol sa pagsusulat. Bahagi ng kanyang misyon ang OverseasWriting Fellow ng Korea Literature Translation Institute at nilibot niya ang ilang magagandang lugar ng Ko-rea para sa mas mainam na paglikha ng Literatura at siya ay nakatakdang babalik sa Pilipinas sa ika-30 ngNobyembre. Mababanaag sa lahat ng mga dumalo ang kasiyahan dahil sa panibagong kaalamang kanilang

natutunan sa nasabing seminar na natapos sa ika -7:00 ng gabi.

Prof. Gen kasama ang SAMBAYANAN at SULYAPINOY

Lorenzo Ruiz, the

first Filipino saint,

was beatified on Febru-

ary 18, 1981 at the Luneta, and subsequently canonized in Rome on October

18, 1987. His feast day falls on September 28, tomorrow.

He was a devotee to the Blessed Virgin having been a confrade of the Confra-

ternity of the Holy Rosary. He encountered heroic death at the hands of the

harsh Japanese military "shoguns." Prior to his death, he was mercilessly tor-

tured .

Lorenzo Ruiz terrible sufferings exemplify heroic faith and loyalty to God at

the cost of dear life.

Nowadays there are virtually no more tortures and persecutions for ones faith. The "tortures" and spiri-

tual deaths one may encounter are the daily trials and crosses.Such may be the drudgery of work, loneliness or putting up with heartless, apathetic people among rela-

tives, coworkers, and coping with lingering illness, like arthritis, or an incurable sickness like cancer.

We pray to our first Filipino saint on his feast day to bless our country in order to achieve peace and unity

so we can surmount our socioeconomic problems.

Further, we pray to St. Lorenzo Ruiz for ourselves that we may bear the crosses and trials we encounter

daily. Especially here in South Korea.

Prayers to St. Lorenzo Ruiz

(Feast September 28)

O MOST MERCIFUL and almighty God,

You bestowed as gift to Lorenzo Ruiz

The strength to withstand

The overpowering forces of death

For the sake of his faith in You.

Through his prayers,

Help us to follow his example

By overcoming all lifes trials

And eventually, increase

Our hope and love in You.

O St. Lorenzo Ruiz,

You brought honor to your country,

Having been a level-headed

And prudent father of the family,

A witness of Christ in your life

Until your death.

We present all our petitionsTo God through your help

So that by our actions,

We may know more and love more

Jesus our Lord and Savior.

We humbly implore

Your intercession O dear St. Lorenzo,

For the infinite glory of God

And in honor of your triumph

As a martyr of Christ

And defender of Christianity.

Amen.

THE NEWLY ELECTED MSP Father Moderator, Rev. Fr. Alfie AfricaMSP, arrived here in Seoul, Korea last Tuesday Sep. 22, 2009 all

the way from his last stop in Japan. He was met at the airport by Fr.

Alvin Parantar, MSP.

He started his missionary life from a bush mission in Papua New

Guinea, to a Missionary Spirituality Formation work in Tayud, Cebu,

and to a First World Mission in Sacramento, USA before being cho-

sen and elected to his present post as Father Moderator of MSP.

He shares the same feeling of migrants by being a missionary. He

once quoted in the MSP newsletter, We, missionaries, will always

have to deal with the reality of leaving and coming. But not all good-

byes are forever.

PAGNINILAY:PAGNINILAY:PAGNINILAY:PAGNINILAY:Fr. Paul J. Marquez, SSP

Sunday: Cycle B 2009 SEP-OCT Weekday: Year 1

May magkahawig na pangyayari sa Unang Pagbasa at saEbanghelyo ngayong araw. Sa panahon ni Moises, ibig pigilin ni

Josue sina Eldad at Medad na nagpapahayag sa kampamento.

Ang dalawang matandang lalaking ito ay bumukod sa Pitumpungiba pa na tumanggap ng Espiritu ng Diyos. Magkagayon man,

tumanggap din ng Espiritu sina Eldad at Medad bagamat nanatili

lamang sila sa kam-

pamento.

Nahihiwalay man

ang mga kapatid natin

sa malaking pangkala-

hatan tulad ng Simba-

han, huwag nating ka-

limutan na makapan-

gyarihan pa rin ang Di-

yos at sagana kung

siyay magbiyaya. Hindi

siya nagtatangi hindi

tulad ng tao na pumipili

lamang ng iaanib sa

samahan o kapatiran.

Kapag Diyos ang kumilos, may kapangyarihan siyang iligtas ang

lahat. Laan ang kanyang Banal na Espiritu para sa lahat.

Batid ni Moises ang katotohanang ito. Alam niyang hindi maba-

bawasan ang biyayang tinanggap niya sa Diyos kung matatang-

gap rin ito ng iba pang mga tao. Katuwiran ni Moises: higit pa

ngang mabuti kung lahat ng Israel ay maging mga propeta. Nasa-

salamin kay Moises ang malawak na pang-unawa at tamang pag-

kilala sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos.Sa Ebanghelyo, si Juan at ang kanyang mga kasama ang nag-

sikap saklawan ang pagbibiyaya ng Diyos. Ang kanilang katu-

wiran? Sapagkat hindi raw kabilang sa Labindalawang Apostol

ang isang taong nagpapalayas ng mga demonyo sa pangalan ni

Jesus. Hinimok ni Jesus si Juan na huwag nang pagbawalan ang

taong iyon sapagkat ang hindi laban sa atin ay panig sa atin.

Hindi lingid sa Diyos ang mabuting ginagawa ng bawat tao,

anumang pangkat siya kabilang. Maging ang pagpapainom ng

isang basong tubig sa nauuhaw ay mahalaga sa Diyos. Sa kabi-

lang banda, binabalaan niya

ang tao na huwag nawang

maging sanhi sa pagkaka-

sala ng kanyang kapwa.

Higit na mabuti pa raw na

ang taoy sabitan ng gilin-

gang-bato sa leeg sa halip

na magdulot ng pagkakasala

sa kapwa tao lalo na sa mga

maliliit. Maaaring mabuyo

ang tao sa pagkakasalagamit ang kanyang mga

kamay, paa o mata. Hindi

nagpatumpik-tumpik si Je-

sus. Nang sabihin niyang

higit na mabuting putulin ang

mga kamay at mga paa at dukutin ang mga mata sa halip na

magkasala ang tao, hindi literal ang pakahulugan niya rito. Sa

halip, ipinapaliwanag niya na ang pagsunod sa Diyos ay hu-

mahantong sa radikal na pagputol sa mga bagay na naglalayo sa

atin sa kanya. Kadalasan, ang mga bagay na ito ay totoong

malapit na sa atin o matagal nang bahagi ng ating buhay o pag-

katao. Magkagayon man, maliwanag ang hamon ni Jesus: Putulin

iyon! Dukutin iyon! Ipinapaalala ni Jesus na ang pagsunod natinsa kanya ay kailangang totohanan at buong tapang.

Bakit Mahirap ang Pilipinasni Amie Sison

Minsan pa kung ating iisipin

Mga nangyayari sa paligid natinNatatanaw o hindi man napapansinDahil di matukoy ating mga tungkulin.

Bakit ba kay hirap ng ating bansaAno nga ba ang ating magagawaUpang makatulong sa ating bayanNaitatanong, kailan lalaya sa kahirapan.

Negosyo daw ay pagtuunan ng pansinPuhunan ay dapat manggaling sa ipon natinKung sa utang ay walang mararating

Sa interes tiyak mapupunta ang kikitain.

Palaguin din ang ating kaalaman at talentoKung paghuhusayan ang galing na natatagoDarating ang araw ng iyong paglagoPagiging masinop natatanging sikreto.

Sanay iwasan muna ang ating mga bisyoPera ay mailaan sa magandang negosyoPagbuhusan ng lakas, panahon at talinoSa kahirapay tunay na makaiiwas tayo.

MAHAL KITAMAHAL KITAMAHAL KITAMAHAL KITA Michael Balba

Isang araw noong ako naglalakad nag-iisa,Bigla akong napahinto pagkat ikaw ay nakita,Ang puso kong nalulungkot nakadama ng ligaya,Sa taglay mong kagandahan agad akong nahalina.

Ang pintig ng aking puso ay bumilis aking hirang,

Daglian ka na inibig at minahal ng lubusan,Katangiang hinahanap sa'yo aking natagpuan,Kaya laging ninanais kapiling ka aking mahal.

Pangarap ko ay natupad dahil sa'yo aking giliw,Ang puso kong nalulungkot ay nawala ang hilahil,Sa lahat ng sandali na ikaw ay kapiling,Para akong dinuduyan sa awit ng mga anghel,

Ang taglay mong katangian ang nagbibigay nga nglakas,Kaya laging ang nais ko ikaw giliw ay kayakap,Saan man ako makarating larawan mo aking liyag,Sa puso ko ang nakaukit araw-araw oras-oras.

Ngayon aking isisigaw labis kitang minamahal,Pag-ibig kong alay sa'yo sadyang wagas at dalisay,Pangako ko aking sinta ika'y aking iingatan,

Ika'y aking iibigin magpahanggang- kamatayan.

Mahal kita, Mahal kita, SAMBAYANAN Mahal kita,Pagkat ika'y babasahing na tunay na naiiba,

Ang dulot mo ay liwanag at sa buhay ay pag-asa,Pagkat bagong kaalaman sa'yo ang makikita...

Personal Encounter with the ArtistPersonal Encounter with the ArtistPersonal Encounter with the ArtistPersonal Encounter with the Artist

By: Lyn Carpio It was on a Sunday afternoon, on the 20th of September in a small room at the Hyewhadong Fili-

pino Catholic Center where I had the chance to experience a brief but fruitful encounter with Ms. Gen

Asenjo, an artist and professor.

The small room was filled with curious faces and yet very eager participants from the Sambayanan and

Sulyapinoy Newsletter. It was such a lovely afternoon, the weather agreed with the moods of each andeveryone present.

A petite lady stood in front and was introduced to everybody. She's younger looking than what

I expected. As she made her way to start the afternoon activity I was convinced that she had a lot to offer.And it was true. She was oozing with knowledge though she was a lady with petite physique. She carried

herself with confidence as she started talking in front of the much relaxed participants.

The knowledge she imparted had somehow cleared my bewildered mind. I knew it wasnt

enough but she opened a door for improvement. It may be a very short moment of encounter with her butshe truly gave all the best she could to help us enhance our writing skills. She left a very good impression

to all who participated in the said activity, including myself.

I admired her untiring effort for sharing her talent to her fellow Filipinos living far away from

home. The hectic schedules were not a hindrance to her initiative to disseminate valuable information.Her words of encouragement touched me from within. The active participation of all who attended was

evidence of her distinct charismatic approach on her field.

The way she moved and talked showed her side as an artist. Petite as she was, she captured my interesteverybodys interest. Ms. Gen,

you made me proud to be your kababayan.
