NO APAY NGA INSUBLIK TI PEDRO BUCANEG AWARD
The Pedro Bucaneg Award is the highest medal of honor in Iluko literature. The award was given to me during a convention of Ilokano writers in Suso, Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur sometime in the summer of 2001, in the presence of Dr. Godofredo S. Reyes, 13-time president of the association. But I tried to return it in support of a cause--the vicious "attack" by writers identified with Gumil Filipinas in the Internet against Apo Ariel Agcaoili of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and the unexplained expenses of funds of the major national association of Ilokano writers. The political act was made through a letter dated August 5, 2009 to Ms. Elizabeth Madarang Raquel, then president of Gumil Filipinas, through Mr. Ariel Tabag, then secretary- general of the organization.
Iti suratko, imbatadko nga adda dua a kondision iti panangisublik ti PBA ket maisurat koma iti pakasaritaan ti Gumil Filipinas:
1. "Peter La. Julian, Pedro Bucaneg Award insublina a kas simbolo ti pannakipagriknana ken pannakitaktakunaynayna ken ni Apo Aurelio S. Agcaoili a nangtunton iti husticia iti pannkarabrabngis iti dayawna."
2. "Peter La. Julian, Pedro Bucaneg Award insublina a kas simbolo ti luksawna iti saan a nalawag a pannakadagup iti nau-or a pondo ken pannakagastos iti kuarta iti pannakabangon iti Balay ti Gumil idiay Suso."
Saan a nasungbatan ti suratko ngem inikkatda kano ti naganko iti listaan dagiti immawat iti kangatuan a pammadayaw ti Literatura Iluko.
(Siasino ngamin aya ti makailawlawag iti pudno a nagasto iti patta a idiay Suso a namkuatan ni Dr. Dedicacion Agatep-Reyes a nangibaga a "bulok" ti gunglo?)
Incidentally, Ms.Raquel used the name of Mark Limon, a young MMSU instructor, in an article published in the Ilocos Times, that maligned Apo Agcaoili.

ReplyDeleteAgyamanak, Apo Agca. Itay napan a tawen, inawisnak ni Apo Freddie Padua Masuli, nga aglektiurak iti daniw iti kombesion ti gunglo idiay Claveria, Cagayan. Imbagak idi ken ni Apo Freddie a panunotenda a nalaing ti awisda ta adda idi saanmi a nagkikinnaawatan iti GF. Awan ti ditay nagkikinnaawatan, Manong, kinuna ni Apo Freddie. Sinarurongan daytoy ni Apo Arthur Urata a presidente ti gunglo. Isu a napanak idiay Claveria iti dayta a kalgaw. Nasayaat met ti panangsarabo kaniak dagiti kakabsat iti pluma a kas kada Appo Joel Manuel ken Rudy Contilio.
