DEATH TO THE SPIRIT

     "Subservience of any kind is death to the spirit." 
     This is not from the blogger applying it to some Ilokano writers who write in a weekly Ilokano magazine, but from Alice Walker, a black American writer, in her anthology of essays, "In Search of our Mothers' Gardens." 
     The blogger and the late Godofredo S. Reyes, 13-time president of the Ilokano mannurat organization. In extreme right is  the unfinished writers' house in Suso.   Most of the money  came from Ilokano writers' groups in Hawaii and the US mainland. "Sayang dagidi in-contributemi a kuarta, Peter," Manang Pacing told the blogger three days ago in a long distance telephone call from Honolulu.
