DYIPNI: NOON, NGAYON, AT MAGPAKAILANMAN
DYIPNI: NOON, NGAYON, AT MAGPAKAILANMAN
by Miko D. Santos
Ang papel na ito ay tumatalakay sa iba’t-ibang konsepto kaugnay sa mga dyipni sa Pilipinas at mga bagay-bagay na may kaugnayan dito tulad ng tsuper at iba pang mga tao, bagay, at kaugalian. Ito ay batay sa aking sariling pag-oobserba at pagkakaunawa, bagama’t ang ilan ay batay sa mga librong aking sinipi.
Ang paraan o metodolohiya na aking ginamit sa aking pagsulat ng papel na ito ay “narration” at nasa kronohikal na ayos mula sa pagkakadala ng mga Amerikanong sundalo ng dyip sa Pilipinas hanggang sa kasalukuyan at ang posibleng hinaharap nito. Gayunpaman, hindi sakop ng papel na ito ang dyipni at iba pang uri ng mga sasakyan sa ibang mga bansa; bagama’t mayroong ilang mga bansang gumagamit din ng dyipni bilang transportasyon.

Homeward Bound to an Avenue of Rich Culture and Excellence
Philippine Independence Parade Madison Avenue, New York
On the 6 train, I was deep in my thoughts on what I should capture in the Philippines’ Independence celebration. I was contemplating on what is essential to me as a Filipino who chose to work in the Big Apple. Do I deserve to make a video about it knowing I have been out of touch with my culture for a long time? Would I sound credible to talk about Filipino customs that I do not observe regularly? Why do I have doubts that I feel like a lost “Pinay”; stranger to the heritage I was born and raised with when I decided to live in another country?
I was at Madison Avenue with my reliable director. While he was recording parts of the parade of Filipinos proudly waving the flag, I was at the back too shy to even talk to my fellow countrymen. I heard them speak in my native tongue which was an irony to my lips laden already with the New York “Twalk”. It was indicative that the day would be hopeless for me. Suddenly, my Hispanic Director called me to go in front to catch a better view of the parade. In truth, I was …..to continue reading, visit www.filteany.com
TV Advertisements of Senators
Senate President Manny Villar’s TV commercial about his helping to OFW was circulating during primetime TV. If Bayani Fernando was known for his early campaigning with his huge billboards, Senate President Manny Villar is known for his TV commercials. The richest Philippine Senator I suppose funded for this TV commercial just to let the public known his presence. As if the public aren’t aware that he is already campaigning.
