Students from Bicol University became acquainted with National Artists Levi Celerio and Dr. Bienvenido Lumbera through their works.
MANILA, Philippines — The National Commission for Culture and the Arts proudly presented the works of National Artists Dr. Bienvenido Lumbera and Levi Celerio to the students and teachers of Bicol University in celebration of National Literature Month last April.
"A Eulogy of Roaches," for instance, is poetry employing the use of metaphor to chronicle the downtrodden in society, written in a timeless narrative. Although literature changes and moves with the times, its nuances are understood by later generations."We seek in literature what we can't find in life," shared Ian Ron V. Bello, founder of the Arabay Folkloric & Theater Group, who presented a short study on the life and times of Dr. Lumbera.
Some of Celerio's most memorable compositions are "Ang Pasko ay Sumapit," "Dito sa Pitong Gatang," "Sapagkat Kami ay Tao Lamang," "Kahit Konting Pagtingin," "Kalesa," "Rosas Pandan" and "Saan Ka Man Naroroon," among many others.
