After more than a decade, I was on my way back to the island of my birth—Ticao, in Masbate. Its isolation has always been palpable to us who have left it. But to its inhabitants, like in San Fernando, the town of my grandparents is as much a land that remembers itself as a land. To forget its “landness” is to be swallowed by the sea, and be forgotten.
This particular trip had two purposes: to conduct a film education workshop in San Jacinto for selected teachers as arranged by the principal of Bagahanglad National High School, Henry Lumbero Macabuhay. I was also there on the island to coordinate events for the 2nd Bikol Book Festival under the National Book Development Board, Ateneo de Naga University Press and Savage Mind.
Driving to San Fernando, we passed by ponds around which hovered old mangroves and low-lying hills. The pavement eased down always to the sea or to a body of water, lime green as it moved farther into the woods.
