WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

Philippine literature adopts the emerging trend of literature4

CREATIVE NONFICTION. One of the most popular genres of literature in
the Philippines has always been the essay also known as creative
nonfiction. The essay is often defined as a short piece of writing on a
particular subject. Sometimes, it is also defined as an account of historical,
personal, and academic events. However, the definition of an essay can also
be vague and that it overlaps with that of the always popular short story.
Because of this, the essay is sometimes seen as a literary genre that is of
lesser form than poetry and fiction.

Many of our writers showcase their works in a form of essay. Writers

like Nick Joaquin, S.P. Lopez, Francisco Arcellana, N.V.M. Gonzalez, Estrella
Alfon, Kerima Polotan, and many others covered a huge variety of subjects
and styles in their essays.

This module covers the different writings of our very own Filipino
writers particularly in a form of an essay that somehow gives us a light in
doubts that we sometimes have. By reading their work, we may tend to see
the other’s interpretation of living and appreciate the beauty of life.

Learning Competencies

EN 12Lit-1d-25. Produce a creative representation of a literary text by

applying multimedia and ICT skills.

module.

WHAT’S NEW

Creative nonfiction is seen more as a category or a method of

classification, to differentiate it from other types of essays. For a work to be
considered creative nonfiction, it must use creative writing techniques more
commonly techniques found in fiction. Essays that have clear narrative
elements, or use fiction techniques such as dialogue or characterization,
are classified as creative nonfiction.

Creative nonfiction is seen as contentious term because while it seems

to be referring to a brand new genre of writing, it is often used
interchangeably with the term literary essay, and some still question
whether it is in fact a legitimate genre. Genres are classifications or ways of
differentiating one thing from another. Genres are not static; they can
change over time to reflect the changes in society. For example, during
William Shakespeare’s time, his plays were not seen as having high literary
value because of his tendency to innovate beyond the established
conventions of drama at that time. Now, however his works are seen as
<classics= with timeless value.

The elements such as description, narration, anecdotes,

characteristics, dialogue, and insights, all these together make for an essay.

Description is an account of a person, object, or event that enables

the reader to get a clear picture of what is being described.

Narration is the act of telling a story.

Anecdotes are short stories based on true accounts.

Characteristics are the mental and moral qualities that make

someone distinctive.

Dialogues are conversations found in written works such as books,

plays, or films.

Insight in literature, is the expansion of understanding gained by the

narrator or reader.

WHAT IS IT

Five Brothers, One Mother

From <Many Mansions=
By Exie Abola
Manila

The Marikina house wasn’t finished yet, but with an ultimatum

hanging over our heads, we had no choice but to move in. Just how finished
the house was became bruisingly clear on our first night. There was no
electricity yet, and the windows didn’t have screens. There were mosquitoes.
I couldn’t sleep the whole night. My sister slept on a cot out in the upstairs
hall instead of her room downstairs, maybe, because it was cooler here.
Every so often she would toss and turn, waving bugs away with half 3 asleep
hands. I sat beside her and fanned her. She had work the next day, in the
morning someone went out and bought boxes and boxes of Katol.

 lOMoARcPSD|21288561

Work on the house would continue, but it remains unfinished eight

years later. All the interiors, after a few years of intermittent work, are done.
But, the exterior remains unpainted, still the same cement gray as the day
5
we moved in, though grimier now. Marikina’s factories aren’t too far away.
The garden remains ungreened; earth, stones, weeds, and leaves are where I
suppose Bermuda grass will be put down someday.

In my eye the Marikina house is an attempt to return to the

successful green meadows plan, but with more modest means at one’s
disposal. The living room of the Cinco Hermanos house features much of the
same furniture, a similar look. The sofa and wing chairs seem at ease again.
My mother’s growing collection of angel figurines is the new twist. But there
is less space in this room, as in most of the rooms in the Marikina house,
since it is smaller house on a smaller lot.

The kitchen is carefully planned, as was the earlier one, the cooking
and eating areas clearly demarcated. There is again a formal dining room,
and the new one seems to have been designed for the long narra dining
table, a lovely designs Ligna item, perhaps the one most beautiful piece of
furniture we have, bought on the cheap from relatives leaving the country in
a hurry when we still were on Heron street.

Uptairs are the boy’s rooms. The beds were the ones custom 3 made
for the Green meadows house, the same ones we’d slept in since then. It was
a loft or an attic. My mother insisted, which is why, the stairs had such
narrow steps. But this <attic,=curiously enough, had two big bedrooms as
well as a wide hall. To those of us who actually inhabited these rooms, the
curiosity was an annoyance. There was no bathroom, so if you had to go to
the toilet in the middle of the night, you had to go down the stairs and come
back up again, by which time you were at least half awake.

Perhaps there was no difference between the two houses more basic
and more dramatic than their location. This part of Marikina is not quite the
same as the swanky part of Ortigas we inhabited for five years. Cinco
hermanos is split by road, cutting it into two phases, the leads on one end to
Major Santos Dizon, which connects Marcos Highway with Katipunan
Avenue. The other end of the road stops at Olandes, a dense community of
pedicabs, narrow streets, and poverty. The noise- from the tricycles, the
chattering on the street, the trucks hurtling down Marcos Highway in the
distance, the blaring of the loudspeaker of our street corner put there by
eager- beaver barangay officials any illusions one might harbor of having
returned to a state of bliss.

The first floor is designed to create separation between the family and
guest areas, so one can entertain outsiders without disturbing the house’s
inhabitants. This principle owes probably to my mother than my father.
After all, she is entertainer, the host. The living room, patio, and dining

 lOMoARcPSD|21288561

room 3 places where guests might be entertained- must be clean and neat,
things in their places. She keeps the kitchen achingly well 3 organized,
which is why there are lots of cabinets and a deep cupboard.

And she put them to good use. According to Titus, the fourth, who
accompanied recently while grocery shopping, she buys groceries as if all of
us still lived there. I don’t recall the cupboard ever being empty.

That became her way of mothering. As we grew older and drifted

farther and farther away from her grasp, defining our own lives outside of
the house, my mother must have felt that she was losing us to friends, jobs,
loves- forces beyond her control. Perhaps she figured that food, and a clean
place to stay, was what we still needed from her. So over the last ten years
or so she has become more involved in her cooking, more attentive, better.
She also became fussier about meals, asking if you’ll be there for lunch or
dinner so she knows how much to cook, reprimanding the one who didn’t
call to say he wasn’t coming home dinner after all, or the person who
brought guests home without warning. There was more to it than just
knowing how much rice to cook.
