Access Hari Manawari (Tapat: Journal Ng Bagong Nobelang Filipino Tomo I-02) Conceived By German Villanueva Gervacio Displayed In Manuscript

a Filipino fantasy novel about a prince from a far away kingdom torn between two loves, And it uses the words "cool" and "electric train, " Go figure. "ManawariSana Mangyari"

Yes! Ang ganda nito! Hindi ko akalaing magugustuhan ko ang malaalamat o mitong katha ni German Villanueva, Ang dami kong tawa dito,

Wohoo! Isang kwento ng kababalaghan at kung anuanu pa, Ewan ko pero nung una parang pakiramdam ko ripoff ng mga mito natin, Pero nagkamali ako. Pero wala rin naman akong ideya kung gayunman, basta ang alam ko maganda ang pagkakatahitahi ng istorya, Maaaring ripoff nga kay Lamang, dahil may hawig ang nangyari sa dulo at sa alaga niya, Magsimulang malabo ang istorya hangang nahing interesante sa kalagitnaan at mahirap naman bitiwan,

Tingin ko naman talaga kung gagawa ka ng tulad ng ganitong katha mahirap mawala ang elemento ng mga mito ng bayan at iba pang karakter na pamilyar sa iyo.
Tulad ng isang babaeng iisa ang mata, ibon na nagpapagaling ng sakit, sirena at marami pa,

Isa sa paborito kong karakter ay yung munting Prinsesang Naka Upo sa Tasa at may dalawang Uod na tanod, Ang kulit ng Prinsesang yun, komedyante pa, Bagamat may malabo sa akin, hindi sinabi kung anu ang nangyari sa babaeng nakapila sa kanya bago ang Prinsipe, May isa papala, yung komedyanteng Ibon, na umamaawit na mala Levi Celerio at Freddie Aguilar, Wahaha! Ang dami ko talagang tawa nung binabasa ko ito, dun pa lang sa Diwata ng kagubatan eh, MalaFita ang peg,

Nga pala, nakalimutan kong banggitin na kwento ito ng paglalakbay, isang magulo at makulit na pakikipagsapalaran

para sa pagibig, Oh pagibig. May hinahanap s'yang dilag na nagiwan lamang ng panyo, Sa paglalakbay nya makikila ang mga magiging kaibigan at mga alaga nya natutulong para mahanap ang dilag na ninanais nya,

stars!
May plus pa yan, kasi maganda nagbook cover art na gawa ni Rai Cruz ang magagandang ilustrasyon sa loob, Astig!


Binabasa ko pa yung tungkol sa akda ni JRC, Buuin ko ito bukas. : The second issue of TAPAT Journal and it showcases this awesome fantasy Tagalog novel, Hari Manawari by the seemingly lowkey but talented author German Gervacio.
Why did I say lowkey Because I never heard of him prior to this book, This is one of the things I like about this journal, it introduces new writers and it also highlights or gives deeper insights on then books that I thought I read and understood.
Only to find out that I did not or I missed somethings and this book makes me want to read them again,

Just like the firstissues that I've so far read, this issue is divided into three parts:Hari ManawariSTARS is the story of a prince who is tasked to look for the owner of a handkerchief who is a mysterious lady he has seen once.
The plot is not original but the storytelling is tremendously funny, I am soon turningand I am too old to be entertained by fantasy story but this one made me laugh out loud several times that my wife could not sleepPagbabasa sa mga Nobela ni Jun Cruz ReyesSTARS is composed of three literary criticisms written by the three guys who are after this TAPAT journal.
Christopher Mitch C. Cerda took on Tutubi, Tutubi, 'Wag Kang Magpapahuli sa Batang Salbahe and I thought I missed most of the messages that Reyes wanted to convey.
Mark Benedict F. Lim discussed my favorite Reyes book, EtsaPuwera and it brought back the memories of the great reading days that I had while reading the book.
I particularly remembered fondly the statue of TanYan that transfers from one place to another and the memorable character of Rosa Kalabaw, Lastly, my friend Edgar Calabia Samar's illuminating piece on Ang Huling Dalagang Bukid at ang Authobiography na Mali: Isang Imbestigasyon, I thought that the book was just about the migration of Filipino women from the rural area to work as domestic workers abroad, I did not see the critical relevance of the authobiography because Jun Cruz Reyes was a character in his this novel, Thesegreat guys should write more of these pieces to help us all understand deeper the Tagalog novels that we readPagtatapat Bldg,: Genevieve L. AsenjoSTARS is a joy to read, The three gents interviewed Asenjo and asked not only about her works but also the writer's workshop held in Baguio, I've read and really liked Asenjo's first semierotic novel, Lumbay ng Dila and her naughtiness shows in the interview, Oh, I really want to guest her in one of our book discussions because reading her interview gave me the impression that she is not only brain literary chair at DLSU, my alma mater but also brawn and most importantly hot hehe.
She also talked about Cirilo Bautista, her mentor and she had all respect to the guy I did not know that Bautista is already old! and the way Asenjo looked up to Bautista made me want to go the the bookstore and buy and read all his books.


That's how this book really moved me, It made me laugh Hari Manawari, think and look back on the three wonderful Reyes' novels Panayamand feel interested on meeting a young lady writer Panayam.


What a book, Worth every minute that I spent on it, If you want to read a wellwritten Tagalog fantasy novel, if you are a Jun Cruz Reyes' fan or if you are wondering who Genevieve L, Asenjo is, go for this book, Malapit na malapit na ang ikalawang isyu ng Tapat! Tampok ang nobelang HARI MANAWARI ni German V, Gervacio, panayam kay Genevieve L, Asenjo at mga sanaysay sa tatlong nobela ni Jun Cruz Reyes, Abangan!.
