Foundation Day
Our history pried open by men cassocked, white, sweaty and our daughter, days-dead, returned to us as herself: as this story made us for them true, we lay it into cobblestone and mortar. When the quake spared only the belfry we rebuilt in each other the story instead: this town was founded on good. Told by the great story to endure with no end goodness we wound around the streets the marble and gilt blessing of the child savior, we dressed the patron saint of disappointing progeny in a robe worth more than our bodies our devotion made us name our streets after the story’s authors and favorite virtues. Our days they say were slow and irreparable a fact of the town never escaping its fate as town. When our pink-faced masters severed the heathen hands of our rebel, who while uttering a war cry raised the bishop’s staff, the story appeased us into shame, our shame cracking into malice mildewed church pews of too many storms, his screams of agony giving us our wrath—our wrath a fact we own a pact through which we could retrieve ourselves.

Bukambibig Volume 1, Issue 2: Resistance
About Bukambibig Bukambibig began as most things do - with a small group of people, and an idea. The idea was that good literature deserved not only to be written, but to be read - and read by all. Our shared dream was to bring performance poetry to Filipinos everywhere, and to ensure that literature exposure remained a two-way street: writers would be able to reach a wider audience, and readers would be introduced to works of poetry that they might otherwise not have known. We wanted to push the limits of accessibility that exist between writer and reader, by providing an avenue where the poetry is excellent enough to lend a voice to itself, and where the audience, unhampered by geography, can listen. Bukambibig is the country’s first multilingual and digital folio of performance poetry in Binisayå, Bikol, English, Hiligaynon & Kinaray-a, Ilokano, Pangasinan, and Tagalog written by Filipino poets residing in the country or in diaspora. We hope that with this folio, we will be able to bridge the performance to the page, one issue at a time.
