The period of emergence  is the time of self-discovery and growth

among writers to create a literature of nationalistic appeal though
English language has been a trending literary medium in these
times.Aside from that, writers played with different literary forms and
techniques and they are categorized into three groups:
• Those concerned with social consciousness
• Those works for the craftsmanship
• Those who were eager to explore local color.  

Notes on The Emergent Period (1935-1945)

The years 1935 to 1945 saw the emergence of a significant trend in Philippine literature in English.
Jose M. Hernandez describes this period as a time of self-discovery and of rapid growth.
Hernandez proceeds by the enumerating the qualities of the period:

1. The writers consciously and purposefully to create a national literature.

2. The writers had gained full control of the English language and could successfully
manipulate it as a literary medium.
3. Experimentation with different literary forms and techniques and moods was the
fashion.
4. Three groups of writers emerged:
 Those who were concerned with social consciousness
 Those whose main concern was craftsmanship
 Those who were determined to explore local color. Some of the writers of this
group formed the Veronicans. 

There were many factors which lead to the flowering of creative energy in Filipino writing.
Nevertheless, Herbert Schneider, S. J. points to the following:

1. In 1937 the Philippine Book Guild was founded. Its purpose was to produce
literature and create a reading public.
2. In 1939 the Philippine Writer’s Guild was established. The creed of members was
to develop a common cultural consciousness among Filipinos.
3. The Free Press, The Graphic, and the Philippine Magazine followed a policy of
providing ample space for literary work in English.
4. The Commonwealth Literary Awards, established in 1940, gave the first
substantial prices to meritorious writers.
5. The policy adopted by newspapers to issue weekly supplements when literary
works were published.
The Japanese occupation of 1941-1945 brought this flowering of Philippine literature in English to
an abrupt close. The literary works that were produced were published abroad. Although the
Japanese occupation years produced little literary work of significance, the period was to become
a rich source of subject matter in the succeeding period.

The period of emergence saw a shift from romantic idealism to romantic realism. This realism
reached a climax in the stories of Manuel E. Arguilla, N. V. M. Gonzalez, and Nick Joaquin who
wrote effective portrayals of Filipino life evocative of rustic scenes, rising artistic value and
significance.

In poetry, the literary output was rather meager although there seemed to be genuine desire to
create new poetic modes of expression. The “schoolroom poets” still provided inspiration, and the
Romanticists and Victorians offered patterns that Filipino poets followed. The sonnet enabled them
to create love lyrics which captured nuances and moods through a more skilled manipulation of
language and imagery.

The revolt against traditional values and mores was first felt in poetry. Jose Garcia Villa was
charged with indecency when he published “Man Songs.” He was expelled from the University of
the Philippines but succeeded in awakening the Filipino poets to their inhibitive realities.

Jose Garcia Villa’s influence on Philippine poetry has been deeply felt. His first book of poems was
published in 1933. His second collection of poems, entitled “Poems by Doveglion,” won the
Commonwealth Literary Award for 1941.

The inauguration of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935 gave the Filipinos partial self-rule
preparatory to independence in 1946. This brought renewed political ferment into Philippine
literature.   

A group of essayist banded together to form the Philippine Writer’s League. They were animated
by the belief that “literature conditioned society.” One of the most articulate of this group was
Salvador P. Lopez.  In his first books of essays, “Literature and Society,” he insisted that the writer
should have a direct responsibility to society.

In the drama, the Western influence continued its firm hold on Filipino playwrights. Although the
West has already rebelled against photographic representations of life, the Filipino playwrights in
English were not yet at home with representational realism.

The Philippine drama in English lagged behind in development compared to other literary forms.
There are several reasons for this. One reason is that nationalistic themes and revolutionary
subjects were popular among the general public. Playwrights who adopted English as their vehicle
of artistic expression felt neither rebellious nor seditious.

Another reason may have been that movies took over the zarzuela despite the great competition
put up by the latter. Dramatic realism could not assimilate unrealistic dialogue and situations
resulting from the use of English.
Prominent among the playwrights of this period were Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero and Severino
Montano. Guerrero succeeded in establishing a drama tradition in the University of the Philippines
and had put up the UP Mobile Theater.

In the field of the novel, Juan C. Laya’s “His Native Souls” won the first Commonwealth Literary
Award in 1940. This novel tells of a Filipino repatriate who, having been educated abroad, finds
himself a stranger in his hometown. N. V. M. Gonzalez is prolific writer. He wrote “The Winds of
April.” He is a regional-realist and gives a down-to-earth portrayal of the farmers and fisherfolk.

1. Being different is a source of connection and belonging.

I find shared experiences when I speak with people who know what it is like to feel
different—people with disabilities, migrants, creative people, gay people, introverts,
recovering addicts, and many others.
Though we don’t share those particular characteristics, our mutual understanding of what
it is like to be different connects us, powerfully.
We know what it is like to be judged because of who we are. We know what it is like to
feel like outsiders or freaks. We know what it is like to try and hide our differences to fit in.
But fitting in is the opposite of being yourself. It leaves you sick inside.
What we really crave is to belong. When we are accepted despite or even because of our
differences, we have found true belonging.

A kaleidoscope (/ kəˈ laɪdəskoʊp /) is an optical instrument with two or more

reflecting surfaces (or mirrors) tilted to each other at an angle, so that one or more
(parts of) objects on one end of these mirrors are shown as a regular symmetrical
pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection.

Kaleidoscope World is a song of harmony and unity. It is the perfect example of

“unity in diversity”. We may be different by race, color, social status, age, gender,
intelligence, and power but we all form the beautiful and colorful shapes and
patterns in the kaleidoscope.

Every color and every hue as what the lyrics say in Francis Magalona's song, " The
Kaleidoscope World ", is represented by me and you. In this world, there are people
who have different personality types, different experiences, and different levels of
challenges encountered in every single point in time. People think alike, yet some are
in discord.

For me,the KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD song tells us that even though we are not the
same in some things but there are things that ties us for who we are today and what
we are. Just like the line; "Every color and every hue, is represented by me and
you." It speaks out that we, people in different countries can be able to be friends.
"Some are friends and some are foes some have some while some have most" this
line just supported above and also speaks out that we are are different in some
sections like emotions, mentally, physically and etc. but we can still be able to
support each other without no doubt. And this KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD by Francis M.
speaks out people in different kind...=D

People's differences

Given the title of the song kaleidoscope world, it goes with people's differences in
this world, we discriminate people and so we see differences in a negative way when
in truth differences make things more beautiful and colorful like a kaleidoscope we
see different colors but when together they make a fascinating sight and so the song
basically says seeing differences in a more positive way and see that without those
differences we would just be in one color and not so fascinating at all.
This song symbolizs the melody that differences bring. Individual differences really
matters in making a whole new world. Every people have their different talents and
differents skills that they can cntribute to make a colorful world. Differences in the
song is represented by different colors that make this world a better plce to live.
Differences is what make every individual of the world unique. The essence of the
song is for us to understand that even though we are different ways, we can be
united in one goal. To make this world a beautiful place to live in

What do you mean by domain?

Learning can be divided into three domains:

 Cognitive:  This is the most commonly used domain.  It deals with the

intellectual side of learning.
 Affective:  This domain includes objectives relating to interest, attitude, and
values relating to learning the information.
 Psychomotor:  This domain focuses on motor skills and actions that require
physical coordination.

What verbs should I use for each domain?

verbal cues are things we do to communicate intent to another person. Some

examples:

Two people run into each other at the store and are chatting. One person says,
“Well, it’s been…” You could probably hear the tone of that statement in your head
when you read it. It’s a common American verbal cue that means it’s time for this
conversation to end.

Here’s another one common to the education world. “Okay. Listen up….” It means
what follows that statement is important, so pay attention.

Last one from one friend to another. “Dude. Chill.” As you already know, it means
that you are being too intense about something.

Hope that helps.

1. According to an article from Scientific American, we’re more likely to think harder

about an issue when we’re talking to someone who is different than us: “Decades of

research by organizational scientists, psychologists, sociologists, economists and

demographers show that socially diverse groups (that is, those with a diversity of race,

ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation) are more innovative than homogeneous

groups.”
2..diversity in the classroom doesn’t just improve social skills, it can also have an impact

on academic results. It improves critical thinking skills and encourages

academic confidence.

According to a case study from The Century Foundation, students who attended a

magnet school in Hartford, Connecticut that was required to meet racial integration

standards through a lottery system outperformed students at suburban school

that had a higher percentage of affluent, white students on standardized

test scores.

The same report also found that effectively integrated schools had less misbehavior,

lower dropout levels and noticed that students were more likely to want to pursue post-

secondary education

3.When schools take inclusive and responsive approaches to diversity, students are

more likely to see their identity represented in classroom materials or other students.

When diversity is not a priority and these students don’t feel included, they’re more

likely to not participate and feel inferior to their peers.

4.Students are no exception to this rule. Diversity in the classroom helps

students develop social awareness which helps them appreciate
different perspectives and draw stronger conclusions. Challenging
students to consider different perspectives can also teach them how to interact
with their peers on a social level, and equip them with skills they’ll use for the
rest of their life.

1. Is diversity important?
When we hear the word “diversity” we think of race and maybe culture. Of
course, when speaking about the diversity of ethnicity, race and culture are
key aspects. But diversity is much broader. Diversity cuts across all facets
of our lives and it plays an important role, as important as helping us to
survive.
 Where’s the Patis? is an essay by Carmen Guerrero Nakpil that
explores the phenomenon of how “travel has become the great
Filipino dream.” Filipinos go abroad either to tour foreign landscapes
and experience other cultures or to work abroad so that they can give
their loved ones a better life. It is a sacrifice that a lot of Filipinos
have chosen to make.
In a foreign land, you must learn to adjust and adapt to a new culture
and to a new way of life. The way you dress, the way you speak, and
the way you act will gradually change according to social
conventions. However, it is said that “a Filipino may denationalize
himself but not his stomach.” Wherever we go, we will always crave a
taste of home, and there is no better way to experience that than by
eating a home cooked Filipino meal that reminds you of who you truly
are.
Where’s the Patis? reminds us that although it is good to discover
new things and to experience new customs, we must always
remember our roots, for it molded us into the person we are today

Hello, this is Bing. I’m happy to help you with your query.
According to the story “Where’s the Patis” by Carmen Guerrero Nakpil 1, some
of the international foods mentioned are:

 Dim sum and tea in Hong Kong1

 Sushi and sashimi in Tokyo1
 Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding in London 1
 Escargot and foie gras in Paris1

These foods originated from different countries and regions, such as:

 Dim sum is a type of Chinese cuisine that consists of small bite-sized portions
of food served in steamer baskets or small plates. It originated from the
Cantonese region of southern China, where it was a tradition to have tea and
snacks at teahouses.
 Tea is a beverage made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which is
native to East Asia. It was first cultivated in China around 2700 BC, and later
 spread to other parts of Asia and the world through trade and cultural
exchange.
 Sushi is a Japanese dish that consists of vinegared rice topped or wrapped
with various ingredients, such as raw fish, seafood, vegetables, or eggs. It
originated from a preserved fish dish called narezushi, which was fermented
with rice and salt. The modern form of sushi emerged in the Edo period (1603-
1868), when vinegar was used to season the rice and fresh fish was used as a
topping.
 Sashimi is a Japanese dish that consists of thinly sliced raw fish or meat,
served with soy sauce and wasabi. It originated from a practice of eating
freshly caught fish with vinegar and salt, which was later replaced by soy
sauce. The term sashimi means “pierced body”, referring to the way the fish
was cut.
 Roast beef is a British dish that consists of beef that is roasted in an oven until
tender and browned. It is usually served with gravy, potatoes, vegetables, and
Yorkshire pudding. It originated from the medieval times, when large joints of
meat were roasted on spits over open fires.
 Yorkshire pudding is a British dish that consists of a baked batter made from
eggs, flour, milk, and water. It is usually served with roast beef and gravy, or as
a dessert with jam or custard. It originated from the county of Yorkshire in
northern England, where it was a way of using up the fat and drippings from
the roast meat.
 Escargot is a French dish that consists of cooked land snails, usually served
with garlic butter, parsley, and bread. It originated from ancient times, when
snails were eaten by various cultures as a source of protein. The modern
preparation of escargot dates back to the 16th century, when it became a
delicacy among the French nobility.
 Foie gras is a French dish that consists of the liver of a duck or goose that has
been fattened by force-feeding. It is usually served as a pâté or terrine, or as a
slice on bread or toast. It originated from ancient Egypt, where birds were
fattened by feeding them figs. The practice was later adopted by the Greeks,
Romans, Jews, and French.

I hope this answers your question. Do you have any follow-up questions?

1. In the selection, Where's the Patis, some of the countries the author mentioned
were Hong Kong, Tokyo, London, Paris.
2. Escargot is a French dish that consists of cooked land snails, usually served with garlic

-Scotland's pink salmon
-Golden English Herring
-France's anchovies
-Belgium's green salad
-Italy's pasta
-Russia's caviar on ice
3. The Filipino in the story misses Filipino food so much because
even though he was in a high-end European restaurant, he kept on
comparing these food to Filipino dishes like sinigang, tapa, etc.
4. The Pinoy would eat with his kababayan, totally. Because he
misses his homeland so bad and what could ease that is eating with
a fellow kababayan or I think at least eat somewhere with Filipino
dishes because as he mentioned, no matter how much he tried it is
the Filipino food that cannot be replaced no matter where he goes.
5. It also depends on the situation and financial status of an person. It
is best to dine in at a Filipino Restaurant because the restaurant itself
is originated in the Philippines and it is best na "Tumangkilik tayo
sa sariling atin" in other words it is best to use our own products
because we are Filipino people
6. Food is a basic need for human being
