 Bikol Literature
To the advantage and detriment of Bikolanos, a
good number of them are multilingual and are
normally proficient no only in bikol, their
regional language, but also in English and
Filipino. Prominent writers such as screenwriter
Ricky LEE and Poet Marne Kilates are both
natives of Bikol, yet are known as Bikolano
Writers. It is also sad that there are very few Pre-
Hispanic Bikol works that have been collected
and published.
 Bikolano Writers
Ricky Lee – a Bicolano screenwriter,
journalist novelist and playwright. A
writer with modern and realistic tones,
he has worked with best Filipino directors
like Lino Brocka, Ishmael Bernal , Chito

more than 180 films screenplays, which
earbed him more than 70 trophies from
various award-giving bodies including
three life achievement awards from the
Cinemanila.

Mount Mayon are already very accustomed to

Despite the constant threat of danger, however, the
volcano remains one of the most popular tourist
destinations in the Philippines.
Like many locations in the Philippines, Mount
Mayon has a fascinating legend that tells that tells
the story of its creation. “The legend of Daragang
Magayon” is a romantic and exciting story that tells

Ayon sa alamat, lason ng pana ni Pagtuga, ang
lumikha sa bulkan—libingan ito ng dalagang
namatay sa isang digmaan.

Ngayon, ano ang tutubo sa paanan ng Mayon

gayong nagiging malawak na itong sementeryo
ng abo, ng tao. Manganganak na kayâ ito?
Tinitigan ko ang nakangangang bulkan—
binabalot ng ulap at ng sariling usok ang tuktok,
gatas sa labi.
