THE 50 thANNIVERSARY<br />
FELLOWSHIP NIGHT
From the<br />
DIRECTOR<br />
EMERITUS<br />
Dr. Edith L. Tiempo<br />
National Artist for Literature
BY MIRO FRANCES CAPILI<br />
We tried to write.<br />
We had positioned<br />
ourselves where our bodies<br />
would be able to cleave the wind,<br />
hoping perhaps to intercept what<br />
occult lore its salty tongues would<br />
carry; to entrap the utterances of the<br />
afternoon in free verse, realist fiction,<br />
villanelles, sci-fi, prose poetry. What<br />
precluded the wall, of course, was the<br />
pure verve of sea, that bladder of the<br />
warm earth, an unruly and irreducible<br />
reminder of timelessness. Everything<br />
else, among them the wispy periphery<br />
of sky, seemed simply to be what had<br />
happened to occur around at the time<br />
of creation.<br />
From time to time one of our poets would<br />
offer to read aloud what she had written, only to<br />
realize that the sibilance around us silenced both<br />
sound and subterrain of her imagery. The wideness<br />
of the sea, she began, and the sea was wider still.<br />
Waves making love, she tried, and it became<br />
impossible to ignore the sultry impassioning of<br />
water folding into water.<br />
We had tried, as fools do who trust in the<br />
glib promises of syntax and metaphors and line<br />
cuts, to discipline the dance; the lissomeness of the<br />
water, into written entry. But no theory instructs<br />
the mastery of seas. Memory cannot temper a<br />
rolling patch of sky. A rogue splinter of peach dusk<br />
explodes with too much ebullience to hold the grace<br />
of a poem. An afternoon offers its own syntactic<br />
patterns and resonances.<br />
And how do you dilute a sea, the near<br />
painful clarity of day, a summer of literature and<br />
noise, to ease into a story?<br />
I imagine it would take the same pains<br />
required to grow old and confuse home with<br />
memory, as the wise are able to do who’ve culled<br />
HOW TO<br />
WALK ON A<br />
SEAWALL<br />
their lives carefully. Keep in constant vigilance.<br />
Take long walks. Accept that falling spectator to<br />
the inaccessible rituals of waves, at times, comes at<br />
the expense of wordlessness. Grow a habit. Kick it<br />
after the second hour. Arrive at an awareness that<br />
a seawall in Dumaguete city has more in common<br />
than you think with the lamppost at the corner of<br />
the next street—it is a time, a place, an atmosphere,<br />
a parable, a tumor; a sweet kind of terror,<br />
something to despair over. Set store by William<br />
Stafford when he says, “For the person who follows<br />
with trust and forgiveness what occurs to him, the<br />
world remains always ready and deep, an<br />
inexhaustible environment, with the combined<br />
vividness of an actuality and flexibility of a dream.”<br />
You are surprised. How difficult it is to still<br />
the imperative of bodily experience, of wanderlust,<br />
of energy and movement, as you develop with age<br />
a skill for ordinary life. How rare now those images<br />
of brute, fervid illumination. You quit trying to<br />
make small talk in line for your passport<br />
application. The laundry waits in the hamper by<br />
the door. You find a quicker way to remove the<br />
dribbles of pumpkin soup from last night’s dress.
You find yourself most displaced in yourself. You<br />
wake up, wanting to follow the sounds of the<br />
morning.<br />
So you slip quietly out of the soul for some<br />
fresh air. Take a walk. Find a curious other<br />
Elsewhere, other Elsewhen, lying in the gutter, or<br />
warm in the outstretched hand of a beggar, or<br />
stowed away among old tickets in the compartment<br />
of a bus bound for a place whose name you can<br />
pronounce but can’t remember. Pick it up. You<br />
decide that this, what you have just found, could<br />
derail you. It could be a useless divergence you’re<br />
afraid to admit you have all the time for. You’re<br />
afraid it will rain for a million years within you,<br />
forming new seas; sail you away to a purer shore.<br />
Could usher you back into the discrete homicides<br />
of squat, ordinary life.<br />
But let’s say you’ve run into a profound<br />
enough moment of tenderness—your first<br />
awareness of how great of this world the Negros<br />
Sea seems to annex, for instance, when you reach a<br />
certain hilly point of Siquijor. You get wind of this<br />
possibility while top-loading a jeepney, and a year<br />
later you are still suspicious of where the ride had<br />
ended. You spend weekends at beaches within the<br />
proximity of Metro Manila, wondering why no one<br />
else notices that the “white” sand the ads were so<br />
proud of more closely resembles gravel, or that the<br />
milky waters have forgotten how they had<br />
themselves once seemed to dream up the color<br />
cerulean. You arrive home and greet your mother<br />
ma’ayong hapon (your family hails from Batangas).<br />
Obedient to a warning you once heard about<br />
vampires in Siquijor leading human lives by day,<br />
you avert your gaze from men wearing reflective<br />
shades on the way to school. And you have been<br />
breathless so often from the dressings of strange<br />
plants sprouting from the lawns of random<br />
neighbors, from the grain crackling all over the<br />
corners of old silent films, from the word decadence<br />
and how it sounds like the butter melting in the<br />
cleavage of your morning pan de sal. You become<br />
difficult to please.<br />
Your wife, your lover, a classmate, will at<br />
some point harbor suspicion from your attachment<br />
to precious little instances of life. They will doubt<br />
the triumphs you find in a can of soup, a better<br />
edition of The Shipping News; of lying on a seawall,<br />
observing a lamppost. That they will declare your<br />
sanity upended and recommend a good<br />
psychiatrist is a possibility. Live with it.<br />
Stuff the new wonder in a place whose<br />
sound and silence only you understand. Often your<br />
thumb will seek it out and attempt to stroke it,<br />
reacquainting itself with the rough corners and<br />
willowy indents in reverent little gestures. Let it.<br />
A tacit smile, in turn, will find a way to seek out<br />
your face when this happens. Let it grow.<br />
Now begin the walk back to where you<br />
remember your old house was. Lose your way. Find<br />
it eventually, in a place between the tagline of a<br />
slimming tea ad you once read while taking a piss<br />
during a stopover, and the second name of the man<br />
who sold you your first harmonica. Try to act<br />
surprised when you find yourself unable to walk<br />
right back in.<br />

The National Writers Workshop<br />
in Dumaguete is the oldest<br />
creative writing program in<br />
Asia. The Workshop has been directed<br />
for the past 50 years by National Artist<br />
for Literature Dr. Edith L. Tiempo,<br />
along with her husband and<br />
Workshop founder, the late Dr.<br />
Edilberto K. Tiempo. In 2009, Dr. Edith<br />
Tiempo was named Director Emeritus<br />
of the National Writers Workshop,<br />
now known as the <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
National Writers Workshop.<br />
The <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong> National Writers<br />
Workshop is the only three-week long writers<br />
workshop in the country, devoted to helping<br />
writers hone their craft in the genres of poetry,<br />
fiction, nonfiction, and drama. As the longest<br />
running among the nation’s writing workshops, the<br />
<strong>Silliman</strong> Workshop has trained several generations<br />
of writers, many of whom are now influencing the<br />
shape, direction, and development of Philippine<br />
literature. Over six hundred young writers have<br />
received the workshop fellowships, which are open<br />
for annual competitions. Many of these writers<br />
have won major prizes in the Don Carlos Palanca<br />
Literary Awards, the Philippine Graphic Literary<br />
Contest, and the Philippines Free Press Literary<br />
About the Workshop<br />
Contest, among others. With the workshop’s<br />
integrity and tradition over the years, it has become<br />
a rite of passage for the country’s finest writers.<br />
Apart from <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong>, over the<br />
years the Workshop has received support from the<br />
Ford Foundation, the National Commission for<br />
Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the CAP Family of<br />
Companies, the Creative Writing Foundation, the<br />
Dumaguete Literary Arts (DuLA) Group, and<br />
various cultural institutes based in the United States<br />
ad Europe.<br />
Last 2010 marked a milestone in the<br />
development of Philippine literature and the<br />
writing craft, as the <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong> National<br />
Writers Workshop, headed by its first Director-in-<br />
Residence Dr. Rowena Tiempo-Torrevillas and the<br />
visionary Dr. Ben S. Malayang III, <strong>University</strong><br />
President, first invited a writer beyond the<br />
Philippines to sit in as a guest panelist for a week<br />
to enrich the workshop by infusing Asian<br />
consciousness. The first international guest writer<br />
was Hong Kong’s Xu Xi. For 2011, it is Singapore’s<br />
Kirpal Singh.<br />
Also in 2010, <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong> welcomed<br />
the panelists, writing fellows, workshop alumni,<br />
and guests to the Writers Village at Camp Lookout,<br />
Valencia; its realization made possible through<br />
generous hearts.
EDITH L. TIEMPO, poet, fictionist,<br />
teacher and literary critic is one of the<br />
finest Filipino writers in English<br />
whose works are characterized by a<br />
remarkable fusion of style and substance,<br />
of craftsmanship and insight. She was born<br />
on 22 April 1919 in Bayombong, Nueva<br />
Vizcaya. Her poems are intricate verbal<br />
transfigurations of significant experiences<br />
as revealed, in two of her much<br />
anthologized pieces, “The Little Marmoset”<br />
and “Bonsai”. As fictionist, Tiempo is as<br />
morally profound. Her language has been<br />
marked as “descriptive but unburdened by<br />
scrupulous detailing.” She is an influential<br />
tradition in Philippine literature in English.<br />
Together with her late husband, Edilberto<br />
K. Tiempo, she founded and directed the<br />
<strong>Silliman</strong> National Writers Workshop in<br />
Dumaguete City, which has produced some<br />
of the country’s best writers. Tiempo’s<br />
published works include the novel A Blade<br />
of Fern (1978), His Native Coast (1979), The<br />
Alien Corn (1992), One, Tilting Leaves (1995)<br />
and The Builder (2003); the poetry collections,<br />
The Tracks of Babylon and Other Poems (1966),<br />
and The Charmer’s Box and Other Poems<br />
(1993); and the short story collection Abide,<br />
Joshua, and Other Stories (1964). (Adapted from<br />
the National Commission for Culture and the<br />
Arts website)<br />
About the founders
About the founders<br />
Fiction-writer and literary critic<br />
EDILBERTO K. TIEMPO was born<br />
in 1913. He obtained his M.F.A. from<br />
the <strong>University</strong> of Iowa and his Ph.D. in<br />
English from the <strong>University</strong> of Denver. In<br />
addition to having been a Guggenheim and<br />
Rockefeller fellow, Dr. Tiempo, alongside<br />
wife Edith, spent around four years<br />
studying literature and creative writing in<br />
the Iowa Writers Workshop. Upon<br />
returning to the Philippines in 1962, the<br />
Tiempos founded the <strong>Silliman</strong> National<br />
Writers Workshop after the objectives of the<br />
Iowa writers’ clinic. In the 1960s, he taught<br />
in two American schools, but it was <strong>Silliman</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> which Tiempo chose as his base,<br />
serving as department chair, graduate<br />
school dean, vice-president for academic<br />
affairs, and writer-in-residence. He reaped<br />
numerous honors for his writing, among<br />
them the Cultural Center of the Philippines<br />
Prize, Palanca Awards, the National Book<br />
Award, and a prize in the U.P. Golden<br />
Anniversary Literary Contest. He authored<br />
over a dozen books in his lifetime. Titles<br />
include the collections A Stream at Dalton<br />
Pass and Other Stories (1970), Snake Twin and<br />
Other Stories (1992) and Literary Criticism in<br />
the Philippines and Other Essays (1995); as well<br />
as the novels Cry Slaughter (1957), which had<br />
four New York printings and six European<br />
translations, To Be Free (1972), the awardwinning<br />
More Than Conquerors (1982), and<br />
Cracked Mirror (1984). Tiempo died in<br />
September of 1996, but his final novel, Farah,<br />
saw print in 2001. (Adapted from the Panitikan<br />
website)
When the first Filipino<br />
President of <strong>Silliman</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong>, Dr. Leopoldo<br />
T. Ruiz, gave his inaugural address at<br />
our commencement on 6 April 1953,<br />
he defined the true university as one<br />
where, among others, there is<br />
“constant enlargement of the horizons<br />
of man’s knowledge...”<br />
Until today, successive administrations of<br />
the <strong>University</strong> have been measured against such<br />
yardstick as defined by Dr. Ruiz, and as one of the<br />
innovative academic programs introduced in the<br />
university in the summer of 1962, this National<br />
Writers Workshop is then one of those pillars of<br />
the true university.<br />
Indeed, whether in creative, research, or<br />
academic writing, a university cannot be one<br />
without a solid, stable program in writing. At<br />
<strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong>, where the first three chairmen<br />
of the English Department—Dr. Metta Jacobs<br />
<strong>Silliman</strong>, Dr. Edilberto K. Tiempo, and Dr. Edith L.<br />
Tiempo—shaped her destiny, the National Writers<br />
Workshop was a natural progression that brought<br />
the <strong>University</strong> into international prominence. And<br />
as the brainchild of husband-and-wife team, Dr. Ed<br />
and Dr. Edith Tiempo, another natural progression<br />
is their daughter taking over—Dr. Rowena Tiempo-<br />
Torrevillas, the Writers Workshop’s current<br />
Director-in-Residence.<br />
For the past three weeks, we welcomed to<br />
this gathering of minds the creative writers who<br />
are striving to perfect their craft in spite of a<br />
rigorous journey in the process of discovering their<br />
strengths and weaknesses. This is a program so<br />
structured to develop one’s critical insights to<br />
expand one’s knowledge—the true horizon of the<br />
true university. For wasn’t it the American<br />
management guru, Peter Drucker, who gave us the<br />
From the<br />
Acting<br />
President
term “knowledge work,” describing it as work that<br />
is not easily designed because knowledge does not<br />
result in a product but instead, in a contribution of<br />
knowledge to somebody else?<br />
Such then is the hallmark of the true<br />
university—where “knowledge work” is<br />
generated, criticized, expanded, analyzed,<br />
assimilated—an academic program of the National<br />
Writers Workshop that only <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
can design and achieve!<br />
For the past three weeks, the design of<br />
creative writing as knowledge not only sharpened<br />
some more to conform to what a true university is,<br />
but also, each one of the writing fellows—<br />
individually screened and selected—were tested to<br />
the limit by the mentors of this innovative summer<br />
program, a knowledge journey towards selfdiscovery<br />
of qualities that are self-imposed in their<br />
desire to perfect their craft.<br />
Now then is a happy moment for us in the<br />
<strong>University</strong> to have welcomed everyone of our<br />
writing fellows to the Rose Lamb-Sobrepeña<br />
Writers Village, the permanent home of <strong>Silliman</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong>’s Writers Workshop.<br />
In the last three weeks, I am sure that our<br />
fellows have also discovered that although the Rose<br />
Lamb Sobrepeña Writers Village is only a year old,<br />
it is also the only place on this earth where the<br />
tranquility of the environment could give them<br />
their needed serenity to achieve their creative<br />
genius! Again, congratulations on having been<br />
admitted to this summer’s program!<br />

At this moment, across the<br />
planet, the fields of Iowa are<br />
being tilled and prepared for<br />
planting the seed that will feed the<br />
whole world.<br />
Where we are today, a world away, the seeds<br />
from Iowa — the nursery of writing worldwide,<br />
the Iowa Writers’ Workshop — are being reaped<br />
in our midst: fifty years of the written word, shared,<br />
cultivated, celebrated in a golden harvest.
May 2011 is the fiftieth<br />
anniversary of the National<br />
Writers Workshop. Let us<br />
try to trace briefly, dwelling only on<br />
the broad historical contours, the<br />
evolution of the National Writers<br />
Workshop.<br />
In 1961, National Artist for Literature Dr.<br />
Edith L. Tiempo and her late husband, Dr. Edilberto<br />
K. Tiempo, planted the seed for what is now the<br />
<strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong> National Writers workshop.<br />
In 2010, 49 years later, <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong>,<br />
through a generous donation of Atty. Enrique<br />
Sobrepeña Jr., an Outstanding <strong>Silliman</strong>ian Awardee<br />
in the field of business, realized its vision to create<br />
a Writers Village on this gentle slope at the foothills<br />
of Mount Talinis as primary venue for the National<br />
Writers Workshop, and as a home for writers away<br />
from the distractions of city life.<br />
Now in 2011, the National Writers<br />
Workshop celebrates its fiftieth anniversary. We<br />
pause to think—we are now at the threshold of<br />
another fifty years, or a hundred years or more, for<br />
as long as there are writers who write about life,<br />
love, friendship, loyalty, honor, or about hatred,<br />
greed, envy, betrayal, dishonor, all universal<br />
themes that have preoccupied writers throughout<br />
the ages.<br />
Yes, we pause to think, what’s next? For now<br />
the <strong>University</strong>’s most immediate dream or vision<br />
is the Asianization of the Writers Workshop—<br />
inviting panelists and fellows from neighboring<br />
Asian countries to create a space for a vibrant blend<br />
in the literary arts and writing craft, and expanding<br />
<strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s relevance and reach beyond<br />
its campus by the sea to gain value as an institution<br />
to others beyond itself.<br />
This vision became a reality in 2010 when<br />
we invited a notable Hong Kong-based writer, Xu<br />
From the<br />
Workshop<br />
Coordinator
Xi, a veteran in writers’ workshops, as guest<br />
panelist. This year, we have expanded to two Asian<br />
guests from Singapore: one, a young Singaporean<br />
student—Jasmine Teh—as writing fellow, and the<br />
other, her mentor, Dr. Kirpal Singh, a notable<br />
Singaporean writer and another veteran in writers’<br />
workshops, as guest panelist in the last week of the<br />
workshop. The National Writers Workshop is a<br />
three-week workshop—the longest writing<br />
workshop in the Philippines.<br />
This is one of the highlights in the workshop<br />
calendar for May 2011. Another highlight is the<br />
<strong>Gala</strong> and Awarding Ceremonies tonight at the<br />
Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium, when<br />
institutions and persons who have supported and<br />
contributed to the development and growth of the<br />
National Writers Workshop will be recognized.<br />
Amazingly, there seems to be an<br />
inexplicable convergence of circumstances, a<br />
happenstance that can make one superstitious (or<br />
one think that this augurs successful fruitful<br />
ventures in the future): this is the visit to <strong>Silliman</strong><br />
on the last days of the workshop by Prof. Robin<br />
Hemley, director of the Non-fiction <strong>Program</strong> at the<br />
<strong>University</strong> of Iowa, who is visiting with twenty<br />
students.<br />
Why this convergence of circumstances?<br />
Why now at this threshold of the next fifty or more<br />
years of the Workshop’s existence, when there is a<br />
lot of wondering as to what would happen next,<br />
some dreaming or envisioning?<br />
We see that what started as a seed in 1961,<br />
and followed by a vision in 2010, are now realities<br />
in 2011. Let me end with this thought: dreams and<br />
visions are the stuff realities are made of.<br />

About the writers village<br />
The Mary Rose Lamb Sobrepeña Writers Village is a gift by Atty.<br />
Enrique Sobrepeña Jr.—1973 Outstanding <strong>Silliman</strong>ian<br />
Awardee in the field of business—to <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong>. Atty.<br />
Sobrepeña’s dedication to the arts has helped establish <strong>Silliman</strong>’s role<br />
as a hub for literature and creative writing in Asia. The Writers Village<br />
is named in honor of his wife Mary Rose Lamb Sobrepeña.<br />
Today, the site is the primary venue for the <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong> National Writers<br />
Workshop, founded by Drs. Edilberto and Edith Tiempo in 1961. The Writers Village, a<br />
project initiated by <strong>University</strong> President Dr. Ben S. Malayang III, is part of a long tradition<br />
of gifts to the <strong>University</strong> from the Sobrepeñas, avid patrons who have also helped keep<br />
the workshop alive as keen supporters through the years.<br />
The donation for the creation of the Writers Village, located in Camp Lookout, in<br />
Bongbong, Valencia, was facilitated by former <strong>University</strong> President Dr. Quintin S.<br />
Doromal. Groundbreaking rites were held on 15 November 2009, and dedication rites<br />
were held on 13 April 2010. The Village was first used for the 49th National Writers<br />
Workshop in May 2010.<br />
The Writers Village is now home to writers of all persuasions. Its establishment<br />
helps promote the arts and culture at <strong>Silliman</strong> <strong>University</strong> and in the Dumaguete and<br />
Negros Oriental community.
