entry arrow12:00 PM | An Edith Tiempo Binder



In the dark days of the pandemic, Krip Yuson approached a bunch of us to do a series of Senior High School lesson plans centering on the works of National Artist for Literature Edith Lopez Tiempo, with the goal of transfiguring her works to other creative modes. This was a collaborative project between the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.

Niccolo Rocamora Vitug chose to do “From Poem to Song via Soundscape,” using Tiempo’s poem “Bonsai.” Alaric M. Yuson [a.k.a. Anygma] chose to do “Transforming Edith L. Tiempo’s Poetry to Hip Hop/Performative Rap.” Susan Severino Lara chose to do “Enhancing The Literary Content: From Critical Essay to Meme Adaptation,” using Tiempo’s critical essay “Enhancing The Poetic Content.”

And I chose to do an adaptation of the short story “The Black Monkey” into a screenplay.

This was around 2021, or thereabouts. [My memory is hazy!] But now we’re on the last leg of this project, and CCP has promised to make the material available online soon! This is really one good way to make the works of our National Artists become alive again.

Thank you, Beverly Wico Siy, for shepherding this project!
