 RECAP

In the previous lesson, we learned about the excerpt “Lengua Para Diablo” in
which we examine the relationship of context with the text meaning. It was
mentioned that it is important to take deeper research about the author of the text
before reading it, because it gives us deeper understanding of the literary text.

LESSON

What is next for Philippine literature? Have you ever wondered what new
book will be printed soon, what new literature will be depicted in the next
blockbuster movie, or what new poems will be published?

There are many new genres coming out in Philippine literature. Some of
them gained ground and following. Some have branched out to other forms of
media, such as theater or movies. Some are just beginning and are starting to blaze
their own path in the local literature scene.

One of these had everyone surprised at how popular it has become. The
comics or komiks, as it is known in the Philippines, is one of the most daily and has
been the go-to entertainment form of some Filipinos. Some of the most famous ones
are Mang Ambo of Larry Alcala, Pugad Baboy by Pol Medina, and News Hardcore by
Manix Abrera. However, there is one comic book that has gained a lot momentum
in mainstream media.

Carlo Vergara’s AngKagilas-Gilas na Pakikipagsapalaran ni Zsazsa Zaturnah

has won the National Book Award in 2003, despite being self-published in 2002. It
is also unique because even if it follows the life of a superhero (in the wonder
Woman or Darna), it has a gay male character in the lead, who is named Ada. He
manages a beauty parlor and believes in himself, although his parents have
disowned him. After a series of failures and failed relationship, Ada moves to a
small town and receives a rock from the sky with the word “Zaturnnah” on it. When
he ingested it, he shouts “Zaturnnah!” and becomes a beautiful red—haired woman
and a crime-fighter. He names himself “ZsazsaZaturnnah”.

The character of Zsazsa Zaturnnah has gained a loyal cult following among
comic book readers in the country. It is so successful that it became a stage play,
with Eula Valdez as Zsazsa and TuxqsRutaquio as Ada. The play was staged many
times, with that last one being in Tanghalang Pilipino where it ran for 91 shows,
making it the longest running stage musical ever staged there.

In 2006, the comic book (which may sometimes be called a graphic novel)
was adapted into a movie, with Rustom Padilla, as Ada and Zsazsa Padilla as
ZsazsaZaturnah. It has won several film awards, including best supporting actor
and best screen song from the GawadTanghalan Awards.

How come Zsazsa Zaturnnah gained so much popularity over the years and
is still gaining popularity up until now? What makes comics so endearing to its
readers that even now, newspapers have a popular comics section? What does this
say about the future of Philippine literature?

Philippine literature is constantly evolving, which means that there are more
outputs in which you as a student will enjoy in the near future. One way to
embrace these changes is through multimedia presentations.

Multimedia is a combination of text, graphic, sound, animation and video

that is delivered by computer.

• When you allow the user to control what and when these elements are
delivered, it is interactive multimedia.
• When you provide a structure of linked elements through which the user can
navigate, interactive multimedia becomes hypermedia. Hypermedia is a way
of organizing multimedia information by linking media elements. World wide
web is the largest and most used of hypermedia application.

VALUING

Multimedia plays an important role in today's society because it’s a good way
for communication. Nowadays, multimedia is not only offering entertainment and
learning. It also serves as a connection to the people. One good example is with the
churches. With the pandemic that continuously challenging our faith with God,
many people want to go to the church and pray. But, still it is very limited until
now. Thanks to Facebook and other social media that use combination of contents
like text, image, color or audio-video, termed as multimedia contents. People now
have given the chance to feed their spiritual hungriness and make their faith in
God strengthen, because as Christians we believe that “worry ends when faith in
God begins.”
