Ang Bayang Panitikan: Ang Pagtatanghal ng Kabanalan sa Pakil, Laguna, isang pagsasaliksik sa mga banal na gawain ng isang komunidad

Isang bagong aklat mula sa Ateneo University Press ay Ang Bayang Panitikan: Ang Pagtatanghal ng Kabanalan sa Pakil, Laguna ni Jerry C. Respeto, isang kahanga-hangang pag-aaral na naglalayong ituon ang pansin sa isang bayang tahimik subalit napakayaman sa buhay-komunidad at pananampalataya, na siyang humubog sa napakasaganang mga akdang pasalita at pasulat nito.  

Nagbibigay ang aklat ng panibagong paraan ng pag-unawa sa tradisyon, kasaysayan, panitikan, at sining. Mula sa nakalap na etnograpikong datos, inilalahad sa mga kabanata ng aklat ang mga anyo ng oral at pasulat na tekstong bunga ng mga gawaing banal, tulad ng pagdiriwang ng Turumba, Reenactment, Senyor, Flores, at Ping-as. Inilalarawan din ang pakikiisa ng mga Pakilenyo sa pagdaraos ng mga tradisyon at kung paano ang lahat ng ito ay umaayon sa topograpiya ng bayan: lawa, bundok, patag, at klima ng Pakil. 

Pinupuri ni  Glecy Atienza, propesor sa Departamento ng Filipino at Panitikan ng Pilipinas, Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Diliman, ang masusing pagsusuri ni Respeto: “Ang paglalarawang hitik sa de­tal­ye at ginagabayan ng maselang pagsasalansan ng paraan at ug­na­yan ay mainam na halimbawa ng mandala ng kaalamang nakatanim sa ba­wat ba­yang pi­na­na­na­ti­ling buháy ng mga habi ng kamalayang nasa ba­yang pa­ni­ti­kan.”

Binibigyang-pansin naman ni Galileo Zafra, direktor ng University of the Philippines Press, ang “maka-Filipinong metodo ng pananaliksik—tulad ng pakikipagkuwentuhan sa mga ma­ma­ma­yan, pakikilahok sa mga banal na gawain, at pakikipamuhay sa mga Pa­ki­len­yo.” 

Masisilayan at mararamdaman ang masidhing pananampalataya ng bayan hango sa kanilang panatang ipagpatuloy at pagtibayin ang kanilang mga  tradisyon at ritwal. Tayo ay pinupukaw at sinasamo ng aklat upang bigyan ng pansin at halaga ang yamang-bayan at kultura tungo sa pagpapalawak ng kamalayang pangkalahatan ng sambayanan. Ayon kay Nikki B. Carsi Cruz, katuwang na propesor sa Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila: “Jerry Respeto’s work is a relevant gift to all Filipinos in a time of eco-anxiety and climate crisis. What we need is to recover the sacred, and the people of Pakil can show us a way how. To read this epic work is to enter deeply into Pakil’s culture world—offering a way of seeing and sensing the world as Pakilenyos do—where the arts and acts of devotion serve to connect the seen and unseen—and where the sacred (in the natural and spiritworlds) is always honored and respected.”
