Book seen to help promote language, culture

,

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — A book on childhood memories and experiences on Kapampangan culture is now seen to help the Department of Education (DepEd) Order 74, which requires schools to offer a Kapampangan subject and use the dialect as medium of instruction in all subjects except Filipino and English.
This is mandated from kindergarten to grade three.

The book “Iniang Malati Ku,” written by Jose Irwin Nucum and published through the help of the Center for Kapampangan Studies, Municipal Government of Sto. Tomas and the City Government of San Fernando, features childhood memoirs on Kapampangan traditions and culture.
The book is entirely written in Kapampangan and is set to be launched on May 25.
“Due to the contemporary orthography used, the appeal of our native games, commonality of our experiences as Kapampangan race and the 240 entertaining caricatures, ‘Iniang Malati Ku’ can serve as a resource material for children especially those from Kindergarten to Grade 3,” Nucum told Sun.Star Pampanga.
He added that the book will undoubtedly be a positive step in promoting Kapampangan language and culture.
“My own stories would most probably be the tales of each cabalen, too. Because of the book, some parents have been telling me that their children have started asking on how to play the different games we ourselves tried then,” Nucum said.
Nucum also said the book will be endorsed before the Provincial Board by the Center for Kapampangan Studies.
He hoped it will be provided and distributed at government’s expense to all the public elementary schools and libraries of each barangay in Pampanga.
The Kapampangan Pride (an association of Kapampangans worldwide) and the OKMUSICA, a group of original Kapampangan artists in various fields, have already signified to issue same endorsement letters to the Provincial Board.
Center for Kapampangan Studies executive director Robert Tantingco is positive about the new book project.
“Most important of all, these recollections carry values without sounding pedantic. This is what makes Nucum’s book an excellent instructional material, especially in light of DepEd Order 74,” Tantingco said.
Tantingco said the range of human experiences that the book covers is astounding — from birth to death, from the innocence of childhood to the wisdom of old folks, from folk to pop culture, from Beatles to Voltes V — which makes one envy Nucum for living such a charmed life.
Nucum is a native of Sto. Tomas, Pampanga. He finished his Bachelor of Arts Major in Philosophy at the Mother of Good Counsel Seminary where he received cum laude honors.
He is an Outstanding Fernandino Awardee and works as corporate communications officer in the City of San Fernando.
