For the first time in the history of Maui in general and in the history of Maui Community College in particular, Ilokano Plus is going to be offered in this island this Fall 2008. The initial class, to be conducted in the morning and afternoon at Laulima 107, will be on September 20.

Under the auspices of the college's Office of Continuing Education and Training and specifically through the Vital Innovative Training and Economic Development Center or VITEC, Ilokano Plus will be offered to members of the community who deal or work with the large Ilokano community in the island or for those who wish to enhance their linguistic skills in Ilokano.

The Ilokano people comprise the majority of Filipino Americans in the State of Hawai'i. Some estimates put the Ilokano and Ilokano-descended members of the community at 85% of the total Filipino population, hence the need for members of the community to be equipped with the skills needed to deal with this large population.

Ilokano Plus introduces the rudiments of Ilokano language as spoken everyday in various community and professional contexts such as social services, health and medical services, the courts and the juridical services, education and immigration, and the mass media.

Majority of the radio programs in the State of Hawai'i are Ilokano or Ilokano-oriented. Popular cultural forms are also heavily Ilokano-slanted. Many of the civic and cultural organizations, aside from the alliance of Visayan organizations, are run by Ilokanos. All these point to the fact that Ilokano is needed as a language in this state, as has been recognized by the courts system through their Ilokano certification program for court interpreters. The University of Hawai'i at Manoa has been offering Ilokano since 1972 and is now offering it as one of its Bachelor of Arts programs.

Using integrative approaches to language learning, Ilokano Plus has been designed to equip the learners with the skills needed to deal with this large Ilokano community. It is open to heritage learners as well as to those professionals who need an orientation on the language in an effort to reach out to their clients and to the community.

Ilokano Plus is taught by Dr. Aurelio Solver Agcaoili, program coordinator and assistant professor for Ilokano at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.

Agcaoili is an award-winning educator and creative writer. A novelist, he won the Centennial Literary Prize for his historical fiction, "Dangadang." He has won the Carlos Palanca Awards, the Cultural Center of the Philippines Poetry Prize, the Commission on the Filipino Language Collantes Award, the Rizal Literary Awards, among others for his poetry, short story, and essays. He writes in Ilokano, English, and Tagalog.

For those wishing to register, call the MCC's OCET at 808-984-3231 or 808-984-3461.

Five Filipino writers will be awarded cash to be able to finish their projects in fiction, essay, biography and poetry by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), led by its chairman Dr. Vilma Labrador and executive director Cecile Guidote Alvarez, through its 2007 NCCA Writers’ Prize, one of the country’s top literary awards.

Ed Maranan, Elyrah Loyola Salanga, Telesforo Sungkit, Jr., Kristian Sendon Cordero and Rosario Cruz-Lucero will be honored with a trophy, a certificate and the first tranche of P50,000 each at the awarding ceremony on July 25, 2008, at the lobby of the NCCA Building in Intramuros at 6 p.m.

In the essay in English category, Maranan’s The Country in the Heart: A Writer’s Times and Travels is chosen. He is a veteran fictionist, poet, activist and teacher.

A professor at the University of the Philippines, 28-year-old Elyrah Loyola Salanga wins in the literary biography category. Her project, Alfrredo Navarro Salanga: Sa Mga Pahina at Ibang Salaysay, will tell about his father, the great late writer Alfredo Navarro Salanga. Elyrah has already won a Carlos Palanca Award for essay in 2006.

In the novel in Cebuano category, the prize goes to Telesforo Sungkit, Jr., who is now based in Laguna but hails from Bukidnon, for his project Mga Gapnod sa Kamad-an.

Kristian S. Cordero wins in the poetry in Bicolano category for his project Segunda Mano. Hailing from Iriga City, Cordero teaches at the Ateneo de Naga University, is author of two collections of poetry and has won several awards including a Palanca Award for short story and the Madrigal-Gonzales Best First Book Award in 2006.

Rosario Cruz-Lucero, prominent writer, critic, professor at the University of the Philippines and Palanca awardee, wins in the short story in English category for her Papa’s Field and Other Stories of the Disappeared.

There are no winners in the drama category in any of the Panay languages.

The winners will be given a grant of P250,000.00 gross each to assist them during the writing stage of the project and will be given in four tranches. The grant is good for one year, after which a manuscript of the writing project will be submitted to the NCCA for possible publication.

The biennial award was spearheaded by National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario when he was executive director of the NCCA. This is in line with NCCA’s mission to “encourage the continuing development of a pluralistic culture by the people themselves,” will be creating the opportunity to have a direct hand in the development of Filipino literature. With this grant, the NCCA Writers’ Prize, writers will be freed from the demands of their work and shall be able to focus on the writing of the project for one year.
