Impong Sela

ni: Epifanio G. Matute

 

Noon ay kataimtimang minamalas ni Impong Sela ang kanyang lalabing-animing taong apong lalaki sa pagkakahigang walang katinag-tinag.Ang matanda’y nakaramdam ng isang biglang bugso ng lungkot sa kanyang dibdib.Ang lagnat ng bata ay nawala na,dalawang araw na ang nakararaan,salamat sa kanyang santong kalagyo,ngunit ngayo’y ito’y kanyang kinababalisa.Nalalaman niyang ang lagnat na lubhang mapanganib.

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

  Siya ang naging dahilan na malimit na pagkakagalit ni Conrado at ni Impong Sela Si Impong Sela ay nagsisimulang mag-isip nang malalim.Kailangang si Pepe’y maligtas sa kuko ng kamatayan.Natatandaan pa niyang ang panata ring iyon ang nagligtas sa kanyang anak na ama ni Pepe nang ito’y pitong taon pa lamang.Maya-maya,ang maysakit ay kumilos.Dahan-dahang idiinilat niya ang kanyang mga mata wari’y nananaginip at saka tumingin-tingin sa kanyang paligid.Hindi naglaon,namataan niya ang kanyang impo sa kanyang tabi.”Lola” ang mahinang tawag.”Oy,ano iyon,iho?” ang tugon ni Impong Sela.”Nagugutom na ako”.Ang matanda ay nag-atubili.Gatas,sabaw ng karne,katas ng dalandan,tsaa,at wala na.Pagkaraan ng ilang sandali,si Impong Sela’y nagbalik na taglay na sa kamay ang isang pinggang kanin na sinabawan ng sinigang na karne,at isang kutsara.Pagkakita sa pagkain ,si Pepe’y nagpilit makaupo ngunit pabagsak na napahigang muli sa unan.Sa tulong ng kanyang lola,si Pepe’y nakasandal din sa sa unan.At siya’y sinimulan nang pakainin ni Impong Sela .Si Conrado’y patakbong pumasok sa silid at tinangkang agawin mula kay Impong Sela ang pinggan ngunit huli na!Ang pinggan ay halos wala nang laman.Ang dalawang maliit na kapatid ni Pepe’y tumatakbong pumasok sa loob ng silid.At dinulot ni Impong Sela sa mga bata ang natirang pagkain ni Pepe.Si +

Totoy at si Nene ay nag-atubili at tinapunan ng tingin ang kanilang amang pagkatapos ng mahabang “Sermon” ng kanilang lola ay walang nagawa kundi ang magsawalang-kibo na lamang.Kinabukasan,si Pepe’y nahibang sa lagnat.Nagbalik ito sa isang matinding bugso na siyang hindi ikapalagay ng maysakit.Tila siya iniihaw,pabiling-biling sa hihigan,at nakalulunos kung humahalinghing.Sa mga mata ni Sinang na kanyang ina ay nalalarawan ang isang paghihirap ng kaloobang isang ina lamang ang maaring makadama sa gayong mga sandali,samantalang minamalas niya ang kahambal-hambal na ayos ng kanyang anak.Hindi nagkamali ang doctor.Sa loob ng ng sumunod na oras ay pabali-balikwas si Pepe sa kanyang hihigan at naghihiyaw ng kung anu-anong ikinakakagat ng labi ng mga nakamamalas.

 Sa mukha ni Conrado ay biglang sumulak ang dugo!Ibig niyang humiyaw,ibig niyang magtaklob na ang langit at lupa!

 

 

   Umagang-umaga kinabukasan,nagtaka na lamang sila’t natagpuan nila sa isang sulok si Impong Sela nananangis,umiiyak na nag-iisa.Siya’y hindi man lamang tinuluan ng luha nang si  Pepe’y naghihirap at saka ngayon pang si Pepe’y matiwasay na,salamat sa suwerong tinusok sa kanya  ng manggagamot.Katakataka o hindi katakataka,ang luha ni Impong Sela ay nagpatuloy ng pagdaloy hanggang ang mga luntiang damo,sa ibabaw ng puntod ng pinakamamahal niyang apo,ay halos isang dangkal na ang angat sa lupa.

 

 

 

 

V-Reaksyon

 

Saloobin:

       

 Dapat inisip ni Impong Sela ang ikabubuti ng kanyang apo.Kung mahal niya ang kanyang  apo na si Pepe,dapat alam niya ang ikalulunas ng sakit ng kanyang apo hindi magsisisi sa huli.

 

Opinyon:

 

Maalaga at maaalahanin si Impong Sela sa kanyang apo pero hindi niya sinusunod ang bilin ng kanyang anak at ng doctor.

 

Pagpapahalaga:

 

Kung sinunod lang ni Impong sela ang bilin ng doktor o payo ng kanyang anak,sana buhay pa ang kanyang apo na si Pepe.

 

 

 

GMA Network’s newest primetime offering, I LUV NY, is set in the romantic city of New York. This is the first Philippine primetime TV soap to use a world-class location as its backdrop, around which revolves the story of the four main characters Baste, Natalie, Albert and Polly. The romantic tale begins with Baste’s dreams of earning enough money to go to the United States to look for his long-lost mother. Rumor has it she resides in California. By a stroke of luck, he is picked as a contestant on Laban O Bawi, and chances upon a way of fulfilling his dreams. However, instead of landing in California, he finds himself in New York. Life then takes an even more interesting turn when he meets Natalie (Jennylyn Mercado). In New York, Natalie runs away from home because her parents insist on marrying her off to a young man she doesn’t know. It isn’t that they don’t love her. Her family’s failing business needs this marriage if they are going to stay afloat. But Natalie refuses to be a sacrificial lamb. And then there’s Albert, Natalie’s close cousin. Due to his spate of love problems, Albert often takes his anger out on his employees. Fed up with his behavior, his receptionist resigns. This is where Polly (Jolina Magdangal) comes in, for as soon as she reads in the papers about the opening for a receptionist in the apartment, she immediately applies for the job. Unknown to Polly, her would-be boss is her exact opposite – for just as Polly’s life is topsy-turvy, the neat-freak Albert’s is completely organized! Witness how the paths of four completely different and colorful individuals cross and change its course, as they begin a romantic and unforgettable journey in the greatest city in the world.

About GMA Network

Kapuso Mo, Anumang Kulay ng Buhay

Since its establishment on June 14, 1950, GMA Network, Inc. has continually kept in touch with the preferences of its viewers, which it considers as Kapuso. It is driven to enrich the lives of Filipinos everywhere with superior entertainment and responsible delivery of news and information.

"Kapuso Mo, Anumang Kulay ng Buhay," (One in Heart, Regardless of the Colors of Life) GMA delights its viewers with rib-tickling comedies, heartwarming dramas, action-packed animated series, value-laden educational and feel good true story programs, and comprehensive, balanced, and credible news and public affairs reports. By constantly innovating its programs, GMA has set trends in the broadcast industry -- viewers can participate in polls, interact with other viewers on-air, and send feedback through text messaging in several GMA programs.

GMA has a network of 46 VHF stations. It can also be heard on the airwaves through 26 radio stations throughout the country, including dzBB-AM and dwLS-FM in Manila; and dySS-AM and dyRT-FM in Cebu.

Aside from bringing the best in news and entertainment, GMA also manifests its commitment to the public through the community projects done by the GMA Kapuso Foundation.

Corporate History

It all started in a decrepit old backroom.

American war correspondent Robert Stewart tinkered sent his first radio transmission through AM airwaves dzbb back in 1950. Indeed, dzBB had the nation glued to their radios during the 1951 Mt. Hibok-Hibok eruption and the presidential polls of 1953 that saw Ramon Magsaysay's rise to the country's top post. Kwentong Kutsero, the precursor of today's political satires, also rose to popularity, as did the amateur show Tawag ng Tanghalan. The station distinguished itself as well for being the first to use the telephone for live on-the-spot interviews.

The Stewarts started RBS Channel 7 on October 29, 1961. "We didn't know anything about television, not even which camera was on the air," admitted the visionary who later came to be known as Uncle Bob.

For five years, RBS tottered on the brink of bankruptcy. But help was just around the corner. “Dancetime with Chito” pulled in audience and advertisers. On the station's seventh year, a good friend from the United States who was selling canned shows gave him some on the cheap. Combat, Mission Impossible, 77 Sunset Strip, The Untouchables and Ben Casey define TV viewing in the Philippines in the 1960s.

The 1970s the triumvirate of Gilberto M. Duavit, Menardo R. Jimenez and Felipe L. Gozon, reworked the station's poor image as a home for re-runs and kiddie shows. A P7-million credit line ensured upgraded equipment and a full-color setup. One major change was the shift from Republic Broadcasting System to GMA-Radio Television Arts.

"GMA" stood for boundaries of the station's primary coverage, the Greater Manila Area, which had a bigger concentration of television sets than any other part of the country. "Radio-Television Arts" underlined its commitment to the arts of the twin media. By targeting Greater Manila's sophisticates first, the station executives knew they could lure the rural folk because the latter always identified with their city cousins.

The network converted the country's viewers into one huge Filipino household. They tuned in regularly to foreign hits like Charlie's Angels, Little House on the Prairie, Starsky and Hutch, Eight is Enough, CHiPS and Three's Company. The station ID said it all: "Where You Belong".

The success of these canned shows and subsequent sale of airtime to independent TV producers made it financially viable for GMA to produce its own local shows. One of these was Ms. Ellaneous, a magazine-type show hosted by Maan Hontiveros, Yogi Dominguez and Tina Revilla. Block-timers made an afternoon soap (TAPE'S Valiente) possible without the high overhead of self-production. It also provided the opportunity to welcome expertise in several genres.

GMA was the mouse that roared. The station defied the limits set by the martial law era and won countless awards in broadcast journalism for its fearless News at Seven and GMA Evening News. Several years later, in 1983, GMA would be the only local TV station to cover he historic funeral of slain opposition leader Senator Benigno Aquino.

Late night viewing and locally produced shows defined the 1980s, with GMA Supershow, Vilma!, TJ sa GMA and Penthouse Live setting the trend.

The opening of GMA's high-end live studio at Broadway Centrum in 1987 boosted local programming, as did the inauguration of its 77-foot high Tower of Power, the tallest manmade structure in the country in 1988.

This period marked the station's winning streak on the local scene. In the international scene, GMA bested other contenders in the New York Festivals. GMA had proven that local shows didn't have to be run-of-the-mill to win over the public.

Reaching out to the world became the network's target in the 1990s, starting with the Rainbow Satellite launched on April 30, 1992. Through its relay stations, GMA programs were seen across the archipelago and in Southeast Asia. The following year, GMA Network News, Vilma!, Firing Line and GMA Supershow started airing in 60 American cities and parts of South America through the International Channel Network.

Trailblazing came about in the form clustering programs. Among them was Worry-Free Kid-TV, a series of child-friendly programs attuned to Filipino values and sensibilities. It was also about turning info-TV traditionally confined to government stations into entrepreneurial shows like Negosiyete and the agricultural show Agrisiyete.

GMA ventured into media-related businesses, among them RGMA, a nationwide satellite of radio stations; the UHF TV station that is now Channel V Philippines; GMA Films, a film production company; GMA Worldwide, its international marketing arm; Alta Productions, a multimedia company involved in pre- and post-production; and Infiniti Music, its music recording arm now known as GMA Records.

The station likewise fleshed out its motto of "In the Service of Man, For the Glory of God," through the GMA Foundation. The Foundation reached out to underprivileged children, their families and other communities in need.

Now past its 50th year, GMA is a respectable leader in Philippine broadcasting, reaching at least 12 million households and knitting them closer. Not bad. Not bad at all for a station that started out as a Mom-and-Pop operation in decrepit backroom.
