Poet Huseng Batute honored in CCP tribute film 'Awit at Tula'

After 125 years, De Jesus probably never imagined that his works would be turned partly into rap into these modern times.

According to Lizaso, the constant “talumpati” or “paligsahan” of De Jesus and Florentino Collantes, used to be called “dupluhan,” back then as the two were often debating. They later decided to call it Balagtasan, in honor of Francisco Balagtas. Huseng Batute’a masterpieces used in the production are “Pakpak,” “Ang Tula,” “Pakiusap,” “Balagtasan,” “Arimunding-Munding,” “Dalagang Pilipina,” “Isang Punong Kahoy,” “Ang Pamana,” “Ako’s Isang Ibong Sawi,” “Manggagawa,” “Aking Bayan,” “Madaling Araw” and “Bayan Ko.”

Michael V acts as the narrator of “Pagbabalik Tanaw sa Unang Hari ng Balagtasan,” as he combines the songs and poems featured in the film. Balagtasan will use the words of Batute and Collantes, with rap to show the connection of the works of Huseng Batute and how they will fare today. When the time came that all actors were asked to physically report to the set, the dynamics of performing changed. “Suddenly, nararamdaman mo na ang co-actor mo,” Arcilla said. “Ang sarap ng pakiramdam. Hindi ka na nangangapa ng damdamin. Sa acting kasi, dinarama mo kung ano ang tinatapon sa ‘yo. And then, ibabato mo kung ano ‘yung kailangan niyang maramdaman at tanggapin.

👏👏👏
