Contributors of HASAAN journal Tomo VII shared their research process in a lecture forum held last February 28 at the Lourdes Custodio Multipurpose Room, Albertus Magnus Building.
HASAAN is the UST Departamento ng Filipino’s annual interdisciplinary refereed journal in Filipino, which features articles focused on Filipino as a field of knowledge from researchers and scholars in the country.
Rev. Fr. Jannel N. Abogado, O.P., Vice Rector for Research and Innovation, delivered the opening remarks, while Dr. Wennielyn Fajilan introduced the journal to students and teachers who attended the event.
Mr. Mark Anthony S. Angeles, a Filipino and Media Studies academic staff, discussed his research paper “Ang Kaso ng Estupadong Tao, Resureksiyonista, at ni Jerry Dayunyor: Ilang Talâ sa Pagsasalin sa Filipino ng A Tale of Two Cities ni Charles Dickens” and underscored the value of writing research in Filipino. Axle Christien J. Tugano, a faculty member at University of the Philippines Los Baños, explained how he created his paper “Mga Pangako ng Puso, Mga Sakripisyo ng Kamay: Imahen ng Estados Unidos bilang Kanlungang Pilipino Batay sa mga Piling Pelikula ni Olivia Lamasan.” Meanwhile, Jay-Mar Luza, Campus Research & Development Unit Head of Bulacan State University, discussed his paper “Pagsusuri sa mga Paraan ng Pagbabaybay sa Filipino ng mga Piling Tabloid sa Filipino.”
Authors who were not in Manila during that time presented through video. This includes Ian Mark P. Nibalvos, instructor at Samar State University, who expounded on the paper “Leksikal na Elaborasyon ng Salitang ‘Communicable Disease’ sa Panahon ng Pandemya,” which he co-authored with Thomasian students Jeremiah Victoria T.
