Description

This book compiles the work of Ben S. Corpuz and Paulina T. Balisi. Pagsinta (Love) is a collection of poems drawn from the written letters and reflections of Ben S. Corpuz and Paulina T. Balisi, journeying through their life together in their marriage of more than 30 years. Assembled during the COVID-19 pandemic, the book illustrates the love, joy and struggle shared between Ben and Paulina. Written bilingually in English and Tagalog, these selected pieces offer a glimpse into the moments they met, courted, married, separated by migration, and reunited. It explores the decisions they made throughout the years that brought them to where they are now. The book also discusses Ben and Paulina' advocacy work, dealing with the complicated situations they continue to face and survive as Filipino immigrants in Canada. They show how their activism has always been integral to their daily life. How their love for each other and their family extends into their love for community. As society continues to face new challenges, Pagsinta (Love) strives to provide readers with the inspiration and hope that love can endure in even the most trying of times. ------------ Ang aklat ay naipong mga gawa nina Ben S. Corpuz at Paulina T. Balisi. Ang Pagsinta (Love) ay koleksyon ng mga tulang hinango sa mga sulat at pagninilay nina Ben S. Corpuz at Paulina T. Balisi, ang kanilang magkasamang pagtahak bilang mag-asawa sa higit na tatlumpung taon. Natipon sa panahon ng pandemya ng COVID-19, inilalarawan ng aklat ang pagmamahalan, kagalakan at pakikibaka sa pagitan nina Ben at Paulina. Nakasulat sa dalawang wika, Ingles at Tagalog, ang mga piling Panitikan ay nag-aalok ng sulyap sa kanilang mga sandalling pagkilala, ligawan, kasal, paghiwalay dahil sa migrasyon at muling pagsasama. Sinisiyasat nito ang mga gawang desisyong sa buong panahong pagsasama na nagdala sa kinaroroonan nila ngayon. Tinalakay din sa aklat ang mga gawaing adbokasiya nina Ben at Paulina, ang pagharap sa mga kumplikadong sitwasyon na patuloy nilang hinaharap at binabaka bilang migranteng Pilipino. Ipinakita nila kung paano ang aktibismo ay mahalaga sa kanilang pang araw-araw na buhay. Kung paano ang pagmamahal sa bawa`t isa at sa pamilya ay umaabot sa kanilang pagmamahal sa bayan. Habang patuloy ang pakikibaka ng lipunan sa mga bagong hamon, nagsusumikap ang Pagsinta (Love) na mabigyan ang mga mambabasa ng insiprasyon at pag-asa na ang pag-ibig ay nanatili kahit sa pinakamahirap na panahon.
