Ginaw Bilog
Ferrer, Atido, Del Rosario, Gonzales A.
Bibliography
Born in January 3, 1953, poet Ginaw Bilog contributed to the preservation of the Ambahan or the traditional poetry of the Hanunuo Mangyans in Oriental Mindoro.
Ginaw Bilog, Hanunoo Mangyan from Mansalay, Mindoro, grew up in such a cultural environment. Already steeped in the wisdom that the ambahan is a key to the understanding of the Mangyan soul, Ginaw took it upon himself to continually keep scores of ambahan poetry recorded, not only on bamboo tubes but on old, dog-eared notebooks passed on to him by friends.
Most treasured of his collection are those inherited from his father and grandfather, sources of inspiration and guidance for his creative endeavors. To this day, Ginaw shares old and new ambahans with his fellow Mangyans and promotes this poetic form on every occasion.
