Higaonon writes Bukidnon's first epic novel
MALAYBALAY CITY (MindaNews/26 February) – He had always longed to help save the tales he had known since childhood through nanangen (oral storytelling), a dying tradition. Now, this 29-year old Higaonon writer has made history by becoming the first writer from Bukidnon to have written a full-length epic novel on his tribe.
Telesforo S. Sungkit Jr, from Kisolon, Sumilao town, is launching his first novel entitled “Batbat Hi Udan” (The Story of Udan) on February 27 at the Bukidnon State University Media Resource Center in time for the grand opening of the 2009 Kaamulan Festival.
