          “Magkaroon ng liwanag!” (Genesis 1:3).

          Do you know the first sentence uttered by GOD Almighty in the Holy Bible?
          “Let there be light!” (Genesis 1:3).

 

Ang Buwan ng January

          Alam niyo ba kung saan nagmula ang salitang “January?” Ang January na siyang unang buwan sa Gregorian Calendar ay mula sa pangalan ni Janus, ang diyos ng mga pintuan at lagusan, at ng simula at pagtatapos, ng mga Romans. Si Janus ay inilalarawan bilang isang nilalang na may dalawang mukha, isa ay nakatingin sa harap at isa naman ay sa likuran. Ito ay sumisimbolo o nagbibigay pakahulugan na ang buwan ng January ay pasimula ng bagong taon na nag-iiwan sa nakaraang taon. Ang kahalagahan ni Janus sa Roman mythology ay pumapangalawa lamang kay Jupiter, ang pinunong diyos ng mga Romans.

Mga Lathalaing Unang Lumabas sa Araw ng Enero 1

            Naging kaugalian noong araw na buksan ang isang pahayagan o lathalain sa pasimula ng bagong taon. Alam niyo ba kung anu-anong mga lathalain ang lumitaw sa sirkulasyon nang unang linggo ng Enero? Una sa lahat ang Semanario Filipino, isang lingguhang pahayagan, na lumabas noong Enero 1, 1843. Ito ay itinatag ni Gregorio Tarrius.

            Ang business newspaper naman na El Comercio ay unang lumabas noong Ika-1 ng Enero, 1852. Naging malaganap ang pahagang ito lalo na noong late Spanish Period. Si Joaquin de Loyzaga ang may-ari ang unang editor nito, at kahit karamihan sa mga kawani nito ay mga Kastila, nagpakita ito ng malasakit para sa kapakanan ng mga Filipino. Bago at matapos ang Philippine-American War, naging daan ito upang ang mga Filipino ay makapagpahayag ng kanilang pananaw at saloobin. Si Apolinario Mabini (1864-1903), ang “Utak ng Himagsikan,” ay nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na ilahad ang kaniyang mga pananaw laban sa pagmamalabis at kawalanghiyaang ginagawa ng mga mananakop na Amerikano sa pamamagitan ng mga pahina ng El Comercio.

Enero 1 sa Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas

Nang sumunod na araw naman, inanunsiyo ni General Emilio Aguinaldo (1869-1964) ang pagbuo ng gabinete ng Malolos Republic. At noong Ika-4 ng Enero, 1899, idineklara naman ni Elwell S. Otis (1838-1909) na pag-aari na ng America ang Pilipinas batay sa Treaty of Paris. Binalewala ito ni Aguinaldo, at noong Ika-23 ng Enero, 1899, itinatag ang Unang Republika ng Pilipinas (ito rin ang kauna-unahang republika sa Asia) sa Malolos, Bulacan, kung saan si Aguinaldo ang naging pangulo.

Ang Torotot!

Mga makukulay na torotot na
inilalako sa pagsapit ng Bagong Taon,
tampok sa taklob-pahina ng
Moneysaver Magazine (January 1995).

          Lagi nating sinasabi na gumamit na lang ng torotot sa halip na magpaputok sa Bagong Taon. Subalit alam ba natin kung saan nagmula ang salitang “torotot?” May posibilidad na ito ay nanggaling sa salitang “toro” (lalaking baka) at “tot” (tunog na likha ng paghihip dito, o maaari ring mula sa salitang “utot,” na hanging inilalabas ng puwit). Noong sinaunang panahon, mga sungay ng kalabaw at baka ang ginagamit na trumpeta. Datapuwa’t hindi “trumpet” ang katumbas ng torotot sa wikang English kundi “horn” o “blow horn.” Maging sa wikang English, halaw ito sa kahulugang “sungay ng hayop.”
          Mayroon namang iba pang kahulugang kolokyal ang “torotot” na unang lumabas sa mga babasahing may seksuwal na tema noong 1960s. Ito ay ang “pakikiapid” o “pagtataksil.” Kaya kapag sinabing “tinorotot” ng asawa, ito ay nangangahulugan na “pinagtaksilan siya ng asawa.” Na ang asawang babae ay “nagpatoro” sa ibang lalaki. Dito ay may kaugnayan ang salitang “toro” o “tinoro” na kasingkahulugan ng “sinuwag” o “tinuhog ng sungay” sa salitang “tuhog.” Ang “toro” ay kolokyal ding ginagamit bilang isang terminong seksuwal, ang aktuwal na pagtatalik o pakikipagtalik na hayagang pinanunood ng mga tao, na lumaganap noong 1960s. Ang katumbas nito sa English ay “live sex show.” Pinatutungkulan ng salitang “toro” ang “pagtuhog ng ari ng lalaki sa ari ng babae.”

Siya ang naging sikat na figurehead ng Vallery Irons Protection (V.I.P.) bodyguard agency.
