The publication of Malagilion: Sonnets tan Villanelles by Santiago B. Villafania should be a source of rejoicing for readers of regional literatures. This second book by Pangasinan's leading poet today is impressive in both form and substance. Villafania has created 300 sonnets and 50 villanelles in his own language that attempt to reflect the primacy of native culture and return the poet to the central stage of social life. - A Boost to Pangasinan Literature from Breaking Signs by Cirilo F. Bautista, poet, fiction writer, painter and educator Villafania is not only a visionary poet, he is a linguistic philosopher who codifies the origin of language and culture, dissects the myths and the common beliefs of the people against the urban legends, juxtaposes the literary tradition against the modern influences by dialectically infusing them in his poetic revelation of truth. - Danny C. Sillada, from Poetic Revelation in Language and Culture surrealist painter, poet, philosopher, musician, performance artist & critic
