Bannawag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bannawag (Iloko word meaning "dawn") is the leading Iloko (also Ilokano and Iluko) weekly magazine published in the Philippines since 1937. It contains Iloko serialized novels, short stories, poetry, serialized comics, essays, news features, entertainment news and articles, and many others.

Bannawag magazine has been acknowledged as one foundation of the existence of comtemporary Iloko literature. It is through the Bannawag that every Ilokano writer has proved his mettle by publishing his first Iloko short story, poetry, or essay, and thereafter his succeeding works, in its pages. The magazine is also instrumental in the establishment of GUMIL Filipinas, the umbrella organization of Ilokano writers in the Philippines and in other countries.
