I caught up with award-winning writer and frontman of the jazz outfit Radioactive Sago Project as he prepares for the launch of his new book of poetry, Marka Demonyo. It’s the poet-journalist first collection since 2011, and the title alone (which translates to ‘Mark of the Devil’ in English) begs a closer inspection of what lies in the abyss of the book’s contents, and the impetus behind the verses.

Marka Demonyo is Lourd’s fourth collection of poems; the previous ones were Subterranean Thought Parade (1998), Shadowboxing in Headphones (2001), and Insectissimo! (2011). He’s been quite busy generating journalistic pieces and broadcast TV political commentary of late, as well as hosting his weekly music show/podcast Chillax Radio in one of the country’s local radio networks.

I, myself, have been a co-fellow of Lourd for a week-long national writing workshop ran by the University of the Philippines back in the early 2000s, his poems of the time buoyed by a growing fascination with local politics and phenomena, amid a backdrop of jazz and rock that has been a staple in his work. The latter made sense, too, as he had worked as a music writer for various Manila newspapers and magazines in the ‘90s.

We had wanted this online back-and-forth to come across as a more formal exchange, but the ongoing pandemic and too-much time quarantined at home (might have) messed with our heads a wee bit (the cases of COVID-19 in the Philippines continue to multiply, no thanks to shoddy government work).

At any rate, Lourd talks about how current politics in the Philippines informs his work in this quasi-banter. And why naming his new collection after a slogan from a local drink seems most symbolically apropos.

Lourd de Veyra: What the hell are you talking abou

His real name is Lourd Ernest Hanapol De Veyra. He was born on February 11, 1975. His father was a retired policeman who is part of the first batch of rookie cops that is part of the Western Police District, with Alfredo Lim as their Ground Commander. While, his mother is a pianist by profession and dietician by training, was actually stricter than his father. Mike Hanopol of the Juan de la Cruz band is his uncle.

Musical Career:

• Al Dimalanta the band’s leader and founder, making Dead Ends a four – piece band.
• He became one of band’s guitaristsin 1994
• Dead Ends disbanded in 1996 (because of Jay Dimalanta’s passing)
• After Dead Ends disbanded, Radioactive Sago Projectformed accidentally.
• Lourd was promoting his first book, and instead of the usual reading, he got a bassist, trumpet player, and drummer to accompany him as back up for a spoken word performance. (“From three nagging nine na kami.”)
• He became famous for being the vocalist of Manila – based jazz rock band.

Metaphors

           Lourd started his career as a reporter in the newspaper Today, covering arts and culture for 6 years. In 2008, he was given a stint in TV5’s program The Evening News. That’s when he came up with the concept of the Word of the Lourd, which first appeared on YouTube.

          “I thought of combining the elements of the music video while putting in a social commentary. Hence, the Word of the Lourd,” he recalls in Filipino.

Lourd says the Word of the Lourd shows so many things about Filipinos. He takes his favorite episode on Candy Crush as an example.

         “That’s where we see the very curious nature of Filipinos. We go with the trend to the point that it becomes absurd and ad nauseum (to the point of nasuea). It becomes a major distraction then suddenly it’s gone…It’s a metaphor,” he says in Filipino.

Media agenda and Filipino values
