Word of the Lourd (WOTL)



 Word of the Lourd (WOTL)
Is a short television segment which airs daily on TV5's news channel Aksyon TV 41 and formerly on TV5. Hosted by award-winning writer and musician Lourd de Veyra, the segment shows the host's social and political commentaries delivered in deadpan humor.


  • This Luminary finalist is best known for his caustic humor that takes off from national issues and Filipino pop culture.
  • He is Lourd De Veyra, a broadcaster, talk show host, news anchor, author, poet and musician.
  • Lourd is also a member of the Filipino jazz rock band Radioactive Sago Project. He hosts various programs on TV5 including Wasak and Word of the Lourd. He is also a weatherman and broadcaster for Aksyon, TV5’s 24-hour news and sports network.
  • 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.

Here are some episodes of WOTL :

WOTL: MAGALANG NA PINOY 

WOTL: UTANG NA LOOB

WOTL : I-NGUSO MO

WOTL: MGA PAMAHIING PINOY

For me, It is somehow a contemporary art because it discuss about our histories, our traditional doings or traits and what is really the story or meaning behind those traditional doing or traits and how did we come up with those stuffs or doings.

Contemporary art includes, and develops from, Postmodern art, which is itself a successor to Modern art.                                  In vernacular English, “modern” and “contemporary” are synonyms, resulting in some conflation of the terms “modern art” and “contemporary art” by non-specialists.

RIZAL MONUMENT IN PLAZA DIVISORIA, CAGAYAN DE ORO 1. How is this monument different from other monuments of a neighboring town? Even though there are also Rizal Monuments located in Cagayan De Oro but this one in Plaza Divisoria, Cagayan de Oro is different from other monuments of neighboring town because Rizal doesn’t hold anything unlike the other monuments who were holding things like book and he is just standing there while doing gesture. Overall, the Rizal Monument in Plaza Divisoria is similar to the Rizal Monument in other neighboring town whom we reflect as our national hero. 2. What is the relationship of these monuments to the surrounding space and other structures within that space? Do they dominate the space? Or are they overshadowed just like in Luneta? For me the monument is overshadowed because if you will visit the place where it is located there are a lot of buildings was built and constructed around the area and it is higher or bigger th...
