Hiraya Foresight (Perante-Calina, 2021)
Hiraya As A Concept Has Ancient Filipino Roots, Only Word That Gives The Potential Of The Future, Of Tomorrow, To Illuminate On The Present. The Simple Word Is Kinabukasan, Or Future. There Is No Other Word That Comes Closest To The Future And The Promise That The Future May Hold. The Future Here Is Assumed To Give A Better Outcome. And That Is The Glow Of The Word Hiraya For It Subsumes In It The Idea Of Hope, Of Getting And Realizing Soon-To-Come Benefits.
So Then, What Does Hiraya Connote? As A Stand-Alone Word, It Means: The Fruit Of One’s Hopes, Dreams And Aspirations. Any Person Always Has Dreams, Dreams Of Becoming One Someday, Say, Become A Doctor, A Bank Teller, A Computer Manager, A Teacher. A Person Who Keeps On Hoping, Continue Dreaming And Aspiring Would Reap The Fruit Of His/Her Efforts: The Hiraya. These Fruits Would Be The Realization Of One’s Dreams And Aspirations. It Would Come In The Form Of Benefits, Like The Goodness Of Health, The Stability Of One’s Finances, The Permanence Of One’s Relationship With A Beloved, And For Young People, The Realization Of Being Someday A Doctor, A Nurse, A Teacher.
In Usage, Hiraya Is Usually Attached To Another Word To Become The Phrase, Hiraya Manawari, Which Is Wishing Good To Someone Who Is Close To The Well-Wisher, A Friend, Or A Relative. The Two Words Together Get Transformed To Wish Someone: May You Reach Your Dreams! (Sana Ay Matupad Ang Iyong Kahilingan At Pangarap!). It May Also Mean: May The Wishes Of Your Heart Be Granted! Still The Phrase Also Means, This Time With Some Unfortunate Event In Mind: Hope It Comes To Pass – The “It” Referring To Some Misfortune That Is Hoped To Last As Soon As Possible Without Much Damage On Those Affected By The Ill Event.
May You Reach Your Dreams! Sana Ay Matupad Ang Iyong Kahilingan At Pangarap! Matupad Is The Verb Form For “May It Become A Reality.” Kahilingan Means Wish Or Request. Pangarap Refers To One’s Dreams And Aspirations. Thus, Hiraya Manawari Translates To “May Your Request Be Granted!” “May Your Dreams Come True!” Hiraya Manawari! Refers To The Act Of Someone Wishing Another That He/She May Be Able To Succeed And Reach His/Her Dreams Of Becoming A Doctor, And So On In The Future. It Is A Wish For The Good Of Someone.
Similarly, We Futures Thinkers May Say To Ourselves, May We Reach Our Dreams! Or May Our Objectives And Goals Succeed!
May The Wishes Of Your Heart Be Granted! Hiraya Manawari Similarly Is A Wish Of Someone That What His/Her Heart Desires Be Fulfilled. So Futures Thinkers Also Wish “May The Wishes Of Our Hearts Be Granted!” Please Take Note That Wishes Come From The Heart, Not From The Brain.
Hope It Comes To Pass! This Is Another Connotation Of Hiraya Manawari. This Is A Hope That Everyone Affected By A Calamity Or Misfortune Or Problem May Get Over It At Once Or Quickly. As A Western Poet Said, “Hope Springs Eternal.” This Is Expressed As Well In Hiraya Manawari, Urging Each One In The Community To Bear The Temporary Sacrifice, To Be Patient, For The Unfortunate Event Will Take Its Natural Course And Come To Pass. Like The Typhoon, It Comes, Passes Through, And Then Goes Out After A Few Hours. We Futures Thinkers Also Have Such An Orientation, Saying To Ourselves, “Hope COVID-19 Comes To Pass!” Or “Hope This Typhoon Comes To Pass!”
The Hiraya Foresight Adds Specific Context, Cultural Particularities, Local Color, If Not The Futures Thinker’s Quality Ways Of Thinking. Hiraya Connotes Other Non-Verbal Significances, For It Embeds Or Contains Other But Unspoken, Unexpressible Ideas Within Just One Word.
