Abstract

This article deals with transgression and circumvention through translation in the Philippines. It starts off by giving a brief historical overview. It further embarks upon Kamao, a collection of translated poems from around the world with a prevalence of third-world texts. Next, Filipino as a target language is discussed. Faithfulness and living in translation are the last two issues that are tackled in this article.
