Help plss translate my bibliography in english to filipino?

F. Sionil José is an Ilocano born in Rosales, Pangasinan, which is the setting of many of his stories. José spent his childhood in Barrio Cabugawan, Rosales, which is also the town where he began to write. Fleeing poverty, his forefathers traveled from Ilocos towards Cagayan Valley through the Santa Fe Trail. Like many migrant families, they brought their lifetime possessions with them, including uprooted molave posts of their old houses and their alsong, a stone mortar for pounding rice. “"You ask me why I write. Many of our people do not realize how important the arts are. They think writers are entertainers. But what writers do is create the cultural foundation of a nation. I want to relive our history. I want to give our people memory. My tradition is the village. My tradition is this small town. In many ways, I never really left Barrio Cabugawan."- F. Sionil José, Global Nation, Inquirer.net, April 25, 2007
