The foundation’s annual provocation for the Fellows of the 24th #IYAS National Writers’ Workshop and students and faculty of the Colegio de San Agustin

The work of IYAS is so vital to nation-building. They hone the craft of writing in Filipino languages, because writers are the keepers of our people’s memory. It was an honor to provide this year’s provocation lecture, this time held at the beautiful Colegio San Agustin in Bacolod. The next day we all went to Sagay.

The Constantino Foundation is a proud supporter of this essential national initiative. As the workshop organizers wrote:

“PULÚS: usefulness, service, help. To some: an obligation, to others, pointless.

“The 24th IYAS La Salle National Writers’ Workshop panelists and fellows spent time at Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod Auditorium yesterday, April 23rd, for the provocation lecture The Importance of Getting Lost: Cognate Endings in a Climate of Uncertainty by Mr. [READ]

Mga bisita!

So many visitors! As many have said, young and older, Letizia’s voice speaks to many generations. We agree. The other day we welcomed former and current officers of GIZ, and we certainly hope they had a lovely time! GIZ stands for “Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit” which is a mouthful. We hope they’ll be back, with friends and family. If you’ve been to the exhibit, do share your photos. There’s always something new to learn from the past. Make history usable! Thank you to Nonie Reyes for the beautiful image! #LetiziaLifeInLetters [READ]
