Kapehan 2025 wouldnโ€™t have been brewed to life without you! โ˜•๐Ÿ’—

To all our sponsors, salamat for being the real MVPs behind every cup of coffee, every snack that saved a life (and a grade), and every ounce of hope during finals week. Without you, this wouldโ€™ve just been โ€œPuyatan 2025.โ€

Because of your generosity, we were able to offer more than just free coffee and bluebooks, we gave students a warm, safe, and comforting space.

From the bottom of our tired eyes and caffeinated hearts, maraming salamat! ๐Ÿ’—

MAGBINALรYBAY KITA. Art has inspired writers and writers have inspired artists. There are different ways on how writers write and how artists do their art. Through both artistic expressions, MAGBINALรYBAY KITA: The Poetry of J. Elizalde Navarro, will explore creative ways of looking at the exhibition, Halangdon: The Art of J. Elizalde Navarro, on May 18, 2025, 2:00 to 4:00 PM at the National Museum of the Philippines Iloilo. This is timely as we will celebrate the 101st Birth Anniversary of Navarro, the lone National Artist for Visual Arts from Western Visayas.

While away your time in the museum on Sunday, and appreciate and interpret the fine arts exhibition through poetry or binalaybay. Ilonggo author and poet, Alain Russ Dimzon, will walk us through the power of words, exploring the beauty of poetry as a creative expression, encompassing varied themes as inspired and expressed in Navarro's artworks. This activity is FREE. Bring your family and friends, and of course, your curiosity to explore if not push your creativity to its limits. See you!

Time to dust off your shelves and pick up whatโ€™s next on your TBR list! Todayโ€™s celebration is a reminder of the importance of books in not only creating, but honing, expanding, and connecting our world through stories. Even in todayโ€™s technological age, nothing beats the endless scrolling through pages and exploring new worlds at the tip of our fingers. Whether itโ€™s through an ePub or a good old hard copy, come celebrate World Book Day with us by sharing your current reads and favorite titles down below! ๐Ÿ“–โฌ‡๏ธโœจ

Last March 14, 2025, the UPV Literati held its most awaited Bilog ang Bulan 2025 Celebration with the theme, โ€œHILANAT: Ang Pagbalhas sang mga Sugilanon sa Tungang Gab-iโ€ at the New Admin Building, UPV Miagao.

The celebration was a constellation of creative and critical performances shared amongst a community of writers, readers, artists, lovers, and dreamers. Literati members alongside guest performers and speakers from the UP Intermedius, UPV OIKOS Ecological Movement, UP Daebak, and SAMAKA-KA, lit the stage up with their courage to share their craft. The full moon glowed brighter with their fiery blaze of passion for literature, culture, and the arts.

This night would not be possible without the following individuals and organizations that extended their generous support to BAB 2025. We would like to thank our Adlaw Sponsors, Prof. Eliodora Dimzon and Dr. Ferdinand Jarin; Bulan Sponsors, Liane Carlo Suelan, Prof. Mary Oveta Villareal, and UPV Division of Humanities through Chairperson Prof. Katherine Valencia-Suansing; and the OSA, SOA, A*O, CDMO, HumDiv MMH, and SSF Offices for their service.

Happy National Literature Month,
