❤️‍🔥 SAME OLD NEWS
Martial Law @ 54 Commemoration Exhibit

May mga balitang naluluma, may mga balitang paulit-ulit at tila ayaw matapos.

Limampu’t apat na taon na mula nang ideklara ni Ferdinand Marcos Sr. ang Martial Law. Sa bawat paggunita, hindi lamang natin inaalala ang karahasan ng diktadura, kundi binabalikan din kung bakit ito nilabanan, kung ano ang ipinaglaban ng mamamayan, at kung bakit marami sa mga laban na iyon ay buhay pa rin sa kasalukuyan.

Nagbago na ang panahon, ngunit pamilyar pa rin ang laman ng balita: militarisasyon sa mga komunidad, panunupil at red-tagging, paglabag sa karapatan, katiwalian at kawalan ng pananagutan. Kasabay nito ang mataas na presyo, mababang sahod, at mga baha at kalamidad na taon-taong bumabalik habang mamamayan na naman ang sumasalo sa pinsala ng korapsyon.

Ilang administrasyon na rin ang nagdaan. Nagbago ang mga mukha, pangalan, pangako, at panawagan ng bawat pamahalaan.

Pero bakit pare-pareho parin ang laman ng balita?

Sa ika-54 na taon ng paggunita sa Martial Law, binubuksan ng Same Old News ang pagitan ng balita noon at balita ngayon.

Ngunit hindi lamang pang-aapi ang may mahabang kasaysayan. May mahabang kasaysayan din ang pakikibaka. Sa bawat panahong may paniniil, may mga nag-oorganisa, artistang lumilikha, nag-aaral at nagmumulat, nagmamartsa at sama-samang kumikilos upang bakahin ito.

Kaya sa paggunita sa Martial Law, hindi sapat ang Never Forget. Ang alaala ay may saysay kapag nagiging batayan ito ng pagkilos sa kasalukuyan. NEVER AGAIN!

PABATID: Inaanyayahan ang lahat na dumalo sa Mga Panayam sa Wika at Impormasyon kasama sina Kat. Prop. Leia Fidelis Castro-Margate at G. Pio Verzola Jr. sa Huwebes, 17 Setyembre, 1-3n.h sa Teatro Amianan. Tatalakayin sa gawaing ito kung ano ang halaga ng mga wika sa paglaganap ng impormasyon sa Panahong Digital at Panahon ng Impormasyon sa Hilagang Luzon. Kita kits!

Sulong! Wikang Filipino at mga Wika ng Hilagang Luzon:
Wika ng Katotohanan sa Panahon ng Disimpormasyon

Nasalungguhitan sa mga pangyayari sa bansa at mundo nitong mga nakaraang taon ang pagkalat ng impormasyon. Nariyan ang impormasyong mula sa mga institusyong panlipunan gaya ng pamahalaan, militar, unibersidad, mga relihiyon, at midya. Sa patuloy na pag-unlad at paglaganap ng teknolohiya at social media, inuulan din tayo ng iba’t ibang impormasyon tungkol sa mga sakit, baha, krudo, kuryente, korapsiyon, digmaan, at genocide, kasabay ang iba’t ibang dance challenge, prank, trend, at vlog tungkol sa pang-araw-araw na buhay ng isang mamamayan sa ika-21 siglo.

Ang ganitong paglaganap ng impormasyon ay naisasagawa dahil sa wika na maaaring hubugin at iangkop sang-ayon sa hinahangad ng nagpapalaganap: maglantad o magkubli ng katotohanan, pabulaanan o lalo pang pasidhiin ang kasinungalingan, nang hindi sinasadya o walang kamalayan. Mahalaga sa pagdalumat ng ganitong diskurso kapwa ang paggamit at pagkonsumo ng wika. Samahan ang Kolehiyo ng Sining at Komunikasyon ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Baguio sa pag-aambag sa unawa natin sa buhay ng impormasyon! Bilang pakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ngayong Agosto, inilulunsad ang PISTA NG MGA WIKA 2026 na mayroong temang “Sulong! Wikang Filipino at mga Wika ng Hilagang Luzon: Wika ng Katotohanan sa Panahon ng Disimpormasyon”.

Inaanyayahan ang mga mag-aaral, g**o, kawani, alumni, at iba pang interesadong indibidwal at organisasyon na dumalo sa mga gawain ng Pista:

🎤 Mga Panayam sa Wika at Impormasyon | 11 Agosto 2026 (Martes) 1:00-3:00 n.h.
Ano ang halaga ng mga wika sa Panahong Digital (Digital Age) at Panahon ng Impormasyon (Information Age) sa Hilagang Luzon? Pakinggan ang mga panayam nina Kat. Prop. Leia Castro-Margate ng Departamento ng Komunikasyon at Pio Verzola Jr. ng Northern Dispatch at makilahok sa talakayan tungkol sa pamamahayag, disimpormasyon, at katotohanan sa pambungad na gawain ng PISTA.
🎓 Katotohanan sa mga Disiplina: Roundtable na Talakayan | 14 Agosto 2026 (Biyernes) 1:00-3:00 n.h.
Paano binibigyang-katuturan at/o dinadalumat ang “katotohanan” sa inyong disiplina o larang? Ano ang mga usapin o isyung madalas ninyong kinahaharap sa pagdalumat ng “katotohanan”? Makilahok sa talakayan nina Prop. Charita A. Delos Reyes para sa Kasaysayan, Kat. Prop. Dennis V. Gutierrez para sa Komunikasyong Pangbrodkast, at Kaw. Prop. Rozel S. Balmores-Paulino para sa Sikolohiya tungkol sa usapin ng “katotohanan” sa mga larang na akademiko at panlipunan.
🎨 Bahaginan ng mga Proyekto sa Wika, Midya, at Impormasyon | 19 Agosto 2026 (Miyerkules) 1:00-3:00 n.h.
Bilang venue sa pagbabahagi ng mga awtput ng mga mag-aaral mula sa iba’t ibang asignatura gaya ng WIKA 1, BLL 115, ARTS 1, at Komunikasyong Pangbrodkast, makinig sa maiikling pagbabahagi ng ilang piling proyekto gaya ng dokumentaryo, bidyo, infographic, at marami pang iba!
✒️ Mini-Palihan: Paano Kilalanin ang Misimpormasyon at Disimpormasyon? | TBA
May hiwalay na paskil na maglalaman ng impormasyon tungkol sa rehistrasyon para sa palihan.
✒️ Mini-Palihan: Paggamit ng mga Sanggunian at mga Estilo ng Citation | TBA
May hiwalay na paskil na maglalaman ng impormasyon tungkol sa rehistrasyon para sa palihan.

UP Baguio Fine Arts Faculty Members Feature in International, National, and Local Art Exhibitions

​The UP Baguio College of Arts and Communication commends Fine Arts faculty members Ides Macapanpan, Joseph Andrew Carvajal, and Danielle Florendo for participating in and headlining major art exhibitions across Gwangju in South Korea, Intramuros in the City of Manila, and Baguio City this September.

​Ms. Macapanpan joins the roster of Filipino artist delegates representing the Philippines at the 16th Gwangju Biennale through the Philippine Pavilion’s exhibition, "Studies in Time," curated by Lisa Ito-Tapang. Macapanpan’s installation, "Winala, Nawawala, Nawalan" (Disappeared, Missing, Lost), confronts enforced disappearances in the Philippines from 1972 to the present through a multi-sensory work of hung garments, engraved acrylic sheets bearing the names of desaparecidos, and an audio litany reciting the names of desaparecidos to demand state accountability for the disappearances.

​Associate Professor Carvajal opens his solo exhibition, "Material Explorations," curated by Alain Zendrick Camiling, on September 7, 2026, at Gallery B of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) in Intramuros, City of Manila. Drawing from his years of exploring the repoussé technique, Assoc. Prof. Carvajal transforms salvaged aluminum, biscuit tin can covers, matchboxes, egg cartons, soil, and more into new artistic possibilities while honoring familiar images of Mater Dei.

​In Baguio City, Ms. Florendo joins a group of artists in "First Light," the inaugural exhibition of The Jade Gallery at Hotel Supreme Mall & Events Center. The show runs through September 30, 2026. Florendo showcases watercolor works that interweave expressive portraits, local flora, and imagery to explore the Filipino culture and domestic life.

​The College invites the public to support these artists and engage with their work. For more information on the college's faculty members and their creative works, visit https://cac.upb.edu.ph.

STUDIES IN TIME: 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗔, 𝗡𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗔, 𝗡𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡 (Disappeared, Missing, Lost) by Ides Macapanpan at the Philippine Pavilion of the 16th Gwangju Biennale ⌛️
​
The UP Fine Arts Gallery observes the Month of Remembrance this September, and we belatedly commemorate the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances last August 30 through Ides Macapanpan’s work, 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗮, 𝗡𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗮, 𝗡𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻 (Disappeared, Missing, Lost).
​
This work was originally mounted at the UP Fine Arts Gallery in May 2025 as part of the artist’s master’s thesis. Its first iteration constructs a maze with walls of clothes, giving tangible form to the bodies, memories, and the very act of finding desaparecidos—civilians and activists forcibly disappeared under state power, from the Martial Law of Marcos Sr., to the Duterte Regime, and to the present Marcos administration. The installation evokes the labyrinth of uncertainty endured by the families left behind.
​
Featured in 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲, the Philippine Pavilion of the 16th Gwangju Biennale, Ides Macapanpan's installation pursues the exploration of the phenomenon of enforced disappearances through the addition of acrylic sheets and audio recordings. The 2×2 ft acrylic sheets feature the engraved names and abduction dates of the Desaparecidos, tracing back to the 1972 declaration of martial law up to the present. Twenty-nine of the 55 sheets are on display in Korea, with the rest scheduled for exhibition in the Philippines. The audio features a solemn litany listing 1,908 Desaparecidos, reciting each individual's name alongside the date of their abduction.
​
The installation converses with the Pavilion’s venue, 5.18 Archives, and a section of its permanent exhibition titled 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥/𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥/𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥/𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨, which houses archival records and objects of the historic May 18 Uprising, Gwangju’s democratization movement against Martial Law that resulted in the death, detention, and ex*****on of 5,000 people. Parola stands in solidarity and asserts the call to surface all victims of enforced disappearances and make the Marcos-Duterte regime accountable.
​
𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 is an exhibition of the Philippine Pavilion at the 16th Gwangju Biennale, curated by Lisa Ito-Tapang, presented by the UP College of Fine Arts, UP Fine Arts Gallery, and the UP President’s Committee on Culture and the Arts. The exhibition will be on view at the 5.18 Archives, Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City, Dong-gu, Geumnam-ro 221, South Korea, from September 5, 2026, to November 1, 2026.
