We are pleased to invite everyone to Liwliwa: Cultural Concert for a Cause ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
(Open to UPB and Non-UPB community)

This event aims to raise funds for the procurement of cultural attire, musical instruments, cultural materials, and other resources essential to sustaining cultural practice and expression within the University. At present, many of these resources remain limited or incomplete, making it difficult for students, especially Indigenous Peoples (IPs), to fully engage in and preserve their cultural traditions. In many instances, students are left to search for and provide these materials on their own.

Moreover, the event aims to showcase cultural music, traditional dances, and cultural theater performances that reflect the rich cultures and lived experiences of Indigenous Peoples. It also seeks to provide a platform for Indigenous students, cultural workers, artists, and advocates, both within and outside the University, to share their art, histories, and aspirations with the wider UP Baguio community.

Tickets may be availed through any officer of the UP Baguio University Student Council and PAGTA members. You may also scan the QR code on the poster or check the comments section for the ticket link. Tickets are available on a pay-what-you-can basis. Any amount is deeply appreciated and will directly support the cause and initiatives of the event.
