MEET OUR REPUTABLE SPEAKERS ON DAY 2! 🧡

Starting with Bikolana author and novelist Maryanne Moll as she guides us to travel through time with our own memories and environment, focusing on writing historical fiction that navigates through the past period of Naga and/or Bicol.

Followed by our very own Chairperson at the University Research Council of Ateneo de Naga University, Dr. Victor John Loquias. He will delve into the significance of translating literary works, and the requisites it requires to creatively convey the nuances of English and Bikol languages and the ability to understand the different layers of meanings using one language in terms of another.

On the same day, Ms. Blulean Albao, a Senior High School faculty at the De La Salle University-Manila, will lead a workshop on Creative Nonfiction, introducing us to a refreshing experience in the realm of Food Writing.

Mark your calendar on February 13, 2024, from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, at the Alingal Multipurpose Hall!
