CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP IN CEBU
Calling all creative writing enthusiasts! This summer, Little Boy Productions will be offering a workshop to be led by Palanca award-winning writer Lawrence Ypil. This workshop is designed to introduce students and interested professionals to the art of creative writing. Through writing exercises, mini-lecture seminars, and on-site writing projects, the workshop aims to dispel the notion that writing is a difficult, serious endeavor, and to approach writing in a fun and imaginative way.
The workshop leads the participants through the different stages in creative writing: from the elusive art of finding a topic, to the challenge of choosing an appropriate literary form, to undergoing the delicate process of revision and publication. It hopes to also introduce participants to the primary literary genres: poetry, fiction, and the essay. While it is encouraged that participants have experience in creative writing, this workshop encourages beginning writers and interested students who have had no previous experience. In fact, it is especially open to those who have always wanted to write a poem or a story but has not had the chance to do so.

Sa loob ng humigit-kumulang limang dekada matapos ang Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig, umusbong at lumakas ang pagsasaFilipino (indigenization) ng ating kaalaman at kaisipan.

Sa kasalukuyan, ano ang mga nananatili at mga bagong diskurso, pag-aaral at debate sa loob at labas ng bansa tungkol sa pag-inog ng kaisipang Filipino? Paano ito inuunawa ng mga kasalukuyang gradwadong mag-aaral at mga kinikilalang iskolar mula sa iba’t ibang disiplina?
Layunin ng kumperensiyang ito na suriin at usisain ng mga gradwadong mag-aaral ang rasyonal/teoretikal na pundasyon o pilosopiya, metodolohiya, debate at mga isyung nakapaloob sa iba’t ibang disiplinang nabanggit at kung paano rin ang mga disiplinang ito tumatawid sa inter/multidisiplin aryong usapin at pag-aaral.

UP PRESS RELEASES UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF JOURNALISM AS HISTORY
By Arvin Abejo Mangohig
The University of the Philippines Press announces the release of “ 1908—The Way It Really Was” by Raul Rafael Ingles. Subtitled Historical Journal for the UP Centennial 1908-2008, the volume is a day-to-day chronicle of events and issues which unfolded within the year of UP's founding.
Ingles, UP professor emeritus, conceived of the book as tribute to the University he has served faithfully for many years. It compresses 365 days into less than 400 pages, and offers an immensely interesting record of the year 1908. The events covered range from the insignificant and amusing to the momentous. The volume opens with an account of the New Year's eve “midnight revelry” from the Manila Times and closes with the 12th anniversary of the death of Jose Rizal and an announcement of New Year celebrations in Malacañang.
The book's foreword is by UP President Emerlinda Roman, who says of it that “every single item is fascinating,” and praises the “discerning mind, historical sense and literary flair” of the man who “had the imagination and the diligence to undertake the laborious research and writing of this extremely interesting book.”

TANGHALANG ATENEO PRESENTS ARISTOPHANES' LYSISTRATA
Tanghalang Ateneo will keep audiences hungry for more as it closes its 30 th season of plays with “Lysistrata,” a classic comedy of sex and war by the Greek comic master, Aristophanes. Translated into Filipino by Jose F. Lacaba and given a contemporary look, the Ateneo production gives the play a distinct local flavor.
In the play, a band of housewives from all over Ancient Greece , led by the articulate Lysistrata, unite in a radical act of civil disobedience . Fed up with their husbands' constant departures to wage wars , these women make a sacred vow of solidarity: they will refuse to have sex with their husbands until the men of Athens and Sparta end the war.
Deprived of sex, the husbands become cranky, insulting and violent. The women, also suffering from sexual abstinence, try to escape from their fortress to join their husbands. Meanwhile, the old men and women of Greece , acting as the chorus, heat up their battle of derision and disgust. Lysistrata has her hands full and using desire as weapon, forges a peace treaty that ends both the war and the clash of the sexes.
