It wasnโ€™t even Christmas day, yet it felt exactly like one. Meeting everyone again, especially the freshies, felt like exchanging gifts we didnโ€™t have to unwrap: comfort, friendship, and the soft promise that weโ€™re all growing together in this creative life.

Additionally, we cheered for our former officers, our Mindanao workshop fellows, and our newly published writers, then wrapped it all up with a warm and fuzzy acknowledgment of our ever-supportive advisers and co-advisers.

We hope that the laughter we gained at the acquaintance party doesnโ€™t just disappear, but follows us like a happy little echo in the days ahead.

Represented by the organization's Chief Leader, Desiree Janine F. Villamayor, and Vice Chief Leader for External Affairs, Angel Anne Tejana, UP LitSoc participated in the two-day TAGBO camp at GAP Farm last October 25-26, which offered various activities for networking and engagement, on behalf of the organization during the ceremony organized by the Office of Student Affairs - Student Organizations and Activities Section (OSA-SOAS).

Through its various activities and initiatives, UP LitSoc aims to cultivate a love for literature and creative writing among students, while promoting social awareness and community engagement. The organization's commitment to literary excellence and social responsibility is truly commendable, and we are confident that they will continue to make a positive impact in the university community.

We extend our warmest congratulations to UP LitSoc on this achievement and look forward to their continued contributions to the university community.

LOOK | The faculty of the BA English (Creative Writing) Program visited the Universidad de Zamboanga Center for Local History and Culture on November 20, 2025, as part of the programโ€™s benchmarking and partnership-building activities.

The visit provided an opportunity to learn about the Centerโ€™s ongoing initiatives in heritage preservation, local historiography, and cultural education in Zamboanga. The UP Mindanao delegation was warmly welcomed by the Center's Staff, Mr. John Lester Lopez, and Museum Associate, Mr. Jayson L. Sayson, who shared their programs, collections, and community-based projects.

While primarily a learning visit, the meeting also opened conversations on possible future collaborations in research, cultural documentation, and knowledge exchange that support shared advocacies in local history and Mindanao cultural work.

The session featured reflections on their respective published works, โ€œLugar Lang: Dispatch from Davaoโ€ and โ€œAng Balon sa Los Amigos.โ€

The talk highlighted the narratives that are rooted in local experiences, history, and culture that eventually shape our identity. These authors wove together personal anecdotes from their own lives, showing how these lived stories forge a collective sense of who we are.

Congratulations to Prof. Cruz and Mr. Merquita for an engaging presentation, and thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussion.

In our sacred land, the Lumad not only sow seeds, but also stories. And yet, the state has turned their names into numbers, their lives into statistics buried beneath the soil of oppression.

This Peasantsโ€™ Month, we till the ground of truth and raise the call for justiceโ€”for their communityโ€™s right to learn, to live, and to be named in full, not as casualties, but as protectors of our collective roots.

Let their names grow where they were once erased. Let them count on a better future, not on injustices.
