The just concluded 74th celebration of National Book Week (NBW) was a success. Since the time I joined UNEP in November 2004, this activity has always been a yearly affair that everybody is looking forward to.
To commemorate this occasion, we have prepared various contests such as: storytelling for grade 4-6 pupils using the book "Kala-kahati (Half-half) by Grace D. Chong, an essay writing contest for first to fourth year students and poster making contest for college students. The last two were theme-based (Ang batang palabasa dalubhasa sa kultura) contest.
The celebration was highlighted by a seminar-workhop on storytelling conducted by my good friend, Zarah C. Gagatiga, from Xavier School, Greeenhills, San Juan City. Participants came from as far as Masbate, an island north of Sorsogon, Philippines. Zarah, being an A-1 storyteller captured the audience with her spontaneous and charming ways. I think part 2 is needed to appease the clamor.
My "thank you" piece goes to the following persons: Ma'am Delicia R. Alfelor-Tibi, our beloved Vice President for Finance for without her support, this would not be possible. Likewise, to our dear Grade School Principal, Mrs. Editha F. Evangelista for hosting the storytelling contest. Of course, to Arch. Jose B. Malazarte, dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture for taking care of the backdrop. Siyempre, to my hardworking staff who did the dirty job. Kudos to a job well done!
The accompanying pictures will attest to the success. Happy viewing!
