To establish a core group of writers that will spearhead the preservation of the writings in Waray, Sebuano, and Inabaknon in Eastern Visayas, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) in cooperation with Katig Writers Network Inc. and the Leyte Normal University (LNU) - Panrehiyong Sentro will hold Katig Han Sinirangan Bisayas: 2012 Regional Taboan Satellite Activity.
This will be held today, February 4 at the CHED Center for Teaching Excellence, Ledesma Hall, Leyte Normal University, Tacloban City.
This activity is considered a first-of-its-kind where writers in Eastern Visayas are gathered; this is initiated by the National Committee on Literary Arts (NCLA).
It is jointly implemented by Katig Writers Network Inc. and Leyte Normal University (LNU).
Aside from promoting creative writing in the region, it also aims to establish camaraderie among the writers in Samar, Leyte, Biliran, and Capul.
As planned, this activity has two components: the writers’ forum and the literary performances. The writers’ forum will be held in the morning, while the literary performances will be showcased in the afternoon. Activities during the forum include the introduction of representatives from various organizations under the Katig Writers Network Inc., paper presentations, open-forum, and election of the new set of officers of Katig for 2012.
Meanwhile, the literary performances spearheaded by the Sinirangan Culture and Arts Development Center of Leyte Normal University (LNU) will feature local writers from Leyte and Samar in dramatic reading and mini-theatrical performances.
Writers will also be given the chance to read their newly-written poems as part of the said literary showcase. (PIA 8-Samar)
