Sulong! Wikang Filipino at mga Wika ng Hilagang Luzon: Wika ng Katotohanan sa Panahon ng Disimpormasyon Nasalungguhitan sa mga pangyayari sa bansa at mundo nitong mga nakaraang taon ang pagkalat ng impormasyon. Nariyan ang impormasyong mula sa mga institusyong panlipunan gaya ng pamahalaan, militar, unibersidad, mga relihiyon, at midya. Sa patuloy na pag-unlad at paglaganap ng teknolohiya at social media, inuulan din tayo ng iba’t ibang impormasyon tungkol sa mga sakit, baha, krudo, kuryente, korapsiyon, digmaan, at genocide, kasabay ang iba’t ibang dance challenge, prank, trend, at vlog tungkol sa pang-araw-araw na buhay ng isang mamamayan sa ika-21 siglo. Ang ganitong paglaganap ng impormasyon ay naisasagawa dahil sa wika na maaaring hubugin at iangkop sang-ayon sa hinahangad ng nagpapalaganap: maglantad o magkubli ng katotohanan, pabulaanan o lalo pang pasidhiin ang kasinungalingan, nang hindi sinasadya o walang kamalayan. Mahalaga sa pagdalumat ng ganitong diskurso kapwa ang paggamit at pagkonsumo ng wika. Samahan ang Kolehiyo ng Sining at Komunikasyon ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Baguio sa pag-aambag sa unawa natin sa buhay ng impormasyon! Bilang pakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ngayong Agosto, inilulunsad ang PISTA NG MGA WIKA 2026 na mayroong temang “Sulong! Wikang Filipino at mga Wika ng Hilagang Luzon: Wika ng Katotohanan sa Panahon ng Disimpormasyon”. Inaanyayahan ang mga mag-aaral, guro, kawani, alumni, at iba pang interesadong indibidwal at organisasyon na dumalo sa mga gawain ng Pista: 🎤 Mga Panayam sa Wika at Impormasyon | 11 Agosto 2026 (Martes) 1:00-3:00 n.h. Ano ang halaga ng mga wika sa Panahong Digital (Digital Age) at Panahon ng Impormasyon (Information Age) sa Hilagang Luzon? Pakinggan ang mga panayam nina Kat. Prop. Leia Castro-Margate ng Departamento ng Komunikasyon at Pio Verzola Jr. ng Northern Dispatch at makilahok sa talakayan tungkol sa pamamahayag, disimpormasyon, at katotohanan sa pambungad na gawain ng PISTA. 🎓 Katotohanan sa mga Disiplina: Roundtable na Talakayan | 14 Agosto 2026 (Biyernes) 1:00-3:00 n.h. Paano binibigyang-katuturan at/o dinadalumat ang “katotohanan” sa inyong disiplina o larang? Ano ang mga usapin o isyung madalas ninyong kinahaharap sa pagdalumat ng “katotohanan”? Makilahok sa talakayan nina Prop. Charita A. Delos Reyes para sa Kasaysayan, Kat. Prop. Dennis V. Gutierrez para sa Komunikasyong Pangbrodkast, at Kaw. Prop. Rozel S. Balmores-Paulino para sa Sikolohiya tungkol sa usapin ng “katotohanan” sa mga larang na akademiko at panlipunan. 🎨 Bahaginan ng mga Proyekto sa Wika, Midya, at Impormasyon | 19 Agosto 2026 (Miyerkules) 1:00-3:00 n.h. Bilang venue sa pagbabahagi ng mga awtput ng mga mag-aaral mula sa iba’t ibang asignatura gaya ng WIKA 1, BLL 115, ARTS 1, at Komunikasyong Pangbrodkast, makinig sa maiikling pagbabahagi ng ilang piling proyekto gaya ng dokumentaryo, bidyo, infographic, at marami pang iba! ✒️ Mini-Palihan: Paano Kilalanin ang Misimpormasyon at Disimpormasyon? | TBA May hiwalay na paskil na maglalaman ng impormasyon tungkol sa rehistrasyon para sa palihan. ✒️ Mini-Palihan: Paggamit ng mga Sanggunian at mga Estilo ng Citation | TBA May hiwalay na paskil na maglalaman ng impormasyon tungkol sa rehistrasyon para sa palihan.

UP Baguio confers 14th Darnay Demetillo Artist Award The University of the Philippines Baguio held the 14th Darnay Demetillo Artist Award (DDAA) awarding ceremony and exhibit opening on June 26, 2026, at Darnay Demetillo Art Space, College of Arts and Communication. Mac Daryll Manto, who recently obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree this year, was the juror’s choice. In a unanimous decision, the jury recognized Malto’s body of work for its compelling artistic vision, noting that his “distinct voice reveals art and artistic practice as integral to placemaking: a transformation of space into place—the locus of belonging, identity, and memory." The ceremony also recognized this year’s nominees: Fine Arts (FA) sophomore Russel Kim Abad, graduating Certificate of Fine Arts (CFA) student Paul Christian Ainza, graduating BFA student Julian Gabriel Trinidad, and BFA freshman Arvelle Nils Irik Valdez. This year’s jury was composed of independent curator and artist Ceres Marie Canilao, former student of Prof. Darnay Demetillo; visual artist and UPB Fine Arts alumnus Silivino Dulnuan; and Grace Celeste Subido, Associate Professor and former colleague of Demetillo, who served as jury chair. Canilao announced the name of the awardee by reading out the jury’s message. Maisa Demetillo delivered a heartfelt message on behalf of the Demetillo family. Malto received a Certificate of Recognition and an award cheque. He also received a box full of quality art materials, gifted by Gloria Orden, friend and mentee of Prof. Demetillo. Hosted by DLLA faculty Jasmin Bayquen, the ceremony was attended by faculty members, students, alumni, and guests, including National Artist for Film Kidlat Tahimik. The event concluded with the opening of the DDAA 2026 Exhibit, featuring painting-based works by the five nominees created within the Academic Year 2025-2026. The UPB community and friends are invited to view the exhibit, which will run until August 7, 2026, at the Darnay Demetillo Art Space. The exhibit is open on weekdays, from 9AM to 4PM.

Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang INK) Celebrates Their 35th Anniversary with the Exhibit "Stories We Tell" at Fundacion Sansó Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang INK), the Philippines' first and only organization of artists dedicated to children's illustration, celebrates their 35th year with "Stories We Tell", an exhibit that presents the illustrator as storyteller. Each participating artist has illustrated the beginning and the end to an original story they each imagined. Without words, the compositions encourage viewers to draw out the narratives, the way picture books do for kids. Among the participating artists are UP Baguio Fine Arts faculty Jandy A. Carvajal and UPB alumni Clarisse Alfonso, Arvi Delos Reyes, Jem Delos Reyes and Ja Amores. This milestone exhibit led Sir Jandy to recall his first foray into illustrating for kids in the late 90s, and how he was inspired by one of the OG Inkies, Isabel "Pepper" Roxas, who was also his teacher in an undergraduate illustrating class. Now also an artist-educator, Sir Jandy is glad that the art of illustrating for children continues to thrive in (and even outside) the country, with younger generations of Filipino artists taking up the pen (and paper, and all sorts of materials). In 2019, he introduced Illustrating for Children as a topic in the FA 192 Art Workshop class. Since then, the course, inspiring and training potential visual storytellers for the youth, has been offered almost every academic year in UP Baguio. "Stories We Tell" opens on Saturday, July 11, 2026 at 3PM at Fundacion Sansó, 34 V. Cruz St., San Juan City, Metro Manila. The exhibit will run until August 8, 2026. Fundacion Sansó is open Monday to Saturday, 10AM to 4PM. Admission to the museum is free.
