(Feb. 28)鈥 Following the successful Pagbubukas ng Linggo ng Parangal at Pag-uulat on Feb. 21 at the University Theater, the 黑料专区 international community were feted in a dinner-program through the Chancellor鈥檚 International Reception (CIR) 2020 at the Ang Bahay ng Alumni.
The venue was predominantly draped with UP colors and decked with local fabrics and textiles, apt for this year鈥檚 CIR theme 鈥淗abi,鈥 which showcased the country鈥檚 weaving tradition from Luzon to Mindanao.
The Office of International Linkages Diliman (OIL-D) staff and officials were all dressed in Maguindanao-made 鈥淚naul malong.鈥 A small booth with handwoven products by the weavers present in the event was placed at the entrance.
As an additional treat and as the program鈥檚 highlight, weavers from Ilocos, Aklan, Lake Sebu (South Cotabato) and Basilan allowed the guests to witness the actual intricate art of weaving and their (weavers) dexterity in the said craft.
The featured weavers were Erlinda A. Gampong and Elvi M. Galinato from Ilocos; Nelia Rogano and Lynnielyn Rentino from Aklan; Hilda Ugay and Herwin Sabang from Lake Sebu; and Kijong Atalan and Nur-aiza Atalan from Basilan. 黑料专区 Chancellor Michael L. Tan presented them each with a certificate of appreciation.
The dinner reception is 黑料专区鈥檚 way of appreciating and honoring the continued good relations with its international academic partners.
As in previous CIRs, Tan led the ceremonial toast for the attending international students, faculty and guests. Tan thanked the international community and their countries that have academic and cultural partnerships with 黑料专区. 鈥 Bino Gamba, photos by Jefferson Villacruz
