Philippine PEN: Teaching Literature Workshop
Dates: 8 August 2011 (Baguio) and 10 October 2011 (Bicol)
The Philippine Center of International PEN (Poets, Playwrights, Essayists, Novelists) continues its series of workshops on teaching literature in selected regions of the Philippines this year.
Called “For Love of the Word: Workshops on Teaching Philippine Literature in High School and College,” the next workshop will be held on August 8 (Monday), from 8:30 to 4:30 pm, at Juan Luna Hall (UP Baguio Auditorium), University of Philippines-Baguio. Eminent writers/scholars and university professors Delfin Tolentino and Jun Cruz Reyes will serve as facilitators.
This workshop is co-hosted by UP-Baguio, and supported by PEN International in UK, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA).
This project is PEN’s modest way of assisting in the improvement of literature education in the country. In the 2010 Cebu Congress, PEN has resolved to work more closely with the education sector, as it “recognizes that literary taste is shaped in the schools, especially the public school system; it is where generations must be taught to appreciate the outstanding works of our very own writers, works that constitute the soul of our nation.”
The first three workshops were successfully held on March 25 at Far Eastern University-Manila, May 6 at the University of San Agustin-Iloilo, and June 9 at the University of Cebu.
Forthcoming are three more workshops—in Bicol, Pangasinan, and Cagayan de Oro. The Bicol workshop will be held on October 10, in cooperation with Naga College Foundation.
For inquiries, please contact Philippine PEN at Solidaridad Bookstore, 531 Padre Faura St., Ermita, Manila, Philippines. Tel. (632) 5230870; Telefax (632) 5255038; email: philippinepen@yahoo.com; mobile: +639175287491.

Call for Applications: 2012 UP National Writers Workshop (Philippines)
Deadline: 31 October 2011
LIKHAAN: The University of the Philippines Institute of Creative Writing (UP ICW) is now accepting applications for the 51st UP National Writers Workshop to be held in Baguio City in April 2012.
The director of the 2012 workshop is Likhaan Fellow Charlson Ong. The Advisers, Fellows, and Associates of the UP ICW comprise the workshop panel. These are UP ICW Director Jose Y. Dalisay Jr., National Artist for Literature Virgilio S. Almario, National Artist for Literature Bienvenido Lumbera, Gémino Abad, Romulo Baquiran, Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo, J. Neil Garcia, Victor Emmanuel Carmelo Nadera Jr., Jun Cruz Reyes, Rolando Tolentino, and Mario Miclat.
The following are the submission guidelines:
QUALIFICATIONS – To qualify, applicants (1) must be writers in English or Filipino; (2) must have attended at least one creative writing workshop (national/regional, including the UP National Writers Workshops), or earned a degree in Creative Writing/Malikhaing Pagsulat, or won at least one national/international literary award; (3) must have published at least three poems or two short stories or two pieces of creative nonfiction in reputable collections or anthologies, journals, magazines (including campus publications), or refereed Internet web magazines, or have had a play staged. Writers who have been fellows at any of the UP National Writers Workshops are eligible. Some of these qualifications may be waived in exceptionally meritorious cases, with the unanimous concurrence of the UP ICW Fellows, Associates, and Advisers.
REQUIREMENTS – Applicants must submit (1) five copies plus digital file (12 points, double-spaced, 8 x 11) of one original unpublished manuscript (short story, poem, creative nonfiction, play, or novel) to be discussed during the workshop – this manuscript should not have been submitted to a publishing house or any other workshop, and should form at least 20% of a book project in progress; (2) five copies plus digital file (12 points, double-spaced, 8 x 11) of an essay on "What I write, how, and why?" in relation to the work in progress. This essay will be the basis for a 20-minute presentation that the fellow is expected to do during the workshop; (3) photocopies of the applicant’s published work, including publication details; and (4) application form.
Only writers who go through the complete application process will be considered for fellowship.
Fellows must be present for the full duration of the weeklong workshop.
All fellows are entitled to a modest stipend, free hotel accommodation, and free transportation from UP Diliman to Baguio City and back.
The deadline for submission is October 31, 2011.
The U.P. National Writers Workshop was reformatted five years ago to address a dearth in the mentoring of writers in mid-career. What before was a workshop that honed emerging talent mostly from the nation’s universities and colleges is now a workshop that focuses on writers who have already published, or are on the verge of publishing, a book or have won major literary awards. In effect, the new format caters to writers who have moved up from the beginner level.
The UP ICW is the only institution that offers a workshop of this caliber in the country. The function for beginner writers that the UP ICW vacated for the new workshop format is filled by the workshops held by other writing centers from the other universities in the country.
Aside from subjecting works in progress to workshops with the most admired names in Philippine contemporary literature, the UP National Writers Workshop provides a venue for discussion of the participants’ respective writing processes. It also allows participants to interact with local writers through special activities organized by the UP ICW and Baguio-based groups. As an outreach activity, the UP ICW has partnered with the University of the Philippines Baguio to hold an annual public lecture by an eminent writer. The lecture coincides with the workshop and is held in universities and colleges in and around Baguio City.
