Lester Rodriguez, distinguished artist from Binangonan, begins the day with a watercolor workshop with Sagay youth. It's a great platform - later, we'll lead a workshop with teachers on how to use art in appreciating and interrogating history and science.

Sunrise just before the 13th Nature Encounter Arts Month Celebration opens in Sagay, Negros Occidental. Themed "Duta, Tubig, Hangin," the festival was initiated in 2013 by the celebrated artist Nunelucio Alvarado.

Walang permanenteng tagumpay, at wala ring permanenteng kabiguan. Pagkatapos ng aklasang EDSA, maraming nagising. Marami rin ang muling natulog.

Pagkatapos ng rebolusyon, hindi natapos ang rebolusyon. Pang-apat na tula sa ikaapat na araw ng EDSA, serye ng berso para sa EDSA-40, mula sa sinulat ni Ruth Elynia S. Mabanglo, dakilang makata ng bayan na, tulad ni Lacaba, Popa, at Sunico, hinahangaan ng Constantino Foundation.

Kapag nabasa mo itong sinulat ni Ramon C. Sunico, maiisip mong para sa kasalukuyan ang ikaapat na tula sa serye para sa EDSA40. Totoo, parang mas kailangan natin itong dasal ngayon: Nag-uumapaw ang ngitngit sa mga kawatan.

☕ Tertulia-Inspired & Non-Partisan **Pandesal Forum** You are invited to a morning of meaningful dialogue — where ideas are shared as warmly as freshly-baked pandesal & brewed coffee. This session shall discuss a pivotal chapter of Philippine history 🗓 Date: Tuesday, 24 February 2026

Ikalawang tula mula kay Allan Popa sa isang linggong serye ng berso bilang paggunita sa ika-40 anibersaryo ng aklasang EDSA. Nagsimula nang dumagsa ang mamamayan. Tanging armas na bitbit – tapang, galit, dasal, at pag-ibig sa tinubuang bayan.

Isang tula kada araw bilang pagninilay-nilay sa ika-40 taong anibersaryo ng aklasang EDSA. Ang unang tula para sa unang araw ng pag-aaklas ay mula kay Jose F. Lacaba, dakilang manunulat, lubos na minamahal na makata, at makatang tinitingala ng Constantino Foundation.

The nation will soon mark the 40th anniversary of EDSA, a time of simplicity, complexity, and mythmaking. Four days before the Snap Election of February 1986, Renato Constantino wrote insights in the fortnightly paper WE Forum that deserves our pause today:

The Snap Revolution: A Post Mortem The past is always present, but often concealed or costumed. Letizia Roxas Constantino wrote this in March 1986, less than a month after EDSA:

We're in this month's Enrich Magazine of Mercury Drugstore! Hooray! We hosted the lovely Batch 68 of St. Theresa's High School in October 2024, and one of the participants (thank you, Eve Angcanan!) wrote an essay about the exchanges.

More than a date on the calendar, February 4, 1899 marks the beginning of the Philippine-American War. The conflict set in motion a new phase in Philippine history, one that continues to shape how this period is studied and understood.

We share here a panelist’s reflection on the historical discussions from recent Pandesal Forum sessions, including those on the Abad Santos family and the Philippine–American Memorial Day, and on the transmission of historical memory across generations.

The Pandesal Forum, held at Kamuning Bakery Cafe on 6 February 2026, convened historians, writers, and public intellectuals in observance of Philippine–American War Memorial Day.

Today, a new press briefing about the past at a house of memory - Kamuning Bakery - with valued guests who will speak of history and current affairs. 📍 Kamuning Bakery Cafe 📅 February 6, 2026 🕙 10:00 AM Here's a refresher about Kapitan Bikong - 🔗 constantinofoundation.org/isabelo-kapi...

Last night in Ateneo, a short talk after the staging of Sisa: Ang Pinakamiserableng Babaeng Katha ni Rizal, by Allan Derain and Wena Festin. It's a compelling play that shows why it's so important to build bridges that allow young Filipinos to reach and grapple with some of the timelessness of Rizal

“If freedom is to be preserved, fascism must be destroyed at all costs.” These are the timeless words of the hero Pedro Abad Santos, born 150 years ago on 31 January 1876. He was a fighter for the welfare of his people even early in his life.

The Constantino Foundation invites the public to a Pandesal Forum commemorating the 150th Birth Anniversary of Pedro Abad Santos, an important figure in the history of Philippine social reform.

Dr Ian Christopher Alfonso gave a lecture yesterday worthy of the 150th birth anniversary of the revolutionary Pedro Abad Santos. We thank our co-organizers, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, the UP Departamento ng Kasaysayan, and the City of San Fernando, Pampanga.
