Last Saturday, the Pandesal Forum at the historic Kamuning Bakery Café became a stage for diplomacy and literature, prominently featuring the UA&P Escriba Poets.

The event centered on the Manila book launch of Singapore-based Filipino poet Eric Tinsay Valles. Underscoring the importance of the gathering, Singaporean Ambassador Constance See opened the program.

Following the launch, the UA&P Escriba Poets provided a compelling poetry reading session, showcasing the University's vibrant literary talent. The group, including Dr. Joem Antonio, Mr. Vince Acgaoili, Dr. Odie Lacsamana, Dr. Mic Camba, and Ms. Juliana Odoño, energized the crowd with their performances.

The event, a memorable convergence of local talent and international recognition, was hosted by writer and Kamuning Bakery owner Wilson Lee Flores.
