My album for the "Writing from the Heart" workshop at the University of the Philippines Visayas in Tacloban is on http://tonyperezphilippinescyberspacebook18.blogspot.com. The program partners were the Embassy of the U.S.A. in Manila, the Outreach Division of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Heritage Research Center of U.P. Tacloban, and the Office of the Dean of Mass Communications of U.P. Tacloban.
There were 25 participants. Since I was given only one day to conduct everything, we began at 8:00 AM and went overtime through 6:00 PM.
Among the observers were Joycie Alegre (director of the Heritage Research Center) and Dulz Cuna (a visual artist).
The participants are MassCom majors who, aside from being survivors themselves, are being tasked by their university to interview other survivors and produce a book of stories on the days and aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan in Tacloban.
Later that evening, we went to Libro coffee and book shop and art gallery, where Dulz Cuna's exhibit of Typhoon Haiyan paintings are being showcased.
