It is a huge honor for me as an author to be part of the Filipinas Heritage Library. Mabuhay ang Pilipinong Manunulat!
Mapping Our Identity
Yesterday, I had an interview and exam at an office in Ortigas. I’m crossing my fingers that I will stumble upon an opportunity soon! And since I was already in the area, I attended a lecture at the Ortigas Library.
I’m a fan of maps because they teach history geeks like myself about the customs of that time period and how the prevailing authorities of the time have influenced the naming of colonies.
I also enjoy visiting libraries because books can never replace the latest digital technological advancements out there. Books are an invaluable source of knowledge and history. They can teach societies how to appreciate their past so that they can move onward in the future.
An important part of Philippine history was the origin of our name. Philip II of Spain was the source of our country’s name. The Gastaldi Ramusio map is a first map that shows the Philippines named in any form. Never mind that the map isn’t geographically accurate.
I also saw my friend from MovEd, Patrick! It fascinates me that my friends and I share common interests, like ancient maps and history.
I hope to attend more lectures about history and culture in the future!
Library Theater
Last night, I had the opportunity to watch a movie at the Ortigas Library.
The library was my hangout when I was still in uni, and also during my time working at a nearby mortgage management firm. Their Filipiniana books are ideal for research, and their events are worth attending.
I enjoyed watching Birdshot by Mikhail Red! It was a thought-provoking film about a farm girl who unwittingly kills a Philippine eagle.
After the film, I got to view their display of Rizal books. As a fan, I’m always drawn to these books, and I hope that more academics will research on his life.
I want to support more events and gatherings in libraries because they foster community amidst books. We can also learn more if we will visit libraries and get inspired to learn, write, and share.
I hope that this is just the beginning of more library events to come!
