Dr. Alice Tan Gonzales’ Book Launch – Tigbaliw: A Self-Translation of Hiligaynon Short Stories Into English
November 14 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
The Division of Humanities, in partnership with the UPV OICA, will be hosting the launch of Dr. Alice Tan Gonzales’ latest publication, Tigbaliw: A Self-Translation of Hiligaynon Short Stories Into English, on November 14, 2026 (Saturday), 3PM at the UPV Performance Hall, UPV Iloilo City Campus.
Tigbaliw is a book of self-translation featuring Dr. Gonzales’s latest works, which explore the means and techniques of modern and postmodern writing, moving away from the traditional Hiligaynon writing evident in her earlier works. The book launch will therefore serve not only as a celebration of Dr. Gonzales’s literary contribution, but also as an opportunity to highlight Hiligaynon literature, translation, and West Visayan cultural expressions.
The event has limited seating so please make sure to register early through this link: https://tinyurl.com/TigbaliwBookLaunch26
Seating will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis. Your registration for this event will serve as confirmation of your attendance.
Dr. Gonzalez’s Book Launch in Iloilo is held in cooperation with the UP Likhaan: The University of the Philippines Institute of Creative Writing, the Division of Humanities, UP Visayas and the UPV Office of Initiatives in Culture and the Arts.
We are looking forward to sharing this special event with you!
