FILCOLS at the World Book and Copyright Day Celebrations

In celebration of World Book and Copyright Day the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) organized the event with the theme “Gender Equality in Creativity: Celebrating Women Empowerment” on April 25 via Zoom.

Women prominent in the Philippine creative sector were the presenters and focus of the online event.

Bebang Siy, a FILCOLS trustee, made a presentation on the struggles of women writers as they balance family life with their writing commitments. She also highlighted the book launched during the pandemic In Certain Seasons: Mothers Write in the Time of Covid.
