PLAI–Western Visayas Librarians Council mourns the loss of our fellow librarian, Mrs. Ma. Leonora Flame last January 24, 2026. She is a loving mentor, gentle leader, and devoted knowledge provider.

Her passion for service, warm presence, and sincere care for others touched countless lives in our library community. She leaves behind not only a legacy of professionalism, but also of kindness and compassion that will never be forgotten.

We join her family and loved ones in prayer as we honor a life beautifully lived in service to knowledge and humanity.

Not just a meeting—this was a planning table for the future of librarianship in Western Visayas.

From literacy initiatives and professional development to partnerships and policy discussions, the 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗜𝗻𝗰. – 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗮𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 (𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗜-𝗪𝗩𝗥𝗟𝗖) 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 set the direction for programs that will strengthen librarians, libraries, and communities across the region in 2026 and beyond.

Progress begins with conversation, and collaboration makes it possible.
