Nag-alab ang mga salita at damdamin sa unang araw ng Ligligan Poesyang Makuyad—isang pagdiriwang ng husay at lalim ng panitikang Filipino. Mula sa makapangyarihang lektura hanggang sa makabuluhang workshop, muling pinatunayan na ang panulaan ay buhay, humihinga, at patuloy na sumasalamin sa ating pagkatao bilang Pilipino.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng naging bahagi ng araw na ito—sa ating panauhing tagapagsalita, mga kalahok, at katuwang na institusyon. Bukas naman, ating ipagdiriwang ang ganda at yaman ng panitikang Kapampangan. Tuloy ang paglalakbay ng salita. Mabuhay ang panitikan! 📜💫
