Dr. Rocelle N. Jimenez , former head of the Humanities Department, took CTL grade school cultural performers and other spectators to a journey – visits of revolutionary battle sites, mind tour to Philippine scenic spots and chronicling regional fiesta and other festivities - through books and records of olden times with her inspirational message on “Ang Batang Palabasa Dalubhasa Sa Kutura” last November 27 as part of the 2-day affair of the university library’s 2008 book week celebration. Dr. Jimenez excelled, impressed and reminded everyone that “everyday, there is a fiesta being celebrated in the Philippines” with a run-through of the country’s most popular to less known fiestas plus exquisite stories about them. Also, she congratulated grade school performers for a wonderful show that included folk/ethic dance interpretations like Subli and song interpretations of Kundiman and other Filipino folk songs by CTL choral groups.
Prof. Annabelle Palmiery, principal of the Center for Teaching & Learning ended the library’s culminating activity with iterating that each has to know what uniquely Filipino culture is and to have the initiative to learn also other cultures for local and global purposes.
Mr. Gabriel Balenbin of Don Bosco Technical College, an alumni and professional librarian, keynoted the occasion with representatives from CHED’s MIS Divison namely Mr. Loupel Gueto and Mrs. Zenia Romero (alumna) during the first day at the library lobby of the Edilberto P. Dagot Hall. The former encouraged all to give importance to the roles of books, libraries and librarians while the latter provided literacy lectures about utilization and benefits one can gain from Philippine e-lib. Other activities scheduled for the week were film showing, library re-orientation and quiz contest.
