This event is part of the series of literature teaching workshops organized by PEN in selected regions of the country.

It seeks to enhance the skills of literature teachers in both secondary and tertiary levels, especially on teaching regional writing by Filipino authors.

The previous workshops were held at Far Eastern University-Manila, University of San Agustin-Iloilo, University of Cebu, University of the Philippines-Baguio, and Naga College Foundation.

This workshop is co-hosted by Holy Name University, and supported by PEN International in the United Kingdom, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.
