The book launch also featured several art works and sculptures by several local artists which compliments the essays within the book. In his pep talk about writing for publication, Prof. Yapo shared to the audience some key elements which for him was helpful in writing his first book and proves that anyone with the proper story and passion can be a successful author.   “Learn how to blow up the world and then the rules will come later” so my techniques is simply read to breathe in, write to breathe out, Insincerity as the number one enemy of language  don’t fake it just like how you prettify yourself, Find your voice,  Reveal inner truth, Start with a compelling idea (hook), The best writing is rewriting, and Text should be easily read, but difficult to master. “ said Prof. Yapo. Meanwhile, Atty. Marvin B. Aceron, Publisher from San Anselmo Publication Inc., took the opportunity to introduce some of their published books and donated several sets to the Bongabon National High School represented by Ms. Leilani Sabugo, and to the CLSU University Library which was received by Ms. Camia Lasig and Dr. Jay C.

Liwanag ng Pag-asa: Para sa CLSU, Para sa Bayan

Muling nagningning ang tarangkahan ng Central Luzon State University sa pagdiriwang ng #Pailaw2025, dala ang temang “Liwanag ng Pag-asa: Para sa CLSU, Para sa Bayan.” Ang pagsindi ng bawat ilaw sa unibersidad ay sagisag ng muling pagbangon mula sa bawat unos at hamon na ating napagdaanan. Ang bawat pusong Sielesyuan ay nagiging tanglaw, liwanag na hindi lamang para sa sarili, kundi para gabayan at pag-igtingin ang pag-asa ng mas marami. At sa pag-ilaw ngayong gabi, muli nating pinagtitibay ang ating panata: na patuloy na maging liwanag ng kaunlaran, inspirasyon, at malasakit—para sa CLSU, para sa bayan. #Pailaw2025 #SievingForExcellence
