Arcel Tolentino (staring at the camera) of Quinale Paete sits next to colleague Algae Markgodes from Santa Maria. They have teamed up with another Colleague and friend Mildred Tatel from Famy to do a poetry reading at the Gitna Cafe on Valentines Day 2024. All students of the Tagalog Language at LSPU in Siniloan. 

These students of Tagalog have an interest in Deep Tagalog, the pure form of it, less tainted from colonialism. In fact there are quite a few writers of deep Tagalog. Of course, any serious writer will be interested in the depth and ambiguity of words in any language. Lyricism.

February 14, 2024 an evening of poetry brought to you by Arcel Tolentino featuring Algae Markgodes and Melinda Tatel, amidst the drawings and paintings by Lois and Rizia Adao. Acoustic music by Bok Pasqual, Mario Valdellon, and Eman Paelmo...

...to sooth the broken heart.
