Rio Alma at ang Huling Hudhud ng Sanlibong Pagbabalik at Paglimot Para sa Filipinas Kong Mahal
National Artist for Literature, Virgilio S. Almario (a.k.a. Rio Alma) will be holding a two-hour seminar titled “Mga Epiko at Katutubong Tula ng Filipinas” on June 19, 2 p.m. at the newly opened C&E Information and Resource Center at 1616 Quezon Avenue, South Triangle, Quezon City. Alma will also be launching his latest book, Huling Hudhud ng Sanlibong Pagbabalik at Paglimot Para sa Filipinas Kong Mahal, a modern epic about his various travels in the country from 2006 to 2007. The book is the culmination of his longtime research about Philippine legends, history and current events shaping the country today. The book, designed by Fidel Rillo, is presented in the coffee-table format, rich with photographs taken by various lensmen. (The bulol on the cover is from the art collection by National Artist for the Visual Arts BenCab.)
