I am honored to join the Committee on Creative Works at National University. I look forward to actively participating in future creative activities. Recently, I shared my comics with the committee, and I hope to inspire colleagues and students to create their own comics in the future.

 On May 22nd, 2024, I will once again be conducting a comics strip workshop at National University Manila. Alongside Mr. Damian Velasquez III, we will discuss the history of komiks in the Philippines and provide guidance on creating their own comics. I would like to extend my gratitude to the National University Central Student Government for inviting us to participate in the Sining ng Alimbukad event. I hope that some of the Nationalians will be inspired to create and produce their own comics in the future.

  I was invited to conduct a comic strip-making workshop for the students of the National University Manila, College of Education, Arts, and Sciences on February 2, 2023. I would like to express my gratitude to the Comm Pendium for making this event possible. I hope the students learned something, and that this experience inspires some of them to create their own comics. Accompanying me to speak with the students was Mr. Ian Velasquez, the grandnephew of the Father of Philippine Comics. He discussed the brief history of comics in the Philippines and the legacy of Mr. Tony Velasquez's characters in Philippine culture.
