07 March 2018 – The Libulan: Binisayang Antolohiya sa Katitikang Queer has been officially launched earlier today at the Samuel McClintock Hall of Cebu Normal University (CNU). In partnership with Cratos Publishing House Company, Inc. and the CNU Department of English Studies and Other Languages (ESOL) led by the chairperson Dr Carmel Vip Derasin, the event gathered 150 students (mostly AB & BSE English students), faculty, staff, and alumni of CNU.

The launching also consisted of poetry and prose readings from excerpts of the anthology and discussions on queer poetry, fiction, essay, and drama in Cebuano with Libulan contributors Jondy M Arpilleda, Elvin E Ruiz, Wilfreda Cabusas, and Romeo Nicolas with Libulan co-editor R Joseph Dazo.

Libulan queer anthology?s next launchings will happen this March 17 at Parkmall in Mandaue City and very soon, in Cagayan de Oro and Davao.
