Savage Mind: Arts, Books, Cinema, together with the Goethe-Institut Philippinen and writers Jaya Jacobo and Kristian Cordero, is set to host a traveling writing workshop from May 10 to 17, 2026, moving through the provinces of Albay, Sorsogon, and Camarines Sur.

Called “Writings-in-Progress” (WIP), the workshop is built on a simple but demanding premise: that the act of writing is inseparable from the act of being somewhere. Rather than gathering participants in a single room, WIP puts them in motion, asking them to write, translate, and think in direct encounter with the landscapes, histories, and communities of the Bikol region.

In Virac, our native delicacies stand as proud symbols of our identity showcasing the unique blend of culture, tradition, and local resources that define our community. From beloved kakanin to homegrown specialties, each dish carries the story of our people and reflects flavors that resonate not only within our town, but across the diverse culinary landscape of ASEAN.

Let us take pride in our local cuisine, support our MSMEs, and continue sharing the rich flavors of Virac with the world.
