🕊 Mrs. Consuelo Barcelona-Collantes was a very dear friend to the Jurado Study Collection and the College of Home Economics. She was a pioneer of the Clothing, Textiles, and Related Arts program of the college in the 1960s. Mrs. Collantes was a mentee of Dr. Leonarda Jurado, and had been an avid supporter of the CHE Costume Museum (now the Jurado Study Collection). She generously donated ternos and textiles to the collection, along with various archival equipment for its conservation.
The Jurado Study Collection is grateful for the continued support she has shown us through the years, especially during her most recent visit with us at the launch of our anniversary exhibit back in August 2025. Her legacy as a valued contributor, an avid supporter, and a dear friend will live on forever with the Jurado Study Collection.

Our deepest sympathies with her loved ones. We treasure our time with her, and will truly miss her. 🤍

Every thread tells a story, and every story helps complete the flag.

Join us for Stitching the Spectrum, organized by the UP Center for Women's and Gender Studies in collaboration with the Department of Clothing, Textile, and Interior Design and Babaylanes, Inc. This is a collaborative textile project that celebrates the diversity, resilience, and unity of the q***r community. Participants are invited to donate pieces of colored fabric and help stitch them together into a massive, multi-textile rainbow flag—a collective artwork woven from our shared histories, identities, and experiences.

As we sew, participants will take part in facilitated conversations on Pride history, q***r stories, and community building. Through every patch and every stitch, we create not only a flag, but also a space for connection, reflection, and solidarity.

When: June 26, 2026
Sit & Stitch: Basic Stitching Techniques (10:30 AM–11:00 AM)
Stitch & Spill: Conversations on Pride Histories (1:00 PM–4:30 PM)
Where: UPCWGS Conference Room

Fabric donations are now open at the UPCWGS! If you are unable to attend the workshop, you may still contribute by dropping off colored clothes, fabric scraps, and other textile materials until the 25th of June!

Registration is limited. Stay tuned for the release of our speakers and program!

SALIKSIK, SILID, SINULID
Research Colloquium

The pioneering initiative of the UPCHE CTID Department, under the leadership of its Chair, Asst. Prof. Kitty Caragay, came to fruition yesterday as the CTID Department successfully hosted its first-ever Research Colloquium. The event showcased the compelling research outputs of graduate students and faculty members from Interior Design and Clothing Technology, earning enthusiastic appreciation from all who attended.

Spearheaded by Dr. Hannah Faustino, the colloquium brought together diverse studies and perspectives centered on the concept of ginhawa—exploring how comfort, well-being, and meaningful human experiences may be expressed and achieved through interior environments, clothing, and innovative teaching and learning strategies.

More than a venue for presenting research, the colloquium served as a vibrant platform for scholarly exchange, demonstrating the important contributions of design and technology disciplines in enhancing everyday life and advancing knowledge.

Our heartfelt thanks go to all who made this milestone event possible—our presenters, reactors, distinguished guests, moderators, participants, and generous sponsors whose support contributed greatly to its success.

Congratulations to the CTID Department- the faculty, staff and students, on this significant achievement! May this be the beginning of a thriving tradition of research excellence and collaboration. We look forward with excitement to Part 2 in 2027.
