What can printed manga teach us about travel in an age of GPS, travel apps, and endless online content?

Drawing from Japanese travel culture and graphic storytelling, Karl Ian Uy Cheng Chua explores the surprising potential of travel manga as a medium that combines practical guidance, cultural immersion, and narrative imagination. His keynote invites us to rethink how visual storytelling can transform tourism experiences and help travelers navigate unfamiliar spaces—even beyond the digital world.

Join one of the Philippines' leading scholars of Japanese Studies, manga, and popular culture as he examines how an innovative Japanese format might inspire new possibilities for tourism and cultural engagement in the Philippines.

Is language merely something to be learned—or something to be lived?

What happens when students encounter culture not through textbooks alone, but through music, poetry, film, and performance?

Join us as Royce Randall G. Lim reimagines language education beyond conventional classroom methods, demonstrating how performance transforms Spanish from a subject of study into a living form of cultural expression. Through this approach, language learning becomes more engaging, meaningful, and deeply connected to identity, creativity, and communication.
