Muling magtitipon ang mga pluma sa isang palihang para sa pagsusulat. Sa panahong halos lahat ay ibinubunyag at ibinabandera, tatahak tayo patungo sa payapang kabundukan kung saan ang tanging tunog ay ang ihip ng hangin at huni ng kuliglig.

Dito, tayo'y maglalakbay patungo sa payapa, papalayo sa ingay, pabalik sa panulat.

Tutumbukin ng taunang Palihan para sa mga Nagsisimulang Manunulat sa SOX (SOX Writers Workshop) ang isang anino ng kontemporaryong panahonโ€”na lahat ay subsob sa sawsawan ng isaโ€™t-isa.

Wala nang naitatago, wala nang hindi naka-aalam, lahat ay lantad na para sa pagkonsumo ng kahit na sino. Konektado tayong lahat sa ayaw at sa gusto natin sa pandaigdigang sapot ng pananalapi ng likes, reacts, shares, at reports.

Dahil dito, ang palihan ay tutungo sa kabundukan para pagmumugin ang mga fellow ng sariwang hangin at paypayan ng hamog sa katanghaliang tapat. Walang internet, walang signal, walang sagabal. Tanging ang lamig ng ihip ng kakahuyan ang magpapakilig sa ating mga nag-aalimpuyong kalamnan. Tanging ang pagtugis natin sa init ng pinagbagang panggatong ang magsisilbing sayaw natin sa saliw ng koro ng mga kuliglig. Tatanggihan ang mga komportable para muli nating maalala ang mga tunay na may timbang sa ating unti-unting nauupos na mga kandila.

Kita-kita ay magkikita-kita para makita kita.
We will converge to commune so we can connect.

โ€”โ€”โ€”

Para sa mga nais maging 2025 SOX Writing Workshop Fellow, narito ang mga kinakailangang ipasa:

Poetry:
1. Tatlo o higit pang piyesa

Creative Fiction:
1. Isang piyesa (walang limitasyon sa bilang ng salita)

Creative Nonfiction:
1. Isang piyesa (walang limitasyon sa bilang ng salita)

Kung ang linggwaheng ginamit ay hindi English o Filipino, dapat mayroon itong kasamang salin sa English o Filipino.

Para sa pagpasa ng mga piyesa, narito ang mga email address at link na pagpapasahan base sa inyong lugar na panggagalingan:
1. South Cotabato - [email protected]
2. Cotabato - [email protected]
3. Sultan Kudarat - [email protected]
4. Sarangani - https://forms.gle/nuURqw5h7y8SJ8ou6
5. General Santos City - https://tinyurl.com/yc8bptu2

Ang huling araw ng pagpasa ay sa June 20, 2025.

Sana ay magkita-kita kita!

For a year, Alitaptap Bookshop had advocated for access to books and promotion of local literature and local art.

For a year, we did multiple activities that support this advocacy. In collaborations with different organizations, we did poetry nights, zine launchings and workshops, book donation drives, literary events, pop-up activities and so much more.

We are also proud to have been of help in the founding of Masรก Book Club and Timog Literary Circle. TBH, this is a lot for a year! And something to be very proud of.

But in the midst of collaborations, Alitaptap Bookshop is actually just a one-woman team at the core. With travels needed for my full-time job and other schedule demands, handling the bookshop full-time as well had been quite challenging.

So it has been decided that it's time we take a break. :) But we're still going to be around.

We're still going to:
โœ… organize pop-up activities
โœ… organize literary events
โœ… organize zine launching-workshops
โœ… meet for book club meetings

We will still be here doing collaborations. You can still message us for book availability and we will still get back to you as soon as we can. :) Yes, you can still order online.

As they say, you can't pour from an empty cup. Let us take time to fill up our cups and we will be back.

โœจ ALITAPTAP 1ST ANNIVERSARY โœจ

More than providing access to books and encouraging love for reading, Alitaptap Bookshop also advocates for local literature. Simula nang nagbukas ang pinto ng bookshop, naging madalas na ang mga events natin bilang suporta sa mga local writers sa Soccsksargen.

Nagkaroon tayong ng poetry performances, zine making workshops, zine launching events, at pop-up events in support also of local artists and small businesses. Kasama namin sa mga events na ito ang Timog Literary Circle, Masรก Book Club, at Tridax Zines.

In celebration of our first anniversary, we partnered with Kalipay Cafรฉ to hold "Panaysayon sang Manunulat: Reflections, struggles, and the soul of storytelling." Nakasama natin ang writers na sina Andrea D. Lim, Hannah Adtoon Leceรฑa, at Jade Mark Capiรฑanes na mga manunulat din ng SOX at nasa ibang lugar na for work and studies. Maswerte tayong makasama sila sa kanilang saglit na pag-uwi sa region 12.

Alitaptap Bookshop was created to provide a safe space for readers, writers, and artists. This is a community we're trying to build. If you wish to collaborate with us for similar events, i-message niyo lang kami. :) Together, let's build a community we can all call home.

You're welcome here! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿซ‚

โœจALITAPTAP TURNS ONE!โœจ

That entire year since we opened the bookshop turned out to be quite an adventure. We took the risk, not knowing what lies ahead but God gifted us with opportunities to connect and form a community.

Alitaptap Bookshop was formed with the advocacy for reading and access to books at the forefront. It continues to be that way. :)

Maraming, maraming salamat sa lahat ng naging parte ng unang taon ng Alitaptap Bookshop! Salamat sa mga kwento, tawanan, at mga mga bagong kaibigan! Magkikita-kita pa tayo.

At maraming salamat din sa bumisita at bumili ng mga libro sa ating 2-day Buy One Take One Anniversary Sale. ๐Ÿ“–โœจ

Hindi pa tapos ang celebration. Kitakits bukas sa Kalipay Cafรฉ para sa ating author talk "Panaysayon sang Manunulat: reflections, struggles, and the soul of storytelling". Come, celebrate with us! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿซถ
