Kumusta sa lahat! 👋

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you! Today marks a ✨ major milestone ✨for the Consortium for the Advancement of Philippine Languages and Cultures (CAPLAC) as we officially launch the following:

1. Visit our CAPLAC website. Our website is: caplacpinoy.wordpress.com. 

There you will see the CAPLAC logo, which was designed by a student from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.

2. Read the first-ever newsletter 

Thank you to Edith Borbon for being the editor of our newsletter. These platforms will serve as key resources for updates, events, and collaborative opportunities within our growing community. If you would like your events to be featured on our website and in the newsletter, please do not hesitate to send us an email.

3. Join us at Kapihan sa CAPLAC, a casual and engaging space for conversations about research, teaching, and advocacy in Philippine languages and cultures. 

The theme is New trends in AI and language teaching. It will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025 (for U.S.-based participants) / Saturday, March 29, 2025 (for Philippines-based participants).

Please see the attached flyer for more information. You may register for Kapihan through this registration link and please encourage others to join us (it is free and open to the public).

We also invite you to help us expand our network! If you know colleagues, students, or friends who are passionate about Philippine languages and cultures, encourage them to become a CAPLAC member and be part of our initiatives.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to growing CAPLAC together. 👏
