“Alam mong tama ang iyong ginagawa kapag naiinis sa iyo ang masasamang tao,” emphasized by illustrator and educator Renan Ortiz in his parallel discussion, “Drawing Resistance,” which highlighted the role of cartoonists in challenging systems of power, addressing issues that affect the public, and communicating clearly through visual storytelling.

During the session, Ortiz traced the history of cartooning, explained the differences among corporate, state, and alternative media, and underscored the responsibilities carried by cartoonists in society.

Words became a call for resistance and remembrance as poet, writer, and environmental advocate John Iremil Teodoro took the stage during a parallel talk, urging writers to transform literature into a weapon against climate injustice and ecological destruction.

“Eco-poetry is the fusion of literature and environmental studies,” underscored Teodoro in his talk entitled “Eco-Poetry, Nature, and the Art of Poetry,” as he emphasized that literature must move beyond creative expression, amplifying the voices of communities silenced by environmental crises and challenging systems that continue to exploit both people and the planet.
