The Center for West Visayan Studies was created in 1975 as an answer to the concerted effort of preserving the rich historico-cultural legacy of Western Visayas. Back then, it was known as Visayan Studies program. Through the years, it continues to engage in activities such as seminar-workshops, forums, trainings, exhibits and researches. As a repository and propeller of knowledge in the region, CWVS remains to be one of the notable cultural institution in Region VI.
Last Feb. 13, 2014, the Center opened its doors to the public during its Open House. This is in celebration of the University of the Philippines College of Arts and Sciences Week. Let us take a look at the center. Come and join me!
