c. Evaluation Results
Based on the evaluation results, the seminar was overall successful, timely,
and very informative for both undergraduate and graduate studies students. The
resource speaker was very brilliant and excellent in discussing, elaborating, and
providing facts and examples to the participants. One participant commented
verbatim “I really learned a lot from the speaker specially on how to teach
literature in secondary students. Thank you for the organizers who made this
possible.” Moreover, the topic was also very related and interesting to the students
since it helped them to know more about Bikol literature and the need to teach it in
the Bikolano or Filipino classroom in today’s 21st century learners.

d. Activity Outputs
As a simple memory game, the speaker tasked the participants to be familiar
or memorize the Bikol writers and authors and their works. Most of the participants
were able to familiarize or get to know some of the Bikol writers, their works and
contributions to Bikol literature. Furthermore, the participants upon using the book
Lipwas and Obras Maestras which was authored by the speaker herself were able
to share their thoughts and plans on how they will utilize the book in teaching Bikol
literature to both junior and senior high school students.

e. Problems, Issues, Recommendations

As far as the seminar is concerned, there were no problems or issues
encountered in the event. As for the recommendations, the participants hoped for a
longer session with the speaker since the topics were very interesting. Indeed, the
