“CANVAS is proud and honored to have played a part in this recognition. Working primarily with painting, his works have been exhibited through CANVAS, Art Underground, and other galleries in the Philippines
“If poetry is a universal language, translation is the bridge that connects us all, reminding us of our shared humanity,” said Angela Narciso Torres who provided the vibrant English translation that recaptured the delight and nostalgia of Rene Villanueva’s Bum Tiyaya Bum, a collection of Filipino rhymes and verses for the very young published by Ilaw ng Tahanan.
We have always believed that it is not enough for children to learn to read. His contributions to children’s literature include works such as Si Mabait at ang mga Daliri ng Liwanag (2004), Ang Sampung Bukitkit (2010), Tag-araw ng mga Ibong Hilaga (2011), Mga Saranggola sa Tag-ulan (2012), Ang Nag-iisa at Natatanging si Onyok (2015), Ang Aklatang Pusa (2018), and Ang Nanay ni Erwin/Ang Tatay ni Clara (2018).

Book co-edited by Sayuno wins national award in Philippines
A book edited by Postdoctoral Research Associate Cheeno Marlo Sayuno and Eugene Evasco has received a National Book Award from the Republic of the Philippines.
Their book, Bata, Hiwaga, Bansa: Pamana ni Rene O. Villanueva sa Panitikang Pambata (Child, Wonder, Nation: Legacy of Rene O. Villanueva to Children’s Literature), was named Best Anthology in Filipino.
Bata, Hiwaga, Bansa features critical analysis and discussions from children’s literature scholars of Rene O.
Villanueva, who is recognized as an early visionary in Filipino children's literature. And so, I hope that the book will spark interest in appreciating and preserving the local wildlife.” said Moral.
CANVAS Executive Director Gigo Alampay said that CANVAS is proud and honored to have played a part in Moral’s recognition. Si Cielo at Ang Asong Si Stella (Cielo and the Dog Named Stella) is illustrated by Tokwa Peñaflorida and is published by Chikiting Books.
Her work has appeared in Poetry magazine, Missouri Review, and Quarterly West. We are proud of these books and happy that they will be showcased internationally.

Patricia Marie Grace S. Gomez. Bum Tiyaya Bum is now part of that bridge, and I am deeply grateful,” said Torres.
Torres is the author of the poetry collections What Happens is Neither (Four Way Books, 2020) and Blood Orange (Willow Books, 2013).
Torres says that she is, “It’s a thrill[ed] to see Bum Tiyaya Bum on the IBBY Honour List (for Translation)” in thanking IBBY-Ph for the inclusion of this work in the honor’s list. I hope that our book about Rene O. Villanueva is a way to honor his legacy and inspire the many creators for children in the Philippines: authors, illustrators, educators, publishers, media practitioners, and many others."
Sayuno is currently on leave from his position as associate professor of communication, research, and children's literature at the University of the Philippines Los Baños.
Jericho Moral’s artworks bring Jez Martin de Veyra’s original and whimsical story to vivid life, making it more likely that young readers will love this book,” said Gigo Alampay, CANVAS Executive Director.
Moral is a visual artist from Marikina City whose practice is rooted in worldbuilding and narratives. “Masaya kami na makasama ang Pilipinas sa IBBY Honour List.
“The illustrations were inspired by my fascination with birds and insects.
