PAHIMAKAS
(adj.)
Isang huling paalam.
Last farewell.
Farewells are sometimes the saddest things one has to hear, sometimes it sparks inspiration to look forward on a possibility of meeting once again and reconnecting with our inner self; and sometimes it introduces loneliness, in the looming abyss of separation and silence.
This year’s edition of “Layog”, the literary and art folio of Aquinian Herald narrates our journey through the pandemic, how it made us appreciate what life once was before the pandemic; how it taught us resiliency and hopefulness.
