PAGBÁTÎ XXVIII. Padayon. Fished from the depths of the first year of a pandemic, this folio captures some of the tales written during the early days of lockdown, amidst the seemingly endless waves of silence. Its monochromatic cover of beige shows a boy, traveling through the expanse on a paper boat, heeding straight to his path and his back at front.

This is the 28th edition of Pagbati Literary Folio. It is Collegium's 6th release for the Academic Year 2020-2021, and the flagship release for the 2nd semester.
