We started by streamlining our social media brand to reflect the growing recognition of the bigger role that Agam wants to play in sparking conversations about climate change through our focus on art and stories.

Acclaimed book ‘Agam: Filipino Narratives on Uncertainty and Climate Change’ last week reached a new audience as the authors featured on its pages convened to help relaunch the collection at Mt. Cloud Bookshop, Casa Vallejo in Baguio.
The bookshop’s co-owner Padmapani Perez, a poet and an anthropologist, wrote one of the 24 literary pieces featured in the book.
‘Agam’, first published in 2014, is a pioneering anthology of stories about climate change. Portraits by Jose Enrique Soriano taken in Tacloban — devastated by Supertyphoon Yolanda in 2013 — put a face to the narratives told in eight different Filipino languages (Tagalog, Ilocano, Cebuano, Waray, Maguindanao, Bikol, Sinama and English).

Our elders are currently elsewhere on a much-deserved break. So, in behalf of RC and Dudi, who are at the moment in Sri Lanka, and in behalf of Nina and Randy who are in Europe right now with their children and grandkids, I welcome you all to this fine event, in behalf of the Constantino Foundation and the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities. Thank you for finding time to share the gift of music and words, in memory of Letizia Constantino, or Dada Ming, to her grandchildren. Thank you for gracing this occasion co-organised as well by ICSC, which is manned by some of the country’s brightest, goofiest fierce folks working on climate and energy policy.
