On April 4, 2025, an important document belonging to the Philippine Insurgent Records (PIR) was returned to the National Library of the Philippines (NLP) through Hon. Lisa Guerrero Nakpil, Commissioner of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).

The document, titled Election Appointment of Policarpio Buenavides as ‘Kapitan Volante’ (Flying Captain) of Malasiqui, Pangasinan, dated January 10, 1896, and measuring 11 cm x 16 cm, is now reunited with the rest of the PIR collection held by the agency. This reaffirmed the call made by Director Cesar Gilbert Q. Adriano, Director IV, in November 2024, encouraging those who may possess copies of PIR documents to return them to the NLP.

Ang Pambansang Aklatan ng Pilipinas ay nakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Panitikan ngayong Abril, sa pangunguna ng Pambansang Komisyon para sa Kultura at mga Sining, Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino, at Pambansang Lupon sa Pagpapaunlad ng Aklat.

Sa temang “Sikad Panitikan: Kultura at Panitikan ng Kaunlaran,” binibigyang-diin ang pagsikad ng panitikan bilang mahalagang salik sa paghubog ng ating pagkakakilanlan at pag-unlad bilang isang bansa. Ngayong taon, ginugunita rin natin ang isang dekada mula nang malagdaan ang Proklamasyon Bilang 968 noong 2015 na nagdeklara selebrasyong ito.

Sikad Panitikan… Para sa iba, para sa bayan.
