For two vibrant days, February 19–20, 2026, the space beside the clinic blossomed into a celebration of creativity, courage, and community.

The Pop-Up Art Stalls, part of Fridays With You: Bunga ng Likha, gathered talented Paulinian student entrepreneurs and local artists who wholeheartedly supported and participated in this National Arts Month celebration. Among them were SUBIDA, bringing their masterful craftsmanship; By Mariah Dumaguete, captivating us with charming and cutesy handcrafted accessories; and our very own student creators from the College of Arts and Sciences, Hooked by Lindsay and Craflette, whose works proved that Paulinian talent truly knows no bounds.

Each stall was more than a display table. It was a space of stories, dedication, and dreams carefully shaped by hand. Through every visit, every purchase, and every word of support, the community empowered these artists, affirming that their creativity matters.

As the two-day celebration came to a close, one truth remained evident: art flourishes where it is encouraged, supported, and shared. And in standing behind our local and student artists, we witnessed the true harvest of sining, katotohanan at giting.
