Good day!

In line with the celebration of Buwan ng Wika, the Department of Social Sciences in cooperation
with Political Science 196 – MHD Class formally invites your organization to participate in the
upcoming mural painting contest: Pintahan Mo, Freedom Ko! with the theme Philippine
Nationalism. The activity aims to uphold a sense of nationalism to the students and, in the
process, utilize their creative skills in the field of visual arts. Moreover, the said activity aims to
create a portrait of Philippine Nationalism that shall be made visible to the people of UP Manila
for a relatively longer period of time. Please refer to the attachment for the guidelines of the
activity.

Also, we advise you to confirm your participation as early as possible because there are only
ten (10) slots available. For queries, feel free to contact Keith Detros at 0915.217.7575.

We are hoping for your positive response. Thank you!
