Instituto Cervantes de Manila, in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain in the Philippines, the University of the Philippines – Diliman, and several cultural partners, will present Lo bueno, si breve, a workshop on microfiction in Spanish led by Spanish author Lorena Escudero.

The sessions will take place on August 27, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the University of the Philippines – Diliman, and on August 28, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. at Instituto Cervantes de Manila (Makati branch).
