Two days of talent, creativity, culture, and teamworkโLITMUS 2026 brought together young people from across the city to showcase their skills through various literary, musical, and dance competitions.
Anchored on this yearโs Linggo ng Kabataan theme, โ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฌ, ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ,โ LITMUS 2026 highlighted how young people may come from different backgrounds, experiences, and communities, yet still share common values, dreams, and hopes for the future.
The competitions also gave us an opportunity to appreciate our culture and identity as Filipinos. Through our literature, music, and traditional dances, we were reminded of the common ground that connects usโa shared history, culture, and heritage that continues to shape who we are.
Our differences make our communities diverse, but our shared culture reminds us that there is much that brings us together. Events like LITMUS are important not only because they provide a platform for young people to showcase their talents, but also because they help keep our traditions and cultural expressions alive among the next generation.
The success of this event was made possible through the support and cooperation of the people and offices who contributed to its planning and implementation.
