“Hangad Naming patok ang aming mga paksa sa inyong panlasa (We hope our topics will suit your tastes),” said Communication Department Chair Severino Sarmenta Jr. during his welcoming remarks.
Patok: Comparative and Critical Perspectives on Pinoy Pop Culture, a national conference in honor of the Ateneo Communication Department’s 50th Anniversary, was held last October 6-7. Patok is a Filipino word referring to people, things, and events that are currently trending. Sarmenta added that the patok is what connects people.
