Instructor Malaya Lapina of the Department of Social Sciences disclosed that gender-safe spaces are defined by social relations rather than physical spaces. Instructor Jeffrey Javier of the Department of Humanities pointed out how local topographic features featured in poetry using adopted languages could displace local cultures. Finally, Assistant Professor Jezreel Abarca of the Department of Human Kinetics advocated the use of "Laban" notation to document the indigenous dances whose practitioners are decreasing in number.
