Here is the recorded video of BTG Unplugged, our special year-end celebration. It opens with a speech by BTG's founder, Dr. Jean Tan. BTG then lauds our colleagues for their recent achievements. This is followed by a musical performance by Duane Allyson G. Pancho. Then come the lightning talks by Olivia S. Mendoza, "Innovations and Reflections on My Feminist Classroom, or How I Found the Freedom to Reinvent My Classes"; Joshua Miguel C. Sanchez, "Starting Early: Teaching Feminist Thought to High School Students"; Gladys B. Esteve, "Feminist Practice: Prioritizing Well-Being in the Classroom"; and Von Katindoy, "The BTG Ripple Effect: A Sampler." The open forum is moderated by PJ Capistrano. There follow poetry readings by Jean Tan and Noelle Leslie dela Cruz, another musical performance by Duane, and a final toast.
