The Department of Anthropology, Sociology, and History (DASH) hosted a film viewing event as part of the Rudolf Rahmann Lecture Series, titled “Short Films and Its Relevance to Cebuano Culture and Society Featuring Huwebes Huwebes and Sibuyas ni Perfecto.” Along with the faculty and students of the DASH, film media students from Cebu Normal University, specifically from the school organization CiNe-U, as well as several students from other departments of the School of Arts and Sciences were also present.
