I. Benham Rising

The Catanduanes people call the Benham rise as Kalipung-awan, which literally means
“lonelines from an isolated place”.

Benham Rising was created as a response to the pandemic in the hopes of making the development process not so lonely anymore.

A 3-day event of panel discussions, lectures, and consultancy sessions for selected projects.
