UNITAS Journal
JOURNAL VOLUMES
As the oldest university-based multidisciplinary journal of its kind in the Philippines and possibly in Asia, UNITAS is a rich source of information and insights in understanding various aspects of the history of knowledge production in the Philippines across the disciplines. Established in 1922, UNITAS will celebrate its centenary in 2022, so a look into the rich history of the journal itself has been made possible by the UST Heritage Library Collections which has painstakingly scanned all copies of UNITAS starting from its very first issue published in July 1922. This was done for the preservation and digitalization of the journals and for the convenient perusal of specialists, scholars, and general readers.

Vol 90 No 1 – Finding Teo: Panimulang Tula/Tala sa Tula/Talambuhay
This essay explores the trails that lead to the writing of the biography of a Tagalog poet who may be considered as an important name in contemporary Philippine Literature, Teo T. Antonio. In discussing the biographical aspects that reverberate across his poems, the essay tries to address the need to start a Popular Biography project like this essay which is meant for a broader and more diverse audience, rather than limited literati.
Vol 89 No 1 – Millennial Traversals: Outliers, Juvenilia, & Quondam Popcult Blabbery (Part II: Expanded Perspectives)
The second part of Millennial Traversals provides continuity with the first by opening with reviews. It also departs from the first by picking out reviews of “non-films,” specifically an opera, an autobiographical account, a postmodern novel, and an anthology of short fiction. These are either scholarly and journal published, or the hundred-plus movie mini-critiques that will constitute the years-in-the-making canon project commissioned by Summit Media.
