Last December, the five-piece’s hit single “Bazinga” made it to Billboard‘s Hot Trending Songs chart.
The song replaced BTS’ “Butter” after enjoying the top spot for six weeks.
April, meanwhile, is declared National Literature Month by virtue of Proclamation No. 968 in 2015.
Aside from the commission, the Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino and the National Book Development Board of the Philippines will also lead the events that will take place this month.
Based on NCCA’s website, this year’s theme is “Muling Pagtuklas sa Karunungang-Bayan.”
The agency also said that several organizations and institutions across the country have expressed their interest to streamline their own literature programs to be part of the government’s celebrations.
“Sa mga nakalipas na taon, ang Buwan ng Panitikan ay ipinagdiwang na sa iba’t ibang rehiyon ng bansa,” NCCA said.
“Bunsod ng mabisang pakikipagugnayan sa iba’t ibang institusyong pansining at pangakademiko, gayun din ang iba pang organisasyong nagtataguyod ng panitikan, iba’t ibang mga grupo na ang nagpakita ng interes sa pakikiisa at ang ilan ay nagsasagawa na ng kanikaniyang programang pampanitikan tuwing buwan ng Abril,” it added.
Some of the activities for Literature Month have already started.
