A STUDENT of Silliman University was featured in the 2024 Golden Haiku Competition in Washington, D.C.

Keanu Paul Sygaco, a senior student of BS Foreign Affairs, was among those in Washington’s Golden Triangle neighborhood who are to be featured in a haiku gallery of poets.

Sygaco’s haiku stands among the distinguished works displayed throughout the 44 square blocks of the 2024 Golden Triangle Business Improvement District’s haiku event.

The selection process was highly competitive, according to the university.

Only 142 poems were chosen from 4,000 submissions from 88 countries, 49 U.S. States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Sygaco’s haiku will be displayed on the streets of Washington from March 18 until the end of April 2024.
