The reception in honor of Czech Deputy Minister Martin Tlapa was held at the residence of Amb. Jaroslav Olša Jr last April 16. Chairman of Ateneo de Naga Board of Trustees, Atty. Jun Sales, represented university president Fr. Robert Rivera, SJ. Together with the BoT chair were University Press Director Fr. Wilmer Tria and Deputy Press Director Kristian Cordero.

The Czech embassy in Manila is a constant supporter of the cultural programs of the University Press. It also assisted in giving a generous amount of humanitarian aid to the victims of Typhoon Nina that hit the region in 2015. Beneficiaries are the partner communities of the university in Milaor, San Fernando, Bula and the indigenous communities in Ocampo, Camarines Sur.
