I am a freelance writer who writes short stories, poems and
magazine features. I have also written a yet unproduced
historical screenplay. I am now doing research for my novel set in nineteenth-century Manila.

I love to sing, and I also play the guitar -- the reason I joined our Parish choir.

Recently launched my website, WriteLit.com, "Where writers and readers meet." If you possess a passion for the written word, hope to see you there! :)

Also launched last Sept. 15, 2005 FilipinoWriter.com, an online community for Filipino writers and readers. FilipinoWriter.com aims to improve the lot of Filipino writers and promote a "reading culture" among Filipinos. :)
