I am a freelance journalist, researcher and editor from the Philippines. I was born and raised in an average family in Malabon, studied mostly in public schools, and became a political activist. Currently, I am working with my first book, a compilation of my poems written in Filipino, the Philippines' national language. I am now living in Antipolo, Rizal, together with my wife, my widowed mother, and a dog named Nadz. |
I am realist and naturalist writer. |
I usually write long critical essays, expressive and "courageous" poetry, and melancholic, vivid short stories. |
