A Proud Moment: Featured by the National Book Development Board – READ PINOY 

I am beyond honored to share that my book has been featured by the National Book Development Board (NBDB) under READ PINOY, gaining recognition not just locally, but throughout the Philippines. This acknowledgment is more than an achievement—it is a celebration of Filipino storytelling, creativity, and the power of sharing our own voices with the world. 

Being recognized as an author and having my book highlighted on a national platform is a dream come true. It is a reminder that stories have the power to inspire, connect, and leave a lasting impact. From the soft launch at the Cebu Book Fair in the University of the Philippines last September 6, 2025, to now being celebrated across the country, this journey fills my heart with gratitude and motivation to keep creating. 

To everyone who has supported me—readers, fellow writers, and mentors—this is as much your achievement as it is mine. Let this recognition inspire all Filipino authors to continue sharing our stories, because every voice deserves to be heard.
