Panalo si Buboy!

It was rather surreal to see my name on someone else's blog. Someone whom I have never been introduced to, especially when my name is one of three listed in a press release of PBBY-Salanga Awardees! Woohoo! Congratulations to Ian Casocot and J. Dennis Teodosio (sana ma-meet ko kayo, at mabasa ang inyong mga kuwento). Salamat din kina Tita Kneekee, Dang, Julia, Herb, Kris, Tata, Gay and roomies Nowell, Vera and Angel for the input and taking time to read. Haha. Nowell tried to sell me an entirely different ending for that story.

What a nice bloghopping surprise.

Press Release:

For the 2006 PBBY-Salanga Prize, The Philippine Board on Books for Young People awards honorable mention to three authors: Ian Casocot (Rosario and Her Stories), J. Dennis Teodosio (Tonyong Turo), and Marielle Nadal (Can you see?). No grand prize was awarded this year.

The three winners shall be awarded cash and certificates from the National Library and the Cultural Center of the Philippines at the National Children's Book Day (NCBD) celebration in July 2006 to be held at the CCP.

Aside from being multi-awarded and well-published, Casocot maintains a website on Filipino writings and literary criticism. Like Casocot, Teodosio has also bagged many awards for his writing, including those for Best Screenplay at the Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature. Marielle Nadal, on the other hand, is a graphic artist by profession and works full-time at a foundation.

Life is a tad bit more toxic than usual. Will update soon.
