It
has always been my dream to write as a regular columnist in a newspaper
may it be a local or in a national broadsheet. But the truth of
the matter is, the latter comes as a far-fetch dream. What is
reachable for now is the first as only a handful of people love to
write in the province.
3 years ago, Joey invited us to write for his father's newspaper, the Ang Mantalaan,
a local newspaper in Surigao del Sur. And so we did.
Because of it being premature, it didn't prosper and progress into a
full blown writing career. And so my dream of writing continued on...
Living in Dagupan, and living 5 hours away from Manila, has been such a
big change for me. Not only do I miss traffic so much but I also
miss Manila's heat and road stench. I am now enjoying my rustic,
laid-back life...and so I'm back to writing...and writing in Dagupan's
local paper, The Regional Examiner.
In addition, I just formed my very own school publication...the
Quill...which I'm planning to turn into an infectious writing bog ready
for an epidemic of writing and reading appreciation.
Hehehe...dreaming again.
Anyway, this is just some sort of introduction so I can begin posting
my weekly column in my blog. Most of these are educational
reflections regarding the Philippines. Some are familiar, some
are new. Some are complaints, some are suggestions...In other words, my
piece of making a difference in our country...I hope.
