Before the night ends, I’d like to thank the people who supported me in Kasingkasing Press‘ Panayanon Monograph Series, where TRANSIENCE: A JOURNEY ON GRIEF AND COMING HOME, is a part of the four books launched during the Iloilo Mega Book Fair at SM City Iloilo.
Thank you to Eu Nice Leving, one of my strongest encouragers, in printing the bookmarks, and designing some of the best-looking ones. Thank you for laboriously punching holes on each of the 110 bookmark pieces.
Thank you to Shelu for accompanying me, and for being there., With your presence and support, I was able to go to the bathroom, or come onstage for the Writer’s Talk during the book launch. Also, for scoring two copies of TRANSIENCE. And for being an all-around friend and support system — bookmark tassel maker, photographer, table proxy, and prayer warrior.
Thank you to Jayfe Joy and Florence Allyza Dellosa for your presence during the onsite book selling, and for purchasing copies of the book, TRANSIENCE, and for meticulously and laboriously creating exquisite and artistic tassels for the bookmark freebies.
Thank you to my UPV-CBF Family for the support and the help in creating tassels. Thank you for being my community.
