Thank you also to Jane Lyn Dupingay and the MWS team for inviting me to read my flash fiction piece “Buhay ay Langit sa Piling Mo” (“Life is Heaven in your Arms”) and its lovely companion piece “Beginning of Autumn” by the Chinese poet and migrant worker Zhang Haitao. The paired pieces were part of the second volume of Call and Response 2: A Singapore Migrant Anthology (Math Paper Press, 2021), edited by Zakir Hossain Khoran, Bhing Navato, Poh Yong Han and Joshua Ip.

It was a privilege and a pleasure to run two storytelling workshops last 26 February and 26 March for the Migrant Writers of Singapore with SingLit Station. These folks are among the most talented writers I have ever met and are absolutely unmatched in heart.

We Filipinos are natural storytellers. It’s our way of sharing and building our communities, our faith and deepening our connections with one another. Salamat sa inyong lahat!
