I've been writing since I was four years old. Of course mostly unpublished stuff, and publications I've written or was editor of, were in grade school, high school and college. But here are a few worth mentioning:

 • Nine Letters: The Story of the 1986 Philippine Revolution. A b/w coffee table book on the overthrow of the dictator Ferdinand Marcos and the events that precipitated it. We sold 10,000 copies and it was on the Asian Bestseller List for nine months! Best friend Melba Morales Suazo and I got mostly good reviews. We plan to reprint it soon as we sold ALL our copies.

• It Rained on Lito's Birthday. My first childrens book published in 1986.  Plan to make it a series and have the second one on the burner.

• Folk Tales and Legends of the Philippines. Compiled and edited this small book for the Vancouver Philippine Day celebrations in 1989.

• A Treasury of Philippine Cooking. Compiled recipes of my mother's Laguna family (the Aventurado-Laico-Pronove clans)  and my mother-in-law Ninay Panlilio Baron and others. Published in 1984 before I left for San Francisco.

I was also founding editor of The Family Reader, an Educhild and Professional and Cultural Development of Women, two non-government groups in the Philippines. The Family Reader was published every month and had a final circulation of 32,000.

If we get lucky and have the resources, we'd like to revive this mag that has something for every member of the family.

We'll post some of the old issues soon! I promise.

I wrote for The Emigrant, a Hong Kong-based magazine preparing all the articles about emigrating to Canada.  After 1989, the publisher  decided to close it in deference to the Chinese government.

I founded The Vancouver Philippine Letter, the first Filipino-Canadian news and features magazine in 1989 (ala Time--at least I would like to think!) It was earliest source of info for migrating to Canada and the US. It was the first to release Canada's mechanics of the current point-system method of self-made applications.

Books and publications we are working on now (with possible collaboration with Squarify.

• A longer version of Folk Tales and Legends of the Philippines in full color this time with English and Filipino (Tagalog) translations.

• Sequels to Ano Yon? Ano Yan? like Sino Yon? Sino Yan, Saan Yan? Saan Yon? Kailan Yon? Kailan Yan?

BUT THIS TIME I'M HIRING STAFF because I can't do this all alone these days!

Can't pay much but I promise you'll learn a lot and enjoy my family's company!
