My past has finally caught up with me. Yes, it’s been revealed. Well, I didn’t go around telling people but somehow they knew. That was how I landed up being invited to write an article for the latest issue of Partner Philippines. Ok, there’s no need to dig my history. I am an English Language Honours graduate. That’s for the record.

Now for the more interesting bit… After interviewing Professor Roberto Mariano, President of the Philippine Bayanihan Society (Singapore) on 29 Apr 09 and submitting the draft a day later, I’ve been waiting for my article to be published.

The waiting process is always agonizing as you never know if your article will be edited beyond recognition or worse, even see the light of day.

Finally, the latest edition of the magazine, a collaboration between the Embassy of Philippines in Singapore and a local publishing firm is sent for print and the hard copy is sitting sizzling hot on my lap.

What was extra sweet was that my article was not edited at all by the magazine editors. They just took it lock stock and barrel. Guess that’s an extra boost that my writing skills have not deteoriated over the years! Hahaha…

Here’s my article. Enjoy!
