Welcome

Welcome, fellow dreamer-doers.

I write not to impress, but to express — to process pain, celebrate joy, and respond to the world around me. Writing is my hunger, my thirst, my medicine.

Here in M.A.D. Ligaya’s Workshop, I gather my reflections on education, research, language, literature, personal growth and development, and politics in my country. This is also where I pursue my advocacy on self-improvement.

I am a teacher, writer, researcher, and an advocate for self-improvement. I write in English and Filipino, across essays, stories, poems, plays, and scholarly reflections.

Browse the menu, stay a while, and share what resonates with you.

I have written more about why I write. Please read it here.

Mabuhay!
