I enjoy writing declamation pieces. I consider it like writing a short story and a play simultaneously. Of course, a play is also a story in itself. I just said it that way because whenever I write a dramatic monologue, I follow the short story’s structure. Still, I think of the theater whenever I am in the process of creating the dialogue.  

In this part of my website, I have written some declamation pieces. Students and friends in the schools (where I worked) used most of these as their contest pieces in campus and inter-school competitions. Some were also used by the Bulacan Private Schools Association (BULPRISA), an organization of private schools in Bulacan (Philippines), for their declamation contests.
