To my surprise, the place was still full of eager readers excited to meet their literary heroes and the organizers spared no punches in their scheduling of exciting activities. From the first, he treated me like an old friend and we spent more than a few minutes chatting about the literary scene.He also graciously signed my copies of his books Riverrun and The Heart of Summer, and his translation of Lope K. Santos’ Banaag at Sikat.
While wandering around the Indie Collab booth, I ran into Balangay Books publisher Roland Verzo and Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Intertextual Division head Beverly Wico Siy.At the same booth, I got a copy of Margaret R. Tadeja and LBJ Cabaluna’s book ‘90s Pinoy Rock, a sort of encyclopedia of most of the bands making music during that decade. I hope someone comes out with a book on the ‘80s musicians that laid the foundation for the local music scene.
