I’m a Los Baños-based writer and photographer who walks. #

My poems and essays are explorations on the possibilities of a creative, inquiring, free, and liberative spirituality in the Philippines.

Most of my writings begin as inklings gathered during walks. I keep these seeds of thought in a digital archive I call talahardin.


Every first week of the month, I send an email newsletter called Umán. Each email is an experimental weaving of the creative artifacts I produce from my daily studies, readings, journaling, and walks.

Occasionally, I also send a newsletter called The Long Walk, which features essays on walking, literature, photography, and spirituality.

Get both newsletters when you subscribe below. It’s free and you can unsubscribe anytime.
