RoD Has a Column in MB

I’d like to plug this before Saturday rolls around: Read or Die, a non-profit organization that aims to promote literacy in the Philippines, now has a twice-a-week (every Saturday and Wednesday) column in the Manila Bulletin. Miss Tin Mandigma is currently maintaining it. The first writeup came out on December 22, and could be read here.

If you’re interested in helping raise literary awareness in the Philippines, I hope you’ll follow this column and keep an eye on RoD’s many projects.

Have just been a bit busy/scatterbrained, but should be writing an essay on efforts to promote literacy alongside Philippine speculative fiction sometime. Although perhaps, that’s self-explanatory right there?

PS: In case anyone tried to respond to a post on this blog within the last 24 hours, my apologies: I was trying out a plugin that was apparently not working. It took me a while to log back in and fix it. Comments should be working fine now.
