A Filipino born woman, lives in Denmark, wrestles with the Danish language; attempts to preserve her mother tongue- Cebuano, writes prose and poetry in English. Wife, mother, teacher, cross-cultural worker; loves to sing, paint and tend the garden; finds it delightful to demonstrate her poems by her paintings. Published my first book of poems in 1995 'Poems and Reflections on Philippine Situation', followed a by a book of poems in Cebuano language, 'Journey to the Heart (Panaw ngadto sa Kasingkasing' and a book of short stories, 'Mugbong Sugilanon sa Kangitngit og Kahayag' (Short Stories on Light and Darkness'. in 2014 I had my second book of poems in English, 'Spirituality for Peace and Justice' published by Author House UK. The book contains 122 poems in 9 themes and with 33 photos of my own paintings as illustrative images. I have realized I have written many poems, stories and novels which I need to recover and finalize to be shared with others... May God grant me the strength and determination to fulfill my dream of making these writings available for others as inspiration.)
