Davao Summer Writers Workshop 2010

The Davao Summer Writers Workshop 2010 is now accepting applications.

What a semester!

The semester is over, and I can say that this semester is by far the most productive semester that I've ever had. Not that I was slumbering the previous semesters or, as the Bisaya would put it, nagpadako ra ko'g itlog. It's just that this semester alone, I've done things I never did before:

DWG-NCCA Bisaya Fiction Contest Winners

The long wait is over. Out of the 21 who joined the first ever Davao Writers Guild-NCCA Bisaya Fiction Contest, the three winners are:

1st Prize Winner: Ug Mingiob ang Kalibotan by Raul Moldez
2nd Prize Winner: Kadula by Brian Ang
3rd Prize Winner: Mga Dalan sa Downtown by Javin Jet Tevar

(I cannot say they're the three lucky winners because it wasn't by sheer luck that they won.)

Meanwhile, the awarding ceremony is tentatively at Bagobo House Hotel, Gov. Duterte St., October 17, 5:00 PM (tentatively).

Congratulations to the winners---and to the non-winners as well.

Yes, I am one of the 21 contestants. The bad news is, I am one of the non-winners. But the good news is, I am one of the non-winners.
