The Ber months are here again! And I am so thrilled to share this wonderful news with you! One of my children’s books was nominated for the Filipino Readers’ Choice Awards 2022!

I’m so happy and honored!

I wasn’t expecting this blessing. I wasn’t even familiar with this award-giving body, to be honest with you. It’s the first time that my book was nominated in this award-giving body.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise as we begin the longest Christmas season in the world here in the Philippines.

I learned about this nomination through my illustrator, Abigail Gabriel.

In line with this, may I ask for your support, dear readers? May I ask you to vote for my children’s book?

Please, help my children’s book titled Maliit na ang Palda ni Isay advance to the finals and win?

The Top 3 books per category and batch will advance to the Finals. Then, from the Finalists, the winner will be chosen.

Advancing to the finals and winning would help people know more about my children’s book and my advocacy of donating copies of this book to public schools, public libraries, orphanages, and other poor communities. We had been doing this before the pandemic happened. You can read more details about my advocacy here. 

To vote for my book, please click this link.

You need to finish the survey for your vote to be counted. To finish it quickly, you may click SKIP in the other pages and categories and just proceed to the CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK, BATCH 1 page and choose #78. That is my children’s book Maliit na ang Palda ni Isay, which was published by Chikiting Books, a division of Vibal Publishing.

Voting is until September 23, this Friday, only. I hope you’d make time to vote before this date.

Thank you very much in advance! Your vote will be much appreciated.
