Congrats!
How’s this for inspiring? For the third year in a row, a Filipino author has been part of the Man Asian Literary Prize shortlist.
Eric Gamalinda’s The Descartes Highlands (excerpt here) also starts out promising and is likely the kind of book I actually will buy. Looking forward to it, and I wish him winner vibes.

That's so great. We should have a Pinoy shortlister every year. And win, once in a while.

He didn't win pala, but that's OK. Two years in a row would be too much. 🙂
