An Ode to Panels

Published by Anino Comics (2026) | ISBN 9786211200736

Years ago, I made a short comic to make sense of things, to channel my pain into something tangible, and to heal . . .by drawing one panel after another.

An Ode to Panels is a celebration of how panels—the little squares, rectangles, and whatnot—welcome our stories and teach us about life. They are small doorways that transport us to multiple worlds, and we are never quite the same after reading what’s in them.

Kit and her Mama Mining feed community cats in their home at Barangay Buwan, Zambales. The cats arrive one by one as if lining up for food at a cafeteria! All is well and good, until one of the cats experiences health issues, funds start depleting, and a surly old neighbor, Mr. Simpatico, moves in next door. Kit quickly learns it takes a whole village to care for cats, and it can only happen when she starts asking for help from her community.

I Wrote This To Remind You That…

Self-published (2020)

This is a short collection of writing spurts with simple illustrations. I wrote these when I was in college, when I was hurt, when I was a fresh graduate not knowing where to start with no calls or emails from the companies I applied in, when I got hired, when I was healing, when I was lost, when I spent a vacation in another country with my relatives, when I came back, when 2020 year came into view and unfolded as it had.

Though She is Weak

Self-published (2019)

Though we are weak, may this book remind you that He is strong. This book is really ultimately about God; therefore, it is mainly about love.

This book is a sum of all He taught me, as well as lessons I learned from people in my life in the past and present who shared very important lessons to me, too.
