I’m back with a cool update—I’m going to be part of a Writing Celebrity/Showbiz Romance panel at the next stop of Kilig Cafe’s Tambay Tour! <3

The Kilig Cafe Tambay Tour is a mix between a casual writing/reading hangout and an intimate discussion with authors and other special guest speakers. We kicked off this fun new project last June 6 at Hygge Book Apothecary, a Pride Month edition with authors Brigitte Bautista and Chi Yu Rodriguez. We also invited our live readers Migs Almendras, Teetin Villanueva, and Hessa Palma to do a mini live reading of excerpts from Brij’s and Chi’s books.

On July 4, I will be one of the panelists together with fellow #RomanceClass author Danice Mae P. Sison and industry friends Celeste Lumasac-Santiago and Katherine Visconti.

Celeste Lumasac-Santiago is the program manager of “Magpakailanman,” the longest running and most awarded drama anthology on GMA and “Kamao,” the newest afternoon prime drama program on GMA.

Katherine Visconti is a professional writer with over a decade of experience. She began her career as a journalist in the Philippines, then went to Hollywood to write for popular U.S. television series, “Chicago P.D.” and “FBI.” She has also produced streaming shows across Southeast Asia, including the award-winning romantic series “K-Love” and “Secret Ingredient.” Katherine holds a bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University with a double major in Writing Seminars and East Asian Studies.

This Tambay Tour is happening at the 2nd floor of Communé Cafe in Poblacion, Makati, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. If you’d like to join us next week, please sign up for a slot here! The entrance fee is P500, inclusive of a drink, pastry, and a small gift. Walk-ins are also welcome, with an entrance fee of P600.

We hope to see you there!
