When the idea of a Chabacano Corner in late quarter 2024 was first proposed, we spend days conceptualizing what will be the wall design and shelves with the letter that also took several behind the scenes story before finally getting approved and signed but we only had one book. But I cannot agree that the beautiful corner idea of the president will exist with just a single title. So even while I was newly recovering from a major operation, I worked from my sickbed despite my family’s constant scolding and my co-teammate Camille I am determined to create Chabacano children’s books that would at least fill the Chabacano corner.
From writing to design, the process was far from easy, especially while my stitches were still painful and being lost at times of Chabacano words while writing the books, but natapos ko naman ng maayos.
The original plan was to produce one dozen books, but it soon became clear that this was not enough. Sabi ko mukhang di mapupuno ang shelves so I pushed myself further and completed two dozen. Although the Chabacano corner itself did not materialize and remained only a recurring plan up to now, these books found life and purpose - they were used, displayed, and sold during Día del Libro and other booth events joined by our president for Circle of Chabacano Dreams.
