"“Poetry is a way of returning to the silence of the soul, but also a way of resisting oblivion.”"

"“To write in Bikol is to insist that our language, our memory, and our identity matter.”"

"“The poet is both pilgrim and witness, carrying fragments of the sacred and the profane.”"

"“Translation is not betrayal; it is a bridge that allows us to inhabit another’s world while keeping our own.”"
