NOTABLE QUOTES FROM HER WORKS
“Halfway on the trip, fields of pineapple leaves perked sharp and green around the landscapes—all once were banana trees planted by DOLE Philippines Inc.. It could have been my rare visits that polished my instincts in making a precise distinction on how the air smelled like. I preferred the scent back then—a faint mix of pesticides and earthy smell of wet soil blended together, rather than the new combination of dry and polluted air. I can almost taste dust through my nose every time I go to the sitio.”
