Five Thomasians and their works were featured in the special edition of Leap+ magazine, published by the Asia-Pacific Writers and Translators, in time for their recently concluded international conference in Manila.
Assoc. Prof. John Jack G. Wigley, PhD’s “American Visa” is a creative nonfiction piece that recounts his harrowing experience in applying for a US visa at the American embassy, while Prof. Augusto Antonio Aguila, PhD’s “The Functional Value of the Plain Jane” is an essay that critiques the strong possibility of good looking men to prefer plain-looking women as their partners. Former Varsitarian staffers Carlomar Daoana and Brylle Tabora and their poems, “One Life,” “Self-Help,” and “A Country of Bees,” respectively, have also been featured in the edition. Finally, Allan Justo Pastrana’s poems, “A Colony” and “If to Measure the Brief Length of the Plane,” are also in the edition.
The magazine edition is produced with the support funding from UNESCO and showcases canonical and new literature from the Philippines like the works of Jose Rizal, Butch Dalisay, Alfred “Krip” Yuson, Jessica Hagedorn, Marne Kilates, and Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta, among others.
