(Also appearing on Philippine Genre Stories)
Welcome to the 1st Tagalog Online Pocketbook (TOP) Writing Contest! The aim of this contest is simple: Create a one-shot short story based on the following music videos (MV).
* In My Heart
* First Kiss
* The Clear Blue Sky
* Memory of Beach
Bakit may ganito? Simple lang… para ganahan ang lahat na magsulat at magkaruon ng mas malalim na dahilan upang tangkilikin natin ang sarili nating kultura bilang isang Pilipino. At siyempre, para naman magkaruon ng kakaibang activity sa net tungkol sa pagsusulat, diba? (teka nga, back to my english speaking mode) ~foo
