I’m the writer “Enlightenment” Book 1 of The Bathala Series. I’m also the screenwriter of “And One” and “Family Years,” both coming-of-age musical drama feature film screenplays!

“And One” is based on true events in my life as a father, basketball coach and community member. We’re currently in a co-production deal with SNA Entertainment out of Los Angeles.

“Family Years” is based on my family’s generational stories in the United States and Philippines. This screenplay has been submitted to the 2026 Sundance Feature Film Development Track Program.

My novel “Enlightenment: Book 1 of The Bathala Series” debuted in 2019 and was named as a 2020 Next Generation Book Awards Finalist in the Paranormal category.

Enlightenment introduces readers to a world of vampires weaved in Filipinx mythology. It’s my hope readers are open to my alternate perspective on vampire lore.
