Batangas Stories

Burned out by the suffocating corporate grind of Manila, Kiane retreats to the quiet town of Cuenca, Batangas, seeking a sanctuary to rebuild her life. Instead, she finds Juan-a reserved cattle farmhand and seasonal mountain guide who holds the secrets of Mount Maculot in his calloused hands. Over shared cups of strong kapeng barako and quiet trails, their lives intertwine in ways neither expected. But Kiane's time in the province is ticking away, and Juan is bound to the land by ties he cannot break. Can a love born between the mountain and the lake survive when their paths are pulled in opposite directions?

Nang makahanap si Soren Alcaide ng isang manuscript na pinamagatang LAST DRAFT, hindi niya inakala na ang simpleng pagbabasa nito ay magdadala sa kanya sa isang mundong ang realidad at kathang-isip ay unti-unting nagkakahalo.

This is a quatrained free verse poem that I wrote in 2018.

At the Road's Cruel End (A.R.C.E.) Genre: Horror | Folklore | Supernatural Thriller What was meant to be a joyful beach trip turns into a nightmare when two families find themselves stranded in a remote forest near Batangas after a mysterious roadside accident. With no signal, no help in sight, and nightfall closing in, they're forced to accept the hospitality of seemingly kind strangers in a secluded rural village. But the town holds terrifying secrets-rooted in deep Visayan folklore and ancient blood rituals. As the full moon rises, dark forces awaken. Children vanish. Animals are slaughtered. And old houses begin to whisper with the voices of the dead. At the heart of the horror is Nanay Daria-an ancient aswang matriarch whose appetite for flesh is only matched by her hold over the town. Only a few will survive the night. Some will change forever. And none will ever forget what waited for them... At the Road's Cruel End.
