He seemed ordinary. Just another traveler wandering the streets of Paris. What I didn't know was that behind those gentle eyes was one of the most famous faces in the Philippines a rising actor running away from the spotlight, searching for peace in a city that didn't know his name.

Maybe, I was meant to find him, too.
Amidst The Stars
Vicente remembers the lights that shone within the city he was born in, and the darkness he and his family have been dragged through in his eighteen years of life. Having jumped from home to home the moment he was born, he prays, he hopes for a place he can settle down in, as bright and beautiful as his birthplace. This is the biography of a boy who cannot fit in, forced to take up the role of caretaker of his younger siblings, too good to be bad and too bad to be good - unremarkable, insignificant, malcontent with his malcontent. This is a telling of family, love, friendship, good food and home.Complete
