#MultipleChoice delves into the lives of today's GenZ youth, exploring the challenges of adolescent sexuality, reproductive health, and the pursuit of personal dreams amidst societal pressures. Set in a rural Filipino town, the novel centers on Niňa, a bright and determined senior high school student from a low-income family. Orphaned by her father's passing, Niňa's resilience is tested as she juggles academics, family responsibilities, and the advances of Seojin, her charming yet troubled classmate from a wealthy family. Seojin is a complex character, caught between his affection for Niňa and the influence of his rebellious peers. His reckless decisions lead to a tumultuous relationship with Cheska, another student, resulting in an unplanned pregnancy and the devastating choice of illegal abortion. These events force Seojin to confront the consequences of his actions, creating a poignant commentary on the struggles faced by young people today. Hana, a passionate Korean volunteer from KOICA, brings a reproductive health program to the local school. Her mission to educate the youth on responsible decision-making is met with resistance from conservative community leaders, highlighting the cultural tensions between foreign assistance and traditional values. Arnold, a dedicated public school teacher, becomes her ally, advocating for the program despite backlash from local officials and his colleagues. As Niňa resists societal pressures and Seojin's advances, she chooses to prioritize her education and future over romantic distractions. By the novel's end, Seojin seeks redemption, regaining Niňa's trust, though only as friends. #MultipleChoice captures the emotional and moral complexities of adolescence, offering a thought-provoking narrative on love, identity, and the power of informed choices.

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.
