Arnold Subastil is a professional web developer by day and a storyteller by heart. He grew up in a small village in Parañaque, raised on bedtime stories from his Nanay-and soon found himself telling stories of his own, whether through whispered tales during class or on the pages of notebooks and blogs.

While his humor often takes the spotlight, Arnold carries a quiet but serious advocacy: hope. He believes stories have the power to bring light in dark places, joy in heavy moments, and a reminder that faith and love still matter in this world. His works often explore themes of belief, humanity, and the funny, fragile ways we cope with being alive.

Arnold has published a number of stories-some on Wattpad, others in print-and continues to share both inspirational and humorous takes on life through his writing.

Yes, that's his real name. In a world full of pen names, he believes in showing up fully, flaws and all. (Also, para kung may reklamo, madali siyang maipapatawag sa barangay.)

You can find his books on Amazon or reach out for signed copies. But more than anything, he hopes his stories give you something real-whether it's a laugh, a tear, or a little bit of courage.
