Dominique Cimafranca, author of "Twilight Of The Magi" from the PGS Holiday Issue, blogs about Dagmay, the literary journal of the Davao Writers Guild:
"Dagmay is the literary journal of the Davao Writers Guild. In its third and present incarnation, it comes out as a special one-page insert of the Sunday Sun.Star Davao. The web site is an archive of the works published since August 2007 (some months still missing while we're finishing up, but soon!) So far, there are 52 pieces already posted."
Celestine Trinidad, author of "Beneath The Acacia" from PGS2, emailed me to say that she has a story, "Alternate Futures", on the webzine India And The Conundrum. She writes:
"I just wanted to shamelessly plug, er, I mean, tell you that the webzine India and the Conundrum was re-launched yesterday as a double issue, and I have a story there, entitled, "Alternate Futures". :) Basically, India and the Conundrum is a webzine for serialized original fiction, with serials ranging from wuxia to modern fantasy to magic realism, and chapters for the stories will be released every six weeks. My serial actually falls into the category of light teen fantasy, so it's more YA than anything. The webzine is still looking for contributions from other authors and illustrators, and it's open to serial fiction of all genres and ratings."
Celestine provides more details here on her blog.
Dean Francis Alfar, author of "The Middle Prince" from PGS1 and "In The Dim Plane" from PGS4, writes that his 1991 Palanca winning play, "Short Time", has been made into a film. Read about it here and here. A quote:
"The actors peformed very well, and for the first time in a long time, I felt bad for Danny at the end. This got me to thinking about the difference between theater and film. Staged, the play is supposed to feel more "real". But Direk Rico's treatment, complete with Chekovian pause and extreme close up, affected me more. I don't know if this is because I watch more films now than plays..."

Thanks for the plug on Dagmay, Ken. Still working to get the full archive up, but the latest issues are already current. Dagmay is small, size-wise (that's what Dagmay means) but it's significant in promoting multilingual literature. I think that's where Mindanao's place in the milieu is.
You're welcome, Dom. Good luck with the site!
Thank you again for the plug, Kenneth! :) I hope other PGS writers (and readers) could write for the webzine too, hehe.
Off-topic: will PGS4 also be available on LBC? :)
@celestine: You're welcome.
I'll check with LBC. Perhaps in a week or so it'll be available with them. Thanks!
