Mina V. Esguerra @minavesguerra.com · 30/08/2026Romance, especially with Filipino characters, is always in a conversation with what our society is saying we deserve and should expect. Which side is our story choosing? KB's Q&A talking about her characters and second chances is up! 051
Mina V. Esguerra @minavesguerra.com · 30/08/2026There's a longer conversation to be had about what is limiting our imagination but I'll just say--skill issue. And that's why it's so fun to see a writer put the pieces of HEA together and why making the effort in a contemporary romance is worth it -- readers need to see this. 140
Mina V. Esguerra @minavesguerra.com · 30/08/2026is that people leave, and romance always steps aside when the "better life that isn't here" calls. Through the years I've seen Filipino writers try to fashion a story around this conflict and then give up, which tells me they don't see the HEA that's possible. 140

Mina V. Esguerra @minavesguerra.com · 16/08/2026Ok at least we're clear. It's not many young people reading, it's many young people buying (or required to buy and read it).
