Wrote about some of the most popular folklore creatures for @voguephilippines. So happy that there’s a growing interest in what used to be called “superstition.” We’re now understanding that these beliefs is one of the keys to who we are as a society.

If you’re a creative thinking about giving up because things feel impossible and time keeps passing without seeming like progress is being made, just remember Pedro Pascal didn’t become a household name until he was almost 50.
