One of his recent pieces is a tribute to “The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask,” which comprises the game’s many characters and gameplay elements into a haunting diorama of the Nintendo classic.

On your 100th

Alex Eduque I write this on the 100th birthday of someone very special to me. My grand-aunt, Consuelo “Chito” Madrigal. Last year, I wrote a memoir of sorts as a tribute to her to celebrate this milestone which was published by the Ateneo de Naga University press. On the occasion of her one 100th birthday, we received the news that the book has been invited to be featured at Filipino American International Book Festival this coming October, to be hosted by the Philippine American Writers and Artists (PAWA) together with the San Francisco Library. Truly, even in heaven, she is making sure that her legacy is continued and that she is remembered. So today, I am sharing with you but snippets and tidbits from this memoir, in the hopes that you consider getting a copy for yourself as well to support the work of the Consuelo “Chito” Madrigal Foundation (CCMF) Bikol, whose work is extensively written about in the book as well.

The rise of robots

On May 1, we observed Labor Day, an annual holiday in most countries dedicated to championing workers’ rights. In the Philippines, Labor Day this year also marked the centennial of the word “robot” with the launch of the Filipino translation of Rossumovi Universal ni Roboti, better known by its acronym R.U.R., by Czech playwright Karel Čapek. The translation was a project of the Czech Embassy in Manila and the Ateneo de Naga University Press. The three-act play premiered at the Czech National Theater in Prague on Jan. 25, 1921. Within two years, it made its way to London and New York. On television, it holds the honor as the oldest sci-fi program to have been broadcast, debuting 83 years ago on BBC. R.U.R. has been translated and performed in more than 30 countries.
