Cecilia Brainard's OUT OF CEBU Book Launch

My ninth book, OUT OF CEBU: ESSAYS AND PERSONAL PROSE, was launched at the Casino Espanol in Cebu City last Feb. 5, 2012. It was one of the best book launching I've had! Around 100 people were present; there was a reading of 6 excerpts from the book by some luminaries of Cebu: Louie Nacorda, Mayen Tan, Dodong Canete, Gavin Bagares, Fr. Jun Rebayla, and Pia Marie Mercado. The really great thing about the launch was that everybody had fun. Among the guests were Cebu's Mayor Mike Rama who graced the event. Toti Villalon, Jaime Picornell, Kiting Moro, Myra Gonzalez, Margot Osmena Larranaga, Joy Uy, Steve Aznar, Beth Reyes, Erma Cuizon, Gingging Dumdum, Jun Dumdum, Maribel Paraz, Ka Bino Guerrero, Terry Manguerra, Jojo and Tanya Manguerra, Christy Manguerra, Chinggay Utzurrum, Inday and Monina Blanco, Chona Bernad, and many more.
