THE PREVIEW

coming soon

As I write this, there are just bare three hours left from this Friday the 13th. I was hoping to make this post early this morning, but work prevented me from sitting at my desk for most of the day. So, here you go, although it's a bit delayed... our little way of celebrating this particular Friday.

Many thanks to all the people who contributed to EXHIBIT 13. It always surprises me how people interpret Alexandra; but me and Kajo were most specially surprised with the Nooninoo TRESE doll by Kitty and Bonsai. Once again, thank you all!

p.s. this weekend, TRESE: MURDER ON BALETE DRIVE will be made available at the TOYCON. Kajo will be there to sign and doodle on your copies. I will try my best to escape work and see you there as well.

I saw a copy at Dagupan NBS and I’ve browsed the web several times for it.

I’ve read Trese #7 online, I’ve read the Inquirer reviews, and I found out that the book keeps on getting a lot of positive feedbacks.

I’ve made up my mind. I’m buying a copy next pay day.

Hi Leviuqse,

Wow! You really want a TRESE doll?
Wonderful! (It was just made by my friends here at the office. So, it's one of a kind for the moment.)

You can contact Kitty and Bonsai at:

Thanks!

Hey, Budjette. I just picked up Trese last Saturday. I'll tell you what I think when I finish dissecting the whole thing. Heheh..

I'm thinking about posting a review or something, too but would you still need one? You'd have tons of praises for this work already! Hahah..

Anyways, loved the eerie feel of your book.

hi budjette,

sana you can sign my trese too... if you'll drop by in Bacolod, let me know. heheheh... it's quite frustrating if you're in the provinces and you can't do anything unlike you guys who are just around the metro.

anyways, great series.... i hope Trese will go out of Manila and investigate cases in provincial cities too... like car accidents along Baguio's Lloacan road, Siyokoy in Boracay, Cursed backpackers in Siquijor, Revenge in the canefields of Negros, or even in institutions like hospitals (i remember the time when i rotated at the Mental Hospital and our call room was where the burnt out cell was- the same cell where the locked patients burned to death after the one in-charge lost the key in the ensuing panic)...

cheers!

Budjette Tan 2023 update

Hi all! If you have somehow stumbled upon this old blog looking for something TRESE related, then you've come to right place.   Well... kind of.   Hi! I'm Budjette Tan, the writer of the comic book TRESE, which I co-created with Kajo Baldisimo.  You can get updates about the book over at https://www.facebook.com/TreseComics   I sometimes talk about the other things I'm writing about at https://www.facebook.com/BudjetteTanStories   And I'm also on Instagram, where I post about what I'm reading, eating, and of course about Trese https://www.instagram.com/budjette/   Over at Twitter, I'm just RT-ing and posting about comics, movies, and whatever else pops up on my feed https://twitter.com/budjette  I'm also on TikTok, but I don't know what to do with that account, so there's nothing to see there. And here's a picture of me about to enter a balate tree... it's not the Great Balete Tree and it did not transport me to another realm. But it wa
PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living
