RJ is no stranger to writing. In fact, he has built a stellar career out of his unsheathed pen, acerbic wit, and endless stream of wacky ideas. He is a best-selling author, a columnist for The Philippine Star, and a former editor-in-chief of reputable publications such as Uno Magazine and Manual Magazine. At an early age, he discovered his love for writing, and it didn’t take long before he excelled in his craft.
In college, he was part of the university newspaper where he won awards in straights news writing in 1993 and 1994. As for creative writing, his skills were discovered by his mentor Dr. Isagani Cruz, who urged him to build on his natural talent by joining the DLSU Writers Workshop in 1993 and the Silliman National Writers Workshop in 1994. He also completed several units for a master’s degree in Creative Writing at DLSU in 1995. Furthermore, he became a Writing Fellow at the University of the Philippines National Writers Workshop in 2014.
