i was supposed to write about my love for children's books and how i want to write and illustrate my own someday when it led me to tito dok as we fondly call him or Dr. Luis Gatmaitan to his patients. he is a doctor who has written a lot of award winning books for children and luckily, i was able to work with him when i was doing my OJT in CCP in a workshop for kids called Batang Sining. Aside from tito dok, i also worked with the Literary Arts Division team of tita Ester Eban and tito Hermie Beltaran. anyway, i was looking for more info about batang sining when i found this site with our pictures on it. i spent almost a week being with kids reading poems, stories, making artworks, working together for the puppet show, and of course, tantrums and catfights included. it was the best part of my OJT and will never ever be forgotten.
as for myself, i will continue to be inspired by tito dok (for children's lit) and beth parrocha-doctolero (for the illustrations)
i miss my batang sining family!
