The story was published in 2009 in the Philippines Free Press, and won the Grand Prize for fiction in the magazine’s 2010 Literary Awards.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Eliza’s fiction and poetry have appeared in various publications, locally and abroad. She has also received the Palanca award for her poetry.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It's not really here... and unfortunately there won't be (technically) a new audio story out this month. I'm not really in the habit of making excuses, but a sickness and some personal affairs, did make the aspect of audio production difficult. The challenge of story permissions and voice casting (hence the </span><a href="http://pakingganpilipinas.blogspot.com/2011/03/wanted-narrators.html"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">call for narrators</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">) didn't make the situation easier. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hopefully in the next weeks, I'll get some things sorted out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You know what does help? Moral support. If you help me spread the word </span><a href="http://pakingganpilipinas.blogspot.com/p/about.html"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">about this site and what it aims to do</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">, I'd be very happy. You don't know how much high site traffic cheers me up. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Which leads me to: there are people who volunteered to help in one way or the other, and I'm truly grateful for their contribution. So, big thanks to all our authors, narrators, Filcols (Hi, Bebang!), publishers, unofficial PR (Hi, Angelo Ancheta! Charles Tan! Tin Lao!), techie peeps (Hi, Jar! Osc!) ... and there's probably a lot more I've forgotten to include in this list (so I will make sure I thank them properly in a decent write-up). My heart goes out to all of you. Thank you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: x-small;">By the way, so far I've received narrator audition samples, and I'm quite pleased! If you're interested, the call is still open. Send in a audition recording. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All rightee. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Last year, we featured </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">an abridged version of <strong>Yvette Tan's THE BRIDGE</strong></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. In this pseudo-episode, I'm featuring the story again in its uncut glory, voiced wonderfully by author <strong>Nikki Alfar</strong>. (It did occur to me that I'm beginning to be too fond of Nikki, with this refeature coming after last month's </span><a href="http://pakingganpilipinas.blogspot.com/2011/03/episode-9-nikki-alfars-adrift-on-street.html"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">"Adrift on the Street Formerly Known as Buendia".</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> But she's a goddess, so, it's only normal.)</span><br />

<br />
<br />
1. Record a four minute narration of any short story in mp3/wav form. (Don't worry too much if the background is noisy.)<br />
<br />
2. Send to pakingganpilipinas@gmail.com. Do write: NARRATOR AUDITION in the subject.<br />
<br />
3. If you're versatile and you want to send in more than one kind of narration, go for it.<br />
<br />
4. Do let me know where you're from (and this has something to do with recording logistics).<br />
<br />
I'm currently open to all kinds of voices, as the story calendar is still in progress, and a database of talent would make things easier. <br />
(However, the most urgent need is a male teen for a story I've wanted to produce since last year.)<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks, and feel free to pass this note around!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you’re one of the country’s commuting public, it’s likely that you’ve been stranded at least once in your life, and almost always the cause of your troubles is brought about by some form of flooding that cannot, or would not, be explained by public works officials. </span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Author <strong>Nikki Alfar</strong> offers a bizarre tale on being stranded, in this month’s featured story “<strong>ADRIFT ON THE STREET FORMERLY KNOWN AS BUENDIA</strong>”, narrated by marketer <strong>Karen Vigo</strong>. It first appeared in the <em><strong>Philippines Free Press</strong></em> (2007), and then again in <strong><em>Bewildering Stories</em></strong>. The Bewildering Stories editors loved it so much that it became one of the recipients of the site’s most signal honor, the 2010 Mariner Award.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the year's first podcast, we're featuring "<em><strong>Keeping Time</strong></em>" by <strong>FH Batacan</strong>, with narration by fictionist <strong>Alex Osias</strong>. The story first appeared in the <em>Philippines Free Press </em>(2007), and then was reprinted in <em>Philippine Speculative Fiction Volume 3</em> (edited by Dean and Nikki Alfar; Kestrel), and the online e-book <a href="http://bestphilippinesf.com/"><em>2009 Best of Philippine Speculative Fiction</em></a> edited by Charles Tan. In 2008, “Keeping Time” won first prize in Free Press Literary Awards, short story category. The story will be translated into German, and soon printed in the German science fiction magazine, Nova. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2010 had been a great year. We've produced seven great stories, have featured nine voices, have reached out to a lot of new listeners to Filipino fiction podcasts. </span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Maybe this will be the year we'll feature stories in Filipino? Or celebrities doing narration? Or we get 500 million fans on facebook? Who knows? (Which reminds me, do LIKE our facebook page: Pakinggan Pilipinas. We'll be putting up the author's inspiration for the story.)</span></div>
