Plus/+, at Iba Plus, Maramihan: New Philippine Nonfiction on Sexual Orientations and Gender Identities (co-edited with Rolando B. Tolentino)
These are not mere confessions but witnessings of the truth of our own history and purpose, a defense of the individual truths of our disadvantage in this world. To rehearse this is to rehearse the necessary revolution or contrary imaginary of citizenship to heterosexuality and the state.
This anthology unites the voice of the LGBTQIA+ writer, our readers, our public, and the other pages of national literature and contrarian politics—it is an assertion to be different, with the solidarity of ranks, with unity and solidarity with other identities and aspects of citizenship that are oppressed, with the need to change society, history, and the modernity of experience.

Plus/+, at Iba Plus, Maramihan: New Philippine Fiction on Sexual Orientations and Gender Identities (co-edited with Rolando B. Tolentino)
In gathering short stories featuring the experience of LGBTQIA+ that present different identities and personal and power relationships, that describe the current society in its various manifestations in different parts of the country, and that continue to imagine a brighter future for all genders, we expect to give the reader—whether a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or not—a new perspective on his surroundings and the people he interacts with.
