That's International, Baby!
Thanks to dean's update (see post), I found out that [identity-protected] has been given an honorable mention citation in the 2008 Year's Best in Fantasy and Horror, the annual anthology by Ellen Datlow, Kelly Link and Gavin Grant. This is for her story, "The Ascension of Our Lady Boy" which was first published in Philippine Speculative Fiction Vol III (2007).
For those not in the know locally, recognition in the Year's Best can be likened to the Palanca except that this is for Speculative Fiction and this is international in scope.
Woot! Am so proud of her. *grins like mad*

Congratulations also to the rest of the Filipino writers who made it. Now that's what I call making our mark on the international stage. Haha!

congrats! why'd you find it out from dean though? isn't she given advanced notification?
Hehe nup. Dean was checking out the listings to see how PSF did for that year. Eight stories from Filipinos in that citation. Not bad from a small Southeast Asian country, eh?
