Nangarap akong mag sulat ng libro, pero hindi para sa sarili ko. Bakit nga ba kailangan pang mag sulat? Para saan?
Noong nasa training palang ako as a therapist, excited ako. Dahil for sure makakatulong ang work ko sa mga bata.
Excited ako sa Purpose, not just the work itself dahil siguro bata pa lang ako nag hahanap na ako ng purpose ng buhay. So I joined and led a lot of outreach programs, medical missions, and volunteer works, church missions, etc.
Kaya excited ako to work as a therapist.
Pero naluha ako after ng first exposure ko sa student ko. Lalo akong nag karoon ng maraming tanong about sa purpose ng buhay. And first hand experience, akala ko as therapist, mapapagaling namin ang mga batang may autism. Hindi pala. Gumuho ang excitement ko. Sobrang lungkot kong umuwi.
But I also learned that by doing my best, may nababago pa din akong buhay. Just do your best and never give up. Meron at meron kang matutulungan.
So tuwing nasa byahe, lagi kong iniisip kung ano pang pwedeng gawin to help my students. Ano pang strategies ang dapat masubukan. Isip lang ng isip. Gawa lang ng gawa. Balang araw, magbubunga din lahat ito.
At lumipas nga ang maraming taon, more than 18,000 families na ang natulungan namin sa SMLC. At hindi biro ang ganito kalaking responsibilidad. Kaya naisip ko, sana gamiting ako ni Lord to write a book.
And God answered my prayer. May bonus pa. It was just my dream before na mag Foreword si Bro. Bo Sanchez sa book na isinulat ko. Pero grabe si God. Dahil sino ba naman ako para gamitin nya? But He used Bro. Bo so that this book can reach more families.
This book is more than just pages, it is an advocacy.
Also more than just a book. It is a healing journal, for parents who carry the weight of uncertainty, for siblings who sometimes feel unseen, and for grandparents who quietly hope to give support in the best way they can.
It is a place to pause and reflect, to regain strength, and to remember that even in the hardest seasons, God has a purpose. His perspective reminds us that every struggle can be turned into growth, every tear into compassion, and every challenge into an opportunity to love more deeply.
Because when families are heard, healed, and supported, we do not just raise awareness, we change lives.
Going back to the question, bakit nga ba kailangan pang mag sulat? Because I believe we all have a choice: to just focus on being the best for ourselves, or to be strong so we can protect and help others.
I chose the latter path, because families living with autism need voices, need hope, and need reminders that they are not alone. This book is my way of standing with them. It is an advocacy and a healing journal, written with the prayer that in these pages, parents, siblings, and grandparents may find comfort, courage, and the strength to keep going.
P.S.
So friends, if you know a friend, a family, a teacher, or a caregiver walking the journey of autism, and sometimes you wonder how you can truly help, this book is a gift that speaks for you.
And here’s the best part: a big portion of the proceeds goes to FREE therapy for families in need, so every copy you buy becomes a seed of hope for another child.
