That's interesting! I will be facilitating a book chat on a book about Vance Igarta in a few weeks (Eileen Tabios, Balikbayan Artist). How did you get to have a portrait done by him? I also notice you mentioned the Baguio market. I'm from that city and the market is one of my fondest memories. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for reading the piece, Rachielle. I was assigned by Filipinas Magazine to write a feature about V. Igarta and I visited him several times after that, with my daughter in tow. He asked if he could paint us... I love the Baguio market. I haven't been back in decades, but I'd like to visit it again one day.

I found the Filipinas Magazine article! Great interview.
Oh, wow. Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
