Minsan may Isang Puta at iba pa
"Minsan may Isang Puta at iba pa" is a compilation of the most popular Filipino and English articles written by Ms. Mike Portes, alongside her compelling short novel : "Ang Bata sa Dilim". Aside from the the viral "Minsan may Isang Puta", there are chapters provided with references to assist students who have continued to use the more than a decade old allegory of the "prostitute" for Oral Interpretation presentations and Filipino, Political Science and Theater subjects. Included in the pages is the actual screenplay of the film adaptation of "Minsan may Isang Puta" by Director Sarah Roxas which is a film grant winner to the multi-narrative indie film "Ganap na Babae" (International title: Garden of Eve}. The movie was honored as Cinemalaya 2010's opening film and has won international and local recognition, including the Harvest of Honor (Ani ng Dangal) award conferred by the Philippine National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Office of the President.

About the author
Mike Portes
4 books11 followersI was a reluctant author when "Minsan may Isang Puta" was first printed in Writings 8 but, I eventually saw its purpose. From then on, I chose to submit my gift of writing to be an instrument of service.
My first sole authored book, "The Dove Files", endeavored to pay forward wherein the royalties from the sale of the initial 150 copies first went to a Project Malasakit scholar who graduated Cum Laude in April 2013 and to baby Mark who underwent a liver transplant in March 2013. The succeeding prints and Second Edition went to Divina, a deserving Mangyan scholar who despite having been laughed at and nicked as "Taong-bundok", prevailed and graduated from High School. Somehow, during her 2nd year as a college student at Mindoro State College of Agriculture and Technology, Divina decided to stop schooling.
The "The Dove Files" metamorphosed to a new collection of well selected and popular Filipino and English writings, which still includes the viral "Minsan may Isang Puta" and the winning screenplay of Director Sarah Roxas in a 2014 book: MINSAN MAY ISANG PUTA AT IBA PA. Royalties went to another Project Malasakit scholars of acclaimed journalist Kara David - a Typhoon Yolanda survivor who graduated cum laude from the University of the Philippines Visayas in June 2019 and passed the CPA licensure exam.
Each purchase, joyfully paid forward!
"Minsan may Isang Puta" is an allegory which has been circulating since 2004 and with over 40,000 likes and shares in social media alone. It was first printed on paperback in Writings 8 in 2011 and won a film grant in 2010 for Director Sarah Roxas to the indie film "Ganap na Babae" (International title: Garden of Eve). The movie was honored as Cinemalaya 2010's opening film and has won international and local recognition.
To God be the Glory!
