CANVAS is pleased to announce that Issa Alarilla-Arellano has won CANVAS' 2010 Romeo Forbes Children's Story Writing Competition for her story, "Tahan Na, Tahanan."

Thank you to our judges, Rica Bolipata Santos and Carlos Celdran, and everyone who participated, and congratulations to Ms. Alarilla-Arellano and the rest of the finalists!
Watch out for the launching of the book, sometime in mid 2011!
