NEON MANILA @ninearchespress 2025
So excited to finally announce my debut collection, NEON MANILA, releasing with @ninearchespress in Oct 2025. Expect poems on pop music, coordinated outfits, pointless men, jewellery, and more in the chronicles of your good boy gone gay. See you on the sparklier side x
A debut by Bridport Prize shortlistee & Barbican Young Poets alumnus @troycabida, Neon Manila, is published October 2025 - exploring the queer Filipino body in all of its skin and glitter, looking at pop music, clothing, jewellery, dating mishaps & everyday London life.
30,000 innocent people. Activists, the poor, some our neighbors, some my friends. Nabbed, tortured, extrajudicially murdered. Tapos na ang maliligayang araw mo, Duterte. Dapat kang managot, dapat kang makulong.

History happening live in the Philippines. How the tables turn: former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte arrested by the police force he armed and enabled, his camp claiming they didn't see a warrant — not that that was afforded to the thousands of victims of his drug war

Duterte's drug war thrived on gender inequality. Driven by his hypermasculine populism, it left women to seek justice alone, broke, and vulnerable to gender-based abuse. An all-women chamber has just issued Duterte's arrest warrant. Today, Women's Month becomes more meaningful.
Not sorry for bursting your bubble, Kitty Duterte, but you know who else had no warrants of arrest? The tens of thousands of #EJK victims killed by your father’s regime. Ipokrita.
