After his successful release of the book "Choosing to Live, Love, Learn and Laugh" published by OpinYon Media Advocacies, Waraynon author Bob Acebedo is up for not only one or two but many books in the offing.
"I am talking to people who want their biographies written," informed Bob (a native of Palo and Tacloban, Leyte) over a cup of coffee in Makati City last week.
"I didn't know there are people who were inspired when they read my book. I was surprised," said Bob Acebedo, a scion to the man who started optometry business in the country — the Acebedo Optical.
In the pipeline are interesting and intriguing topics on some controversies on priesthood.
Bob was a seminarian from the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Theological Seminary in the 1980s.
He wanted to be a priest, indeed, but the Lord has a different plan for him.
After graduation from UST, he taught Spanish at Leyte Colleges in Tacloban City where he met his wife, Marilou.
According to him, it was the first day of school at the LC and Malou was the first to arrive in the classroom.
"I told her if she could get me a piece of chalk. And she did. That was the start of my courtship with her. And as they say, the rest is history," he chuckled.
Bob has wit and humor, one of the appealing features of his book.
He is an articulate writer who can tackle diverse themes and discussions with adeptness and flair.
