This is the saddest part of my life as a writer. I declined the contract for CLP. Yes. I did it. Kanina ako nagdesisyon, at ngayon ay napagdesisyunan ko nang hindi muna pirmahan ang kontrata. Graduating student ako, alam niyo naman iyan. At saka may goal ako this school year kaya want kong mag focus din. Wala akong time na magedit ng manus ko, kaya hindi na muna ako magpapasa. Wala naman kong nakitang mali sa kontrata nang mabasa ko, talagang alam kong hindi ko kayang gawin, kaya naman hindi na muna. Makakahintay naman iyan, sa Ukiyoto ko din muna siya ipapasa, pero matatagalan pa naman. Hindi ko alam baka bukas ko isend sa Ukiyoto ang manus ko for INBU, titignan ko muna.

Bukas hindi na pwedeng magpuyat kaya sinusulit ko ngayon. Bukas, aayusin ko ang isang activity na ipinagawa at nagkamali ako ng pag intindi, kaya naman need kong ulitin, madali lang naman, kaya keri na din, isa lang naman iyon. Maglilinis na din pala ako ng sapatos ko, at mag pa-plantsa na ako ng damit bukas. Tapos aayusin ko mga gamit na dadalhin ko by Monday, maaga kasi akong aalis sa Lunes dahil officer ako, kaya kailangan maaga ako at may meeting daw kami before the class starts, so I have to be there so early.

Anyways, wala naman akong pinagsisihan na hindi muna tanggapin ang kontrata. It's for my own good naman iyon, at alam kong may ibang magandang opportunity na naka abang sa INBU, kaya maghihintay ako at gagawa ako ng paraan.

August 1, 2022, I passed the manuscript for It's Never Been Us. September 1, 2022, they sent me an email telling that, I passed the submission. At magiging physical book na ang pinasa kong manuscript sa kanila. I even talked to the CEO of the said Publishing, she is so nice and she even wants us to call her ' Nanay' and she likes calling us ' Anak.' Yesterday, September 2, 2022, I received the confidential contract, and by tomorrow, I should return the signed contract to their email account so that we will continue the process of making my manuscript into a physical book. After reading the contract, I decided to not accept it and declined the contract instead. Maraming dahilan. The reasons are too confidential, at hindi na kailangan pang sabihin sa iba. Nag usap kami ng maayos ng CEO, at bukas, sasabihin ko na hindi ko muna tatanggapin ang kontrata at idi-decline ko muna ito. Wala akong nakitang hindi maganda sa laman ng kontrata, isa din sa dahilan kung bakit hindi ko tatanggapin ay marami akong ginagawa. Patapos palang ang pre-order ng 2nd book ko at palagay ko, hindi ko din kayang asikasuhin iyong 3rd book dahil nagfo-focus ako sa pag aaral dahil Graduating ako this SY. Thank you for the opportunity, CLP. But, I want to decline the contract this time. Masaya ako na natanggap ako sa Publishing House niyo at may pagkakataon akong makausap ang napakabait na CEO and staffs ng buong family ng CLP. I made my decision already, and this is for my own good as well. Maybe sometime, I will return the contract signed and I will work with you all in the future. Thank you for your warm welcome. Congratulations to all the qualifiers and to all who passed the last submission for CLP. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the opportunity, Chapters of Love Indie Publishing. Until next time.

Keep safe and stay healthy. Mwua!

Bye!
