Katherine Mae DECENA

Freelance writer and a graduate student. Writing and understanding human nature is my true passion. I am a physiotherapist who fled the medical world to explore, discover, and learn the art of persuasive writing.

Discovering Lannang made me realize that our relationship with the Chinese community is fundamental to the growth and preservation of the Filipino culture. The connection between the two cultures is tightly knitted that over the years we have become one body, and neglecting a part could be detrimental to the whole body. Furthermore, considering the contemporary events, advocating the Sino-Philippines relations through The Lannang Archives is pivotal to preserving the hospitable attributes of the Filipino culture. We have always been receptive and there is no better time to be more so than today.
