Misreading – n. an incorrect reading

(Mis)readings is a blog featuring observations on events and texts from the vantage point of an eccentric, optically inconvenienced, and culturally dispossessed resident from the Southern Philippines. It is in short nothing more than the conceit of the blog’s author raising its ugly head online to propagate unlettered opinions to an imaginary public audience.

Karlo Mikhail I. Mongaya was born on February 1987 in Cebu City, Philippines, where he grew up transferring from one apartment residence to another before spending a few years with his grandparents in Cotabato City, Maguindanao in the early 1990s.

He was student council chairman while studying management at the University of the Philippines Cebu College. He is presently studying literature at the UP Visayas College of Arts and Science.
