There was an article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer last Saturday on Bukal Sa Dibdib. No, you won't be able to read the scanned version I have posted here. Sorry. I just couldn't resist putting it on. It's still a thrill after all these years of writing. Of course, I'm extra proud of this material because of its breastfeeding advocacy.I'm even happier that I have been allowed to make Bukal Sa Dibdib available for free online. Please note that this has been commissioned by the Philippine Department of Health, the World Health Organization and the United Nations Fund for Population Activities. They have had the novel printed in pocketbook form and it is currently being distributed for free in Philippine communities. The latest I've heard is that a second printing is being done.
P.S.
Oops, a reader - Princess - just tipped me off about how clicking on the scanned article actually enlarges it enough to be read. Thanks for that info, Princess. I really am so very tech-challenged.

I am reading the pieces on your latest feats. And I feel so happy for you. Proud too, if I can claim you a new friend. :)
I will read (is it downloadable?) your romance novel on breast feeding (what a bullseye of a title) soon and share it with the mom of my apo. :) Is there a paper and ink version available? I prefer that, I think.
Congrats again.
Thank you very much, Annamanila!
I put the novel in www.maiajose.com as a long post. I guess you can either copy and paste it into a word document or just save the page as a web page on your computer.
The pocketbook version is being distributed by the DOH for free in health centers. I'm just not sure if it has already reached all health centers.

Congratulations. Cruising around blogosphere and stumbled upon you. I clicked on the scanned pic and was able to enlarge it on my screen. Good review, noble concern. Keep it up, Maia.
Wow, I didn't realize that the scanned article is actually enlarged when clicked on. Thanks so much for that heads up, Princess. I'm glad to have found your blog, too, and will be visiting :D

Last year, a student of mine also did a thesis of breastfeeding. She did a lot of research, down to the barangay health centers.
Congratulations on your new novel and we hope to read it soon.
