Josue Mapagdalita

Josue Mapagdalita (b. 1996) is a Filipino writer. He is the author of “Mula sa Kilometer Zero” (“From the Kilometer Zero”), a collection of 40 Filipino flash fiction set in Metro Manila, Philippines. His second book, “Still Here”, a two-in-one book of journal and prose poetry for mental health, is set to be published in 2024.
