From: The Editorial Committee of the Philosophical Association of Philippine Christian University
This second anthology marks a different kind of gathering for the Philosophical Association of Philippine Christian University. Rather than a printed volume, we chose a space that could be entered and revisited freely.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all contributors who gave their time, words, and courage to this work. Their aliases are listed below. All have requested to keep their identities separate from the overall output. Should you, the Reader, ascertain which names belong to which people, then we could give you nothing but our praises and our amusement. To the writers who entrusted us with their words, and to the viewers who now carry them forward, thank you for making this space possible.

Oh, but who doesn't wish for love?
Who, indeed? Such is the title of the anthology the officers had agreed upon. But the love portrayed here is not always kind, nor is it always even desirable. If anything, much of the pieces are jagged in emotion. Some opted to bare painful sentiments while others looked into the perverse. And there goes the grand questions! What exactly defines love? Who names it? Could we know it for true? Does the ugly, blackened heart beat any less than the one with the perfect red face?
