Trip to Quiapo Manual by: Ricky Lee

It is a manual book that shows steps used on how to write scripts. In this book Ricky Lee tells his perspective of the scriptwriters present today. He tells it in a for of a story, he says that every scriptwriter is unique and different but only has one destination. In his story, he says that the three people has only one destination at mind which is Quiapo. The first writer studied what road he would take. He took the road which other writers has taken and he was able to arrive to Quiapo. The second writer chose a different road. He went to a journey where he went through different rivers, mountains, forests. He is better than the first writer because he was able to go to his destination in a new and unique way rather than the first writer who just followed other writers. Many followed the way of the second writer but, this third writer did not. He is the best among the three. Even if he did not follow any rules, he also was able to cross rivers, mountains but also markets and the church. along his journey, he got lost but he was able to reach a place which he thinks is Quiapo but it’s not. He was able to fool us and make us believe that he was able to go and reach Quiapo.
