Precious Pages Celebrates the Life and Legacy of the Romance Diva Martha Cecilia
Last October 28, more than a hundred people
gathered to celebrate “Martha Cecilia Day” with The Eirycats, the romance
diva’s group of loyal fans-turned-friends. That special day was the 25th
anniversary of Martha Cecilia as a romance writer. Precious Pages Corporation,
publisher of Precious Hearts Romances decided to launch her last novel: The Farmer and the Heiress, written in
2014 and completed by her daughters Nina Martinne and Tsina Cajayon. The event
was held at The Space at the 4th floor of JRich Corporate Center in
Sto. Domingo Avenue, Quezon City.
The Farmer and the Heiress is about Elleana Syquia, a young, beautiful, rich girl, who was born and
raised in London. Her parents own the biggest sugar cane and corn plantation in
the Ilocos region. Her grand life soon takes a turn when her mother dies. She
has to leave London to manage their hacienda. There she meets Felipe, the
vilest man she has ever met. But this
arrogant man is also temptingly handsome. Felipe is a farmer…
“Natapos ko ang book na maraming pagtigil,
may mysterious part, nakakaiyak, nakaka-in love,” says Malou Galviso, in one of
her posts on Facebook about the book. “Done reading… ang ganda super ganda… na
miss ko yung mga gawa ni MC. Ung malalim na Tagalog iba tlga tatak
Martha Cecilia… Nakakalungkot lng na ito na ung huling gawa ni MC but still nag
iisang Martha Cecilia yan at kahit kailan di malalaos at kahit kailan di
makakalimutan ang mga akda nya. imiss MC truly. Salamat sa pagkakataon na
makapunta at maka-attend sa #MCDAY #ParaSiempre…
” says Abegail Azuela after reading the book.
MC Day’s theme was coachella. Guests came in
their summer shorts or Bohemian-inspired outfits. The event started on time with
special gifts given to early birds: special discounts given to the first 25 who
regisrered, and loot bags to the first 100 who arrived. The program included
video clips, games, raffle, interview and book signing with Nina Martinne, and
the most-awaited part—the book cover reveal. Even the closest of fans and
friends of the romance diva had not seen the book before its unveiling.
Overall, the MC Day brought a lot of
memories; it was also a very happy day for Martha Cecilia’s readers and
friends. Every one was looking forward to next year’s celebration. The
Farmer and the Heiress is now available at all branches of Precious Pages
Store, National Book Store, Precious Shop online store and other bookstores.
