A major factor was the "almost systematic" efforts of bookers that made it difficult for Cebuano producers to exhibit their films in theaters controlled by Tagalog producers and Hollywood studios.

In fact, he writes equally well in Tagalog, having written the Tagalog translations of two Cebuano anthologies: "Panulaang Cebuano" (1993) and "Dulaang Cebuano" (1997), both published by Ateneo Press.
