Pamela LiraPamela LiraProject KARTAng-Isip is an act of imaginative cartography, mapping the possible futures of the Philippines through the lens of climate fiction. Borrowing from kathang-isip (fiction) and karta (map), this anthology of short stories envisions the archipelago’s future over the next 50 years, exploring the diverse realities of each region.
The first story, Of Steams & Storms, is set in the Philippines’ Eastern Visayas in the year 2075. The region comprising Leyte, Samar, and Biliran stands at the heart of typhoon landfalls with its landscape cut by the Leyte Fault; however, after decades of disaster, the long-whispered myths of Biringan now emerge as a renewable energy utopia. Through the eyes of Paula, a young Biringan intern, the story follows Eli, a seasoned stormsaver, as they navigate a megatyphoon in a journey to reunite with a long-lost love.
