BIO: He supposedly grew up in a haunted house and was told to sleep early because there were aswang outside their bedroom window. Who would’ve known that these stories would later influence and inspire him to write the comic book TRESE, co-created with artist Kajo Baldisimo.
Their comic book is a three time winner of Best Graphic Literature of the Year in the Philippine National Book Awards. (2009, 2011, 2012).
He is also the writer and co-creator of “THE DARK COLONY Book 1: Mikey Recio and the Secret of the Demon Dungeon”, which also won the same award in 2013.
Budjette was a co-editor for Alamat Comics, The Lost Journal of Alejandro Pardo: Creatures and Beasts of Philippine Folklore, The Black Bestiary: An Alejandro Pardo Compendium, and the upcoming SOUND: A Comic Book Anthology, which features stories from Southeast-Asia (co-edited with Charis Locke, published by Difference Engine).
He now lives in Denmark with his wife and son; where he works as one of the Creative Lead in the LEGO Agency.
By the way, his name is pronounced “budget”, but please don’t ask him any questions about finance.
