The Girl with the Gift: Ten-year-old CDO writer publishes fantasy-adventure book
By Angelo Lorenzo
Ten-year-old writer Bettina Reika A. Namoco from Cagayan de Oro City released her debut book, The Girl with the Gift in December 2022.
The book, which Namoco wrote in a span of three months, follows the fantastical adventure of a teenager with magical abilities who goes on a quest to rescue lost children from an evil antagonist.
In January 2023, the book received recognition and critical acclaim from local readers and prominent writers.
Inspiration amidst the pandemic
“I read a lot of adventure books during the pandemic,” Namoco said, sharing her inspiration. “I also watched shows like Stranger Things.”
(Namoco signs copies of the book. As a homeschooler, Namoco takes every chance to learn new skills and uses her talents to produce creative projects.)As a student of the Catholic Filipino Academy Homeschool (CFAH), Namoco utilized most of her time by learning, applying what she learned from her studies, and putting her ideas into good use.
She pitched the concept to CFAH’s extracurricular group, The Book Writers’ Club (BWC) in August 2022. The group is composed of CFAH students who are passionate about reading. After receiving approval from the BWC editors, Namoco started writing the manuscript with the help of her mother.
They completed the final draft in November 2022 and submitted it to the editors.
“It is a story about family and friendship,” Namoco reflected, explaining how the book is relatable to children her age and how it can inspire them to appreciate the value found in family and friends.
Namoco’s gifts
“Bettina is enjoying every learning opportunity,” Rhoda Namoco, the author’s mother, said. “Being homeschooled, she mostly spends her time at home.”
(Ten-year-old writer Bettina Reika A. Namoco publishes her first book, a rare but special achievement for children her age.)
“During her free time,” she added, “Bettina continues to learn to play the violin. She bakes new recipes she finds online, makes her own tea, and conducts science experiments.”
While completing a book is a major milestone and accomplishment for children her age, Namoco’s creativity expands to other crafts.
(A month after its release, The Girl with the Gift reached critical acclaim from prominent writers and popularity among local readers.)According to her mother, Namoco is also fond of drawing and painting.
“If it makes you happy, then just do it!” Namoco said.
Commendations and future collaboration
Namoco is planning to collaborate with her best friend as the illustrator for the book’s potential sequel, which they estimate to be launched before the year ends.
(The Girl with the Gift follows the quest of a teenager who possesses powers to rescue missing children.)As readers are waiting for the second book, the current literary work has received critical acclaim from renowned writers.
CFAH founder Bo Sanchez, who is also a best-selling author of Christian-themed books, encouraged Namoco in a blurb found on the book’s back-end cover: “Continue to write more awesome stories and use the talent that God has given you.”
Meanwhile, CDO-based writer and Palanca Award recipient Ma. Elena Paula praised the juvenile writer for her style: “The merging of fantasy and reality, the use of words in a book within a book is a stellar exercise of the imagination and writing skills of this young author.”
With the support of her parents and CFAH, Namoco continues to develop her talents and discover new skills with her creative hobbies.
“Allow them to explore the world with guidance,” Namoco’s mother said in her advice to parents who are raising creative children.
Readers can purchase copies of The Girl with the Gift online.

There are beautifully designed bridal gowns and barongs - traditional or reinvented for modern brides and grooms – and marked by the elegant craftsmanship of our local designers and
artisans. All of these can also be worn by entourage, sponsors, and guests.
Brides-to-be will love Kultura’s exquisite Filipiniana embroidered, beaded, or hand painted ensembles. There are exquisite gowns that will make walking down the aisle breathtaking when worn with delicate veils from the store. For the modern bride, there are pieces like terno sleeved tops that can be mixed and matched with silk pants and long skirts.
Grooms can choose from Kultura’s selection of elegant barongs in Piña Silk, Silk Cocoon, Cotton Silk, Organdy, and Jusi materials with intricate embroidery details.
Favors, tablescape dining accessories, entourage gifts, and decors are also available making Kultura a one-stop shop for your Filipino-themed wedding.

BE SEEN BE HEARD WITH THE BODY SHOP AND THE UN
The Body Shop and the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth launch global collaboration calling for more young voices in the halls of power their joint the Be Seen Be Heard campaign.
That’s because millions of young people are missing from public life. With the climate crisis, global conflict and generational inequalities running rampant, the inputs, perspectives and representation of youth are needed more than ever.
Almost half the world's population is under 30. Yet, they make up only 2.6% of parliamentarians around the world. The average age of a world leader is currently 62. Of all the parliaments in the world, 37% do not have a single Member of Parliament (MP) under age 30 and less than 1% of these young MPs are women.
Young people have the right to be included in political decisions that affect them, however, numerous barriers prevent their participation. The Body Shop and the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth are collaborating to change this through the global Be Seen Be Heard campaign to amplify youth voices in public life.
The campaign seeks to create long-term structural changes to decision-making to be more inclusive of young people. It was launched last May 11 with the release of a joint report, ‘Be Seen Be Heard: Understanding young people’s political participation’. The report which includes findings from the largest-ever survey carried out by The Body Shop in December 2021, covering 26 countries with 27,043 respondents in total, over half of which were under age 30.
The research found that 82% of people surveyed agree that political systems need drastic reform to be fit for the future. Across the board, 84% of people described politicians as ‘self-interested’ and 75% of people surveyed think politicians are corrupt.
The majority, two in three people, also agree that the age balance in politics is wrong, with 8 in 10 people of all ages believing the ideal voting age (the age when someone can first vote) is 16 to 18, despite that in most countries around the world the voting age is 18 or over. A third of those under age 30 surveyed would consider running for office versus only a fifth of those over age 30. People across all age groups agree that more opportunities for younger people to have a say in policy development and/or change would make political systems better.
David Boynton, CEO of The Body Shop says, “Our position is clear. The world’s problems cannot be solved by the same people making the same choices. Our research indicates the majority of young people are positive about the future, and we need to hear their views and ideas inside the halls of power. Be Seen Be Heard is rooted in creating a fairer world with and for young people, and together with the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth – we are on a mission to do exactly that.”
Jayathma Wickramanayake, the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth says, “The intergenerational gap in power, influence and trust constitutes one of the biggest challenges of our time. As young people have made abundantly clear through their activism on the streets, in civil society and on social media, they care deeply about the transformational change needed to create more equal, just and sustainable societies. Participation is a right, and this campaign is an opportunity to change that.”
The Body Shop and the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth push for transformational change. Among other actions, young people’s participation in public decision-making could be improved long-term by lowering voting ages, increasing formal youth representation through youth councils, parliaments, or committees, removing barriers for young people to participate in public decision-making, simplifying registration for first-time voters, and improving young people’s leadership skills.
Campaigning in 2,600 stores, in over 75 countries, across six continents. The collaboration between The Body Shop and the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth will mean that young people and other stakeholders will be able to engage with the campaign through many routes. Local campaign activations will include partnerships with specific youth-led or youth-focused non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and/or opportunities to support through petitions and other activations.
The campaign launched globally in May 2022 and will run until mid-2025. Check out the campaign website for further information www.beseenbeheardcampaign.com
About The Body Shop
As a B Corp business, The Body Shop is committed to ambitious social and environmental targets. Earlier this year, it established a Youth Collective to help amplify youth voices within its own business. The Body Shop Youth Collective is formed of 10-12 people from inside and outside the business, all aged under 30. They will advise The Body Shop Executive Leadership Team with the views and voices of young people.
The Body Shop invests heavily in activism and has a dedicated activism team, focused on research and tactics, operating around the world. Long before activism was an industry buzzword, The Body Shop has pushed for change where other brands saw risks. It has mobilised its global collective and campaigned for over 20 years on issues such as the rights of indigenous peoples, animal rights, sex trafficking and the burning of the Amazon rainforest.
About the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth
In 2017, the UN Secretary-General appointed Jayathma Wickramanayake of Sri Lanka as his Special Envoy on Youth and as the youngest senior official in the history of the organization.
The Envoy on Youth’s mandate is to harmonize the UN system efforts on youth development, enhance the UN response to youth needs, advocate for the development needs and rights of young people, as well as to bring the work of the United Nations on youth closer to them.
