Crafting Kaibig-ibig Characters | Eljay Castro Deldoc | TEDxMHPNHS Youth

His talk will explore how playwrights/storytellers create characters that feel real and unforgettable—ones the audience can’t help but love. Delving into the power of empathy, this will show how stepping into someone else’s story can change how we see the world. In a time when artificial intelligence is reshaping human connection, this will remind us why understanding each other is more essential than ever. Eljay Castro Deldoc is a graduate of the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program at the De La Salle University-Manila and a 3-time first prize winner of the Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards.He is the recipient of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts’ Writers Prize for Dula sa Wikang Filipino in 2021 and his first book of plays is a finalist of the 2022 National Book Awards and the 2024 Best First Book Award. Some of his plays were staged in California, Canada, Chicago, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
