The origin and evolution of the Moymoy Lulumboy story started when the author
was on a plane en route to Frankfurt in Germany for the biggest book fair in
the world. Growing in the province, the author became fascinated about the
tales and legends of such Filipino mythological creatures and characters about
duwende, aswang, kapre and manananggal. Listening to such stories was the
inspiration why Moymoy Lulumboy came into existence.

The magical journey of Moymoy Lulumboy was written by
three-time Don Palanca Awardee teleplay and screenplay writer Segundo Matias
Jr. (Loida: Taxi Driver, Alamat Ng Duhat and #PaperDolls). A student of MA in
Creative Writing in Filipino at the University of the Philippines in Diliman,
he is currently writing, " Batang Pusit, " an adult themed book about
HIV research, his masteral thesis.
The beautiful illustration of the places and characters came
to life because of the creative imagination of architect Jomike Tejido who has
illustrated over 100 books. Being a painter as well, he uses banig as his
canvas. Matias and Tejido collaboration made the book a must read for all ages.
