2. Introduction
Since I started writing haiku some years ago, I have been hooked to it.
Lately. I wrote haiga with pictures of Filipino women. I want to believe that I started this art in the Philippines.
Outside of the Philippines, the haiga published in the internet focus mostly on non-human beings,
particularly flowers, snows, rivers, etc.
The models in this collection are all Filipino women.
Many of them live in the Philippines. Others, though Filipino, stay abroad like in Japan, Canada, and in the USA.
3. Acknowledgment

and those who financially helped in the publication of this work.
I wish to acknowledge the help of my wife, Pilma Dollolasa-Cichon for being supportive in my creative endeavors;
to all the sponsors most especially to Mila dela Rosa, Perla Yumol-Hoffman, Grace Saldajeno, Fremma Esquejo,
