Liwayway Sanchez

Born in Manila, Liwayway Sanchez worked for over a decade as an investigative journalist. Her deep-dive reporting on the Marcos and Aquino political dynasties established her reputation for rigorous archival research and determined interviewing. This background in political reporting naturally transitioned into writing book-length biography.

Her debut biography, The Girl From the Garage, explores the complex personal histories behind public figures. Sanchez focuses on domestic archives, oral histories, and letters to reconstruct her subjects' lives with clarity and historical accuracy, avoiding sensationalism in favor of grounded human portraits.

She lives in Quezon City, where she works as a freelance editor and spends her weekends documenting local neighborhood oral histories.
