TJ Dimacali
Timothy James M. Dimacali, (born April 17, 1980) better known as TJ Dimacali, is a Filipino writer who has received recognition both as a science journalist and as a creative writer specializing in science fiction.〔 He is also a lecturer, science education advocate, and a violinist.
As a journalist, Dimacali serves as Science and Technology Editor for GMA News and Public Affairs’s online portal GMA News Online, a role that has won him wide recognition for increasing the prominence of science news coverage,〔 and which earned him recognition from the Philippines' Department of Science and Technology, which named him one of the awardees of the Gawad Scriba Award for Science Communicators in 2013.
In Philippine popular culture, however, Dimacali is better known as one of the Philippines' rising〔 Science Fiction writers, receiving critical acclaim and popular attention within the genre, alongside more established luminaries such as Dean Francis Alfar, Carljoe Javier, and Karl de Mesa.〔
His earliest published work, "Sky Gypsies", which imagined the place of the Badjao indigenous people in a space age context, has been critically recognized as being among Best of Philippine Speculative Fiction 2005-2010,〔http://www.philstar.com/supreme/2013/03/02/914663/best-philippine-speculative-fiction-out-now〕〔http://www.rappler.com/life-and-style/books/35063-philippine-speculative-fiction-books-launch〕 and has been required for student reading in a number of Philippine high schools and colleges. It has since been also adapted into a comic book of the same title.
His work regularly graces the pages of anthologies such as Kestrel Publishing's Philippine Speculative Fiction series and Paolo Chikiamco's Alternative Alamat, as well as magazines such as Philippine Graphic and Summit Media's Kwentillion.〔
Dimacali is also a performing musician, having played the violin with post rock band Biskochong Halimaw.,〔〔http://www.jfmo.org.ph/oldjfmo/articles_arts-and-culture/film_festivals/arts_and_culture_film_5th-intl-silent-film-festival.php〕 and having led Philippine ethnic/world music group Bandang Malaya.〔http://www.pep.ph/guide/music/8782/powerhouse-of-pinoy-music-accompanies-5th-international-silent-film-festival-manila-from-august-26-28〕
== Early Life and Education ==
Dimacali credits his early interest in science fiction, mythology, and the violin to his grandfather, who introduced him to all three in one way or the other:〔
:"''My single fondest memory is of a little book of Philippine myths and fairy tales, written in the 1960′s, that I found in my grandfathcer’s house.''"
Dimacali's early fascination with mythology, however, was tempered by his urban upbringing:〔
:"''I felt like a stranger to our own indigenous cultures, in a manner of speaking: I’m a third-generation Manileño, born and raised in the urbanized capital.''"
He later added that writing on mythological themes was "''an interesting challenge, because I strongly wanted to be respectful of our collective culture (in general) and our indigenous cultures (in particular).''"〔
Instead, he got his dose of speculative fiction from classic Science Fiction authors. He cites Frank Herbert, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur Clarke as early influences.〔
Dimacali took up his High School studies at Don Bosco Technical Institute in Makati, graduating in 1997.
He then took up a degree in creative writing at the University of the Philippines Diliman (UP Diliman), focusing on science fiction.〔 His graduating thesis was a compilation of sci-fi short stories, which he notes "was such a niche thing back then", as opposed to now, when sci-fi is a little bit more "mainstream." 〔 He also got journalism experience writing for the Philippine Collegian. Dimacali graduated from UP in 2001.
