Field notes
The edition is dated October 31, 2026, and its articles are credited to named bylines such as Isagani Mercader and Jomar Pacis. A recurring dispute over whether sounds count as “grooves” links residents, a registrar and municipal jurisdiction. Other stories give the invented place ordinary civic texture: ferry rules, a reopened cinema, a final university lecture and families arranging All Saints’ grave care.
