Functions: Poems is the masteral thesis of Wina Puangco-Mutuc while studying Creative Writing at De La Salle University. In this book, she refers to specific tropes in Filipino romance cinema, and dissects them for further deconstruction, taking away the fantasy, and letting it sit closer to reality — breaking the ‘formula’ that’s always haunted love stories. 

Her work has appeared in other publications such as Driftwood Press, Plural Online Prose Journal, TAYO Literary Magazine, the Southern Pacific Review, and Cordite Poetry Review, among many others. She was also a finalist for the 2015 Sozopol Fiction Fellowship and recipient of the 2019 Poetry in English Mini Grant from the Bienvenido N. Santos Creative Writing Center.
