Ritchie Perez Manuel

Ritchie Manuel is a Filipino storyteller with a passion for weaving narratives through both words and music. His debut novel, Mandate of Silence, is a realistic and suspense-driven political thriller that explores the hidden struggles of power, family, and betrayal in the heart of a bustling city.

Ritchie is also the author of children’s books that nurture imagination and values, including Enchanted Red Box, A Fox’s Promise (available on Amazon), ABC’s of Pets, and Musical ABC. His writing across genres reflects his belief that stories — whether for adults or children — can shape minds, spark conversations, and connect hearts.

In addition to writing, Ritchie composes music. His indie/pop song “Sana Laging Ganyan Tayo” (available on YouTube via Mr. Tofuji) showcases his ability to capture emotions through melody and lyrics, complementing his storytelling on the page.

Blending political intrigue, children’s wonder, and musical expression, Ritchie continues to develop creative projects that inspire readers and listeners alike.
