Manila, Philippines — On December 13, 2025, Linya-Linya, in partnership with St. Pauls Philippines, will launch Banat ng (Sumusubok Talagang Maging) Banal, a new book by Romar “The Catholic Comedian” Chuca.
The event will take place at Linya-Linya HQ, SF Magnitude Building, Libis, with the gates opening at 9:30 AM. This special book launch will celebrate Chuca’s signature blend of humor, faith, and reflections on everyday spirituality.
Romar Chuca, a licensed professional teacher and author, brings his signature blend of wit and wisdom to this latest work. Known for his relatable and comical approach to faith through his social media platforms, Chuca’s book is more than just a collection of funny anecdotes. In Banat ng (Sumusubok Talagang Maging) Banal, he explores the concept of holiness in the most unexpected of places — our daily lives.
Drawing from his personal experiences as a choir member and missionary in Bukidnon, Chuca reminds readers that striving for holiness doesn’t mean being perfect — it’s about the genuine effort. His candid reflections are filled with humor, stories, and poems that connect on a deeply human level, making spirituality accessible and engaging.
“Hindi kailangan maging perpekto para maging banal,” Chuca shares in the book. “Kailangan lang sumubok.” (You don’t need to be perfect to be holy. You just need to try.)
This book launch marks a milestone for Linya-Linya, as it marks their first-ever physical book collaboration with St. Pauls Philippines. The partnership brings together Linya-Linya’s artistic and creative flair with St. Pauls’ rich publishing history, creating a beautifully honest and uplifting read. The collaboration is a fusion of playful art direction and heartfelt storytelling, designed to offer readers a moment of solace, humor, and inspiration.
At its core, Banat ng (Sumusubok Talagang Maging) Banal is about embracing the struggles and joys of faith with humor and sincerity. In a world that often feels divided, Chuca’s book serves as a reminder that spirituality isn’t confined to grand gestures — it can be found in everyday moments, even in the midst of laughter and lightness.
For those who seek a little light in their day, a moment of prayer or reflection, or just a reason to smile, this book offers just that.
As Chuca himself puts it, this book is for the “moments when you need a little hope, a laugh, and a prayer” — perfect for anyone looking for a simple yet meaningful read.
The book launch is a significant moment for Linya-Linya, a brand that has captured the hearts of many with its witty and relatable content. This collaboration with St. Pauls Philippines marks an exciting new chapter, as they bring their unique creativity and voice to the world of publishing.
Linya-Linya’s creative direction in the book’s design and St. Pauls’ years of experience in faith-based publishing combine seamlessly to bring a unique perspective to readers, offering them not just a book, but an experience to treasure.
Banat ng (Sumusubok Talagang Maging) Banal isn’t just a book launch — it’s a celebration of faith, humor, and the joy of being human. (with reports from Loyd Pino)
