Cecilia grew up in the port city of Cebu in Central Philippines, a place that retains its Spanish-Colonial influences, inspiring Cecilia to create her mythical setting called “Ubec” which echoes the Santo Niño Church, triangular Spanish fort, and old buildings and streets of the real Cebu.
Her three novels — WHEN THE RAINBOW GODDESS WEPT (ISBN) 0472086375 & ISBN 9879715068420), MAGDALENA (ISBN 9715068014), and THE NEWSPAPER WIDOW (ISBN 9780715068116) are set (even partially) in Ubec.
Ubec also appears in her three short story collections — WOMAN WITH HORNS AND OTHER STORIES (ISBN 9711003236), ACAPULCO AT SUNSET AND OTHER STORIES (ISBN 9712704599), AND VIGAN AND OTHER STORIES (ISBN 9789712724435).
Responding to the needs of her Filipino and Filipino American communities, Cecilia edited fiction and nonfiction collections, including FICTION BY FILIPINOS IN AMERICA, CONTEMPORARY FICTION BY FILIPINOS IN AM
