A Triumphant Journey of Healing and Love: The Medicine That is Love’s successful Book Launch at the Philippine Book Festival 2025!
“The Best Medicine is Love”, a physician once said the best medicine for humans is love. Someone asked- what if it doesn’t work? Said with a smile–increase the dose”
– Jessie Mahoney MD
Love has always been one of the most powerful forces in the world, it is capable of healing wounds, connecting people, and inspiring change in one’s life. This profound truth is at the heart of a newly released novel titled ‘The Medicine That is Love’written by Gavielle Gerico Cruz. The novel ventures in our young protagonist named Kyle Castillo, who was both an achiever and a dreamer–an achiever in the walls of the academies, and a dreamer to hope to foster a budding romance with his first love, Isabelle Sanchez. Can he juggle the hardships of maintaining being an academic scholar whilst embedding his love–albeit youthful and full of naivety, into her heart?
His journey will navigate the tumultuous dynamics of personal growth, lifelong learning, and self-empowerment, the unconditional support of his family leads him to discover the true definition of strength: it is found not in perfection but in the ability to accept vulnerabilities, suffering, and change;
And as Kyle embarks on his journey to achieve success not only in his academics but as well as love and self-growth; the author of ‘The Medicine That is Love’, Gavielle Gerico Cruz, has found his success with his recent book launch being not just an event but a celebration of the author’s work about love and medicine, and it was met with an overwhelming success!
