Amado Angelo "Sarge" Rodriguez Lacuesta [1](born April 11, 1970) is a renowned Filipino writer celebrated for his short stories, novels, and screenplays.

Other stories in the collection examine the blurring lines between fact and fiction, original and imitation, and the interplay of past, present, and future.

A short phrase early in the collection unexpectedly resurfaces, verbatim, on its last pages, or two different characters separated by several stories are “baptised” with the same surname.

[15] The collection brings together essays, explorations, and profiles that span Lacuesta's career, including his tenure as editor-at-large at Esquire Philippines.

A reviewer in Philippines Graphic compared his prose to that of Michael Chabon and Joseph Epstein, highlighting his skill in discussing diverse subjects such as family, travel, sex, and aging.

He told Lifestyle Inquirer[7]:A book of 10 short stories, for example, is really 10 separate discrete worlds, each with its own tone, temperament and momentum.

[23] The film received critical acclaim for its slow-burn narrative and meticulous visual composition, with one reviewer even drawing comparisons to European arthouse cinema.

[25] Meanwhile, PhilStar Life emphasized the psychological complexity of An Errand and its incisive commentary on class divides, drawing parallels to Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite (2019 film).

[26] An Errand premiered on August 5, 2024, as part of the Full Length Main Competition category at the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival.
