Coming from the success of the first two seasons of its “Write to Ignite”, COMCO Mundo League of Enterprises proudly announces its much-awaited third season this 2023.
COMCO Mundo League of Enterprises is bringing back its Write to Ignite for its third season with the theme “UNMASKED”.
Over the course of two seasons, Write to Ignite has brought together bloggers, content creators and storytellers from all over the Philippines to share their stories, connect to people, and inspire the nation. And for season 3, it is time to tell and unmask the stories of others they have been longing to share.
“UNMASKED: The COMCO Mundo Write to Ignite Season 3” aims to explore how each mask is a person brimming with hope and wonders to share with others, as well as why it is important to tell their inspiring journeys in life.
Once again, Filipino bloggers, content creators and storytellers are invited to join by simply doing their dream interview with people and sharing their inspiring stories that need to be heard.

This initiative is born during the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the whole world slowly transitioning to what we call the new normal, it is only apt that we have “Unmasked” as our official theme for Season 3 as it reflects our hopeful state and the need to unravel the stories of others. To our dear Filipino bloggers in different parts of the country, “Write to Ignite” is for you and your readers, and we can’t wait to read the stories you will be sharing with the rest of the world,” said Mr. Ferdinand L.
