He co-authored the short monograph "Consuming digital disinformation: How Filipinos engage with racist and historically distorted online political content" (ISEAS) and co-edited the volume "Mobile media and social intimacies in Asia: Reconfiguring local ties and enacting global relationships" (Springer).
