Columnist's note: It is my honor to have as my guest columnist this Sunday one of the most promising linguists in the Philippines, Ma. Kaela Joselle R. Madrunio.

She has chosen to focus on forensic linguistics for her research, but she touches on many linguistics topics and themes that also touch on language and forensics. I am certain her mother, Prof. Marilu Rañosa-Madrunio, the pioneer of forensic linguistics in the Philippines, is very much delighted with the work she is doing.
