Si Verlin Santos ang ulo ng grupong Titik Poetry na kung saan ay patuloy na ipinangangalandakan sa lahat. Trip niyang tumula sa publiko dahil naubusan na siya ng hiya sa katawan. Ganito niya kamahal ang sining ng pagtula at handa niya itong ibahagi sa iba. Isa sa mga pinakamalaking entablado na kanyang natapakan ay ang TEDxXavierSchool, Art in the World without Time for Artists. Hanggang ngayong patuloy niya pa ring pinapalaki ang Titik upang mas mapalawak ang misyon nitong hindi lang gawing form of entertainment ang pagtutula kundi isang platform for education.

 

 

Para bagsakan tayong ng matititinding berso, inihahandog namin ang ikatlo nating panauhin: Sabino Brothers.♡

Magkapatid na makata na naging gabay ang paglikha ng Sining patungo sa paglaya ng kamalayan at naging susi upang mamulat sa kung ano na nga ba ang nangyayari sa ating bayan. Kabilang din sa grupo ng Titik Poetry na niniwala sa kakayahan ng pangarap!
