Bong Redila is a self-taught Filipino American illustrator and author based in Miami, Florida. Redila started his illustration career in the early ’90s in Guam, USA, as an editorial cartoonist for a local newspaper. In the early 2000s, he wrote and illustrated short stories set in a fictional town named Meläg, where phantasmagoric and peculiar events consistently unfold.

Redila's work was also nominated for the prestigious Madrigal-Gonzalez First Book Award. In 2022, Meläg: Town of Fables was published in English by Fantagraphics.
