MANILA - The woman behind the popular Facebook story "Vince & Kath" launched her first book over the weekend.

A long queue of excited fans surprised Jenny Almocera during the launch of her first book, "The Wrong Message" under ABS-CBN Publishing, at National Book Store at Trinoma mall on Sunday.

A meet-and-greet session with Almocera and the book's cover model, Ronnie Alonte, was the highlight of the event.

Around 250 fans were given a chance to have their books signed and take selfies with Almocera and Alonte. One of them is Elmansam Llantino, 20, who said Almocera's stories helped him have a wider perspective.

"Dahil sa mga stories niya [Almocera], mas nagiging malawak po 'yong pagtingin ko sa mga bagay-bagay na dating ang liit ng tingin ko -- tulad ng love story," he told ABS-CBN News.

This and more inspiring messages from followers continue to inspire Almocera, who was teary-eyed during the event due to happiness.

"Sobrang saya ko ngayon. Hindi ko ma-explain 'yong nararamdaman ko. I'm just so happy dahil sa support nila," she told ABS-CBN News.

According to the 22-year-old author, she has been receiving requests to write a sequel.

"Pinag-iisipan ko pa what to write next. Pero maraming nagre-request ng part two ng 'The Wrong Message,'" she said.

Almocera, who is known in social media as "Queen Elly," was first featured on ABS-CBN News.
