Bio
Marivir Montebon is a passionate writer for society and people. She published OSM! on May 18, 2012 with the clear vision in mind that this online magazine is to be the epitome that good things that people do have to be cherished and amplified. Hence, OSM! is born as a counter media culture of the ‘what bleeds leads’ notion.
Growing up weary of the bad news is news syndrome, Montebon has committed OSM! to be the brand of journalism of positively inspiring lives…whether as career professionals, community leaders, youth leaders, or entrepreneurs and business persons. In this manner, journalism has done its purpose of informing and inspiring, and being a positive contribution to a community and world of peace and understanding.
In March 2012, Montebon was awarded the Woman in Media/Journalism award by the New Jersey-based Pan-American Concerned Citizens League.
Montebon also serves as managing editor of the Migrant Heritage Chronicle, a community paper based in Washington, DC. She is well into the topics of politics and world development, art and culture, and women issues and concerns.

Ms. Montebon began her profession in the media at a young age, starting off as a campus journalist in the portals of her school, the University of San Carlos in Cebu, Philippines. Immediately after college, she begun a colorful career in print and broadcast media.
She has two published books. Her debut was in 2000 which is entitled “Retracing our Roots: A Journey into Cebu’s Precolonial and Colonial Past” and the second book was published in 2007 entitled “Beyond the Seed Money”. It is about successful women micro-entrepreneurs in Cebu.
During her stint at editor at the Freeman Newspaper between 1996-2001, the paper became a hall of famer of the Konrad Adenauer Awards for Community Journalism by winning for three consecutive years the Best in Environmental Reporting and Best in Cultural and Historical Reporting Awards.
Ms. Montebon conceptualized and produced the television talk show “Babaye” (Woman) for the Catholic Television Network which features success stories of women from all walks of life. The show ran in 2002-2010 and was being enjoyed not only in the Philippines but in Asia as well.

PRAISE FOR
BITING THE BIG APPLE
"A wonderfully written memoir: insightful, inspiring, informative, and funny. Marivir Montebon shares with us her story in the context of family history which is an integral part of the Philippine diaspora. You will love this book, and get a deeper understanding of the stories of immigrants, that many of them are made of courage and faith. It is a must read."
LOIDA NICOLAS-LEWIS
Chairperson
US Pinoys for Good Governance
"A woman's story, an immigrant's story, a single parent's story – all these and more in Biting the Big Apple. It's a tale of strength that threads through the whole book and brings everything together in the end. It's a tale of triumph that spans three generations, told in an easy, engaging style, with snippets of history. It's both a personal journey, and a journey which finds a common tie with other life's journeys that make this book an interesting read."
SYLVIA HUBILLA
Writer
OSM! Online Magazine
"It is a bit unique and shows that our great country is still the land of opportunity. Regardless of how you got here, if you have a dream that's big enough and a desire that's strong enough, you can overcome any obstacle and achieve anything!"
JEFFREY STERN
Chairperson

Connecticut Chapter
“Marivir Montebon tells a story that is both universal and unique. She writes about the death of her husband, her separation from her daughter and her escape to New York to start a new life with heartfelt honesty. Her triumph over adversity, her eventual reunion with her daughter, and her success in building a career as an international journalist infuse the book with a life affirming spirit. Biting the Big Apple is a story brimming with courage, hope, adventure, and, most of all, with love."
