These books are among his helpful references for his research. He is also a collector of vintage and modern dictionaries, both of local and foreign literatures. His close contact with the locals and native speakers as well as his visits to different places across the country led him to compile more vocabularies of would-be dictionaries of other dialects and other interests in the country. It was in his many travels around the country that he explored, experienced, and learned more about the rest of the Philippines. He moved to Manila in 1996, and after a year, he got a job that required him to travel all over the Philippines. In 1995, he started his research for his first dictionary, the Edgie Polistico’s Cebuano-English Dictionary. He started creating a database of words at the age of 14 and continued against all odds doing research and compiling words even in the years when he proceeded to study law in Tacloban City and later in Cebu City. His desire to improve his vocabulary while in high school in 1984 was the beginning of Edgie Polistico’s interest in lexicography.
