Cebu: A Place For All Seasons
By Joyce Garcia Dizon
“This book was written first and foremost, out of love for Cebu, rather
than love for writing. It took years to complete because somehow, the
initial manuscripts were overran by continuing new developments and
events in Cebu. It is my hope that this books readers will view Cebu
experience not only as a flash in their memories, but a memorable part of
their lives.” – From the Introduction.

ACSC01 Beyond Rice
By Maria Elena Paterno-Locsin
This book is about the most important item in Philipine life – rice!
Except for its economic use, we know very little about the role of rice in
Filipino social and cultural life. We take this grain for granted, not
realizing that it is central not only to our economic survival as a people
but also to the patterning of our cultural life. – From the Introduction

ACMC02 Beneath the Ashes: Words and Images Inspired by
the Mt. Pinatubo Disaster
By Howard Shernoff and David Shernoff
The book is neither pure journalism nor pure art. It is a hybrid of the
two, seeking to communicate the physical consequences as well as
emotional nuances of one of the greatest natural disasters of this
Century, rather than a mere report of the facts accompanied by photographic illustrations, this book is an offering of images and reflections
born out of an interaction with a land, a people, and a culture that underwent an unprecedented transformation. That transformation was sudden
and violent. It was destructive and,due to its nature,seemingly unending.

ACCU02 Limbag Kamay: 400 Years of Philippine Printmaking
By Santiago Albano Pilar and Imelda Cajipe-Endaya
“Four hundred years ago, the first prints appeared in the first books
printed in the Philippines. Printmaking then developed in the hands of
local artists. In the Spanish colonial period, crafted excellent engravings
using both religious and secular themes. In the American period, political developments and the new lifestyle brought by their presence
became the main subjects of printmakers. However, the printmakers
toward the end of the American rule and during the Japanese occupation
accomplished little. But the practice was revived in the late 1950’s ushering in another creative period for local artists. With the efforts of
pioneering painters of the period, printmaking for personal expression
and social statement became equal to painting and sculpture. More than
this, printmaking started being valued truly as an art form for the many,
an important medium for expressing Filipino sentiments and exploring
artistic designs.” - Nicanor Tiongson. With Tagalog and English text.

nationalistic but given to doubts as to their own identity, a people of
lusty drive, yet impossible to organize. It is a revealing book that throws
an unusual light over their ageless traditions, their inheritances from
varied independence, the hard lives they lead and how they cope, and
the contant social and political changes that have prevailed throughout

placed on specific organs. What is healthy to a Filipino? With what
organ does a Pinoy love? Why this literary dissection of the Filipino
body? Because it is a good place to begin to learn about being Filipino.

Socio-Historical Perspective
By Lorelei D.C. De Viana
Binondo is a district with a rich historic past. It was the most important

story revolves around the Chinese for whom the little hilly island of
Minondoc and its adjacent caballeria by the beach were appropriated.
But, it is also the story of the mestizos and the natives who made
Binondo into a rich multi-cultural society since its conception as a
mission field in 1594 to the end of Spanish rule in 1898.

dealing with Andres Bonifacio and the Katipunan, I have laid more
emphasis on the latter rather on the founder and organizer; because of
the dearth of materials on his life and because it is my belief that
Bonifacio can best be seen and appreciated against the backdrop of the
revolutionary society. To understand him one must understand the
Katipunan. He looms great because of the society. He must, therefore,
be seen in and through the Katipunan." – from Preface

HIUS04 Kasaysay: The Story of the Filipino People
By Dante Ambrosio, Augusto de Viana and Anita Feleo
“Saysay” is the Filipino word for “story” or “sense”. When combined,
the two applications suggest a more complex idea, as in “a story that
makes sense.” Prefixed with “ka”, sasay becomes active – an eyewitness.
A story that gains credibility because it is told by one who had a part in
it. In this book, “kasaysay” becomes the collective story of the
Philippines. A story of its people, from the aborigine to the modern
Filipino, all of who, have made a personal contribution to national
narrative. Whether that role is active or passive does not matter. Both
the leader and the follower are swept by events into playing out the
moment. This volume covers Philippine history from the Pre-colonial
years to the Filipino-American War… From The Introduction.

Selected Essays of Teodoro A. Agoncillo
Edited by Bernardita Reyes Churchill
“If there is one thing that Agoncillo was passionate about, it is the
writing of Philippine history from the “Filipino point-of-view”. As early as
the 1940s he had lectured on the necessity of rewriting our history in
such a way as to view it from the Filipino standpoint. If Agoncillo were
still alive today, he probably would be pleased to see that current historical writing on the Philippines no longer reflects what he lamented as the
pervasive “colonial hand-over”characteristic of earlier works. -FromPreface

And Society
By William Henry Scott
A presentation of sixteenth century Philippine ethnography based on
comtemporary sources. It doesn't attempt to reconstruct that society by
consideration of present Philippine societies, or features believed to be
common to all Austronesian people nor does it seek similarities with
neighboring cultures in Southeast Asia, though the raw data presented

anwer the question: What did the Spaniards actually see about the
natives when they first met them? It is hoped that the answer will
permit Filipino readers today to pay a vicarious visit to the land of their
ancestors from centuries ago. From the Introduction

the lives that run parallel with Marcelo H. Del Pilar's in magical nonlinear narrative - of parents talking to their unborn children; of heroes
debating with their own forgotten selves; of youths practice dancing
with danger; of traitors and their monuments; of the collective consciousness that results from seeing three priests garroted in public; and how a
dead Plaridel, exhumed from a borrowed grave, is finally able to come

HIPU18 Muslims in the Philippines
By Cesar Adib Majul
…History in the Philippines tend to lay emphasis on events in other
islands and glory national heroes from such areas, as if the history of the
Philippines is only that of people who had been conquered while the
history of the unconquered ones do not merit a share in the history of the
Philippines. Possibly, with greater tolerance, intensive scholarship on all
levels, deeper and wider moral perspectives, and a greater appreciation
of the concept and implications of a pluralistic society, a future generation of Filipinos would consider the struggle of the Muslim South as part
of the struggle of the entire nation-and the epic exploits of its heroes may
well be the nation’s heritage. From the Introduction

HIPU29 National Glories: The Events of 1872
Translation and Notes by O.D. Corpuz
A historico-bio-bibliographical account by Manuel Artigas Y Cuerva.
This book provides details of the Cavite Revolt of 1872 that are not
presented in any other account. Above all, it places the events of 1872
within a broad perspective, relating it to: socio-political change back to
the early years after 1800: earlier uprisings: the bitter conflict over the
parishes between the Filipino priests and Spanish friars; racial issues; the
landgrabbing by the friar haciendas that produced landless native
families from whom, in turn, came the tulisanes, outlaws and the kasa, or
tenant sharecroppers; the "germ of revolution" that was festering simultaneously in Cuba, Puerto Rico and Filipinas; the rise of an educated liberal
and reform-orient Filipino elite; the politics in Spain after the 1868
Revolution; and opinion in the European press of the eventual political
future of Filipinas. Artigas y Cuerva regards the events of 1872 as the origin
of the Filipino Campaign for independence and the Revolution of 1896.

Saga and Triumph: The Filipino Revolution Against

This book will not only help us remember what martial law was really

that martial law was good for the country. The speeches in this book are
reminders that those who believe in democracy, freedom, and human
dignity have expressed themselves clearly and categorically - in the face
of open and tacit challenges - to act on this belief when circumstances
arise that make it necessary. Justice Sarmiento has set the example in these
speeches and in the life that he has lived, the choices that he has made.

passed, but the crises have left millions of people facing hardship. Now
it is generally recognized that reforms are necessary to improve the

It locates the Philippines in the late 18th century in the crossroads of
modernization and the already globalizing trend brought about by the
great number of technological and commercial advances of the colonial
empires of the West at the time. It shows graphically in many instances
how the games of the superpowers were played in this country, how
wealth came and went out of this land, and in a strange way almost
always left the country feeling poorer and exploited.”- Florentino Hornedo

HIOP01 Bataan, Death March, Capas: A Tale of Japanese
Cruelty and American Injustice
By Corban K. Alabado
Fifty years after World War II in the Philippines, it is time to recall the
events that led to its end. This is the personal narrative of a Filipino
University of the Philippines student, Corban K. Alabado, whose studies
were interrupted when he was drafted and inducted into the United
States Armed Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) under General Douglas
MacArthur and war broke out in 1941. He fought in Bataan, surrendered
and survived the Death March and was imprisoned in the POW
(Prisoner of War) concentration camp at O’Donnell in Capas, Tarlac.
After fighting alongside American soldiers and suffering and enduring
the brutalities of the Japanese Imperial Forces, he found himself and his
Filipino comrades completely ignored after the war in 1940. Thus to him
and all Filipino soldiers, while the Japanese enemies were brutal, the
aftermath “discarding us like a useless piece of rag” was more humiliating,
painful, and unjust. – From the Author’s Introduction

By Leonor Orosa Goquingco, National Artist for Dance
Collections of reviews are particularly important for art history, because
productions – especially before the advent of the videotape- remain only
in the memories of those that watched them. Artists need to be
reminded of their effects on the audiences of their time; reviewers speak
for these audiences. Audiences, on the other hand, need to be reminded
of the consistency, as well as the growth, of their tastes; reviewers
document these changes through their regular reviews. -Isagani Cruz

By Leonor Briscoe and Anita Merina, Editors
A collection of prize-winning fiction in the PALM (The Philippine Arts,

“These prize-winning stories written by a younger group of Filipino
Americans tell of their sojourn in the United States. The young and
beginning writers represented here share the vision of those who have
preceded them. They tell of the same themes, old but never new, what
price leaving home and all that uprooting, the hurt and the guilt of
assimilation and the clash of cultures, changing loyalties, turning away
from the old values, dancing to a new beat, an explosion of new songs by
fresh voices, unlike the familiar scents of home.“-Bienvenido Santos’Intro

1898-1941
By Clodualdo A. del Mundo, Jr.
Pionner Filipino filmmakers may have failed to break completely the
filter of the colonial way of looking at things, but they have indigenized
a foreign medium, the cinema, through the infusion of local elements
found in the moro-moro, the sarswela, and other theater/entertainment
forms. In this book, the author asserts that the early Filipino film “was
not an extension of Hollywood, but an emergent cultural form and
practice that was initself a critical response to colonialsm.

GLUS08 Myths and Metaphors
FIAN04 Two Bells/Two Worlds
Directed by Bernard Stone
As an outgrowth of the Spanish-American War, in 1899 the U.S.
attempted to annex the Philippine Islands, which led to a decade-long
war against the Filipino people, a conflict that has been called ‘our first
Vietnam.’ By portraying a contemporary controversy over the return of
war booty, two church bells, taken by the American military in 1901, this
video examines the untold story of that war and its legacy—the bloody
struggle that was waged, the acrimonious debate in the U.S. at that time
over our justifications for the conflict, and the ongoing debate today over
its historical significance. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress
Susan Sarandon, the video interweaves archival film and photos with
contemporary footage and interviews shot in the Philippines and the
U.S. with descendants of participants from both sides of the war.
Readings of contemporaneous historic statements, from President
McKinley to Mark Twain, bring those century-old events to life, and
historian Howard Zinn comments on the history of American
expansionism and its contemporary relevance. 2002, color,

The Day the Dancers Came opens with the title story, which won the
Philippines Free Press Annual Short Story Contest in 1966. The characters
are familiar to readers of Bienvenido N. Santos: the hurt, homesick men,
of You Lovely People; the people back home of Tondo, of Bicol, and thus of
Brother my Brother and The Volcano and the confused characters of Villa
Magdalena who bear burdens of guilt, and come and go in unscheduled
flights to lonely places. And yet the range is different, the insights are
new, and humanity here wears other familiar faces.

LINE68 More Than Conquerors
By Edilberto K. Tiempo
This prize-winning novel takes the resistance movement of World War II
as the background to dramatize the triumph of the human spirit over
unspeakable ordeal. This is primarily the story of the lawyer Andres and
his two brothers who undergo tortures such as mortal man is seldom
called upon to endure. The three brothers call up echoes of the Christ
figure in the midst of temptation and at Calvary: in this novel the
crucifixion is the horizontal spread-eagle of the Japanese torture-device.
Nowhere in Asian literature is the anguish and the victory of the human
spirit more movingly presented than in More Than Conquerors. This
present edition is a re-working of the original work which had only a
limited circulation because shortly after its publication the publishing
house burned down. ISBN 971-10-0388-0 142 pages

Not only do they demonstrate how literature is ineluctably political, they
argue that the contamination of the literary by the political is both poison

Development Among Children of Filipino Immigrants In
Australia
By Arlene Torres – D’Mello, Ph.D.
“…. having ascribed to themselves an Australia identity, the children of
Filipino immigrants, nevertheless, find it confusing when they are not
recognized and accepted as such as their Australia counterparts because
of their Asian features. For many, this external barrier caused by their
skin color remains even when the children themselves know that, within
themselves, they are already white. In many cases, therefore, their need
to have a sense of belonging makes them go back to their Filipino
identity, be it only on the rebound… “– From the Author’s Introduction.

By Raul Pertierra

upon a possibly surprising realization: that anthropology, the social
science peril from the advances of global culture, may provide the richest
and most secure foundation for understanding and coping practically
with its challenges. ISBN 971-542-134-2 274 pages

"Situated as they are within the Philippine Evangelical tradition, yet
supported by wide readership in other traditions, the reflection of Melba
Padilla Maggay comes through to the Roman Catholic reader as both
strikingly similar to and interestingly different from our own tradition.
The main difference lies in the methodology: Maggay focuses strongly
on Scripture in building a case for social involvement and in evaluating
possible approaches; the Catholic would look also to the body of social
thought develop[ed but the Popes over the past 100 years or so."

By D.J. O'Connor
This book examines sixteen plays-eleven of which were lost until the
author uncovered them in her research- from the period just before and
during the Spanish-American War. O'Connor sheds light on the
intellectual and political environment underlying the Spanish crisis of
conscience that gave rise to the literature of the Generation of 1898 and
gives insight into how the Spanish stage served as a potent propaganda
vehicle. This readable history addresses conflicts between civic duty and
family responsibility, racial prejudice, the roles of women, and
nationalism. One play from the period is presented in its entirety.

This is, as far as I know, the first true literary epic of the Philippines. The

gathered from the very life about us and from the checkered history of
the Filipinos themselves. Barter in Panay actually constitutes Book I of a
while epic cycle centering on the life of Datu Sumakwel, first Datu and
lawgiver of Panay. Book II will cover the tragic relationship between
Kapinangan, wife of Sumakwel, with Guronggurong, leading to the
killing of the latter by the chief. Book III will deal with Sumakwel’s
romance with Alayon, a chastened Kapinangan. Barter in Panay won a
first-prize award during the Golden Jubilee Literary Contests at the
University of the Philippines in 1959. Limited copies

ACCU02 Limbag Kamay: 400 Years of Philippine Printmaking
By Santiago Albano Pilar and Imelda Cajipe-Endaya
Four hundred years ago, the first prints appeared in the first books
printed in the Philippines. Printmaking then developed in the hands of
local artists. In the Spanish colonial period were crafted excellent
engravings using both religious and secular themes. In the American
period, political developments and the new lifestyle brought by their
presence became the main subjects of printmakers. However, the
printmakers toward the end of the American rule and during the
Japanese occupation accomplished little. But the practice was revived in
the late 1950’s ushering in another creative period for local artists. With
the efforts of pioneering painters of the period, printmaking for personal
expression and social statement became equal to painting and sculpture.
More than this, printmaking started being valued truly as an art form for
the many, an important medium for expressing Filipino sentiment and
exploring artistic designs. - Nicanor Tiongson Bilingual text in Tagalog
