Looking Back
Ambeth R. Ocampo Hindsight is the lowest form of intelligence - except for historians. History is the collective memory of a nation but it has to be constantly rewritten. It is the historians interpretation of,more often than not, questionable facts.
Looking Back 2
Ambeth R. Ocampo To a people who are blind to the lessons of the past, Ambeth R. Ocampo is the one eyed king. Sure he has his critics, but all the time, he is entertaining, fresh and bracing, not stodgy or stultifying like some academics with their voluminous footnotes and explanations.
Peace Warriors
Criselda Yabes This book is delightful read. It is, as far as I know, the first intimate look at everyday life inside the military camps. Yabes has given us portrait after portrait of soldiers and officers who fight the countrys internal warsin all their nobility and their flaws.
Looking Back 3
Ambeth R. Ocampo The cause of history writing owes Ambeth Ocampo a great deal. By his extraordinary use of a relatively new genre, he has rescued history from the cold, forbidding halls of academe. He has made of history something amusing, entertaining... as immediate as a newspaper headline, as relevant as a rappers song .

HISTORY
portrait of a generation that created the self-consciousness of the Filipino nation.

SOCIAL SCIENCE
The particular culture we are in offers us a menu of options with which to make sense of the various and disparate events in our lives. Culture therefore cannot be ignored for being unimportant, for, through it, the lives that we lead acquire a shape that gladdens us. In the heightened competition that characterizes globalization, knowing ones culture and keeping in touch with its most intimate values and aspirations can give the individual plenty of needed comfort.

Edna Zapanta Manlapaz Literary history that dwells on the personal lives of the first generation of Filipino women writers in English.
They illuminate the ongoing transformation and redefinition of the Philippine nation-state while highlighting the ways in which the individual and collective experiences, struggles, dreams, and aspirations of Filipinos serve to rethink and reinvent notions of belonging, sacrifice, learning, labor, and love that underpin the theory and practice of nation making.
Basta
Allan Popa Basta, is a work of clarity and stunning vision, and it is a vision that terrifies. Exiled from what makes him human, long subject to and of indignities, man is tethered back to his compulsions and is complicit. It is a complicity that contaminates every redemptive act, the sublimation of our impulses and sufferings, so that mortification of the flesh verges on its pornographic violation. The flagellating figure in the collection, the savior as sinner (and vice versa), may very well be a voyeur and an oppressor in his communion with the forsaken.
On the Subject of the Nation: Filipino Writings from the Margins 1981 to 2004
Caroline S. Hau Examines the critical interfaces between the personal and political that frame the utopian visions of Bai Rens fictional autobiography about the education of FilipinoChinese sojourners, Robert Francis Garcias firsthand account of the Communist purges, Cesar Lacaras memoirs of a veteran revolutionary, Zelda Sorianos feminist narratives, Peter Bachos novelistic dissection of Filipino-American identity crisis, and Rey Venturas ethnography of illegal migrant workers in Japan.
Modern prose fiction in Cebuano has its beginnings in the nineteenth century. In this respect, its emergence antedates the appearance of the first short stories and novels in much of Southeast Asia. Beyond this note of historical importance, however, Cebuano fiction is of value in itself, as a body of literary art, and for what it can reveal to us of Cebuano and Philippine culture.
Cebuano writing suffered marginalization in the scheme of anational literature and culture in the postwar years. In the work of some practitioners, many of them represented in this book, Cebuano fiction has acquired a more mellow, more confident voice.

The Promise of the Nation: Gender, History, and Nationalism in Contemporary Ilokano Literature
Roderick G. Galam
ISBN 971-550-554-3 2008 339 pages $40.00
The Promise of the Nation, trailblazing in many respects, will be a yardstick for all other critical works to follow. Its virtue lies in its capacity to resist the onslaught of a scholarship that reads only the nation and the national from the vortex of a centralized political, economic, and cultural power. Irreverent and relevant, there is promise fulfilled in this work and the Ilokano people are richer because of its contribution to the critical production of knowledge in what we can now call Ilokano Studies.
The author illuminates how Igorots, or Cordillerans, during the 1980s and 1990s, articulated an image of oneness in resisting the Marcos regimes dam and logging projects, and in subsequent calls for a Cordillera Autonomous Region similar to Mindanao.

A useful source of information on an impressive range of decorative motifs and designs, their usage as well as their probable connection with other living art forms within and beyond Southeast Asia.

Enrique El Negro
Carla M. Pacis In this book, the countrys premier novelist for young adults, trains her imaginative talent and narrative skill on Magellan and the Philippines. Backed by solid research and a wealth of detail, she improvises on the persistent possibility that it was a Filipino who first circumnavigated the globe. The boy, Enrique El Negro, is bought by Magellan from the slavery he was sold into by pirates who killed the rest of his family. With Magellan, he travels all over the world until Magellans death on the sands of Mactan.

To achieve this, they must fly over a whole archipelago and return the endangered bird to her natural habitat.

A Cofradia of Two
Erlita P. Mendoza This is the Story of a remarkable couple whose unlikely partnership helped build the first city of the Kapampangan Region as told by their eight surviving children and two daughters-in-law. They started one of those larger-than-life family dynasties that have strengthened society in their respective regions and decentralized power from nations capital.

and whom he would once again afterward, until his death in 1924. Notwithstanding the friars (understandable) biases of that sensitive period in Philippine history, this present edition shares this almost forgotten work in a new perspective, as an indispensable addition to Kapampangan historiography. The epistle is being reprinted in its original form and supplemented with translation notes and other background materials.
Arte Y Reglas
Fr. Edilberto V. Santos
They wrote these for the benefit not of the natives, but of their fellow missionaries newly assigned to their respective missions and parishes, where they had to deliver homilies that no longer required someone standing beside them in the pulpit to do on-the-spot translations. The friars also needed to learn the vernacular so that they could understand the sins being confessed to them in the confession box and give the exact, corresponding punishment. We are lucky that because the friars dreaded being objects of the natives ridicule, they diligently studied our language and handed down to us these vocabularios and artes which reveal so much not only about our language in its pristine stage, but also about our ancestors way of life.

Arte Benavente
Fr. Edilberto V Santos One of the reasons Filipinos did not learn the Spanish language like, for example, the Latin Americans did, even after 300 years of colonization, is that the friarsto whom the King had assigned the task of teaching the natives the Spanish language decided that it was more convenient for them to learn the natives language than to teach them Spanish. This is also the reason the friars did not bother to translate the Bible into any of the Philippine languages, and the reason the natives wrote their own version of it (the pasyon). Instead, the friars wrote dictionaries (vocabulario) and grammars (arte) Kapampangan, Tagalog, Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Ilonggo, Ilocanoname it, they wrote it.

One of the first things the Spanish missionaries did upon arriving in the new colony was to study the local language. They did not teach their converts Spanish because apparently, it was easier for the missionaries to learn the language of the natives, than for the natives to learn the language of the missionaries. This is the reason we never acquired proficiency in Spanish despite being a colony of Spain for over 300 years.
Gloria
Ang lahat ng Wika sa Kapuluan ay sari-saring bulaklak na kung bagamat ay iba ang kanikanilang kulay at bango, ay tumutubo naman lahat sa Hardin ng Pilipinas; ang Kapangpangan at tagalong ay ganyan, dalawang mabangong bulaklak na palibhasay magkapatid ay tinuhog ninyo at ginawang kuwintas ng Inang Pilipinas, with that metaphor, the great Tagalog poet Jose Corazon de Jesus (a.k.a Huseng Batute) approved the Kapampangan translation of his verse novel Gloria by an obscure poet from Pampanga, Roman Leoncio.
Bergao Dictionary
Fr. Venancio Samson This dictionary is intended to intellectuallize Kapampangan, i.e., make it an adequate medium not just in conversation and literary writing but also in formal discussion, intellectual discourse and technical writing.

This was in late 1920s, when the literary scene in Pampanga was percolating with publications and performances whose sheer number, variety and quality would invite comparison with Elizabethan Age. The same scene was occurring just across the Pampanga River, home of another ethno-linguistic tribe, the Tagalogs, whose destiny and role in history alternately merged and parted and sometimes collided with that of the Kapampangans. As Huseng Batute and Roman Leoncio showed the kinship of Tagalogs and Kapampangans, so have the people behind this publication crossed the river and other great divides to prove that regional languages are nothing but ways of expressing the same national spirit.

Boyer, Robert H. Bob Boyer offers affectionate often intimate portraits of Filipino life and culture, formed over many visits to a country that many, if not most, Americans know only in the broadest terms: as a staunch ally in the Pacific and its other wars, as the rack of Imeldas shoes, and as the home of Manny Pacquiao. Bob sharpens that picture with factual detail, but also softens the resulting image of the Filipino with his sympathy and understanding. Whether hes riding a jeepney, sipping iced tea at the Chocolate Kiss, exploring the mysteries of Quiapo, or marching up Bataan and Corregidor, Dr. Boyer invariably delights and inevitably instructs; sometimes like all good
This is a story about the Communist Party of the Philippine (CPP) from its founding in 1968 to its devastating splits in the early 1990s. Weekley asks why the CPP was not able to adjust to the changed political condition of EDSA, when it was necessary to do so. Using official and unofficial CPP documents, and information from her in-depth interviews with ranking party cadres (former and present), Weekley tells a story that is critical of and yet sympathetic to the dilemmas of the CPP.

The articles in this collection range from heartfelt reminiscences of daily encounters from the early days, to carefully crafted tales of youthful adventure and mischief, to personal accounts of historical campus events, and sentimental tributes to beloved community figures. All of these essays pieced together form a colorful tapestry of experiences that not only captures a pocket history of the University of the Philippines, but reflects the pioneering spirit and rich character of those who, literally, first broke ground in this campus and laid the foundations of what Narita Gonzalez sometimes refers to as a campus communiversity.

The Modern Principalia is about the Philippine ruling elite-who they are and how they evolved in history. It tells us about their economic interests as well as their lifestyles, how they acquired their wealth and built a world of their own, separating themselves from the world of the common tao. It describes their family links and their interlocking interests with other elites and foreign partners. The book also tells us about the values and behavior of the elite in politics and government, how they exploit the poverty and ignorance of the masses to win political power and what they do with that power.

Filipinos think and feel about our world and so, justify the way we live. Because of the ever-present danger of arrest and torture during the years of the Marcos dictatorship (1972 to 1986), the writers were driven to other forms or guises of the short story, such as fantasy and sci-fi, tale and parable. But whatever the form, you come away from the story with an image of a lifetime or a moment lived that the storys words have evocatively forged; and that image sums up and makes into a whole the storys meaningfulness by which its form has been achieved. That meaningfulness too is what raises the story to a universal plane, which is not the realm of eternal verities but rather, the site of everlasting questioning. Thus, illustratively, it would appear in a number of stories that the countrys true hero is the common tao for their underground spirit of endurance; the rebel, too, the NPA cadre, would be ennobled during those oppressive years of martial law by their struggle for a just and humane society.

ANTHROPOLOGY
Tan, Michael T. This book looks at folk illnesses in the Philippines including, as the title suggests, usog, pasma, and kulam. Rather than looking at these folk illnesses as superstitions, Tan explains the broader social and cultural contexts of these concepts. Tan uses different social science perspectives to explore the deeper meanings of these illnesses, including their links to social norms, tensions, and conflicts. He emphasizes, too, that far from being static, these folk illnesses continue to evolve, influenced by western medicine as well as new images around health and illnesses that come with mass media and advertising. Finally, he calls attention to a medical ecological perspective, looking at how our changing relationships with the natural environment also lead to modifications in the folk illnesses.

Watching dance is stepping into a pond. Writing on dance traces vanishing imprints beneath the waters. A dancing body disappears as it appears. Creating dance inscribes that body in a temporal-spatial landscape. Knowing dance in society hopes to understand a cultural and communal body, a crossing of currents of visible and invisible forces, even felt, if not reducible to a verbal discourse. This book is a first reader in Philippine dance, observed through forty-five years of viewing, reviewing, and doing. It is one observers understanding of what, where, or how is dance, and who makes it and why we dance.

n this landmark history of Philippine maps and their cartographers, National Artist Carlos Quirino recounts how the concept of the Philippines emerged in the late sixteenth century as a nebulous speck in the vast Pacific Ocean and evolved in fits and starts over four centuries into its current iconography. The Philippines as a geographical and ideological concept is given form by a long line of illustrious cartographers from many cultures and times, among them Gerardus Mercator, Sebastian Mnster, Robert Dudley, Pedro Murillo Velarde, and homegrown Jos Algu, SJ. Ranging from ancient Chinese scrolls to intricate atlases, Quirino writes a history full of heroics and everyday routine, of personal and national rivalries, of influential mistakes and brilliant insights. First published in a limited edition in 1959 and published a second time in Amsterdam, the third edition of Philippine Cartography showcases more than 120 maps from the finest collections in the Philippines and the most comprehensive bibliography of Philippine maps. This edition also contains a fresh and authoritative introduction by map collector and scholar Dr. Leovino Ma. Garcia. With its erudite text and unparalleled reproductions of rare maps and views, the book will delight everyone with an interest in antiquities, history, geography, and maps as instruments of power and vessels of beauty. Today it remains the lone comprehensive work on Philippine maps and their history... The third edition of Philippine Cartography is a longawaited reissue of an eminent work. Rudolf J.H. Lietz, E.R.G.S. This book is a brilliantly illustrated analysis of the slow process by which the Philippine Islands were first incorporated in the world map. Paul Wheatley, Geographer
