Cadena de Amor and Other Short Stories
Wilfrido Nolledo
Co-Winner, National Book Award, Short Fiction, 2004 “Young authors in the new millenium, whether they write in English or Filipino, whether they write fiction, poetry, or drama, will be suffering a great loss if they fail to be introduced to an ‘old’ writer who resisted the mellowing aging was supposed to induce and continued to be ahead of our times. Meet Wilfrido D. Nolledo, writer of the 1950s, still quite young when he departed in the 21st century.” —Bienvenido Lumbera, introducing W. D. Nolledo Manila: University of Santo Tomas Publishing House, 2004

Cartography: A Collection of Poetry on Baguio
Ma. Luisa Aguilar-Cariño
Winner, National Book Award, Poetry, 1992 “The poems in the collection Cartography explore themes and subjects connected to or occasioned by living in the City of Baguio in the Philippines. While the poems in the collection do not seek to explain history or to duplicate its aims (nor to do sociological analysis of changes that have taken place within the fabric of cultural and social life in Baguio), they can be said to represent imaginative journeys into the past, present, and future of Baguio.”—Ma.

Catch a Falling Star
Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo
Winner, National Book Award, Fiction, 1999 With this collection of stories, Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo departs from the “tale” mode of her previous books Tales for a Rainy Night (1993) and Where Only the Moon Rages (1994), and returns to the realistic short story, the mode of her earlier collection Ballad of a Lost Season (1987). But the simple narrative style and the nostalgic tone of these new stories about the young girl, Patriciang Payatot, are reminiscent of the tales, as well as of her travel essays—a genre in which she pioneered, and which some critics regards as her best work.

Cavite before the Revolution, 1571–1896
Isagani Medina
Winner, National Book Award, History, 1994 “I find it to be fascinating and an admirable piece of scholarly work. It is thorough and well researched. His emphasis on toponyms and things indigenous to the province is indeed a new approach to the study of local history. I consider this work an invaluable contribution to Philippine historical literature, especially to local history.”

Children of the Snarl and Other Poems
Marne Kilates
Winner, National Book Award, Poetry, 1988 “Children of the Snarl and Other Poems stir up what is latent in us—the dark, primeval, sensual pre-colonial beings that lurk behind our westernized colonial façades. These poems disturb us because they open us up to ourselves, make us see what we are deep down inside, the core that we suppress in the name of borrowed good and borrowed honor. These poems subvert our ordered view of life, our mannered visions of ourselves.”—Alfrredo Navarro Salanga, in the introduction Quezon City: Aklat Peskador, 1988

Christology of the Inarticulate: An Inquiry into the Filipino Understanding of Jesus the Christ
Benigno Beltran, SVD
Winner, National Book Award, Theology, 1988 “What does it mean to believe that Jesus is the Christ when one is a scavenger in a garbage dump? I have been working with the scavengers for many years. With them I have often stumbled upon insights into a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and what He did for us. Faith in the power of Jesus and the experience of his consoling presence kindle their courage and endurance as they go through the terrible agony of living and scavenging in the garbage dump in order to survive.”—Benigno Beltran, SVD Manila: Divine Word Publications, 1987

Cinco de Noviembre
Rene Javellana, SJ
Winner, National Book Award, Childrens Book, 2000 This historical fiction paints the Filipinos’ first bloodless revolution as a play—seen through the eyes of a young boy who unknowingly takes part in one of the military victories of Philippine history. Though the boy Toto is fictional, the events that took place within the towns of Bacolod, Talisay, Silay, and Bago actually transpired as a glorious example of the Filipino revolutionary spirit of unity and creativity.

Ciudad Murada: A Walk through Historic Intramuros
Jose Victor Torres
Winner, National Book Award, Travel, 2006 “This book is a highly interesting and entertaining guide to landmarks—both extant and vanished—and to the history of Manila’s Intramuros. It also serves as a possible inspiration and guide to policy makers and planners and to private-sector developers, as an object lesson on what can be done to recover some of the old glory of Manila the Beautiful.”

Coconut Cookery of Bicol
Honesto General
Winner, National Book Award, Cookbooks and Food, 1994 This fun book, disguised as a cookbook, is a brief autobiography with a rather extended digression on food. Incidentally, the recipes in these pages are authentic and truly edible and—in fact—epicurean. Makati City: Bookmark, 1994
