Madilim ang Gabi sa Laot at Iba pang mga Dula ng Ligaw na Pag-Ibig Jose Y. Dalisay Jr.
“Pawang mga munting hiyas ng Teatro sa Pilipinas ang apat na dulang may isahang yugto sa aklat na ito. Naitanghal noong mga taong 1977 hanggang 1987, tumupad ang mga dulang ito sa mapangaraping pulso ng director—may mapanghalinang akit sa entablado, may nakalaang mga kahanga-hanga at naiibang papel para sa mga artista, may mga galaw na nakapagpapalalim ng kaisipan, at may mga mabisang mensaheng tinatanggap ng mga manonood.”—Tony Mabesa, propesor ng sining panteatro at artistic director ng Dulaang U.P. at U.P. Playwrights Theater

Maganda pa ang Daigdig Lazaro Francisco
This novel was serialized in the magazine Liwayway in 1955. This novel challenged its readers to solve or alleviate the festering wound of Philippine society: the widespread feudalism in the countryside. Francisco identifies the cause of poverty of the farmers and describes their helplessness in the hands of the landlord. He introduces characters of a different kind: one that does not allow oneself to be carried away by the flood of life, and instead acts according to one’s own principle and goal of helping others.

“Para makapangalap ng mga likhang pampanitikan at pansining, kinailangang magpunta sa iba’t ibang lugar sa labas ng Maynila–Rizal.

Mangyari pa’y maraming likha ang tiyak na hindi napasakamay ng patnugutan, kaya’t ang kasalukuyang antolohiya ay kapiraso lamang ng kabuuang larawan ng pag-unlad ng bagong panitikan at sining mula noong Setyembre 21, 1972, nang ipataw ang batas militar sa buong bansa.”—Mula sa tagalimbag

Mean Streets: Essays on the Knife Edge Rosario A. Garcellano
The author writes of streets filled with strangers “who wear deadpan faces and hooded eyes so unnerving you become extremely careful where you direct your gaze,” and women “guarding bags of bread, hardboiled eggs,” who “crouch [on the streets] until dawn, oases for cabbies and the occasional chauffeur slowly starving in his master’s Mercedes.”

Memoirs of a Communist Jesus B. Lava
“What Dr. Lava has to say in the twilight years of his life touching on the story of the struggle for national independence of which he was much a part is must reading, particularly for Filipinos searching for reasons why this only Christian nation in Asia and Asia’s oldest democracy is also the poorest and most wretched in the region.”—Alejandro Lichauco

Memory\'s Fictions: A Personal History Bienvenido N. Santos
“I’ve been reading about a disease, with a name I’ve never learned to spell, that afflicts the mind of the aging. So I’ve begun to think autobiography. Memories. When I recalled what I sometimes tell my students in fiction workshops that even memory fictionizes, I began planning, conniving with my sense of truth in fiction and in life…. When I finally settled on the title, I made up my mind to write this personal history, before my memory abandons me altogether.”

Marahil ay kahangalan, isang nakapapagod na pagtalunton sa kung saan. Gayunman, sa koleksyong ito, matapat kong nailarawan ang aking damdamin ukol sa ilang paksaing gumiyagis sa akin sa ilang panahon. Hindi pa ako makaigpaw sa mga makababaeng isyu, gayundin sa paksang nauugnay sa kakikilanlan at pagkamakabayan.”—Elynia S. Mabanglo

“Ibig nating magkaroon ng pansimula man lamang kaalaman ukol sa sinaunang panahon ng mga palaisip na Griyego…. Marahil marami ang mga patakaran na maaring gamitin sa ganitong layunin, ngunit dalawa lamang ang sumagi sa aking isip.” Ayon sa may-akda, ito ay ang “tanaw” at “tarok.”

Mga Tulang Tulala: Mga Piling Tula sa Filipino, Bikol, at Rinconada Kristian Sendon Cordero
Paz Verdades Santos, a literary historian and critic notes that one of the many strengths of Cordero’s poetry is the tone of maturity that characterized most of his poems: “…Fortunately, he has not had to look too far for both material and metaphor grounded as he is in Bikol lore. He reflects on folk beliefs and festivals such as the moon-swallowing Bakunawa, the practice of Exorcism in Santigwar, and Iriga’s harvest feast of the Tinagba as well as the everyday Bikol scenes such as the marketplace, the kamgum tree and pregnant cats. He turns all these into stinging social commentary on such issues as traditional politicians, lack of basic services and class inequality. Yet his social realism is tempered with humor, whether in diction or rhythm. The humor is naturally biting and painful, for the issues he takes up are too heavy and all too real.”
Naga City: Goldprint Publishing House, 2004
Mindanao: A Portrait Edited by Rene B. Javellana, SJ

Misterios and Other Poems J. Neil C. Garcia
Written in the space between worlds—Self and Other, East and West, lyric and narrative, human and divine—the poems in Misterios do not aspire to resolution, but instead reach towards the peaceful luminosity that is the dwelling place of mystery itself. Again and again, in these careful utterances, the contraries of existence are recognized, loved, inquired into, and abandoned, not for the sake of arriving at any kind of confident understanding, but simply as a possible means to live.

Ang tinutukoy nga ng mismong pamagat ng koleksyong ito na Morpo ay ang mga proseso ng pagbubuo at paglulusaw ng mga hugis.”— Bomen Guillermo

My Pledge of Love Cannot Be Broken and Other Essays on, Alas, More Fragile and Edible Things Simeon Dumdum Jr.
“The essays of Simeon Dumdum Jr. speak of an imagination that draws out the extraordinary from the commonplace, and a compassionate humor which toughens or gentles a small human drama in everyday life. My Pledge of Love Cannot Be Broken, tongue-in-cheek after the pop singer Eddie Peregrina’s top hit, repeats the feat of his previous book (Love in the Time of the Camera) and proves that Dumdum is the wisest Filipino humorist today.”—Marjorie Evasco
My Sad Republic Eric Gamalinda
First Prize, Centennial Literary Prize for the Novel, 1998
A story of love, obsession, and loss, set against the epic background of the Philippine revolution against Spain and the Filipino–American War. Loosely based on the life of Papa Isio, a faith healer who declared a schism from the oppressive Spanish government and proclaimed himself the Pope of the republic, the novel takes us to a world of relentless savagery and eerie beauty, seen through the eyes not of victorious colonizers but of the vanquished people who lived through it: people portrayed with humor, sensuality, intelligence, and dignity.

Myself, Elsewhere Carmen Guerrero Nakpil
Writing at age 84 about her girlhood in Ermita before World War II, Carmen Guerrero Nakpil offers both the innocent candor of the young and the worldly wisdom of old age. Using flashbacks and fast forwards, Nakpil provides historical background and foreground to the highly personal account of her early years and family history. This book also describes the cultural frame, the manners and morals, gossips and intrigues of a small Filipino town near the Manila Bay during the first half of the 20th century and it does so with humor and also sorrow over its tragedy.

This book addresses these issues through a study of the relations between musical poetics, myth, and magic in the musical and spiritual lives of T’boli men and women from the highlands of southwestern Mindanao.
