Paghuhunos
Ellen L. Sicat
Winner, Madrigal-Gonzalez Best First Book Award, Literature, 2002 “Wala akong ibang alam na paraan ng pagkukuwento kundi tulad lamang ng sa impo ko: kapalagayang-loob niya ang kakuwentuhan, ka-talamitang-dila, ‘ika nga … bagamat tinangka kong maging matapat sa nobelang Paghuhunos, maaaring ang aking pagkaalaala ang di naging matapat. May mga banggit sa kasaysayan ang nobela, posibleng nagkagulo-gulo ang petsa. Dapat nanaliksik ako, pero masisira ang nais kong kalabasan ng nobela: isang pagbubuklat ng gunita—may labis, may kulang.”—Ellen L. Sicat Quezon City: University of the Phillipines Press, 2001

Pagkatao at Teknolohiya: Mga Isyu ng Etika sa Makabagong Medisina
Leonardo D. De Castro
Winner, National Book Award, Philosophy, 1998 “Kapansin-pansin ngayon sa mga pahayagan, radyo, at telebisyon ang mga balita tungkol sa aborsyon, euthanasia, assisted suicide, cloning, teknolohiyang pangreproduksiyon, genetic engineering, at iba pang paksa na kinatatagpuan ng nag-uumapaw na bugtong tungkol sa katayuan at hinaharap ng tao. Sa harap ng mga ito, hindi maaaring manatiling mga tagapanood lamang ang mga pangkaraniwang tao. Kailangang masangkot ang pangkaraniwang tao sa mga pag-aaral at pagpapasya sapagkat siya man ay may malaking taya sa mga maaaring mangyari. Hangarin ng aklat na ito na makatulong sa paglilinaw ng mga isyung tinutukoy.”—Mula sa paunang salita Quezon CIty: U.P. Sentro ng Wikang Filipino, 1999

Pagsalubong sa Habagat
Lamberto E. Antonio
Winner, National Book Award, Poetry, 1986 Also published by Kaunlaran Press, 1986.
Nagsimulang makilala si Lamberto E. Antonio sa masugid niyang pagtataguyod ng modernismo sa tulang Pilipino. Sa paglabas ng kanyang Hagkis ng Talahib (1980), naging ganap ang pagkilala sa natatangi niyang kakayahang isataludtod ang “damdaming naninigid at paniwalang pinakalirip.” Ang Pagsalubong sa Habagat ang pinakahuling yugto ng kanyang masagisag at maharayang pagsisiwalat.

Pagsubok sa Ilang: Ikaapat ng Mukha ni Satanas
Tony Perez
Winner, National Book Award, Theology and Religion, 2006 “Written creatively and with uncommon clarity, this book critically rereads the temptations in the desert as a process of psycho-spiritual integration involving Jesus’ descent to his unconscious and the reabsorption of his Shadow. Satan as the “shadow” is non-dualistically presented here as a force that is integrally within us, which we must face in order to move toward greater individuation. Pagsubok sa Ilang indeed contributes not only to the small collection of academic studies devoted to the figure of Satan but also to the possible significations Satan can assume in Christian life.”—Agnes M. Brazal, STD, Maryhill School of Theology Pasig City: Anvil Publishing, 2005

Pambungad sa Metapisika
Roque J. Ferriols, SJ
Winner, National Book Award, Philosophy, 1991 Noong 1969, nagsimulang magturo ng pilosopiya si Padre Ferriols sa wikang Filipino. Nag-iisa siyang nangahas na bigkasin ang tunay na umiiral, o “Meron” sa katutubong wika, sa panahong Ingles lamang ang naghaharing wika sa mga pamantasan at inakala pang tanging wika ng pag-iisip. Sa pamamagitan ng tahasang paglalarawan at pagpapaliwanag ng karanasan sa wikang Filipino, naipakita ni Padre Ferriols kung paano kumakagat o nag-uugat ito sa tunay na umiiral o “Meron” sa bukod-tanging paraan. Pinayaman din ni Padre Ferriols ang katutubong kalinangan nang isulat niya ang kanyang Pambungad sa Metapisika. Quezon City: Ateneo de Manila University Office of Research and Publications,, 1991

Pangalay: Traditional Dances and Related Folk Artistic Expressions
Ligaya Fernando-Amilbangsa
Winner, National Book Award, Art, 1983 “In Pangalay, Ligaya Fernando-Amilbangsa has gathered material for the dance historian, the dance teacher, the dancer. It seems inevitable, however, that her audience will expand to include the choreographer in search of the bases of abstraction and creation; the historian seeking the cultural artifacts that mark historical time; the anthropologist and sociologist exploring sociocultural settings for human behavior; and certainly anyone wishing to understand still another facet of being Filipino.”—Doreen G. Fernandez, in the foreword Makati City: Filipinas Foundation for the Ministry of Muslim Affairs, 1983

Papas House, Mamas House
Jean Lee C. Patindol
Illustrated by Mark Ramsel N. Salvatus III
Grand Prize, PBBY Writers Prize, Childrens Book, 2004 “Many adults believe that some subjects are ‘not for children’ and the issue of separated families is one of these. Yet children are perceptive observers who wonder and feel confused at why they or their peers do not live with both a mother and a father. This story about such a family, told from the voice of a child, responds to children’s questions in a simple and sensitive way.”—Liane Peña-Alampay, Ph.D., developmental psychologist, Ateneo de Manila University Quezon City: Adarna House, 2004

People on Guerrero Street
Leoncio P. Deriada
Co-Winner, National Book Award, Fiction in a Foreign Language, 2004 People on Guerrero Street is a novel set in Guerrero Street of Davao City, during the school year 1953–1954. The author was himself a junior in the Davao City High School at that time. The book was cited by the Manila Critics Circle “for portraying life in a ‘small town’ transforming quietly into a big city, with every growing-up event magnified beyond reason and passion, where sex is mistaken for love and love for life, until death brings both protagonist and reader back to semi-urban life in an unreal city with real people in it.” Iloilo City: Seguiban Printers and Publishing House, 2004

Winner, National Book Award, Book Design, 2001 Book design by Onate and Perez, Inc.
This book is a compendium of the lessons that we must take with us beyond People Power 2.
