Mga Biyahe, Mga Estasyon
Journeys, Junctions

by Rio Alma

"A collection culled from Rio Alma’s last ten poetry books that individually and invariably include a poem or a group of poems on places where the poet has traveled. Among these poems, too, might be felt most the characteristic tension between home and destination, the past and the present, and the febrile twilight in-between where the poet-traveler finds himself. And because Rio Alma is Rio Alma, the persona in these poems of wandering, sometimes of displacement and alienation, is always Filipino.

A Political Journey

By Eva Estrada Kalaw

“There are positions in politics and in life that people of principle must never compromise,no matter how difficult or dangerous these may be. Now I tell everyone in this book the life that I lived, and a little bit of Philippine history as I saw it. And in this life, I meant every word and deed, and I have not regretted any of it. Being consistently in the opposition has never been an issue for me. For as long as all Filipinos benefit from it, and the greatest good of the country demands it, I will say it and do it; let history be my witness.  If I were to live my life again, I will live it exactly as I did. . . I will still do it my way.”

Fiction by Muslim Filipinos

Edited by Coeli Barry

This landmark collection brings together for the first time 22 short stories by nine Muslim Filipinos written over nearly seven decades, beginning in the 1940s.

Inside the Mass Movement
A Political Memoir
