Book Description
“Walang basagan ng trip,” is one of the vilest phrases in colloquial Tagalog, reflecting a long anti-critic tradition in Philippine arts. When artists use the term, they are asking critical voices to shut up and smile: Don’t criticize my work (my “trip”); we’re all just trying to be happy here. Shouldn’t art, after all, be fun? Being a critic and essayist was, one could say, my only means of self-expression. Indeed, I cannot create, so I just complain. I’ve made some complaints that have offended many (declaring OPM dead) and I’ve made some more popular ones (calling out Tito Sotto for being a sexist). And, yes, I am proud to call them complaints, because complainers believe that things are wrong and can be changed. Welcome to the world of the second-class citizen in the republic of arts and letters—the much-maligned “tagabasag ng trip.”Basagan ng Trip: Complaints About Filipino Culture and Politics.

A Poetic Mind

ISBN: 1984500120
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
My thoughts in words. This is a collection of poems that started as a hobby; a pastime. It talks about hopes and dreams, love and faith, courage and fears. It is my artistic expression of what I feel and observe; heart and mind combined. Life is not always 'a bed of roses'. Sometimes there are struggles that can make or break you. It is definitely our choice that decides our fate. These poems can inspire you to do great things in your daily lives. They can be a source of guidance and warning. We need to be very aware of what's happening around us and more importantly inside our own selves. I never believed before that writing can be very therapeutic until two years ago in 2016 when I started to write my first poem. Exploring and honing our God-given talents can be very fulfilling. I was surprised that I became addicted to poetry-writing and finally decided to publish my own book. This is my way of praising the Lord for His everlasting love and abundant blessings. TO GOD BE THE HIGHEST GLORY.

Akala ni Sam na naghilom na siya sa kanyang mapait na nakaraan--ang pagguho ng kanyang mga pangarap sa pagguho ng kanyang buhay may-asawa--hanggang nagpa-cater ang kaniyang kaibigang si Dave. Hindi niya inaakalang kasama pala sa magiging "menu" ay dalawang lalakeng susubukin ng husto ang kanyang puso.

She did not know that part of the "menu" was two men who would really test her heart.) Based on a true story, Samantha’s Heart depicts the plight of one woman in overcoming her past, her insecurities, and her selfishness to experience love by giving readers a peak of what’s going on in her heart.

Five Hundred Years without Love
Author: Alex Lacson
Publisher: Europa Edizioni
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
This is about a man, his lost love, the imperfect world he lives in, and how he finds his true love after he discovers his true self and life’s purpose when he realized that much of the world’s imperfections are caused by lack of love for others, fueled by greed and selfishness, which cause social cancer. Anton Hinirang was unhappy for the last twenty-four years, after losing his first and only love, when Marian’s parents forced her to marry someone with money and stature. Decades later, not even success could make Anton happy. When his unhappiness was complicated by tragic events that happened to his father and two siblings, caused by his country’s social ills, it woke and changed Anton forever. It led to his self-discovery of his life’s purpose, which in turn led him to find his true love. In its core, the story is about love, how its absence can render a person’s life unhappy and miserable, and how lack of love in people’s hearts, especially among leaders, can cause poverty and misery among many in society and the world. Alex Lacson is a bestselling author in the Philippines. He is known as a builder of hope in his country, especially among the youth. Alex believes that love is the answer to most of the problems confronting humanity today; love as expressed in kindness, compassion, generosity, fairness and justice. Though a lawyer by profession, Alex’s first passion is writing. He served as a newspaper columnist for seven years. He also worked as editor-in-chief of a lawyers’ magazine for a few years before he wrote in 2005 his first book, which became an instant national bestseller in the Philippines. Alex is a graduate of the College of Law, University of the Philippines. In 2002, he took a short summer program at Harvard Law School, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, US. He also took a leadership training at Haggai Institute, Singapore in 2007.

Jose Rizal

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
The global history of liberalism has paid too much attention to the West, neglecting the contributions of liberals from colonial nations. This book mines the thought of Filipino propagandist and novelist, Jose Rizal, to present a vision of liberalism for the colonized. It is both an introduction to Rizal and a treatise on rights, freedom, and tyranny in colonial contexts. Though a work on history, it responds to the illiberal present of rising authoritarianism and populism.
