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.

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.

Book Description
"The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Political Theory provides an entry point into this burgeoning field by both synthesizing and challenging the terms that motivate it. The handbook demonstrates how mainstream political theory can and must be enriched through attention to genuinely global, rather than parochially Euro-American, contributions to political thinking. Entries emphasize exploration of substantive questions about political life-ranging from domination to political economy to the politics of knowledge-in a range of global contexts, with attention to whether and how those questions may be shared, contested, or reformulated across differences of time, space, and experience. They connect comparative political theory to cognate disciplines including postcolonial theory, area studies, and comparative politics. Creative organizational tools such as tags and keywords aid in navigation of the handbook to help readers trace disruptions, thematic connections, contrasts, and geographic affinities across entries"--

“Halos lahat sa buhay ay meron na ako. Pero kung wala ka, hindi ako magiging masaya nang lubusan…” Tila isang panaginip si Ely Ordoñez para sa katulad ni Jhester Ann “Jhejhe” Pacinos—panaginip na nagkatotoo nang isang gabing may mangyari sa kanila at kinabukasan ay ikinasal siya rito. Pero nalaman ni Jhester Ann na minanipula pala iyon ng kanyang mga magulang na naghangad na makasilo siya ng isang malaking isda. Sa hiya ay nagkusa na siyang lumayo at hindi na nagpakita sa lalaki. Ngunit nagbunga ang gabing iyon na pinagsaluhan nila. Tatlong taon ang lumipas ay kinailangan na ni Jhester Ann ang tulong ni Ely para sa kambal nilang anak. Noon niya natuklasan na mahal na mahal niya ang lalaki, ngunit hindi na ito malaya…

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. (Sam thought that she had already healed from her painful past--the collapse of her dreams along with the collapse of her marital life--until her friend Dave asked her to cater to them. 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.
