Yup, I Am That Girl
Maine Mendoza - 2017
Every page is a part of who I am. Every word is a piece of my mind and heart. You may have good and bad things to say about me, but let me ask you this... Do you really know me? I express myself best through writing. Dive deeper into my dreams, fears and everything in between. What you’ll read is 100% real and written from the heart. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. At kapag hindi niyo na-enjoy, bawi ako sa Part 2. Charot!
Surgeons Do Not Cry
Ting Tiongco - 2008
But as it is often said nothing ever really happened unless it is written down. There are so many stories to tell of the agonies and triumphs of both doctors and patients, who have peopled this venerable institution through the ages. I wrote the stories because I firmly believe that healing is a mutual process; that the healer is very often himself healed as he goes about caring for the ailing person. So the stories bite both ways.”
The Hand of the Enemy
Kerima Polotan - 1962
The Philippines: A Continuing Past
Renato Constantino - 1978
That past assumed a new dimension when seen from the people's viewpoint. The present work undertakes to prove that the essence of these past relations has persisted in the present era. The authors have therefore chosen to call this period The Continuing Past in order to emphasize the fact that while there are apparent changes, the new refinements of external control and exploitation merely conceal the persisting subjection. The authors express the hope that their "re-examination of the Philippine neocolonial experience...and the brief focus on evolving American imperialist objectives and the techniques used to attain them may not only reveal this historical period in a new light but may help to provide the basis for new historic initiatives on the part of the people in the attainment of their final liberation."As in the previous volume, events and personalities are subjected to stringent analysis from the point of view of the people's larger interest, thus giving the layman a better grasp of the forces that influence contemporary society. The process of demystification proceeds with greater intensity as sacred cows are re-evaluated in terms of the people's long-range objectives.The Continuing Past is a very relevant work; and also irreverent as the previous writings of Constantino have been.
An Anarchy of Families: State and Family in the Philippines
Alfred W. McCoy - 1993

Illustrated with many original photographs, maps, and genealogies, this book is a valuable resource for anyone who seeks to understand the modern Philippines.
