Did Rizal write “Sa Aking Mga Kabata”? Did Bonifacio go to school? Is
Rizal the real Jack the Ripper? And just where do Bonifacio’s bones lie?
Written in our national hero’s 151st birthday, Looking Back 5 features
anecdotes about Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio, two of the most
prominent in the Philippine roster of heroes.
Storm Chasers features stories about the different storms, natural and
political, that tried to ravage the Philippines but with the latter surviving,
though not without drastic consequences. Among the essays are those
on meteorology and typhoon coverage—plus a “prediction” of the
supertyphoon Yolanda, monsoons, the Trece Martires (and Quince, too),
Marcos and Martial Law, 19th-century Philippine elections, and aporto in
artist Guillermo Tolentino’s home.
