In the ninth book of the Looking Back series, Ambeth Ocampo discovers
stories behind various artifacts—among them a table with the carving of
a demon figure, death blankets and sleeping mats, toothpick holders—and
food, such as the famous Baliuag chicharon.
Should the Philippine Independence be celebrated on June 12 or on the
fourth of July? Are we really “independent”? Looking Back 11 traces the
roots of the debate on our Independence Day, and also features stories
on the National Anthem, the country’s first president, Gen. Emilio
Aguinaldo, and the Philippine-American War and later friendship.
