A Reading List: Books from the Philippines and about the Philippine Diaspora<\/h1>\n

by Katrina Gutierrez<\/h2>\n

I was thrilled when Marjorie asked me to put together a reading list of books from or about the Philippines written in English. We have a very young but robust children\u2019s publishing industry, with several authors and illustrators making their mark in different parts of the world. I sat down and began my list. That list grew\u2026and grew\u2026until I realized I needed to call on my academic mind to give some structure to my enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

So I focused on those books that I enjoyed reading (these inevitably reflect my interests, history and fantasy) and, given the blog\u2019s theme, that I feel answer the question, \u201cWhat is it like to grow up Filipino?\u201d These stories give an idea of the diverse backgrounds and experiences of Filipino children and the values and traits that form the core of our national identity: the importance of family, our resilience and optimism in the face of difficulty, and the way magic and faith continue to define our modern lives.<\/p>\n

Finally, I have a special section for the Filipino child ‘Growing Up Abroad\u2019. Nearly every Filipino has a friend or family member who is studying or working in another country. The Philippine diaspora has raised important questions of what it means to be Filipino and these books engage with the desire to develop a more inclusive and diverse world based on empathy and understanding.<\/p>\n

All of these books (save for one series) can be purchased from the publisher\u2019s website, Amazon or The Book Depository. The books with Filipino titles are bilingual.<\/p>\n

A Day in the Market\/Araw sa Palengke<\/strong><\/em>
\nwritten by May Tobias-Papa<\/a>, illustrated by Isabel Roxas<\/a>
\n(Adarna House<\/a>, 2008)<\/h3>\n

This sweet story captures the awe a young girl feels on her first visit to the market and the sweet bond formed with the mother who introduces her to this messy, smelly, colourful and ultimately fascinating place. Isabel Roxas very charmingly illustrates the scenes from a child\u2019s point of view.

<\/p>\n

\"'Naku,Naku, Nakuu, Nakuuu!<\/strong><\/em>
\nwritten by Nanoy Rafael<\/a>, illustrated by Sergio Bumatay III<\/a>
\n(Adarna House<\/a>, 2008\/2012)<\/h3>\n

This book won the 2013 IBBY-Sweden Peter Pan Prize. From their citation: T<\/em>he Filipino picture book Naku, nakuu, nakuuu! represents a part of the world not often seen in Swedish publishing for children. The theme, however, is universal: A child getting a younger sibling. The boy Isko\u2019s anxiety about the changes he suspects will take place in his family is expressed by the recurrent cry of \u201cNaku, nakuu, nakuuu!\u201d (roughly \u201cMy, my, oh my!\u201d).<\/em> The illustrations mirror the main character\u2019s apprehension, and visualize his fears in an imaginative and detailed way. Through a changing palette of colours the pictures follow Isko\u2019s mood from anxious bewilderment to the harmonious final page.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"MangMang Andoy’s Signs<\/strong><\/em>
\nwritten by Mailin Paterno<\/a>, illustrated by Isabel Roxas<\/a>
\n(Tahanan Books<\/a>, 2015)<\/h3>\n

When the Mayor complains to Mang Andoy that no one in town follows the rules, Mang Andoy takes on the challenge to create signs that would turn their willful community into law-abiding, and most of all, considerate citizens. Paterno\u2019s prose is simple yet rich, and Roxas\u2019 playful signs and whimsical street scenes complete this introduction to the subtle art of persuasion.

\"TheThe Brothers Wu and the Good Luck Eel<\/strong><\/em>
\nwritten by Fran Ng, illustrated by Arnel Mirasol<\/a>
\n(Tahanan Books<\/a>, 1998)<\/h3>\n

Based on a true story of two brothers whose boat collides on a rock while delivering a basket of handsewn slippers up the Pasig River, and the eel that brings them luck. This tale is set in Chinatown in the early 20th century and focuses on the Chinese community. An important book for early readers reminding us that the Philippines is a multicultural society.


\n<\/strong><\/em>Ang mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang ni Severino Reyes<\/em><\/strong> [The Stories of Grandmother Basyang by Severino Reyes]<\/strong><\/em>

\"Ang<\/p>\n

Christine S. Bellen and a host of illustrators create twenty picture-book retellings of the fairy tales of Grandmother Basyang, our very own Mother Goose. Many Filipinos are still surprised to learn that this beloved grandmother is a man named Severino Reyes<\/a>, a revolutionary playwright. Fairy tale enthusiasts will appreciate how Reyes combines traditional folklore with fairy tales from Europe and Asia to highlight Filipino resilience, ingenuity and creativity.

Pop Stories for Groovy Kids<\/strong><\/em>
\nwritten by Nick Joaquin<\/a> in collaboration with various artists
\n(Mr. & Ms. \u2013 out of print)<\/h3>\n

\"ANick Joaquin is a National Artist for Literature<\/a> and considered by many to be the greatest Filipino writer in the English language. Pop Stories for Groovy Kids <\/em>(divided into a Red and Green Series) is the title of his ten-book series for children, each one beautifully illustrated by the nation\u2019s top artists.<\/p>\n

Joaquin brought to his children\u2019s stories those qualities that set his adult works apart. His stories explore modern Filipino childhood by giving a contemporary twist to folk and fairy tales – underpinned by social and political commentary, for those who wish to look. He often pushes the horizons of stories and language by blending genres, and readers can see his enjoyment through his cheeky sense of humour.\u00a0 Many of us are still hoping for the day Pop Stories<\/em> will be reprinted \u2013 there is a Facebook page<\/a> dedicated to just that!<\/p>\n

\"Stories<\/p>\n

Until that day comes, check out Gotita de Dragon and Other Stories<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(Anvil Publishing), a collection of five of Joaquin\u2019s children\u2019s stories that were not included in the Pop Stories <\/em>series but were written in the same style. The British Library also has a copy of Joaquinesquerie: Myth a la Mod <\/strong><\/em>(1983), a compilation of all fifteen children\u2019s stories without the illustrations.<\/em> And if you would like to check out Joaquin\u2019s literature for adults, Penguin Classics will be reprinting his most famous works in the omnibus The Woman Who Had Two Navels and Tales of the<\/strong><\/em> Tropical Gothic<\/em><\/strong> in May 2017.<\/p>\n

\"Salingkit:Salingkit<\/em>: a 1986 Diary
\n<\/strong><\/em>by Cyan Abad-Jugo
\n(Anvil Publishing<\/a>, 2012)<\/h3>\n

A sweet story about a young girl\u2019s coming of age in an extraordinary year: the year of People Power against Martial Law, the Year of the Tiger, and the year of Halley\u2019s Comet. Abad-Jugo does a wonderful job juxtaposing the everyday concerns of a Depeche Mode fangirl \u2013 her anxieties about her mother, who works abroad; a missing father; and her too-cool friends \u2013with the momentous events happening in the country. The title \u2018salingkit\u2019 describes someone who is on the outside looking in \u2013 a feeling familiar to every teenager in the world.<\/p>\n

\"WomanWoman in a Frame<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Raissa Rivera Falgui
\n(Adarna House<\/a>, 2014)<\/h3>\n

This is an amazing book that interweaves the stories of two female artists from different periods in time. Ning Labrador is unexpectedly moved by an old portrait; thus begins her search for the unknown artist\u2019s identity, all while she struggles to find her own artistic style. Falgui brings to light the role women played in the Philippine Revolution against the Spanish colonizers and relates it to modern-day issues of equality.<\/p>\n

From Manila with Love<\/em><\/strong>: A Balikbayan Story<\/strong><\/em>
\nwritten by Amy Luna Capelle, illustrated by Auri Asuncion Yambao
\n(Tahanan Books<\/a>, 2015)<\/h3>\n

A charming story about a little girl\u2019s first visit to Manila told in rhyming verse, this book shows what it is like to \u2018come home\u2019 to the Philippines. A love letter to all Filipinos abroad and to anyone who wants to visit the country.

\"LakasLakas and the Makibaka Hotel\/Si Lakas at ang Makibaka Hotel<\/em><\/strong><\/em>
\nwritten by Anthony D. Robles, illustrated by Carl Angel<\/a>, translated by Eloisa D. de Jes\u00fas
\n(Children’s Book Press, Lee & Low Books. 2006\/2016)<\/p>\n

From PaperTigers.org: Anthony Robles narrates the story of a group of Filipino and Filipino-American tenants on the verge of being evicted from their residential hotel, the Makibaka; and how they are coaxed by young Lakas\u2014with just the right amount of ingenuity\u2014into joining forces and resisting eviction from their about-to-be-sold-to-developers hotel. The bilingual English\/Tagalog story was inspired by real-life events involving the tenants of the Trinity Plaza Apartments in San Francisco, and it brings forth the true meaning of Makibaka: the spirit of struggle which lives in the heart of Filpinos everywhere. Carl Angel’s illustrations perfectly capture the characters’ voices and indomitable spirit, and tap into the energy exuded by people when they stand up for their rights\u2026. readers of any age will be able to understand the idea of people fighting for the right to keep a roof over their heads. <\/em>(Aline Pereira, 2006)<\/p>\n

\"FreshFresh Off the Boat<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Melissa de la Cruz<\/a>
\n(HarperCollins, 2010)<\/h3>\n

The story of Vicenza, whose family relocates to America after they lose most of their wealth in the Philippines, offers the typical tale of a popular princess who becomes an outsider but from the perspective of a Filipino immigrant. A fun and quirky read, all teens will be able to relate to the tensions between Vicenza and her parents as she attempts to fit in while her parents offer their support yet desperately cling to their traditions. But for me, the biggest contribution of this book is that it develops a more inclusive American YA romance landscape by making a Filipino the romantic lead.<\/p>\n

Melissa de la Cruz is the author of the popular paranormal series the Bluebloods and the Au Pairs. It was not until I saw the semi-autobiographical novel Fresh Off the Boat <\/em>that I learned she is a Filipino-American.<\/p>\n



\"TallTall Story<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Candy Gourlay<\/a>
\n(David Fickling Books, 2010\/2016)<\/p>\n

Tall Story <\/em>has received accolades from all over the world, including a nomination for the Carnegie Medal<\/a>. This delightful exploration of the different meanings of \u2018tall story\u2019 centres on two siblings who grow up in very different worlds \u2013 Andi in cosmopolitan London and Bernardo in a small town in the Philippines \u2013 and the love for basketball that brings them together. Gourlay\u2019s strength is in the authenticity of each of the main characters\u2019 voices – Andi and Bernardo, and also their mother. Their different perspectives give readers a deeper reflection of the effects of the Philippine economic diaspora on families. They also sound like people I actually know, which delighted me no end. Gourlay\u2019s masterful interweaving of faith and folklore, miracles and modernity, also make this an impressive and very rich read.<\/p>\n

If you can choose only one book from this list, make it this one.<\/p>\n
