"BANGON: Antolohiya ng mga Dulang Mapanghimagsik" ni Glecy C. Atienza, Bienvinido L. Lumbera, at Galileo S. Zafra

Mula sa Paunang Salita:

"Bilang pakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Sentenaryo ng Rebolusyong 1896, naisipan naming magsagawa ng isang proyektong magsasalin ng ningning ng diwa ng rebolusyon sa kasalukuyang panahon. At ang pagisisnop ng karanasan ng mga grupong pandulaan na nakisangkot at patuloy na nakikisangkot sa pagsusulong ng tunay na pagbabago sa lipunan na inakala naming mainam na proyekto para sa gayong layunin."

"Ang antolohiyang ito ay patunay lamang na ang diwa ng rebolusyon at paghihimagsik ay patuloy paring pumipintig sa iba't ibang anyo ng madulang pamamahayag. Patuloy pa rin ang pagkilos para ibangon ang isang tunay na malaya at makatarungang lipunan para sa lahat."

Ricky Lee's "Si Amapola sa 65 na Kabanata"

"Lahat tayo hati, di nga lang nakakalipad ang iba."

From the back cover:

"Aswang ka ba?

Narinig mo na ba ang alamat ng bakla?

May pag-asa pa ba ang Pilipinas?"

Eleksyon, 2010. Isang baklang impersonator, si Amapola, ang naging manananggal at nakatanggap ng propesiya na siya ang itinakdang magliligtas sa Pilipinas. Ang naghatid ng balita: si Emil, isang pulis na Noranian. Ang pasimuno ng balita: si Sepa, ang lola sa tuhod ni Amapola, na nanggaling pa sa panahon ng Kastila at may unrequited love noon kay Andres Bonifacio.
Ang ikalawang nobela ni Ricky Lee ay isang hati-hating tingin sa buhay at pag-ibig ni Amapola at ang kanyang mga mahal sa buhay, at sa buhay at pag-ibig na rin ng mga taong gusto nating pakialaman, dito sa bansang tinatawag nating Pilipinas, sa isang panahong halos humihingi tayo ng mga kababalaghan. At donuts.

"Para Kay B" by Ricky Lee

NOW AVAILABLE!

"Me quota ang pag-ibig. Sa bawat limang umiibig ay isa lang ang magiging maligaya. Kasama ka ba sa quota?"

Blurbs from the back of the book:

"Weeks after reading the novel, Ricky Lee's characters continue to haunt me... [T]hey mesmerize, seduce, and provoke. There is hardly anything orthodox about them or the style in which their stories were written, but they are all so compelling because at the core of Ricky's work is the universal, irresistible yearning to find love—no matter how flawed, painful, or even dangerous—as long as it makes us hope that it's worth it. And it is. I wish I could film this novel, but not before I relish re-reading it again and again for its literary wizardry!" - Marilou Diaz-Abaya, Filmmaker and educator

 "Namumukod ang mga akda ni Ricky Lee sa lalim ng pagdalumat at mapangahas na teknik. Nangunguna rin siya sa masikap na paglalapat ng teoryang pampolitika sa kanyang mga binabasa at isinusulat." - Bienvenido Lumbera, National Artist for Literature

"Ricky Lee is one of the best Filipino writers ever, bar none. This long overdue novel will prove that he rules on the page as well as on the screen." - Ely Buendia, Musician

 "Hindi ko mabitiwan and nobelang ito maski ihing-ihi na ako. Minsan paumpisa na ang Boy & Kris at hinahanap na ako ni Kris, but I just couldn't stop reading. Ricky Lee is one of the best storytellers of this generation. Formidable and vulnerable at the same time. His fiction is truthful. Para Kay B is hilarious, painfully real, infinitely fascinating, riveting and is deftly crafter by a master. The characters are totally insane, just like you, me and Love." - Boy Abunda, Media personality

Three Centuries of Binondo Architecture: 1594-1898: A Socio-Historical Perspective by Lorelei D.C. De Viana

From the back cover:

Binondo is a district with a rich historic past. It was the most important arrabal outside of Manila during the Spanish colonial period, mainly because of its role in the socio-economic history of the Philippines. Its story revolves around the Chinese for whom the little hilly island of Minondoc and its adjacent caballeria by the beach were appropriated. But, it is also the story of the mestizos and the natives who made Binondo into a rich, multi-cultural society since its conception as a mission field in 1594 to the end of Spanish rule in 1898.

This book attempts to present the architecture that evolved in Binondo from 1594 to the end of Spanish rule in 1898 through a review of the district’s history. It tries to portray how society can affect the development of architecture and how architecture itself becomes a mirror of society.

Based on archival and secondary source researches, this study hoped to become a reference tool for architectural historians and students, and to all those who appreciate the importance of historic towns and districts as extant mementos from our rich cultural past.

Philippine Cultural Disasters by R. Kwan Laurel

Philippine Cultural Disasters by R. Kwan Laurel.  This book looks at different credentials-dispensing institutions and individuals in the Philippines, revealing their ideological coordinates in a world where commodity fetishism and capitalist accumulation have become the norm, even among writers and academics supposedly opposed to capitalism.  This collection shows us that issues surrounding the dominant culture and the dissent against it are subjects that must be discussed and debated vigorously.
