Becoming A Guru: An Introduction to Advanced Research / Ramon K. Katigbak Pasig City: Anvil Publishing Inc., 2008 199p,; 22cm ISBN-13: 9789712719400 $ 15.95 The real-world research that supports a manager’s organizational vision is different in kind from the academic research that produces a thesis or scholarly article. Unfortunately, the latter is usually the only kind taught in school. The object of real-world research is not to describe or predict, but to influence managerial behaviour. Thus the real-world researcher must develop additional skills, notably those related to creativity, persuasion and presentation. This book, based on Dr.Katigbak’s decades of experience in government, private business and academe, attempts to impart these skills, and in the process to set the researcher on the path to becoming a management guru. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Power to Govern/Gregorio S.

interpellation and interpretation. To unravel the mystique and to understand the creation of the mystical icon that is Fernando Poe Jr. is this book’s attempt. There are very few writers who have interpreted events and happenings with a critical and cultural framework. Alfonso B. Deza brings to the reader the positioning of film as text and presents its context. Deza is very much in a position to give his interpretation of his finding, as he is an actor who has played characters in film. He is therefore familiar with the aspects of film production and is part of the environment of his study. He likewise grew up watching movies of FPJ and has therefore positioned himself as participant and at the same time researcher/writer in this scholarly pursuit. This book is rich and interesting reading for students of Film, Sociology, Anthropology, Literature, Humanities, Political Science, Communication, and the Arts. It is significant contribution to the field of Film and Film Studies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cinema of Manuel Conde / Nicanor G.

It is today’s fiesta guidebook.

Competing Views and Strategies on Agrarian Reform: International Perspective aims to broaden the discussion by focussing on international political, policy and theoretical debates, as well as on some empirical cases from different countries that are relevant to the study of agrarian issues in the Philippines. Competing Views and Strategies on Agrarian Reform: Philippine Perspective aims to deepen the discussion by focusing on the Philippine agrarian reform experience, but drawing lessons that are relevant to theory-building and to policy discourse and political actions in situations elsewhere. The overarching theme of the twin books is “critical thinking”: conventional assumptions are interrogated, popular propositions critically examined, and new ways of questioning proposed.

Kwan Laurel Manila: Kaisa Para Sa Kaunlaran, Inc, 2008 122p,; 21cm ISBN-13: 9789718857359 $ 10.00 These stories are about the Chinese in the Philippines and Chinese Filipinos before they were stereotyped as wealthy businessmen. In these stories we see the effects of global forces on the lives of simple people who want to live in dignity amidst racism, poverty, and persecution. Underneath the comic and painful situations, we read about how generous sacrificed their lives for the hope of a better future, how identities are formed in the crucible of national and international anxieties and how the present generation of Filipinos who are reaping the fruits of immigrant sacrifices may have too easily forgotten what it means to be children of the diaspora. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Appropriation of Colonial Broadcasting: A History of Early Radio in the Philippines, 1922- 1946 / Elizabeth L Enriquez Quezon City: The University of the Philippine Press, 2008 235p,; 23cm Includes 1 CD-ROM ISBN-13: 9789715425483 $ 19.95 For the first time, a construction of the history of early radio in the Philippines is attempted through the author’s painstaking examination of archival records, extant publications, and private memorabilia as well as interviews of radio broadcasters during the period. Author Elizabeth L Enriquez, who includes a collection of rare music and sound recordings in the supplementary compact disk, carefully assesses radio broadcasting in the country from its birth in 1922 until the declaration of Philippine Independence from the United States in 1946-in the context of colonization and war-and proposes that Filipino broadcasters did not simply imitate the American broadcasters who introduced the cultural practice but also appropriated the medium to claim space for the expression of the local culture. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SDK Militant But Groovy: Stories of Samahang Demokratiko ng Kabataan / Soliman M Santos Jr. & Paz Verdades M Santos Pasig City: Anvil Publishing Inc., 2008 182p,; 22cm ISBN-13: 9789712720291 In English and Tagalog $ 16.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re-Shaping the World: Philip II of Spain and His Time / Damaso De Lario (Ed) Quezon City: Ateneo De Manila University Press, 2008 164p,; 23cm

Jurilla Quezon City: Ateneo De Manila University Press, 2008 264p,; 23cm ISBN-13: 9789715505635 $ 19.95 This pioneering work is a study on the history of the book in the Philippines, with a focus on literary publishing and Tagalog literary bestsellers of the twentieth century. It spans more than four centuries of publishing, from 1593 when the book was printed in the country to 2003 when the first nationwide survey on reading attitudes and preferences was conducted. Through its case studies of twentieth-century Philippine literary forms and texts that may be referred to as the bestselling books in their time, the work both highlights and puts in wider context the publishing, manufacturing, distribution, reception, and survival of these bestsellers, and their impact on and relation to the conditions and circumstances in the culture, society, politics and economics of the time. This study is, in a sense, an expedition. It is an initial, painstaking effort at exploring the immense terrain of the history of the book in the Philippines, with the hope that it will leave deep enough tracks for other explorers to follow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Encuentro: Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day / Luisa T Camagay (Ed) Manila : Spanish Program for Cultural Cooperation, 2008 233p.; 23cm ISBN-13: 9789719417705 $ 19.95 Selection of Papers presented during the conference held on June 25-27 2003 on how Spanish Legacy has left an indelible mark in the life of the Filipino. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joys of Dislocation: Mindanao, Nation and Region / Patricio N Abinales Pasig City: Anvil Publishing Inc., 2008 197p,; 22cm ISBN-13: 9789712720109 $ 24.50 The peripatetic nature of the essays in this collection-representing over a decade of commentary on the affairs in the three zones of Mindanao, the Philippines and the Southeast Asian region-comes from being written by someone who has never settled down in any of these zones but who has always gone in and out of each of them. They reflect a peculiar position that doesn’t exactly fit critics’ black-and-white world of insiders and outsiders. Dislocation has given PATRICIO N. ABINALES a chance to argue that Mindanao has always been central to the nation’s formation, to think about Mindanao and the Philippines not from within but from without, and to view their stories comparatively and from a regional perspective. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before Gringo: History of the Philippine Military 1830-1972 / Donald L Berlin

Mary Martin Booksellers Philippines – June 2008 Page 9

Pasig City: Anvil Publishing Inc., 2008 155p,; 22cm ISBN-13: 9789712720932 $ 16.95 This vintage book takes issues with the popular conception that the military politicization began only under Marcos by contending that it actually has a longer history. Combining a meticulous analysis of archival data, newspaper reports, and dissertations, Berlin tracks the history of civilian-military relations since the independence, showing the extent to which the AFP, or at least its senior staff, played partisan politics to lobby, defend, and promote the institution’s interests. The AFP had been in and out of the barracks as early as the first decade of the New Republic, and what Marcos did was simply to continue the practice of using it as an active collaborator. Gringo et al. were therefore not the original but mere heirs to an earlier process. This book tells where and when the military politicization began, and thus gives us readers a better understanding of the situation. This hopefully will allow us to discern the pathways that the military will carve in the near future. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Fire on the Island: A Fresh Look at the First Mass Controversy / Greg Hontiveros Butuan City: Butuan City Historical & Cultural Foundation, Inc., 2008 118p,; 23cm ISBN-13: 9789718860038 $ 14.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One Man’s Century: The story of Victor Alcantara and his hometown, Cainta / Victor C Alcantara Philippines: Alcantara Realty Development Inc., 2006 194p,; 24cm $ 30.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of Laughter and Tears: A Memoir / Sarah K Joaquim San Francisco: Carayan Press, 2007 209p,; 22cm ISBN-13: 9780971206656 $ 18.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ferdinand E.

Marcos. This book renders a fresh perspective on the relationship between the civilian administration and the military echeion during the Spanish period. Whether you are pro- or anti-Marcos, the book is one engaging and enlightening account that will free the readers of their biases. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ferdinand E.

Mary Martin Booksellers Philippines – June 2008 Page 10

ISBN-13: 9789710474011 $ 60.00 Professor Agpalo’s monograph, Ferdinand E. Marcos: A Hero in History, chronicles not only the life and times of President Marcos, but more important the positive contributions, achievements and legacies of the Marcos administration especially in the promulgation of numerous beneficial and innovative decrees or laws. In retrospect, it is significant to note that of the more than2000 laws promulgated under the Marcos regime, only less than 100 have been repeated. This is a testament to President Marcos’s vision and statesmanship. Agpalo’s book focuses on two important crises that President Marcos had to confront with courage and resolve: The crisis of modernization and the crisis of martial law. How Marcos successfully hurdle these twin crises is the book’s center of interest. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stamps of the Philippines: Historical and Topical Collections 1854-2004 / Lisa Mapua Philippines: Philippine Small & Medium Business Development Foundation, 2008 218p,; 24 x 31cm ISBN-13: 9789719246411 $ 140.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Baguio City Yearbook 2008 / Chi Balmaceda Gutierrez, Jack Kintanar Carino Baguio City: Heritage Promotions, 2008 98p,; 28cm ISSN: 1908-6024 $ 25.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Portraits of a Tangled Relationship: The Philippines and the United States / Jose Maria A Carino, Jose Y Dalisay Jr. et al Manila: Ars Mundi Philippine, 2008 248p,; 31cm $ 140.00 This is about the history of the engagement and entanglement of both nations since the Americans occupied the country in 1898. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Law Guilty: The Verdict of the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal Second Session on the Philippines Quezon City: Ibon Foundation, 2007 58p,; 22cm $ 7.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2007 Year-End Report on the Human Rights Situation in the Philippines (Updated Version) Quezon City: Karapatan, 2008 56p,; 28cm $ 10.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Literature Our Scene So Fair: Filipino Poetry in English, 1905 to 1955 / Gemiho H.

Bernard, S. J Manila: Ateneo De Manila University Press, 2008 161p,; 23cm ISBN-13: 9789715505413 $ 14.00 Three decades after his first stories were published, a quarter of a century after his first novel, Hemingway in his old age writes of an “old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.” On the eighty-fifth day he goes farther out to sea than before, and then for three days and nights he battles mightily with a mighty fish. It is a monster fish, eighteen feet long, great, beautiful, indomitable, but it is finally conquered by the equally indomitable spirit of a weakening old man….. It is true that the story ends on a despondent note: the old man has lost not only his fish but even the glory of his achievement. Some tourists come and in their abysmal ignorance dismiss the enormous skeleton as that of a shark! But the old man is unaffected by the inane remarks of ignorant tourists. He is asleep and he is dreaming of lions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Short Stories / F.

O’G Anderson Quezon City: Ateneo de Manila University Press, 2008 94p,; 23cm ISBN-13: 9789715505550 $ 12.00 This book examines Jose Rizal’s great novels, Noli me tangere and El filibusterismo, through a hitherto untried quantitative analysis of the scope and evolution of their political and social vocabulary, as well as their use of Tagalog and the lengua de Parian. Special attention is given to which characters (including the Narrator) use their terms and languages, and with what frequency. The study aims to throw new light on Rizal’s changing political consciousness and use of his native language. The most important questions raised are: the shifting nature of Rizal’s intended readership; the qeographical location of the birth of a Filipino identity in the modern sense; the odd concealment of the Chinese mestizos combined with a growing hostility to the Chinese as an alien race, the level and ambit of the author’s Chinese sophistication, and the complicated relationship between the colonial-international aspects of Spanish, the ethnic-nationalist claims of Tagalog and the emergence of a democratic cross-class lingua franca, especially in Manila. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Joe: A Slice of the city- an American in Manila…… / Ted Lerner Philippines: Corregidor Peace Institute Press (CPIP), 2007 270p,; 22cm ISBN-13: 9789719383406

$19.95 It’s the phrase that greets every foreign guy in the Philippines on a daily basis. And nobody personifies the meaning of this moniker better than Ted Lerner, an American whose popular, freewheeling column “Hey, Joe” has been entertaining readers in the Philippines and abroad for nearly a decade. Here he presents a collection of his best Manila stories, a kaleidoscope of funny and bizarre incidents, offbeat characters and keen observations dished up by a wide-eyed foreigner living in a city exploding with life, unfathomable urban chaos and a story around every corner. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mindoro and Beyond: Twenty-One Stories / N.V.M.

marginalized and often ignored ethnolinguistic groups and those whose perceptions are often blurred by westernized lifestyles and an education that has buried indigenous thought.
