JOYA DRAWINGS
Introduction by Leonides V. Benesa
Photography by Dick Baldovino 125 plates
“Jose T. Joya is so fixed as a painter, especially as an artist painting in the
tradition of the abstract expressionism of New York, that this book of
drawings and sketches will come as a surprise to many. But those who know
him as a draftsman or calligrapher as well as a painter, will tell us that he is
skilled in linear dynamics as he is in the qualities of synergistic paint.”
The book, 8 3/8” x 11 1/2”, consists of 208 pages, 131 colored and 286
black and white. There were all in all 417 plates used.

PHILIPPINE HOSPITALITY
A Gracious Tradition of the East
by Lily Gamboa O’Boyle and Reynaldo G. Alejandro
Food and the home are critical parts of Philippine hospitality, their
meanings intertwined by the joy of bringing people together. The book
features the numerous occasions and celebrations where hospitality is
found at its best, being careful to capture the beauty of everyday places
and people where the true soul of the Filipino hospitality emanates.
PACIFIC CROSSINGS
A Philippine Cookboook by Lily Gamboa O’Boyle
The 100 recipes presented in this book are based on a cuisine shaped by
the influences of the many countries that have at one time or another
occupied this island nation. 400 years of Spanish rule, more than half a
century of American occupation and the continual presence of China,
Malay, Polynesian and Japanese influence have produced a cuisine that is
varied, colorful and unique.
Illustrated with more than 50 color photographs shot by Bill McConnell,
the book will delight the eye and wet the appetite of any reader who has
ever dreamed of crossing the Pacific.
STREETS of MANILA
By Luning Ira and Isagani R. Medina
This is a book for people who want to know who-in-heaven’s name their
street was named after. It tells what each Manila street was named during
the Spanish time, what it was named during the American period and what
it’s called today.
It is a book you’ll always thought we needed but were afraid no one would
have the patience to write.
This book is about the war exploits of President Ferdinand Marcos: how
they happened and where they happened. Here are the recounted deeds
that earned him the reputation of having been the most decorated Filipino
veteran of World War II.
** the books were reportedly burned after the Edsa Revolution. Includes
medals that were rumored to be fake. The book was never sold.

History will surely rate Feb 22, 23, 24 and 25 as red-letter days: the time the
Filipino people shook off the yoke of a fascist dictatorship. This book is
“instant history” culled from news reports, various testimonies of VIPs,
reminiscences of private individuals and personal experiences. What results
is a graphic projection of those four fateful days, a panoramic view that
shifts from Palace to street corner, and from Ministry office to barricade. In
other words, you are always where the action is, whether at high noon or at
midnight, during those four days of our liberation. To enhance the text, there
are over a hundred photos taken during the very hours of the revolution.

It was a fiesta, a tremendous, joyous, cheering, dancing and singing fiesta,
among a people whose idea of the fiesta is always linked with mysteries of
the faith.

The Filipinos
Portrait of a People
by Manuel D. Duldulao
Who are the Filipinos? What are they like? What makes them
tick? These and many more questions find their answers in this
book that is by far the most absorbing and most illuminating
portrait of an interesting but often baffling, people.
Did you know that we imported ice from America before 1899?
That egg white was mixed in the mortar of our earliest church
walls? Why are papaya trees always found in convent gardens?
Why do Filipinos put their eggshells on banggera?
At last, here is a book to tell you all this and much, much more.
A collector’s item for anyone interested in Filipiniana, The
