My literary companions on the road

What's a trip to the Philippines, without trips to the bookstores ?
Here's what I packed in my my maleta and what will be keeping me company for a while:

In Manila, I picked up:

1. Sexuality and the Filipina, Lilia Quindoza Santiago
2. Kapwa: The Self in the Other, Katrin De Guia
3. A Cultural Worker's First Manual: Essays in Appreciating the Everyday, Felice Prudente Sta. Maria

In Bontoc, I was happy to find:

1. Gender Roles in Traditional Agricultural Societies Case Studies, Caridad B. Fiar-od
2. Besao: Traditional Knowledge on Spiritual Beliefs: Its Contributions to Sustainable Development
3. Igorota magazine's issue on Globalization and Enivornment and Women and Work

Lastly, a piece I will treasure, given to me by Pureza Dulaycan Saab:
Old Tales of Tadian- a project of the Tadian Senior Citizens Federation

Yeah!
