Books I’ve read, are reading, and want to read
Just a shortlist of Filipino books I’ve read or trying to finish so far. I enjoy various topics about the Philippines, but mostly history and food.
Illustration work for “The Bitter Melon”
Illustrated this book about a little ampalaya or bitter melon navigating their feelings. A great children’s book on mental health awareness.
Si Kalipay: Ug Ang Kinagamyang Tiktik by Christina Newhard
A small or gagmayng review of a beautiful children’s book with English and Cebuano translation.
A Lolong Time Ago: A Prehistory of the Philippines

Sangkap by Food Writers Association of the Philippines
“Sangkap” is a great way to discover Filipino food writers, especially those with a focus on a particular aspect of Filipino food.
Tikim by Doreen Fernandez
Many say Doreen Fernandez’s “Tikim” is a pivotal book in Filipino food literature. I’ll have to agree.
Taste of Control by R. Alexander D. Orquiza
Authored by Dr. Alex Orquiza, Taste of Control gives us a taste of what Filipinos were being taught both in schools and in advertising in regards to food.
