Waking Up To The Pattern Left by a Snail Overnight: Poems
by Jim Pascual Agustin

"The book's tone of calmness falls like a cashmere shawl about you as you sit reading this book of poems. That calmness makes more emphatic the occasional shard your eyes suddenly stumble across...If the poems in [Agustin's] new book, Waking Up to the Pattern Left by a Snail Overnight, represent his newest or newer work, then I'm glad since they're among the best poems I've read by him."

In Times Of Crisis, Jose B. Lingad: A Hero and a Martyr

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) salutes the family of Jose B. Lingad, especially his children, for sharing with us his life story. This book will serve as an inspiration to many and encourage us to make our lives useful in the community.

It is the mandate of the Commission to publish historical works about heroes and eminent Filipinos for the interests of the public, especially the younger generations, to learn and appreciate the noble deeds of our forefathers. This biographical book is among a growing number of books published by the NHCP. We believe that this will be a good reference for historical research, providing an in-depth analysis of the person's life, as well as their motivations and aspirations. Aside from the book, the Museo ni Jose B. Lingad, located in his hometown of Lubao, Pampanga, which is also under the care of the NHCP, is a concrete testament to his unwavering love for the country.

Courage Amidst Chaos: The Untold Story of Exploits, Heroism, and Enduring Legacy of WWII USAFFE Soldier and Panay Guerilla Major Jose G. Falco
by Erwin D. Bonifacio

Journalist Erwin Bonifacio's new book Courage Amidst Chaos offers a valuable glimpse into the rich instructive period of guerrilla resistance agains the Japanese occupation of the Philippine during World War II from the perspective of one of its too-often forgotten soldiers, Jose Falco. This labor of love and respect shines a light on the life of a self-described poor boy from a rural barrio of Tapaz in Panay's province of Capiz who, like hundreds of thousands of his countrymen, was called by history to sacrifice of himself for the freedom of others. Anchored upon Falco's unpublished memoir and archives available in the Philippines, this is the kind of historiography that supplies detailed tiles-of-narrative which, taken in totality, give the reader a comprehensive picture of the subject.

Muslims in the Philippines
by Cesar Adib Majul (Third Printing)

In his original preface to Muslims in the Philippines in 1970, Cesar Adib Majul highlights the various stages of history of the Muslim peoples. But what stands out when one reads this book more than fifty years later is Majul’s call to the Muslim youth in the Philippines, to whom he dedicates the book. His message is directed toward them, and ultimately all of us at present who share the responsibility for what he endeavored the book to achieve, specifically so that “a future generation of Filipinos would consider the struggle of the Muslim South as part of the struggle of the entire nation.” This reprinted edition thus serves to put necessary focus not merely on a people’s history in isolation, but on one that is embedded within the history of the larger national community.
