About the Book:
This book is a much-needed introduction to the efforts of Bro. Karl Gaspar in forging a Mindanawon/Lumad indigenous philosophy. Bro. Karl’s resistance against U.S. imperialism and its local oligarchs has inspired multitudes, and the author’s initiative in calling attention to the plight of the Lumads in Mindanao is a noteworthy read. This book hopes to launch a spark that will kindle a fire of debate, argumentation, and inquiry into the neoliberal legitimization of our neocolonial predicament. – E. San Juan, Jr., University of Connecticut

While fleeing Davao City to the rural area of Tibungko, Pining met another suitor, Miguel Salvador. They decide to marry and after the war, the couple returned to the city and raised a family. They lived in various places of southern Mindanao, encountering Moro and Lumad communities. During the Martial Law era, Pining and Miguel were drawn to resist authoritarianism as their children Barang, Dadong, Ellen and Kaloy (who serves as the book’s narrator) grew up and became activists in college. As she assisted nuns in Task Force Detainees, Pining became a surrogate mother to many imprisoned young activists until her health eventually failed and was diagnosed with cancer. Pining’s final days were marked by a reckoning of past events while searching for reconciliation and redemption.

About the Book:
Ang librong ito ay nagpapatunay na maaari muling pagsamahin ang pilosopiya at ang tula hindi lamang dahil pilosopo at propesor ng pilosopiya ang may akda kundi bunsod na rin ng intensyon, disenyo at hiraya ng manunulat. Ang mangha sa Ingles ay “amazement” o “astonishment” at ito ay sinasalamin ng mga kalipunan ng tula ni Jovito Cariño. Nandoon ang mangha sa kabalintunaan ng buhay, sa magkakambal na hilahil-saya na dulot ng pag-ibig, sa mga magagandang lugar, sa mga sambit ng nananalangin, sa mga dasal at siphayo ng mga banal at mistiko. Nasa maraming bagay ang mangha ngunit higit sa lahat nasa pluma ito ng makata. – mula kay Dr. Joyce Arriola, University of Sto. Tomas

Cardinal Advincula, Archbishop of Manila, writes that "the fruitfulness of the Franciscan mission is one of the innumerable reasons for our celebration of 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines. Their creativity in transmitting the faith to the natives is a lesson modern Catholic missionaries must learn that they may be guided in today's complicated digital world."

"In this vital collection of essays, Paolo Bolaños affords new insights on Nietzsche’s often complex yet profound ideas in this vital collection of essays. Novel interpretations of Nietzsche’s metaphysics, epistemology, politics, and ethics are clearly and sagaciously presented, clarified, and defended. The most significant value of the volume, however, is its ability to bring Nietzsche into a fruitful and provocative conversation with the philosophical Canon. The result is a rich, diverse work that will pay dividends for scholars working in the scholarship for years to come.” – from Hans-Georg Moeller, University of Macau

About the Book:
This novel is a coming-of-age story set in the small Davao town of New Tubigon where a young man, Gabriel "Gabby" Gomez, is awakened to face the many challenges of adulthood. His experiences highlight his realization of his family's and neighborhoods' problems, the challenges involving Moro and Lumad people, and the acceptance that life has two faces – life and death; joy and pain. Set from April 1962 to March 1963, against the backdrop of Communist Cuba and the Vietnam War, Morante's novel will remind you of how significant the difference was at that time compared to the present. As readers follow the events in Gabby's and the residents of New Tubigon's lives, when the problems of land grabbing, class struggle, and environmental violations rise, it is clear what the future of the country and the entire world will become. Gabby and his friends will leave not only their youth, but also their innocence as two seasons collide: planting and harvesting, laughter and mourning, greeting and saying goodbye.

About the Book:
This book is about the story of a Catholic priest of forty years who, at the late age of sixty-three, left the ministry and was married to Espy de Vega after being dispensed from sacred orders, including celibacy, by Pope Benedict XVI in October 2010. But more than just a love story, Meñez’ book emphasizes the equality in dignity of all Christian faithful (both clergymen and laypeople) based on the grace of baptism. Having the privileged vantage point of both views from the altar and from the pew, he examines some painful yet essential truths that the Catholic Church needs to face in the task of renewal. Although the author is not against celibacy, his personal journey offers an intriguing insight into this topic.

About the Book:
With the recent developments in the penal procedural laws in the Church, one might find it cumbersome to find a cohesive penal procedural system, particularly for those not trained in Canon Law. This book aims to provide Bishops, those who assist them, and Canon Law practitioners and students with a practical guide to the penal procedures on the delicts against morals reserved to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It will serve as a handy companion to see the connections between the procedural penal laws laid down in the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the recent universal penal norms on the protection of minors and vulnerable adults.

This work is also a critical look at history, the cost of growth, and the marginalizing dynamics experienced by the indigenous peoples and the poor. Karl relates a narrative of shifts and changes without losing sight of the issues inherent in discourses involving the human community." – Fr.
