Book Description
Tale of Two Pateros chronicles the collective endeavors and triumphs in achieving sisterhood unity of the peoples of Pateros City in Washington State and Pateros in the Philippines, sparked by the circumstantial encounter and curious exploration of a group of Filipino-American travelers motoring back from a Canada visit. Originally envisioned as the last chapter of Pateros in My Spirit collegial memoir book, the author spun it into a separate pictorial publication after townmates (who love being called ka-Paterosinos) enormously contributed a rich photographic collection of interrelated events and even entailing the funding to produce this touching love offering to their cherished homeplace back in the Philippines and the other Pateros enjoyed fondly as a paradise by the Cascade Mountains in the Okanogan Valley. The two Pateros, though oceans apart and linked only in 1900 in name by a homecoming Washington military officer veteran of the Spanish-American War, rediscovered each other’s history, heritage, and culture by majesty of diplomacy and blossomed friendship, formalized during the signing of sisterhood agreement amid the momentous celebration of the one hundredth year anniversary of the founding of Pateros City in 2013. Tale of Two Pateros is a clarion saga of that attainment of accord and unification preserved in engaging narratives and a feast of images offered to the future generations of the two Pateros and enticed readers.

Book Description
Pateros In My Spirit relives cherished fond memories and blissful narratives in the small river town of Pateros in the Pearl of the Orient Seas, that is the Philippines. This passion book captivates nostalgic aura and flavor of the decades 1950 to 1970 replete with baby boomer heritage, traditions, poetry, arts, and experiences expressed through the author’s memoir and heartily enriched by town mates’ contributed family stories and vintage photographs that eventually made it a love offering book for the appreciation of present and future generations. The storytelling’s folksy shift from light wordsmith anecdotes to historic accounts makes the book an enlightening reading experience harboring on the quality of life during the period also best portrayed by a montage of images already lost to invasive urbanization. The collective project sprang from the author’s shooting of his Soul of Fandango documentary film which revealed old town folks respondents’ endearing vivid stories better published in a book rather than presented in flickering celluloid screen. Old and young, friends of friends, and strangers in the true Filipino bayanihan (unity) spirit even raised funds for the publication of the coffee table hybrid Pateros In My Spirit and its twin book, Tale of Two Pateros, just to get their momentous chronicles pronounced and recollections preserved, if not appreciated, outside of their world. Enjoy the sojourn to memory lane of the people who dearly call themselves Paterosinos.

Book Description
Celebrating the centennial of his birth, the first-ever U.S. publication of Philippine writer Nick Joaquin’s seminal works, with a foreword by PEN/Open Book Award–winner Gina Apostol A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Nick Joaquin is widely considered one of the greatest Filipino writers, but he has remained little-known outside his home country despite writing in English. Set amid the ruins of Manila devastated by World War II, his stories are steeped in the post-colonial anguish and hopes of his era and resonate with the ironic perspectives on colonial history of Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa. His work meditates on the questions and challenges of the Filipino individual’s new freedom after a long history of colonialism, exploring folklore, centuries-old Catholic rites, the Spanish colonial past, magical realism, and baroque splendor and excess. This collection features his best-known story, “The Woman Who Had Two Navels,” centered on Philippine emigrants living in Hong Kong and later expanded into a novel, the much-anthologized stories “May Day Eve” and “The Summer Solstice” and a canonic play, A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino. As Penguin Classics previously launched his countryman Jose Rizal to a wide audience, now Joaquin will find new readers with the first American collection of his work. Introduction and Suggestions for Further Reading by Vicente L. Rafael For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

The tales presented here are divided into animal stories, how and why stories, tales of enchantment, trickster tales, and scary stories.
