 Pasyon and Revolution: Popular Movements in
the Philippines, 1840-1910
By: Reynaldo Clemeña Ileto
Pasyon and Revolution, unlike earlier Philippine historical writings that use largely
the Filipino educated elite's categories of meaning, seeks to interpret Philippine popular
movements in terms of perceptions of the masses themselves. Ileto submits to varied kinds
of analyses standard documents as well as such previously ignored sources as folk songs,
poems, and religious traditions, in order to articulate hidden or suppressed features of the
thinking of the masses. Paramount among the conclusions of the book is that the pasyon,
or native account of Christ's life, death and resurrection, provided the cultural framework
of movements for change. The book places the Philippine revolution in the context of
native traditions, and explains the persistence of radial peasant brotherhoods in this
century. Seen as continuous attempts by the masses to transform the world in their terms
are the various movements that the book analyzes - Apolinario de la Cruz's Cofradia de
San Jose, Andres Bonifacio's Katipunan, Macario Sakay's Katipunan, Felipe Salvador's
Santa Iglesia, the Colorum Society, and other popular movements during the Spanish,
revolutionary, and American colonial periods.

Tikim: Essays on Philippine Food and Culture

By: Doreen G. Fernandez

What's Cooking? "The old and the new. The provincial and the pop. The slow and the
fast. The past, the present, the future. That's what's cooking in Philippine cuisine. Which
means that, as the most popular (people-created, people-processed and people-consumed)
segment of popular culture, it is dynamic and changing, living and lively."

Writing about Food. "When one describes food, one does not use words alone, but the
readers' remembering as well -- of past pleasures, savored sensations. One writes on and
with the readers' palates, alluding to food tasted as children, drawing on their reservoirs of
pleasure. In effect, one draws on all of the culture that shaped oneself and one's readers."

On Mangoes. “... we wager that the mango memories of many a Filipino still revolve around
the fruit ripening to fragrance in Maytime; around fat golden halves dripping their juice on
glistening suman in Antipolo; around mangoes peeled whole with the hands on farms and
at fiestas...to drip on chin and clothes; around mangoes chilled in river water rather than
in refrigerators, while the feasters-to-be swim in the rivers of childhood; around mangoes
sweet because stolen from consenting uncles or neighbors; around the fruit not as
commercial product, but as pledge of time and season and memory."
 Welgang Bayan: Empowering Labor Unions
Against Poverty and Repression
By: Rosario Torres-Yu
How do workers respond if management denies them the right to organize, to speak, and
to strike?

What pretexts do employers use to get away with their union-busting and witch-hunting
for progressive elements on the payroll?

How do government mandates meant to quell union activities instead fan the fire of
discontent and spur the spread of protests?

What factors innate to the Philippine colonial economy nurture the steady growth of
radicalism and militancy in the labor sector?

Welgang Bayan answers these questions by following the trade union movement from
1972 to 1984 as it braves the martial law years; celebrates May 1 milestones;
metamorphoses into the BMP, TUCP, and KMU, among others; and struggles for both
workers’ rights and rewards—from the tiny shops along Avenida Rizal to the export
processing zones, from the batilyos’ indignation Mass in Navotas to the legendary strike at
La Tondena—and along the way, leaves lessons for all employees, employers, labor leaders,
and legislators today.
