MACARTHUR

Bob Ong
 Macarthur or the Red Book is a 2007 novel by Filipino
author Bob Ong. It is the sixth published work from Ong. As
with all Bob Ong's published novels, it is notable for its use of
contemporary street Filipino words. It is also notable for its
departure from the usual Bob Ong formula of using humor to
comment on the various ironies of Filipino culture. Instead, it
offers a gritty, realistic look at life in a
Philippine slum community.
