Points:
1) All stories are more or less realistic-- as in true-to-life, non-fantastical.
2) This book will definitely make you take a good second look at Philippine literature, since the stories here are made by a couple of the great Filipino writers. (Therefore, awesome stories!)
((After all, there's really a lot of great stuff out there- and I'm not just talking about F. Sionil José or Liwayway A. Arceo :D))
3) The book brings to light the appreciation of these storytellers to the Tiempos (Edilberto K. Tiempo & Edith L. Tiempo), who are among the greats of Philippine literature, and who have had taught in their workshops many a well-known Filipino writer.
Good, informative, comforting read :D

there are anthologies that alphabetize contributors, and sometimes, they commence with apostol, gina. somewhere in the middle, the stories wither, flagging and flattening. then as ode to the first story which is mesmerizing, you trudge on towards the end, always searching for that first story wonder
some lines from apostol's story find themselves here https://ivanemilabayne.wordpress.com/...
"Somewhere in the South, kilometers and bodies of water away from both CCP’s Imperial Manila, the Beatles’ MIA (Manila International Airport) landing and the sham Solid North, another haunting. “Children were disappearing,” said Gina Apostol’s “A Tall Woman from Leyte” and “silvery scales like a fish’s were appearing on the long white legs of the tall First Lady” as the ‘monumental’ and ‘historic’ San Juanico Bridge was being built, sacrificing innocent lives.
