Reviews

[Michael Gerald · Rating 4 out of 5]

Once again, Ambeth Ocampo has compiled a classic collection of his essays. What's great about this book is the smattering of events and what life was in Colonial Philippines. It's another must-read for Philippine history lovers.

[Harvey Fiji · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the second anthology of Ambeth Ocampo’s columns that I read. As indicated by the title this anthology includes some columns about Apolinario Mabini - Emilio Aguinaldo’s first Prime Minister in the First Philippine Republic. Like “Looking Back” this collection did not disappoint and was an interesting read as well.
