Whatever: A New Collection Of Later Essays, 1987–2001

by Carmen Guerrero Nakpil

“ Whatever is a reference to the millennial way of ending an argument. It used to mean ‘anything,’ or ‘no matter,’ but . . . is now the trendy equivalent of saying all right, have it your way but this is my take on the subject.” The essays―by one of the most widely read essayists in the country―are offered in that spirit.

Genres: Essays

I like "Woman Enough and Other Writings" more than this collection.

My favorite essays are "The Favored Few" and "The Filipina as Exploiter." Moreover, the essays under "Journalism" enthralled me the most.
