Ang antolohiyang ito ay binubuo ng mga “inagaw na tingin,” mga saglit na sulyap sa mga tao, lugar, at insidente na isinulat upang muling ibalik sa mambabasa ang mga bagay na madalas nating hindi tinitingnan o sadyang hindi natin napapansin. Sa mga tinging ito nagsisimula ang pagsusulat, at sa muling pagtitig ng mambabasa ito nagkakaroon ng saysay.

Bilang mamamahayag mula pa noong dekada 70, isinabuhay ng may-akda ang pagtanaw at pagtalima sa mga totoong karanasan—mula sa loob ng mga sinehan at simbahan, hanggang sa mga lansangan at rally, sa mga batang tumatakbo’t naglalaro o nagtutulak ng pangarap sa gitna ng kahirapan. Sa bawat artikulo, may tinig na muling binuhay, may damdaming ipinadama, at may katotohanang hinayaang umalingawngaw.

Tampok sa antolohiyang ito ang piling nonfiction na naisulat ng may-akda mula sa iba’t ibang publikasyon tulad ng Asia-Philippines Leader, TV Weekly, Metro Magazine, Mr. & Ms., Expressweek, Veritas, at National Midweek.

Sa pamamagitan ng Agaw-Tingin, muling binibigyang-halaga ang sining ng pagmamasid, pakikinig, at paglalahad, mga pundasyong nagpanday hindi lamang sa isang premyadong screenwriter at nobelista, kundi sa isang manunulat na may malasakit sa tao, sa katotohanan, at sa sariling wika.

Property, Patrimony, and Territory covers land use planning at various levels of government, by different agencies involved, and for various configurations of land and different territorial and property domains. The author argues that the geophysical attributes of land, though important, are often less critical factors to consider in effective land use planning than the social, economic, and political institutions that bear on land use decisions.

Due to the paucity of homegrown planning literature in the Philippines and the need to push certain planning concepts and approaches across the table of public policy discourse, Serote takes a critical and polemical stance on many of the issues he raises in the book.

03/09/2025

The author Cesar Adib Majul describes Mabini and the Philippine Revolution as “an attempt to view and analyze the great and dramatic events of the Philippine Revolution through the eyes and mind of an intellectual leader who not only helped to trace the route of the Revolution but also left a record of his reflections upon its gains, failures, and tendencies.” The book, Majul adds, does not shy away from Mabini’s own prejudices and errors as revealed by such musings, while it explores the Revolution’s comparable aspirations and defeats.

The framework that Majul follows in the process highlights “three elements regarding the political principles and programs of Mabini.” He writes: “The first refers to his philosophical and theoretical conceptions. The second deals with the manner in which some of these entered into the official proclamations and acts of the government of the Revolution. The last deals with how effective, in practice, were these official acts.”

This reprinted edition, therefore, invites a new generation of readers to probe deeper into the mind of the so-called brains of the revolution, at the same time as it captures historical and social transformations which remain relevant in our own time.

02/09/2025

In this virtuosic ensemble of poems sung in keys traditional and procedural, Christine V. Lao appraises the capacity of words to trace the gap, discern the displaced, and refract the lost. Resolute and spirited, the poems honor the poet’s duty to reckon with erasures past and present, with violence both enforced by the state and ensconced in intimate relationships, without absolving language of its role in the imposition of these harms. Training its attention on legal documents and the lexicon of law, Affidavit of Loss confronts the terrifying power of language as law to dictate the course of our lives, laying bare the persistent desire to find other ways of being in the power of language as poetry.

ABOUT THE BOOK

This book is a collection of narrative journalism focused on people living on the margins of society. The stories are based on years of field reporting all over the Philippines and in portions of Southeast Asia, and cover a range of themes including displacement, public health, education, armed conflict, and environmental degradation.

Each piece was reported on the ground and written with attention to detail, context, and the voices of those directly affected. It places the reader at the heart of the story and highlights the courage of ordinary people in the face of extraordinary hardship. The essays examine how broad issues affect people’s daily lives—on an individual level and as part of a larger national story.

The book also features documentary photographs taken by the author. The words and images work together to give readers a more visceral understanding of the realities that many people face. It also offers a nonfiction storytelling style that is not commonly found in today’s media landscape.

As a compilation of diverse stories, this book attempts to present a snapshot of Philippine society for future generations. It also encourages present-day readers to engage more deeply with the realities that many Filipinos face.
