You scarcely hear news this good nowadays so I definitely wouldn't pass the chance for it to grace my blog.

Do me a favor, will you? Click the link, read it and then go out and buy the book. Nope, you do not need to mention my name or that I sent you.  BUT it IS in my wishlist. So when I get home this December, I'd check the local shelves right away. But I hear it is going to be tough looking for Ilustrado in bookstores as it isn't published yet... sounds weird, huh?

In case.. just in case, you come across it, it would do me good too if you buy an extra copy and send it to me, teehee! I would definitely return the favor.

I am just so Proudly Pinoy.
