Ocampo is a historian whose research covers the late 19th century Philippines, its art, culture and birth of the nation.

Title: QUERIDA

“A querida is more than a one-night stand, but less than a wife…and maybe treated as a partner, playmate or prostitute.” — from the introduction of the book. This anthology spans one hundred and twenty five years of literary portrayals of “the Mistress”, “No.2”, kabit, kalaguyo, kaliwa, and its other variants from Jose Rizal’s Dona Consolacion in Noli Me Tangere to Ishmael Bernal’s Marilou in Relasyon. This collection offers not only a feast of short stories, poetry and drama from the Philippines’ most accomplished and distinguished authors and also from its emerging writers. The anthology also provides insight into the querida’s “illicit, illegal lives.”
