Title: 101 FILIPINO ICONS, VOLUMES 1 AND 2
The two volumes contain a comprehensive survey of people, places, things and events that make the Filipino unique. All Filipinos–or those seeking to rediscover their heritage–will relate to these historical and cultural icons. The 101 icons in each volume represent the Filipino persona, a part of Filipino history, or an aspect of Filipino culture that would make every Filipino proud. Each of the icons are arranged historically, according to the time in history where they emerged as part of the Filipino’s consciousness.
The icons are described mostly in English but some are in Tagalog/Filipino. In some pages, there are suggestions for teachers or parents on how they can carry out discussions or activities that may resonate with the youth.
Since the first volume could not cover all, a second one was prepared, with the sequel following the format established in the first volume.
Both volumes are 9 by 12 inches, fully illustrated with photographs and appropriate graphics. It is a good keepsake for families that want to perpetuate the Filipino culture: the icons in the book can serve as a tool to generate discussion, serve as a reference source or a device to trigger memories.
