This is an alternative history to the history of the Philippines. It has elements of fantasy and historical fiction that immediately pulled me in. However, I couldn’t quite grasp parts of the story and it confused me a little. But I loved it over-all.

Bagumbayan Is an illustrated novel set in an alternate Spanish era Philippines where extraordinary bandits began to form a brotherhood that threatens Spanish rule over the land. For inquiries on how to get the book, you can send a message through the facebook page.

Here's my #mibf2017 haul! This is VERY small compared to last year's, but it's awesome regardless XD. . The jewel of this collection (imo) is the bilingual copy of the #BoxerCodex. Now that I've got most of Damiana Eugenio's books I'm targeting books that focus on precolonial history, and the Boxer Codex is one of the most important primary sources. So when I saw that #vibalpublishinghouse had released a bilingual edition (modern Spanish + English translation) WITH COLORED PLATES I knew I had to get it XD. They were also selling a book featuring botanical art of Filipino flora, but I passed on buying the first volume so I can get it AND Volume 2 next year XD. . Also swung by @meganoncomicsph and scored #BGMBYN Act 1, and then on to @visprint for some #Trese, #TheDarkColony, and #TabiPo (all three volumes). And then the #CalligraphyBible from @_fullybooked so I can really practice my calligraphy. I've thrown in the towel on ever getting Spencerian script right, so I'm gonna focus on what I appear to be okay at: the older Roman and Renaissance scripts XD.
