One of my reading goals this year is to explore more Filipino literature.
This month, I’m reading Gapô by Lualhati Bautista. My second after Dekada ’70, a novel about motherhood, resistance, and political awakening during Martial Law.
Gapô is set in Olongapo during the U.S. naval base era and examines identity, power, and belonging.
