Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc - "Mabuhay maps out the temporal and geographic history of the Philippines, where every place shapes the narrative of a curious voyager as he unearths the history of the land and grows ever more connected to its people, from humble small-town residents to internationally renowned figures. This is the Philippines through the eyes of a uniquely positioned observer, a Spanish traveler -- a stranger by all accounts, yet one so intimately familiar with Filipino history and culture."
