Tiger Orchds, the first work of a projected trilogy, represents the author's imaginative coming home to the country's political reality. Tiger Orchids tells a love story against the backdrop of an erupting Mayon Volcano. James Collins, who manages a coconut oil-processing company in Legazpi, is having an affair with his beautiful secretary Zenaida. His wife Marjorie wants to return to California. His assistant Mark Ledesma, a U.P. activist in the 70's just before martial law, is being pressured by communists to take a more active role in the party. The parish priest Father Pelagio confronts social ills with the dilemma of pacificism and liberation theology.
