Ano'yon? Ano'yan?: The Whats and Whys of Being Filipino by Cynthia Sta. Maria Baron, Illustrated by Millet Yraola Yulo (Out of Print)

by Cynthia Sta. Maria Baron
Illustrated by Millet Yraola Yulo

These 150 or so pages won't make you fluent or help you win a Filipino game show. We are only attempting to reinforce who we are by collecting kwan (translation: thingy) water down by many a night at the call center. Arranged according to our abakada (traditional Pilipino alphabet), we know our little dictionary of sorts will always be kulang-kulang (translation: lacking; cray-cray, in slang terms). A work in progress, join us in updating this book online with what's astig (translation: cool, hip, dope) and what makes you asar (translation: pissed off). Pardon the nose bleed (a term used to describe what Pinoys imagine would happen when they try to squeeze their brain out trying to speak proper English!).
