The Birthing of Hannibal Valdez by Alfredo Navarro Salanga

THIS IS not yet the story of Hannibal Valdez. As stated in the novella's prologue, "This is the story of how he came to be born and of the circumstances surrounding his birth." The truth is, one can discern from the structure of this work that The Birthing of Hannibal Valdez is only the first part of a longer narrative by Alfredo Navarro Salanga. This part focuses more on the life of Hannibal's grandfather, Col. Leon Valdez, a charismatic leader during the 1896 Revolution and the Philippine-American War and a powerful landlord in an agrarian society until the period after World War II.
