Overview

A Fascinating and Funny Coming-of-Age Story Set in the Philippines.

This humorous coming-of-age memoir takes readers on a journey from kindergarten through college and beyond, capturing the experiences of a young teacher. Set in Manila, it explores universal themes of friendship, love, school life, academic struggles, and personal triumphs.

A National Bestseller in the Philippines, the book includes lively illustrations by award-winning cartoonist Freely Abrigo, a concept artist for Warner Brothers.

Through candid, warm, and humorous essays, Bob Ong recounts his upbringing in Marcos-era Manila of the 1980s, blending satire and nostalgia with everyday experiences such as:
  • Fighting for a seat in a crowded classroom
  • Enjoying Nutribuns (UNICEF's nutrient-enriched bread for developing countries)
  • Discovering a 20-inch rubber snake in your schoolbag
  • Participating in a disastrous school production of Star Wars
  • Struggling to adapt to university life
  • Gaining new insights as a teacher

Whether you're reminiscing about schooldays in the Philippines or simply looking for an entertaining memoir set against the backdrop of a vibrant Asian city, this book offers humor, heart, and insight.
