Australia has the world famous Sydney Opera House, United Kingdom has the British Royal Family, and China has chow mein... Just like other countries, there will always be things that make our beloved country unique -- people, places, events that we have, in time, called icons that every Filipino should know.
Adarna House and Bench have worked together to produce this wonderful reference book of 101 noteworthy icons of our heritage. Colorful and in easy-to-read format, every page features an icon representing a facet of the Filipino persona, a part of Filipino history, and an aspect of culture that should make each of us discover pride in our roots.
As many Filipinos have constantly look to other places for better things, 101 Filipino Icons grounds us back again on Filipino's rich soil amidst the riot that the country has become (ridiculous politics and the still rising prices of anything under the scorching sun). This book should be just the thing to pull at our heartstrings and bring somewhat of a hope to the future generations.
Come check out 101 Filipino Icons and its sequel (because the first cannot simply cover everything there is!), 101 Filipino Icons Volume II, at the Learning Resource Center in Divine Light Academy Las Piñas. If you're having difficulty finding the book or you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask the librarians or staff members present. We'd be more than willing to assist!
