Sarge Lacuesta breaks barriers of distance, love, and time with JOY, the author’s darkly loving anthem to contemporary Filipinos worldwide who struggle with family, identity, and loss. Lacuesta “reveals himself as a master of the novel form,” writes acclaimed author Robert Olen Butler.
Buy your copies of JOY at the Fully Booked stall and walk on over to the Penguin Sea booth where Sarge will be signing copies from 1 pm to 2 pm tomorrow, September 16, 2023, at the MIBF.

“A Death Foretold: the Ninoy Aquino Assassination Remembered” gathers the recollections and impressions of people on the assassination of Ninoy Aquino and the events surrounding it. Most of the accounts are from Filipinos who were there when it happened—individuals from diverse backgrounds and political persuasions.
Apart from firsthand accounts and personal insights, the book contains a timeline of events leading up to the assassination, and—as an epilogue—Ninoy Aquino's undelivered speech to his welcomers in Manila on that fateful day in 1983.
The book contains accounts from over 130 individuals, with approximately 150 photos, many of which have never been published until today. 280 pages, softbound, in full color.
Thank you so much for all your messages of interest and support. Copies now available for purchase!

On August 21, 1983, Ninoy Aquino returned from a three-year exile to continue his incarceration as a political prisoner, and, it was widely held, to discuss terms of reconciliation with the government that sent him to prison. Minutes after his arrival, he was shot in the head in broad daylight, just as he was being escorted out of the aircraft.
The mystery of the Aquino assassination remains unsolved. But the collective experience of Ninoy’s death, and of his public and colorful life before it, remains.
This book gathers intimate recollections and impressions of individuals who were there when it happened, whether they were home or away, whether they were politically allied or opposed, or indifferent. Because the distance of time comes with the privilege of perspective, we also sought insights from those whose minds or lives were changed over the years that followed—or whose age or youth gives them a unique viewpoint.
In understanding and accepting this experience, we understand in turn that there is value in the lived experience. There is value in remembering, in gathering memories, impressions, and insights. In doing so, we preserve the value of human experience, and its ascendancy in speaking the truth.
A Death Foretold: The Ninoy Aquino Assassination Remembered launches on August 30, 2023. 9 in. x 9.9 in, 280 pages, softbound, in full color, covering 150 accounts and featuring 200 photographs.

Happy to announce that Luna: A Journal of New Filipino Writing is now for sale online. Visit our shop at bit.ly/ShopGoodIntentions. As our editors profess in their notes, Philippine literature is alive and well!
Luna means many things: the moon, a great painter with a tragic flaw, a fierce general, a failed cryptocurrency, the mad light poets write by. During the pandemic when the future was a vast unknown, it also meant ambiguity: a light neither felt nor seen, but only remembered. It was this kind of ambiguity that we wanted to deliver with this journal: the everyday uncertainty and the urge to forge on even as we counted our losses and our small and large sorrows. We found comfort in the experiences of writing—lonely and shared at the same time.
To our writers and readers, our heartfelt and moonlit gratitude.
The public is invited to the launch of LUNA, a journal of New Filipino Writing, alongside the 2022 Philippine PEN Congress, held in partnership with the Cultural Center of the Philippines, at 2pm on Tuesday, September 20, 2022.
National Artist for Literature Gémino Abad will deliver the keynote presentation, which will be followed by Free the Word!, a mini-festival for global audiences, featuring readings and performances from esteemed local and international artists.
A book sale will also be held by independent and academic publishers. The list of the participating publishers include: Ricky Lee, Good Intentions Publishing, BVV8 Media Productions, UST Publishing House, Aklat Alamid, and Ateneo Press.
JOY ran out of stock on the very first morning of the Manila International Book Fair. Meanwhile, there are a handful available on our shelves, along with Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta's ASSEMBLING ALICE, which is now on its second print run. We are always open for preorders at bit.ly/ShopGoodIntentions. Thank you!
