Book Descrip­tion:

Grow­ing Up Fil­ipino 3: New Sto­ries for Young Adults (USTph 2022) col­lects 25 short sto­ries by Fil­ipino authors in the US and the Philip­pines about what it means to be young and Fil­ipino. The sto­ries explore the uni­ver­sal themes of com­ing-of-age, love, angst, fam­i­ly, rela­tion­ships, and oth­er young adult issues. The sto­ries reveal Fil­ipino and Fil­ipino Amer­i­can cul­ture, mores, his­to­ry, soci­ety, pol­i­tics, and oth­er nuances. For instance, Fil­ipino respect for their elders, extend­ed fam­i­lies, reli­gious prac­tices, fune­re­al rites, love for folk­lore are appar­ent in the stories.

 Grow­ing Up Fil­ipino 3: New Sto­ries For Young Adults fol­lows two ear­li­er crit­i­cal­ly acclaimed books — Grow­ing Up Fil­ipino: Sto­ries For Young Adults (2003) and Grow­ing Up Fil­ipino Ii: More Sto­ries For Young Adults(2010), books that have been used by edu­ca­tors and enjoyed by adults and young adults alike.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
