I think Filipinos need to read more books like this. I highly recommend this book to anyone who reads.
He presents his reflections in a witty - even funny - way that readers will be charmed and convinced rather than bored. The author uses his experiences in school as grounds and examples for the lessons he learned in life. But most significant about this book is that it offers subtle reflections that could leave a large impact on the readers. What's more, this work is filled with amazing wit, with hints of poignant sentiments. He writes in 'TagLish' (a combination of Tagalog and English), and in a conversational way, making this piece easy to read for the average Pinoy. They are basically the author's own school experiences from first grade mishaps to 'college-hopping', but we can undoubtedly relate with them.īob Ong's story-telling is really good, as far as this book shows. In this book by Bob Ong, those memories are cleverly captured with " mga kwentong chalk" ('chalk stories'). We may even reflect on what we learned in the classroom and in life. We may laugh, cry, or cringe when we look back at those memories now. Most of us have memories of our past school days.
