A lot of Filipinos are very familiar with Bob Ong books. According to an online encyclopedia, Bob Ong, or Roberto Ong, is the pseudonym of a Filipino contemporary author known for using conversational Filipino to create humorous and reflective depictions of life as a Filipino.
His six books that has been published have surpassed a quarter of a million copies. Yes, readers really love his work. Here are those:
ABNKKBSNPLAko?!(Aba, Nakakabasa na pala Ako!) (2001) Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro Ang Mga Pilipino? (2002) Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas (2003) Alamat ng Gubat (2003) Stainless Longganisa (2005) Macarthur (2007) Kapitan Sino (2009)
Actually, during college, I also patronized his works. Since I don't have enough money to buy his books, I am patiently reading all of those inside my favorite book store here in Batangas. LOL but it is true! Hahaha. Later, I need to focus on more important matters so I need to stop reading his books. Hehehe.
Now, what will be the next book after Kapitan Sino?
"Tandang Makata" is said to be the upcoming novel of the famous author, Bob Ong. I am not 100% sure about this but I already saw that information on Kapitan Sino's Wikipedia entry here. If you want to see it by yourself, checking that link is absolutely free!
