Sylvia L. Mayuga, a three-time Palanca Award winner whose columns have appeared in the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Philippine Star since the martial law era, collects her essays spanning the turn of the millennium. The pieces range across Philippine politics, culture, spirituality, travel, and the country’s search for identity after Marcos and through the EDSA transitions. Drawing on her interest in indigenous traditions and the arts, Mayuga treats the Philippines as a place caught between historical epochs.
