I’d say that if the West has Hans Christian Anderson or the Grimm Brothers, then here in the Philippines, we have Lola Basyang. The stories from the infamous grandmother were some of the things I’ve heard growing up and reading them again was very nostalgic for me. Similar to the A Treasury of Fairy Tales, these stories ought to be kept alive so that the children in the future would be able to appreciate them as well, since the whole collection of short stories is an epitome of the Filipino culture of the days past.
