Description
This poignant graphic memoir follows a daughter returning to Manila after her father’s sudden death, where grief opens the door to vivid memories of growing up in the Philippines during the 1980s. Set against a soundtrack of Duran Duran and Depeche Mode, it explores adolescence, family, faith, social class, and the upheaval of the Marcos era, including the historic 1986 People Power Revolution. With warmth, humor, and visual storytelling, the book interweaves personal history with a nation’s political transformation. It becomes an affectionate meditation on belonging, memory, family, and the complicated journey toward understanding oneself.
