The PUP Center for Philippine Studies, PUP Research Institute for Culture and Language, together with the Center for Batangas Studies, De La Salle Lipa, proudly congratulates the translators and contributors of 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐬, a translation of 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒐𝒔 𝒅𝒆 𝒖𝒏 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒐 𝒅𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒔 𝑻𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒔 𝒃𝒚 𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒔 𝑹𝒖𝒃𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒐 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒓𝒂, for being named as Finalist in the Best Translated Book at the 43rd National Book Awards.

Translated into English and with notes by 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐳 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃. 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐛𝐚𝐤 and 𝐁𝐫. 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐑. 𝐏𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨, 𝐅𝐒𝐂, the book also features historical artwork illustrations by 𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐲, cover design by 𝐅. 𝐏. 𝐀. 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨 𝐈𝐈𝐈, and book layout design by 𝐄𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐒. 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐨.

Dr. Rubiano’s memoirs—long hidden in the National Library of Spain and never before translated or cited in Filipino accounts of the Revolution—are made accessible in this English edition to scholars and the general public. As a rare eyewitness narrative, the book offers vivid and compelling insights into the fateful events in Lipa in 1898 and 1899, including the siege of the town, encounters between Filipino revolutionaries and Spanish troops, the treatment of Spanish prisoners of war, and the educational and cultural renaissance that unfolded in the locality. Centered in Southern Luzon, these memoirs illuminate Lipa’s pivotal role not only in the 1898 Philippine Revolution but also in the Philippine-American War, which continued in Batangas long after President Aguinaldo’s surrender—opening powerful windows into a people’s experiences on the eve of nationhood.

This recognition affirms the strength of collaborative scholarship and creative work, and the enduring importance of translation in bringing neglected historical voices into the present.

Malugod na ibinabahagi ng PUP Center for Philippine Studies ang dalawang bagong publikasyon!

𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗰: 𝗔 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘆 𝗘𝗽𝗼𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝘆𝘁𝗼

This anthology gathers a decade's worth of essays and reviews on film by Epoy Deyto, tracing the evolution of his critical practice from personal blogging to politically grounded cultural critique. Beginning with his early blog Kawts Kamote (2009–2015) and later through Missing Codec (2016–present), Deyto reflects on the shifting landscape of online film criticism in the Philippines and its intersections with questions of legitimacy, labor, and creative autonomy.

The book situates film criticism within broader social and historical conditions, arguing that the act of writing about cinema is inseparable from one’s class position and political consciousness. Drawing from Marxist literary and cultural criticism, as well as the influences of Edel Garcellano and Domingo Castro de Guzman, Deyto articulates a “historical poetics” of viewing—where enjoyment, subjectivity, and ideology converge.

At once personal and polemical, Missing Codec reclaims the critic's role as both participant and witness in the struggle over meaning, pleasure, and power in Filipino cinema. It is a testament to the possibilities of independent, self-sustained cultural writing amid a commodified media landscape, foregrounding the political value of criticism as part of the broader terrain of class struggle.

Nakatuon ang proyektong Sulóy Súloy sa pagpapalawak at pagpapaigting ng pananaliksik at pagsusuri sa larangan ng Araling Pilipino. Layunin nitong maging isang espasyo para sa mga nagsisimula at papausbong na iskolar, mananaliksik, at mag-aaral, upang maipamalas ang kanilang mga pag-aaral sa iba’t ibang disiplina. Binubuo ang antolohiya ng apat na seksiyon na tumatalakay sa interseksiyon ng wika, kultura, mobilidad, kasarian, kabataan, politika ng representasyon, edukasyon, pedagohiya, pananaliksik, at mga naratibong pangkasaysayan at pangkultura. Tinatangka nitong palalimin ang pag-unawa sa pambansang identidad at karanasang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng mapanuring pagtingin sa mga lokal na realidad at interdisiplinaryong pagsisiyasat sa Araling Pilipino. Sumasalamin ang pamagat na Sulóy Súloy sa dalawang diskurso: ang pinagmulan ng isang bagay at ang bagong usbong ng halaman, na nagsisilbing metapora sa pag-usbong ng mga bagong ideya at perspektiba sa larangang ito.

LOOK: The book launch of Missing Codec: A Decade of Film Writing by Epoy Deyto was successfully held yesterday, December 17, 2025, at the PUP Center for Creative Writing, Room 212, Charlie del Rosario Building, PUP Main Campus, Sta. Mesa, Manila.
This volume brings together a decade of writing from Missing Codec, a weblog conceived in the spirit of a software error. Its reviews and critical essays reflect a cinema marked by disruption, one that is glitching, partial, and insistently demanding attention, where writing functions as a form of troubleshooting and an act of imagination and improvisation when established codes fall short. Running through the prose is an abiding commitment to craft and a do-it-yourself ethos shaped not by privilege but by necessity. To engage with cinema from the Third World is, ultimately, to contend with power itself and to assert the possibility of what institutions, markets, and histories have long foreclosed.
Congratulations on your new book, Epoy! We truly look forward to your future publications.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to the students, teachers, writers, and guests who supported this activity. We hope for your continued participation in our future events.

Collected in this volume is a decade's worth of writing for a project called Missing Codec: a web-log modeled from a software error. Captured in the reviews and criticism is a Cinema plagued by playback errors: glitching, incomplete, demanding attention; and where writing becomes a form of troubleshooting: imagining, improvising, and finding language where the codes do not fit. Threaded through the prose is a romance with artisanship and a do-it-yourself ethos, born less of privilege than of necessity. To make sense of cinema from the third world is to wrestle with power itself: to insist on making possible what institutions, markets, and histories have denied.
