\u201cPabili po isang maikling kwento. \u2018Yung tingi lang po.\u201d<\/p>\n
The quintessential sari-sari store is an embedded Filipino culture you can\u2019t miss. Every barangay surely has this neighborhood fixture where a variety of goods are sold. Beyond being a go-to store where we buy chichiryas, instant coffees, and last-minute ingredients, the sari-sari store serves as an invisible string that ties communities together. It is where community stories, often chismis, are shared.<\/p>\n
Paying homage to such a heartwarming culture, publishing house Bookshelf PH launches the first edition of its ongoing anthology called \u201cSari-Sari Stories: Romance Edition\u201d. Just like the sari-sari store carries a variety of items, the books in the Sari-Sari Stories series will present various themes in each edition\u2013from romance and family to other Filipino-centered stories and culture. For this Romance Edition, we present a diverse selection of love stories, each one a reflection of the different facets of Filipino romance.<\/p>\n
From chance encounters and deceitful hearts to enduring love against all odds, the anthology promises something for everyone. Readers will find themselves immersed in narratives that range from sweet and tender to passionate and intense, each one leaving a lasting impression.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe Filipinos love the feeling of kilig,\u201d Monette Quiogue, Managing Partner of Bookshelf PH says. \u201cRomance is a genre we naturally gravitate to, and there is no shortage of love letters and stories written by aspiring Filipino authors. Sari-Sari Stories: Romance Edition proves how each of us has a story to tell and that love can be found in the most mundane or even unexpected moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
A collection of four stories, the anthology showcases diverse voices and unique perspectives on various themes. Like colorful snacks and drinks from a sari-sari store, you\u2019re in for an unexpected treat to satisfy your kilig cravings.<\/p>\n
\u201cLove is a universal experience and the diversity of these stories is what makes this collection rich,\u201d Michelle Dulinayan, Managing Editor says. \u201cWe have stories about Filipino LGBTs, stories that romanticize modern haranas, and stories of love and dreams amidst ruins and heartbreaks.\u201c<\/p>\n
Bookshelf PH invites everyone to join in celebrating this literary milestone. The book launch featuring the four Filipino authors and the faces behind publishing the anthology is on August 14, 2024 at the SM Aura Book Nook.<\/p>\n
