Join Filipino-Canadian Author Bong Serrano for an Evening of Nostalgic Storytelling and Support for Philippine Typhoon Relief at the Philippine Consulate in New York
NEW YORK - Nyenta -- Filipino-Canadian author Bong Serrano, in partnership with the Philippine Consulate General in New York, invites the public to a special book signing benefit for his memoir, Batangas: My Sky and Earth—An Intimate Recollection and Reflection of My Childhood in the Philippines, on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Philippine Center New York.
This event offers attendees a chance to reconnect with Filipino heritage through storytelling while supporting those impacted by Typhoon Kristine. A portion of book sales will be donated to the Philippine Red Cross to aid disaster recovery efforts in Batangas and other affected areas. "My home province of Batangas has been hit hard by Typhoon Kristine, resulting in severe losses," said Bong Serrano. "Through this event, we extend our support from afar, helping these organizations continue their vital work and bring comfort and hope as the communities rebuild."
Batangas: My Sky and Earth transports readers to the Philippines of the 1970s and 1980s, offering a vivid portrayal of Filipino family life, faith, and traditions. Celebrated documentarist Howie Severino described the book as "remarkable and engaging" and a treasure for anyone interested in Batangas during that era. Readers' Favorite calls it a "vivid portrayal of life in a Filipino household" and "a true treasure and an enriching, educational read."
